The HP Chromebook 14, named such as it is powered by Google’s Chrome OS, is a basic laptop that’s more than enough for students and employees who only need to perform basic tasks.

The HP Chromebook 14 features a 14-inch multitouch screen with 1366 x 768 HD resolution, which is clear enough for working with documents or watching videos. The laptop is powered by the entry-level, dual-core Intel Celeron processor with 4GB of RAM, which is capable of handling general productivity tasks. It also comes with an HP TrueVision HD webcam and a dual array microphone to enable video meetings.

The main advantage of Chromebooks over traditional laptop, in addition to the generally lower price, is their quick startup and snappy performance because Chrome OS utilizes web-based apps. The reliance on online services is why the HP Chromebook 14 only comes with 32GB of eMMC flash memory, as most of your files will be on cloud storage.

The HP Chromebook 14 is a very portable laptop, as it weighs only 3.4 pounds and is 0.7 of an inch thin. It also has an estimated battery life of just 11 hours, which should be enough juice for you to keep working while on the go.

BLUETTI Elite 200 V2 portable power station deal -- hero

If you've been paying attention, and I'm sure you have, you already know that a bunch of BLUETTI Black Friday deals have dropped, including on its latest Elite 200 V2 portable power station, and more gear like the Charger 1. But if you thought it all ended there, you were mistaken. There's a lot more on offer this year and now's a great time to stock up on portable power, accessories -- like solar panels -- and much more. See, the idea is to make sure you have home backup and off-grid power before any big events happen. Before all those hurricanes and tornadoes and big storms. Being from Florida myself, I know better. But either way, you should consider these deals and I highly recommend grabbing something, so let's get into it.

As an aside, right now you can use code DT01 for an extra 5% discount on top of all sale prices. That code is exclusive to Digital Trends readers and applicable to all products on BLUETTI's website.
