The sad truth is most Chromebooks (http://mashable.com/category/chromebooks/) are cheap and underpowered — $200 to $300 laptops that are just barely good e**ugh to browse the web, stream video and edit a couple of Google documents.*
But Chromebooks are growing up (http://mashable.com/2016/03/29/acer-chromebook-14/). Designed closely with Google, HP's new Chromebook 13 is a premium Chromebook that offers a lot, both in terms of design and performance.

Starting at $499, the Chromebook 13 is more than the typical Chromebook, but **t nearly as hard on the wallet as Google's Pixel 2 (http://mashable.com/2015/03/11/chromebook-pixel-2-review/), which starts at $999.99.

And whereas most Chromebooks are usually thick 1-inch clunkers, the Chromebook 13 is **t. At 0.5 inch, its brushed aluminum body is thinner than a 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display (0.71 inch) and only a hair thicker than the HP's ultra-thin Spectre 13.3 (http://mashable.com/2016/04/05/hp-spectre-13/) (0.4 inch). The Chromebook 13's thinness also translates to lightness — it's only 2.86 pounds. Read more... (http://mashable.com/2016/04/28/hp-chromebook-13/)
