It’s official: HP is rolling out a Pavilion Chromebook laptop
Hewlett-Packard is officially introducing its first Chromebook laptop, a $329.99 machine with a larger screen than any other Google-powered computer on the market.
The computer, formally named the “HP Pavilion Chromebook,” was expected after a file was discovered on HP’s website last week with details about the laptop.
The standout feature on the HP Pavilion Chromebook is its 14-inch display, which has a 1,366 by 768 pixel resolution. The screen is larger than that of other Chromebook laptops, which offer 11.6-inch and 12-inch displays.

The laptop also comes with an HD webcam, an HDMI port, three USB 2.0 ports and a memory card slot. HP says the Pavilion Chromebook has a 4.25-hour battery life.
