HP Chromebook 11 (Snow White)

I'm sure you all have heard of Chromebooks and I'm sure that you all have your own ideas about them. This is not an article about what is or isn't correct, this is about what I personalty think of them and why I own one. Most people who think of Chromebooks put them in the same category as laptops but I don't think that's right. Chromebooks are more like a high end tablet with a built in keyboard and track pad. With computers and tablets coming closer and closer together it's getting harder to find the line between the two.  I already own an HP Pavilion laptop for main use at the house but I needed something cheap but high quality to use when I'm on the go. I would have loved to get a macbook air but sadly those are out of my price range. I went the route of Chromebooks because of their simplicity and style. They are lightweight be easy to use (once you understand chrome OS). I can't speak for everyone when I say this but I think that if you are a high school or college student you should have a laptop or a tablet of some kind that they carry around to class for note taking and such. (I use a surface 2 at the moment).

I think that Chromebooks are more in the tablet family more then they are the laptops family. Most Chromebooks have a tablet like CPU and flash storage or an SSD with 16GB like mine has.

I have talked enough about Chromebooks in general but this is about the one I picked up and why I choose to do so. I purchased the HP Chromebook 11 in Snow White from Amazon, Here are a full list of specs.
