HP’s new Chromebook x360 14 brings business style to Chrome OS

HP also adds AMD processors to one of its existing affordable Chromebooks.

Valentina Palladino

HP is the latest manufacturer to make an elite Chromebook with more power than most users probably need. The new HP Chromebook x360 14 G1 debuted ahead of the start of CES today. It's a premium Chromebook designed for commercial customers, and, indirectly, it was designed to compete with high-end devices from Dell, Lenovo, and others.
