HP Chromebook 11 G6 EE

Updated on June 22, 2026

Note: HP no longer sells this 2018 education Chromebook new. Google has set its Auto Update Expiration date to June 2027, so devices still in service continue to receive Chrome OS updates and security patches until then.

The HP Chromebook 11 G6 EE was HP’s education-focused Chromebook released at CES 2018, designed specifically for K-12 classroom environments. Built around Intel’s Celeron N3350 dual-core processor with 4GB of RAM and 16GB eMMC storage, this compact 11.6-inch laptop was tuned for durability and long battery life. The “EE” designation stands for Education Edition, and HP built the machine for daily student use with reinforced corners and a spill-resistant keyboard.

A rugged 11.6-inch shell around entry-level silicon

The HP Chromebook 11 G6 EE arrived while school districts were rapidly adopting Chromebooks for 1:1 student programs. HP aimed it at elementary and middle school students, with reinforced corners meant to survive drops from desk height and a keyboard designed to handle accidental liquid spills. The compact 11.6-inch form factor and sub-3-pound weight made it easy for younger students to carry between classes.

Two cores of Intel’s Celeron N3350 run at a base clock of 1.1 GHz, boosting to 2.4 GHz, for a PassMark score around 1,110. That is entry-level performance, and it covers the classroom work HP had in mind. Web browsing, Google Docs, educational apps, and video streaming run smoothly at reasonable tab counts. Many applications open at once bring slowdowns. The 4GB of RAM is enough for those light workloads and little else.

HP shipped the 11 G6 in 2018 with two USB-C ports that charge from either side of the machine, so a student can plug in wherever the outlet happens to be. Wi-Fi is 802.11ac 2x2 MIMO for school networks, and Bluetooth 4.2 handles wireless peripherals. For situations requiring a wired connection, such as network testing or areas with unreliable Wi-Fi, a USB Ethernet adapter can be connected through the USB-C or USB-A ports. The microSD card slot provides an easy expansion path for the limited 16GB of built-in storage, which fills quickly when downloading educational apps or storing offline content.

A district fleet purchase that also fit family budgets

HP sold this model to educational institutions through its education sales channels. As a popular school Chromebook, it was among the models affected by the viral magnet trick that students discovered could put Chromebooks to sleep using a small magnet near the lid sensor. MIL-STD 810G testing covered the kind of abuse a classroom produces, and the reinforced corners, anchored keyboard keys, and Co-molded rubber trim meant fewer warranty claims from dropped devices.

Individual buyers got a cheap machine for web browsing and document editing, and the small chassis suited young children doing schoolwork at home. The 11-hour rating on the 47.36 Wh battery meant students could leave the charger at home and still get through a school day of mixed usage.

Upgrade if you need Android apps or offline files

The Celeron N3350 runs out of headroom on Android apps, several Google Workspace documents open at once, or a video call alongside other applications. The 16GB of eMMC storage leaves little room for Android apps or offline files; cloud-only use fits.

This Chromebook’s Auto Update Expiration date is June 2027, so devices still in service continue to receive Chrome OS security updates until then. Once that date passes the hardware keeps working but stops getting patches, so owners planning to keep using it well beyond 2027 should move to a current model. The HP Chromebook 11MK G9 EE is a newer education model, with a faster processor, longer update support, and a better display alongside the same durability build.
