HP unveils Chromebook 11 G5 that’s said to last for 12.5 hours

Daniel Morial

HP outs a new Chromebook touting a simple yet pleasing design and, of course, running the latest Chrome OS from Google.

Chromebook 11 G5

The HP Chromebook 11 G5 sports an 11.6-inch HD IPS display with narrower bezels than its predecessor and also a lighter weight for portability. You can opt for a touchscreen or just a simpler traditional panel and get longer battery life in return — 12.5 hours according to the manufacturer. It’s powered by an Intel Celeron N3060 processor clocked at 1.6GHz. You can also choose either 2GB or 4GB of RAM and 16GB or 32GB of flash storage for the configuration.

The notebook will be initially available through selected partners by July, while a wider release is scheduled in October, starting at $189 or roughly Php 8,900 when directly converted.
