That certainly didn't take long. I just reported HP partnered up with Israel’s Altair 4G chip manufacturing company in order to bring Verizon 4G LTE support to its laptops.

And now it appears the new models have already arrived in store locations, more specifically at Best Buy and are available for purchase for $379 / €278 a pop.

Apart from the LTE functionality, the specifications for the new Chromebook remain unchanged, as they are based on the HP Chromebook 11 prototype. So we have the same 11-inch IPS screen with a 1366 x 768 pixels and power comes from an ARM Cortex-A15 dual-core processor coupled with 2GB of RAM and backed up by 16GB of storage.

Now let’s talk specifics, if you add the Chromebook to your Verizon 4G data plan for $10 / €7 per month, you’ll be benefiting from a $50 / €37 rebate that brings the price for $329 / €241. So what do you think of HP's latest offering?
