HP Announces All-Metal Chromebook 13: Thinner Than MacBook Pro, Costs $800 Less

Posted by msmash on from the Chromebook-gets-its-MacBook-moment dept.

On Thursday, HP unveiled a new Chromebook 13. Designed in collaboration with Google, the Chromebook 13 sports an all-metal body and is merely 13mm thick while weighing 1.29kg. It sports a 13-inch display with 3200x1800 pixels resolution and is powered by Intel's sixth-gen Core M processor, which comes coupled with up to 16GB of RAM. There's a USB Type-C port as well, and the company is also promising up to 11.5 hours of battery life on a single charge. The retail price of the HP Chromebook starts at $499, and will launch in the US later this month.

    Much MUCH thinner than the HP all-metal chromebook, and costs $500 less.

      And it has two sides! It dual-boots!

    That's good. I was worried there would be no place to plug in my headphones

    No wireless. Less space than a Nomad. Lame.

    I know Carly may have fired HP's best and brightest, but they *do* know it doesn't have to be made out of actual Chrome, right?
