Google's slim $279 HP Chromebook 11 runs off of a cellphone charger - NBC News.com

HP Chromebook 11

The laptop itself joins the ranks of sub-$300 Chromebooks that are defying the PC downturn and actually growing in popularity. At $279, it's on the higher end of the Chromebook market, but it beats its predecessors with a brighter, easier-on-the-eyes LCD and speakers placed directly under the keyboard for better sound projection.
The body of the laptop, which weighs just over 2 lbs., is a shiny plastic with a reinforced magnesium frame for extra rigidity. It feels pretty plasticky, but solid nonetheless. It's got a front-facing camera and two USB 2.0 ports, along with a headphone jack and that microUSB charging port, which also doubles as a SlimPort video out. Internal storage is a mere 16GB, which is probably why Google also throws in 100GB of Google Drive cloud storage for two years. (That $279 also gets you 12 free sessions of Gogo in-flight Wi-Fi.)
