HP Launches Premium Chromebook x360

Company’s thinnest Chromebook convertible delivers high-end design and versatile

performance

Palo Alto, Calif., Oct. 8, 2018 — HP Inc. today announced the HP Chromebook x360 14, HP’s thinnest

Chromebook convertible device for the popular Chrome OS.

As Chromebooks grow in popularity and are increasingly used as a primary device, consumers expect a

similar or even better experience versus a traditional laptop. Based on internal HP research1

, 47 percent of

those surveyed believed the Chrome OS is easy to use, while 60 percent of respondents feel hybrid form

factors are more innovative, fun, and relevant than the traditional clamshell design. Understanding these

insights, HP set out to create an experience that exceeds the demands and expectations of what a

Chromebook should be.

“As customers continue to embrace the Chrome ecosystem, we have learned that they are often seeking the

same design and features that make our other convertible devices so popular,” said Kevin Frost, vice

president and general manager, Consumer PCs, HP Inc. “With the success of the HP Chromebook x2 earlier

this year, customers have signalled they want premium choices and powerful experiences in their Chrome

devices. We are excited to expand our Chromebook portfolio with the HP Chromebook x360 14 – an

unparalleled Chrome experience with a head-turning design that delivers the power and performance our

customers expect.”

Meticulously Designed to Delight

The Chromebook x360 offers a gorgeous, premium design and elegance with 3D stamped metal

keyboard deck and a diamond-cut trim on the touchpad. An Advanced Electrodeposition (AED) application

gives the device’s cover a protective and decorative coating, creating a ceramic-like white finish. In

addition to the beautiful matte design, this maintains the metal characteristic of the Chromebook and

provides additional strength, durability and scratch resistance. Additionally, the anodized aluminum

keyboard deck in cloud blue with color matched keycaps offers subtle premium touches designed to turn

heads.
