New HP Chromebook 14 comes with a shiny new 1080p screen

Electronics firm HP has recently announced a new HP Chromebook 14 with a colourful Full HD IPS display. HP first made a name for itself with bright and colourful Chrome OS machines and it is following up with a new 14-inch notebook available in 'Turbo Silver' and 'Sky Blue'.

The new Chromebook borrows a lot of its looks from the EliteBook Folio 1020 G1 for a sleeker and thin design. In turn this machine measures a mere 17.8mm thick while weighing in at 3.94 pounds, pretty neat for a 14-inch notebook.

Internally the Chromebook will come with a 2.16GHz Intel Celeron N2840 processor, 16GB storage and 2GB of RAM. HP promises users will get up to 9 hours and 15 minutes of battery life, so it's all standard fare for a Chromebook, t hough, we have to say the CPU is quite antiquated at this point.

But it's using last year's processor. We were used to finding this late 2014 Celeron chip in devices such as the Dell Chromebook 11 and Samsung Chromebook 2 .

However, the world has since moved onto newer Celeron processors such as the 1.5GHz Intel Celeron 3205U. The base model will release on November with a 1,366 x 768 display for $249 while the optional full HD display bumps up the price to $ 279.

Made especially for small businesses and educational customers, HP is also releasing a G4 version of the HP Chromebook 14.
