When Google launched the prototype Cr-48 Chromebook\u00a0in the winter of 2010, the netbook was underpowered and little more than a Chrome browser plus a rudimentary file system. But the Chromebook platform was known for its constant connections\u2014necessary when the netbook couldn\u2019t do much, if anything, offline\u2014as well as massive battery life on the order of 10 or 11 hours. That\u00a0HP nc6200 laptop battery<\/a> life decreased over subsequent iterations of the Chromebook, however, as Google\u2019s partners increased the capabilities of the processor. The Pixel, as powerful as it was, had a battery life of roughly four hours, depending on how it was used.<\/p>\n Neither the OEMs nor Google disclosed the pricing for the new Chromebooks, which still face questions about packaged apps\u2014and whether the Chrome OS-powered devices are in fact suitable to replace a PC. Google\u2019s Sengupta reiterated the mantra of the Chromebook devices: that they\u2019re constantly updated, so are always adding features. Still, the Chromebook\u2019s selling points are cheap computing with all-day battery life. The new models will tick at least one of those boxes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" HP, Acer and Toshiba plan to launch Chromebooks in the fourth quarter with Intel\u2019s \u201cHaswell\u201d processor inside, returning to what the Chromebook was originally known for: all-day battery life.

<\/a>HP vice president Mike Nash said that the battery life of the Chromebook 14 comes in at about 10 hours. That\u2019s good news for Chromebook buyers who are used to long battery life. The Chromebooks will offer 50 percent more battery life and be 15 percent faster than the Ivy Bridge models available today, Intel vice president of software and services Doug Fisher said during a keynote at the Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco.<\/p>\n
