While the Dwarves’ quest is fraught with danger, your journey to Erebor is just a click away in “<a href="http://middle-earth.thehobbit.com/">A Journey Through Middle-earth</a>,” the Chrome Experiment <a href="http://chrome.blogspot.com/2013/11/bringing-hobbits-dwarves-and-dragons-to.html">released a few weeks ago</a> from Warner Bros. Pictures, New Line Cinema and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures (MGM). <br /> <br /> You can now follow the Dwarves’ journey to <a href="http://middle-earth.thehobbit.com/erebor">Erebor</a> and try to <a href="http://middle-earth.thehobbit.com/erebor/experience">outsmart Smaug</a> on your desktop, mobile phone or tablet. But it might be wise to first pay a little visit to the folks who live in nearby <a href="http://middle-earth.thehobbit.com/thranduils-hall">Thranduil’s Hall</a> and <a href="http://middle-earth.thehobbit.com/lake-town">Lake-town</a>—locations that recently became accessible in this Chrome Experiment—just in case you need their help against the mighty Dragon. <br /> <div style="text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ8DHdWVw3CJBGiCcs4h7o3Cv0ws6raIqVmsSzidXP5v5BKsW-rqiJ_3OM_VCnr1K3Bdi0Xv89KJ3EkiyzKdiv_7G4VAdXDdTdo0Wbtupxpq3tofgqUxzIDpto2_YP3gcDdkxHJpbGgCMu/s1600/Screen+Shot+2013-12-10+at+10.54.37+AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="260" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ8DHdWVw3CJBGiCcs4h7o3Cv0ws6raIqVmsSzidXP5v5BKsW-rqiJ_3OM_VCnr1K3Bdi0Xv89KJ3EkiyzKdiv_7G4VAdXDdTdo0Wbtupxpq3tofgqUxzIDpto2_YP3gcDdkxHJpbGgCMu/s400/Screen+Shot+2013-12-10+at+10.54.37+AM.png" width="400" /></a> </div> <div style="text-align: center;"> </div> To get ready for your journey you may want to <a href="https://play.google.com/store/search?q=hobbit">stop by Google Play</a>.

So the new Chromebook is really thin with no extra fluff. It weighs in at just over two pounds—one of the lightest laptops on the market. There are also no sharp edges so nothing digs into your wrists while you type. And when you’re traveling, you don’t need to throw an extra charger into your bag. The HP Chromebook 11 is powered by a micro-USB charger, which can also be used to juice up your Android phone or tablet. <br /> <br /> Second, a computer should look good—something you’re proud to take out at a coffee shop. So the new Chromebook has a sleek, distinctive and super simple look. The fanless design means it doesn’t need any grills for venting. And it comes in a variety of colors to match your mood (or your wardrobe). <br /> <br /> And there are a bunch of other things that we hope will make your computing experience even more awesome: <br /> <ul> <li><b>Brilliant display</b>. Often when folks gather around a screen, everyone tries to gently nudge the computer in their own direction so they can see better. No more nudging. The new Chromebook's screen has a 176-degree viewing angles so you can see even when looking at it almost completely sideways. And the super bright display brings all of your favorite photos, shows and videos to life. </li> <li><b>Light but sturdy</b>. We wanted the Chromebook to hold up well against everyday bumps and bruises. So it has a magnesium frame that makes it incredibly sturdy. You can hold it from a single corner without it bending or flexing. </li> <li><b>Finely-tuned speakers</b>. Many computers have speakers on the bottom, which is great if you have ears in your lap. Instead, the speakers on the new Chromebook are under the keyboard, which means the sound is crisp, clear and pointed up towards your ears.</li> <li><b>Goodies built-in</b>. And, of course, many Google apps come built-in, including 100GB of Google Drive cloud storage (free for two years) and a 60-day free trial of Google Play Music All Access.</li> </ul> <br /> This Chromebook is crafted with the same obsessive attention to detail as the Chromebook Pixel. But we worked hard with HP to keep the price low: the new HP Chromebook 11 is available for just $279. <br /> <br /> Look for it starting today at Best Buy, Amazon, Google Play and HP Shopping in the U.S., as well as at Currys, PC World and many other retailers in the U.K. It will be available in other countries that sell Chromebooks in time for the holidays. <br /> <br /> So if you’ve been looking for a computer that makes it easier to get stuff done (and look good doing it), we hope you give the new HP Chromebook 11 a try—or add it to your <a href="//g.co/giveachromebook">gift list</a> this holiday season.
