We recently learned that HP was working on a Chromebook with an Intel Skylake processor and 16GB of RAM. It turns out that’s just part of the story.
According a spec sheet posted on the HP website, the upcoming HP Chromebook 13 G1 is a fanless notebook which will be available in a variety of configurations.
The 3 pound notebook supports up to 16GB of RAM, up to a 3200 x 1800 pixel IPS display, and up to an Intel Core M processor.
Update: The HP Chromebook 13 is official, and it sells for $499 and up.
Here are some of the features and options for the HP Chromebook 13 G1″
- 13.3 inch 1920 x 1080 pixel or 3200 x 1800 pixel IPS display
- Intel Pentium or Intel Core M Skylake processor options
- 4GB to 16GB of RAM
- 0.5 inches thick and 3 pounds
- Backlit keyboard

Just about the only things we don’t know about the laptop at this point are the price and release date… although early retail listings suggest a model with a Pentium processor, 4GB of RAM, and 32GB of storage could sell for between $521 and $920.
