Which is better for a student on a budget?

The HP Chromebook 11 G8 EE. At $93.06 at Walmart as of November 8, 2026 it costs less than half the 14a-ne1013dx, and its 13.5-hour battery rating covers a full school day.

Is the 14-inch screen worth the extra money?

If you write papers or watch video, yes. The 14a-ne1013dx gives you a 14-inch anti-glare panel and 64GB of storage, but the 1366 x 768 resolution and 250 nits are still basic.

Which has better battery life?

The HP Chromebook 11 G8 EE, rated up to 13 hours 30 minutes. The 14a-ne1013dx is rated 10 hours with a 47 Wh battery.

The 11 G8 EE's Celeron N4120 has 4 cores versus 2 on the 14a-ne1013dx's N4500. Neither is fast; both suit web browsing, docs and video, not heavy apps.

The 11 G8 EE has two USB-C 3.1 ports for charging and displays. The 14a-ne1013dx lists only two USB-A 3.0 ports, so check for an adapter if you need USB-C.

The 11 G8 EE is built for education use and has a higher battery rating. The 14a-ne1013dx has more storage, which matters more for longevity than the chassis on either.
