HP upgrades Chromebook 14 with longer battery life

HP refreshed its Chromebook 14 to give it better battery life and reducing its price by US$50. Now rated to last for nine hours and 15 minutes for the 1,366 x 768 display, it’s up from eight hours of the previous generation. The Chromebook also now gets an Intel Celeron N2840 chip instead of an NVIDIA one, which could possibly explain improved performance. It also comes with a 1080p option but your battery might take a hit with this one. Unfortunately, there’s no expansion options beyond 2GB for memory. This’ll be available in the U.S. starting November 8^th for $250 or $280 if you want the Full HD version. It’s a pretty compelling product, let’s hope HP brings it here, too.
