The new HP Chromebook 14 is a notebook computer manufactured by Google with the collaboration of HP company. Display screen is 14-inch, resolution is 1366 x 768 pixels and 1.4 GHz Intel celeron 2955U processor has been used.
The storage capacity is 16 GB and 100 GB of Google Drive can be obtained freely for two years period. 3G services can be utilized with the help of 2GB dongle. USB ports, HDMI port and SD card slot is available. We can use Bluetooth and WiFi services. It weights just 1.85 Kgs and battery capacity is 9.5 hours. HP Chromebook 14 price is Rs 26,990/-
The applications being used in Windows are difficult to use in Chromebook. The popular software like MS Office, Adobe, Firefox, VLC player will not be possible to use. Chromebook 14 has inbuilt some of the favorite apps and we can use more apps available in the Chrome Web Store duly installing. It will not support 3D games. Because there is less internal memory, it becomes difficult to save videos. Using pen drive or external storage drive we can store and view videos and movie files. We can view mp4 video alone in full resolution. We cannot play mkv, flv, wmv video file formats. The highlighting feature is having inbuilt virus protection that protects the Chromebook against viruses and worms.
Samsung had manufactured the Chromebox PC which is a fast, compact type of desktop PC.
Connecting the Chromebox to the monitor, we can use as Chromebook. It will work as a CPU as seen by the side of desktop. Intel celeron processor was used in Chromebox.
We will get a doubt that to use Chromebook is net connection necessary? In online also there is a possibility to use Chromebook. Gmail can be accessed and we can do changes to documents in Google Drive. We can view some kind of games. In the Chrome Web Store for that convenience, there are apps to run in online. After adding those to "Chrome OS", even if there is no net connection, those can be used. But Chromebook is convenient to those who are attached more to Network. When compared to the Laptops working with Windows OS, Chromebook takes less time for booting. It will be ready within 7 seconds after put on to work. Battery charging will also withstand for much time. Once charged we can use up to 9.5 hours. Weight is lesser compared to others and is very convenient for long journey travelers. If any problem arises in Chromebook, then as if in mobile we can do 'Factory Reset' which is otherwise called as 'Power Wash'. Factory Reset can be done entering into settings and by this it will be changed as how it would be at the time of purchase. Others who want to use the Chromebook, they can log in with their Gmail ID to use. To disable of anyone using like that, go to the settings and disable 'Guest Access'. Thanks!
