Edited 5:06pm 11/21/2013: The HP Chromebook 11 has now been updated to version 31.0.1650.62 (platform version: 4731.75.0).

Systems will be receiving updates over the next several days.

Some highlights of these changes are:
  • You can now put the Shelf on the bottom, left, and right side
  • The launcher icon, app icons and status tray got an overhaul to improve touchability
  • We moved the launcher icon to the bottom left so it keeps a constant position
  • Your profile picture preference is now synced if you use a Chrome OS avatar or Google+ profile picture
  • We redesigned the look and feel of the help experience to make it visually rich and interactive
  • Enabled initial support for USB-based Braille displays
  • Updated design for Feedback page
  • Translate related settings have been integrated into the languages options
