With USP

The HP Chromebook runs with me now for a few weeks, and it did not disappoint me. ChromeOS is, despite constant enhancements, still far no substitute for a 'real' operating system. But as a surf station and mobile device, it's enough for me just fine. It is with respect to the simplicity and low maintenance an all-inclusive package.

Among the Chromebook is the HP Chromebook 11 for me without competition (yes, there was still the pixels ...): And because of the intensely colored and viewing angle stable IPS displays. That there is in this price range anywhere else. It just makes me a lot more fun, so to view photos and surf the Web. Since the standard TN panels literally look pale against from ...

Other benefits include:

- Low weight (1,040 g reweighed)
- The stable and knarzfreie housing together with good keyboard,
- The ability to load via microUSB. This is, contrary to some otherwise messages with other microUSB chargers. I've tried it with my Nokia charger (1.5A) and the Nexus 7 (2A). Charging takes then very long, and in operation it is not enough to keep the charge level. With the original charger (3A) of the battery is fully afloat again.
- The device runs without fan and therefore silent.

What bothers me, but did not prevent the purchase:

- The compulsion to Google Account
- The already mentioned in other reviews, rather poor performance. This often results in fast scrolling for example for half a second to checkered insertion ads instead of website content. A bit annoying ...
- The battery life is ok with about 5 hours, but no more.
- No SD card slot

The shiny white case is a matter of taste, and that's why I do not rate it. A mobile option would be great.

Since I have the Chromebook, the Nexus 7 is rum almost entirely unused. Buy recommendation.
