HP Chromebook 11 G8 EE Review
HP Chromebook 11 G8 EE, HP's 2020 education Chromebook with an Intel Celeron, soldered LPDDR4 and eMMC, an 11.6-inch 1366x768 display and a 47.36Wh GH02XL battery.
HP built the 11 G8 EE for classrooms, so most units in circulation are school fleet machines. It shipped with three screens: a UWVA (IPS) touch panel on a 40-pin cable, a UWVA non-touch panel and a cheaper SVA (TN) non-touch panel, both on 30-pin cables. Check which one you have before ordering a replacement. The AMD sister model is the Chromebook 11A G8 EE.
Screen and battery parts
Touch models take the AUO B116XAK01.1 (40-pin on-cell touch). Non-touch models take a 30-pin 11.6-inch HD panel: AUO B116XAN04.0 (IPS) or Innolux N116BGE-EB2 (TN). HP display spares: L89785-001 (touch), L89784-001 (UWVA non-touch), L89783-001 (SVA non-touch). Battery: GH02XL, spare L75783-005.
Our verdict
Reviewed by Burooj Alam. Rated by us, not by users.
Expert rating5.9 / 10
This 11.6-inch Chromebook is built for classroom use. It weighs 1.3 kg, carries a 47.36 Wh battery and runs ChromeOS on a Celeron N4020, which handles web apps, documents and video calls without fuss for a model of this class.
The screen is a 1366 x 768 IPS panel at 220 nits, so text looks soft and it is hard to read in bright rooms.
Best for
- Students and classrooms needing a simple 11.6-inch ChromeOS laptop
- Web, email and Google Docs work on a small budget
Not for
- Anyone who needs more memory or storage later, since both are soldered
- Buyers who want a sharp screen, as it is 1366x768
