HP goes against the grain with 14-inch Pavilion Chromebook
Chrome OS finally seems to be getting some attention from top PC vendors. Close on the heels of Lenovo’s recent announcement of its maiden Chromebook, a spec sheet detailing HP's first Chrome OS device was discovered on the PC and printing ink behemoth's website on Monday.
Before being pulled off HP's website, the said document gave away pretty much everything worth knowing about the device. We now know that HP has decided to go against the grain by opting for the 14-inch form factor for its Chromebook instead of the 12.1- and 11.6-inch options currently on the market.
The other specs, though, are pretty standard: 1.1 GHz dual-core Intel Celeron 847 processor, 2GB DDR3 RAM, 16GB SSD, 14-inch LED-backlit screen (1,366x768), HP TrueVision HD Webcam, three USB 2.0 ports, and a 4-Cell lithium-ion battery with a rather abysmal 4.25-hour battery life.
An official announcement is likely on or after February 17, 2013, the ad embargo date mentioned in the document.
