HP Chromebook 11A G8 EE Review
HP Chromebook 11A G8 EE, the AMD version of HP's 2020 education Chromebook, with an 11.6-inch 1366x768 display, soldered memory and eMMC, and a 47.36Wh GH02XL battery.
The 11A G8 EE shares its screen options and battery with the Intel Chromebook 11 G8 EE. HP listed three panels: a UWVA (IPS) touch panel on a 40-pin cable, and UWVA or SVA (TN) non-touch panels on 30-pin cables.
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: L92828-001 (touch), L92827-001 (UWVA non-touch), L92826-001 (SVA non-touch). Battery: GH02XL, spare L75783-005.
Our verdict

Expert rating5.9 / 10
A compact 11.6-inch Chromebook with an A4-9120C processor, an IPS display and a 47.36 Wh battery. At 1.3 kg it slips easily into a school bag, and ChromeOS keeps everyday browsing, Google Workspace and streaming simple.
The 1366 x 768 resolution and 220 nit brightness are modest, so it works best indoors for basic tasks. Memory is soldered and the chip is from 2020, which means heavy tab loads and demanding web apps will feel slow.
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
- Multitasking heavier than a few browser tabs on a 2-core A4-9120C
