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 and
Le**vo 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.
