When Google first came out with its Chromebook computers, they didn’t gain much traction, but that started to change in late 2012 and earlier this year thanks to low-cost new models with nice designs, such as the $250 Samsung Chromebook.

The Mountain View, Calif.-based company is hoping the new HP Chromebook 11 continues that momentum.

Join us as we get our first glimpse at the latest Chromebook.
