Donna,
You are right, the 14 inch Pavillion HP I got does not have the 3G. I have had it for about a month, and this is the first time I realized not having 3G could be an issue. So for me who travels very little, it is not an issue.
For only 50 dollars more, I may consider it though when I get another one.
The 14 inch screen, solid state drive with quick upstart/downstop, and great remote desktop function are the big selling points for me. It works great at office and surfing the net at home, and watching Netflix up at grandma and grandpas.
Jim,
One of the option is using your 4G/LTE phone to provide network bridging to your Chromebook. When I am on the road and need connectivity, I have been known to drive to where I am getting decent signal [top of an off-ramp] and connect via my phone. Two cautions; you need to have your phone plugged in because using it as a data modem eats battery, and that sucker is going to get HOT if you need to stay on for a while. But it works.
