A Chromebook for Gen Z.

HP’s new Chromebook Plus devices aim to fulfill the needs of today’s young people — who are looking, HP has determined, for “technology that is flexible, adaptable, and delivers powerfully immersive experiences, while keeping the planet in mind.”

The Plus, coming in 14-inch and 15.6-inch options, will feature 12th-Gen Intel processors, AI video conferencing tools. The 15-incher ($599.99) has a 144Hz screen option; the 14-incher ($749.99) has recycled material in the cover and hinge. Both go on sale October 8th.
