1.HP
11-6 Chromebook (Touchscreen Chromebook with 3x Faster WiFi –
Intel)
The HP Chromebook 11-6
is adequate in the best sense of the word: it has what you need, and nothing
else. It features a reasonably solid build quality, is light and very portable
at about 2.5lbs. Its 11.6-inch,1368 by 768-pixel display is clear and fairly
bright with decent color. The keyboard is large and comfortable to type on,
although it does feel a bit like typing on wet cardboard if you are used to
more expensive keyboards on laptops like the Thinkpad X1. The touchpad is large
and responsive, recognizing left (one finger) and right (two-finger) mouse
clicks without issues. Its battery life is also pretty good: we found that it
lasted an impressive nine hours and 34 minutes on our browsing battery test.

2.Acer Chromebook 11 CB3-532
Acer Mac-like look for the Chromebook 11, and it works pretty well, as it looks sleek and svelte. This thin and light (under 2.5lbs) Chromebook was the top performer in our browser performance tests, edging out the Samsung by a slim margin. The Acer handled the web tasks that we tried without strain, chewing through a couple of complex Google Spreadsheets and streaming HD video from Youtube without straining.
3.Samsung Chromebook 3
The Samsung Chromebook 3 is a sleek, svelte machine that is the thinnest in this roundup, at 0.7 inches thick. It was a little thin in our tests as well, though, managing 6 hours and 41 minutes in our battery tests, the second shortest time. It was pretty nippy, though, managing scores near the top for performance. The keyboard is comfortable to type on, although we did find that it made a slight (but noticeable) rattling noise when we were typing at speed. The touchpad is large and well-placed for easy use, but the 16GB MMC drive this laptop ships with is rather cramped, leaving just under 8GB of free space with only the essentials installed.
4.Dell Chromebook 11 (16GB)
The Dell Chromebook 11 is a laptop that takes its style cues from more expensive Dell laptops. It has the same clean, grey plastic design as its more fully-featured siblings but runs Google’s Chrome OS rather than Windows. That’s not a bad thing, though: this OS provides access to all of Google’s online services, including Google Docs and Gmail. Its 11.6-inch screen is clear and bright, and its keyboard has large keys with a decent amount of travel for responsive typing.
The Dell Chromebook 11 has a decent screen and keyboard, its 16GB of MMC storage.
5.HP Stream 11.6 (32GB)
The HP Stream 11.6 offers decent performance and long battery life packed
It has Intel Celeron N4000 Processor, 4 GB RAM, 32 GB eMMC, Windows 10 Includes Office.
