From Sleekbooks to Chromebooks
What happens when you take a thin and light ******* PC and transform it into a Chromebook? Here are 2 examples of laptops from HP (http://www.shopping.hp.com/en_US/home-******/-/products/Laptops/Laptops?SearchParameter=%26%40QueryTerm%3D*%26bran dlaptops_dte2%3DPavilion%2BChromebook_or_Pavilion% 2BSleekbook%26CategoryUUIDLevelX%3DjeEQxXjbj14AAAE 0syxcZzOW%26Processor_facet_DTE2%3DIntel%26Screen_ Size_facet_DTE2%3D%255B12.0%2BTO%2B14.99%255D%26%4 0Sort.TieredPricing%3D0&PageSize=15) and Le**vo (http://shop.le**vo.com/betaweb/us/en/laptops/thinkpad/x-******/#/?facet-3=1&page-index=1&facet-7=1&facet-7=4) that have been morphed into Chromebooks. Both replaced an Intel Core i3 CPU with a Celeron CPU, the standard HDD with a 16GB SDD and ******* with Chrome OS. HP made some additional changes and ******* 2GB of RAM and replaced the 2 USB 3.0 ports with USB 2.0 ports.
The price dropped from $590 to $330 for the HP laptop and from $620 to $430 for the Le**vo laptop. The cheaper Intel CPU and the free Chrome OS license help manufacturers save about $200.
