People that took advantage of the HP Chromebook 11's charger recall are now receiving its replacement. As we noted previously, the design is very different. For some reason, the charger is smaller than the original even though the issue was the handling of heat generated. According to Android Central, the cable is about six feet long and the USB cable is built into the brick itself. This means that Google really does not want users using other cables with the Chromebook 11.

Google threw in two extra goodies worth taking a look at. First is a note from the The Chromebook Team that apologizes for the matter. The second is a $25, yes twenty-five dollars, gift card for the Google Play Store. Not a bad way to say sorry, right? If you still have the original charger, feel free to send it back.
