HP and Google order 'pause' in Chromebook 11 sales after reports of chargers overheating

[Youbetternot]

Finally there is a complain about HP, like seriously HP makes some pretty damn hot laptops. I am setting here with a old envy 4 that served me well in gaming, but boy does it get hot like 90 degrees hot and then it shutsdown when I am in a game *The Rage*. I think they should be called Heat Package (HP). Anyways Best Buy is no longer going to sell the HP chromebook 11 because of so many complains about overheating and the laptop getting hot. 

 

 

Best Buy has ordered its employees to remove HP’s Chromebook 11 from stores. Sources at the retail chain first revealed to The Verge earlier today that urgent instructions had been sent to store managers to remove existing stock of the devices. "Stores should stop selling the HP Chromebook 11 effective immediately," reads an internal memo to Best Buy managers. "Partner with Sales Support to pull the product off the sales floor to a secure location in the warehouse." Now HP has confirmed to The Verge that the company and Google initiated the halt in sales for the following reason: complaints from some Chromebook 11 owners that the chargers included with the notebooks were overheating. HP also advises current Chromebook 11 owners not to continue using their charges. As an HP spokesperson told The Verge:

 

Google and HP are pausing sales of the HP Chromebook 11 after receiving a small number of user reports that some chargers included with the device have been damaged due to over-heating during use. We are working with the Consumer Product Safety Commission to identify the appropriate corrective action, and will provide additional information and instructions as soon as we can.

In the meantime, customers who have purchased an HP Chromebook 11 should not use the original charger provided with the product. In the interim they may continue using their HP Chromebook 11 with any other Underwriters Laboratories-listed micro-USB charger, for example one provided with a tablet or smartphone. We apologize for the inconvenience.
