'ZDNET Recommends': What exactly does it mean?
ZDNET's recommendations are based on many hours of testing, research, and comparison shopping. We gather data from the best available sources, including vendor and retailer listings as well as other relevant and independent reviews sites. And we pore over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the products and services we’re assessing.
When you click through from our site to a retailer and buy a product or service, we may earn affiliate commissions. This helps support our work, but does not affect what we cover or how, and it does not affect the price you pay. Neither ZDNET nor the author are compensated for these independent reviews. Indeed, we follow strict guidelines that ensure our editorial content is never influenced by advertisers.
ZDNET's editorial team writes on behalf of you, our reader. Our goal is to deliver the most accurate information and the most knowledgeable advice possible in order to help you make smarter buying decisions on tech gear and a wide array of products and services. Our editors thoroughly review and fact-check every article to ensure that our content meets the highest standards. If we have made an error or published misleading information, we will correct or clarify the article. If you see inaccuracies in our content, please report the mistake via this form.

Budget-conscious workers who travel frequently, including digital nomads and more, are well aware of how important it is to get the lightest laptop possible. But they are also familiar with how much more it costs to pack powerful features into a tiny footprint. The sweet spot is a Windows laptop weighing under 3 lbs with at least 8GB RAM and 128GB SSD storage. Even if you have lots of large graphics, videos, or music files, you don't have to spring for a more expensive computer, because a tiny external 2TB SSD is only $30.
But the dilemma is that even a laptop with these specs can cost several hundred dollars, and theft or damage is much more common when traveling. Fortunately, until May 31, you can get a refurbished HP x360 33 G1 EE 11.6" ProBook with exactly those specifications plus a fast Intel Pentium N4200 dual-core processor for just $239 during our Memorial Day Sale, no coupon necessary. Its grade "A" refurbished rating means it is in near-mint condition, with zero to very minimal amounts of scuffing on its case.
So you'll get all the great specs on this 2013 unit without having to pay hundreds more for a new one that may not even have as many as this one does. Because it really has all the connectivity you can ask for, as well. In addition to WiFi and Bluetooth, you get HDMI, Ethernet, and VGA ports, which aren't always found in laptops this small and light. There is also a headphone jack, one USB-C port, and two USB 3.0 ports.
The HP x360 33 G1 EE is a featherweight at just 2.98 lbs and it comes with Windows 10 Pro (64-bit) already installed. The RAM, storage, and processor combo offers smooth, fast performance to optimize your work for the greatest productivity. While the 11.6" Full HD Touchscreen display has a resolution of 1366x768 pixels. It works with Intel HD graphics to bring clear precise colors and details to all of your content for the ultimate user experience.
