But the HP Chromebook 14 doesn’t come in black, so I was left with no choice but to buy the gadget that first caught my eye — a big, gaudy, matte pink notebook. It’s the biggest, loudest Chromebook yet, and at $299 it’s a remarkably affordable device for what it offers: a big 14-inch screen, a brand-new Intel processor, and all the ports and options you might not expect from a Chromebook. Chrome OS is having a moment. A Chromebook could soon become a truly viable notebook, and not just a living room companion or your family’s fourth laptop.
