Best Buy’s official eBay storefront is now offering the all-new HP 11-inch Chromebook x2 for $349 shipped. Also matched direct. Having just launched last month with a $699 price tag, today’s $250 discount beats our previous mention by $50 while marking a new all-time low. This is only the second notable price cut, too. HP’s latest 11-inch Chromebook x2 also happens to be one of its most unique releases yet. Delivering a detachable keyboard with built-in trackpad that magnetically snaps to the device, you’re looking at an 11-inch 2K display that pairs with an included stylus. Around back, there’s a unique rear kickstand that allows for positioning the Chromebook x2 in various angles. This model arrives with 64GB of storage alongside 8GB of RAM, as well as two USB-C ports.
