HP Chromebook 11 G9

The HP Chromebook 11 G9 Education Edition is a budget-friendly laptop designed with durability in mind. Weighing 1.3 kg, this device boasts a robust design that can withstand a 1.2 m drop, making it suitable for children or those prone to accidents. However, its specs reveal a less impressive picture: an Intel Celeron N4500 processor and 32 GB of eMMC storage might hinder multitasking capabilities. Let's explore if this laptop's battery life and build quality can redeem its performance shortcomings.

Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Go
