    HP’s Chromebooks get a minor spec bump.

    The upcoming 14-inch HP Chromebook Plus and Chromebook Plus x360 announced at CES have been updated with Intel Core 3 N355 processors and offer up to 512GB of M.2 SSD storage, with the previous 16:9 aspect ratio displays switching to 16:10.

    Aside from the new 16:10 aspect ratio, the most noticeable change on both the Chromebook 14 Plus (left) and 14 Plus x360 (right) is the lack of speaker grills on either side of the keyboard.
