A:AnswerDepending on what exactly you're studying, this Chromebook may be a good choice for you. Because you can only download and install apps from the Chrome store, if any of your classes require software that's not available there, you'd need a conventional Windows laptop. Also, the storage is somewhat limited, so at some point you'll probably need a micro SD card to go into the available slot to give you more storage.
A:AnswerDefinitely. Runs all of the major services well. The speakers are more than a bit tinny, but it comes with an analog headphone jack and Bluetooth for alternate headphones. The killer part is that, if you use USB-C to hook this up to your larger TV, the video output can scale up to 4K resolution! That is awesome.
A:AnswerThis may explain the recurring end of life question. The HP team says end of life is Jun 2026 but the machine itself says Jun 2024, a significant difference. Online, https://support.google.com/chrome/a/answer/6220366 says end of life for HP x360 11 G1 EE is Jun 2024. Is it possible we bought older models with a newer labels? It isn't Best Buy's error because the box and the machine definitely say model 11a-NB0013DX. But your network and the end of life dates match model HP x360 11 G1 EE.
A:AnswerHi KT. HP does not make hard cases for the Chromebooks. There are many 3rd parties offering hard cases however. Here are the dimensions of the Chromebook to help you select one:
12.05 in (W) x 8.19 in (D) x 0.71 in (H).
A:AnswerThis does not have Word or PowerPoint. Because it is a Chromebook, you need to have a gmail account to log in each time you use it. If you need Word and PowerPoint, look into getting an Outlook email account. It's free and will allow you to access basic versions of Word, PowerPoint, Excel online.
This could work for us as a laptop for college. Just know that it is basic and I have tried to suggest ways to access programs that you may still need to use.
This was from a question under yours :)
A:AnswerThis Chromebook comes with 32 gigagbytes eMMC. Embedded Multimedia Card or eMMC is a more affordable and slower Flash-based storage than solid-state drives. eMMC is usually found in smartphones and other consumer electronics devices but is rarely used in personal computers. In everyday use, the performance of eMMC storage is somewhere between the speed of HDDs and SSDs. The estimated battery life is 12 hours and 30 minutes.
A:AnswerYes, you can print from a Chromebook. You will want to be sure the Chromebook is on the same wireless network as the printer. Here are some instructions on how to connect the printer to the Chromebook: https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c04122530
A:AnswerBecause it's a Chromebook, it can only install and run apps that are available from the Chrome store. Unfortunately, none of the Cricut software is available.
A:AnswerIt's a very good, low price chromebook. You probably won't be able to install Word on it, but you can use Word online, and of course it's set up for Google docs right away. It's designed for mostly online work using online apps.
A:AnswerIt does not have a touchscreen. I haven't seen a touchscreen laptop at this price. I just purchased a Logitech M310 Wireless Optical Mouse to go with it so I don't have to use the touch pad. It's well worth the extra $15 or so to make it so much easier to use.
