Our take on the C696 Chromebook

The HP C696 is an 11.6-inch Chromebook with a 1366 x 768 matte display, an Intel Celeron N3060 dual-core processor, 4GB of DDR3 memory and a 16GB flash drive. It runs Chrome OS and is built for light web work: browsing, email, docs and video. HP rates the 43.7Wh battery at up to 11.5 hours, with a listed run time of up to 12.75 hours. This is a refurbished unit sold through Walmart's Restored program, so condition and battery health vary by seller.
