The Chrome OS platform hit a major milestone late last year with the introduction of the Chromebook Plus program. Any machine bearing the Chromebook Plus badge has met stringent hardware requirements regarding performance, storage, display and webcam resolution, and has access to exclusive Chromebook Plus features. This means you can get a capable laptop at an affordable price, like this Chromebook Plus 15.6-inch from HP. It has everything you'd want in a $500 laptop, except today you can pick one up for just $300.
