That HP11 is also "fanless." No noise!

HP New Chromebook with Verizon LTE Incoming [Reuters]


"Next gen HP Chromebooks to have Verizon LTE
This year will certainly prove to be a full year for Chromebooks. Toshiba has just announced its very first offering at CES 2014 and Dell has joined the party not so long ago.

Also expected to make an appearance this year is ASUS, which has been reportedly prepping two Chromebook models as well. And talking to the press at CES, a Lenovo official revealed they too, are planning to spawn the market with “multiple Chromebook offerings” in 2014.

HP has already some models on the market, but that doesn't mean the company isn't looking to refresh its line. New information reported by Reuters allows us to take a sneak peek into HP’s plans concerning Chromebooks.

Apparently, Hewlett Packard has teamed up with Israel’s Altair, a manufacturer of fourth-generation chips for (4G) mobile technology known as LTE, in order to bring Verizon LTE compatibility to its revamped line of Chromebooks.

According to the new report, the laptops in question will be based on the Wi-Fi version of the HP Chromebook 11 that made an appearance on the market back in October. Thus HP will have the only LTE capable Chromebook offering on the market....
