I just got mine a few days ago. Probably paid more for it than I should have. Didn't shop around enough. With that being said, this is my first experience with a Chromebook. So far I love it! Screen size could be bigger. I am coming from a 17 inch Windows laptop to a 14 inch Chromebook but I'm adjusting. Also, as Robbie and others have mentioned, HP dropped the ball with screen brightness. It's not the worst in the world but could be a ton better. Speed and responsiveness is great. Everything is snappy and loads much quicker than my Windows laptop. This one has the fingerprint scanner but unless I am doing something wrong, I can't login from startup using fingerprint. I can only unlock it when its simply locked and and completely turned off. Keyboard and track pad are great and I am totally loving the back-lit keyboard.

I bought the Core i3 version of this two months ago (£499 from John Lewis) and I'm very happy with it. What I like: the really great backlit keyboard and smooth trackpad, nice upward firing speakers, useful fingerprint scanner (to log back in from sleep mode without typing my password). What I don't like (being picky!): The physical volume buttons on the left side are pointless when you can just use the keyboard buttons that do exactly the same thing. I sometimes hit the 'volume up' key instead of the power button by mistake and it's a nuisance. The weight - it's really heavy so using it as a tablet for even a short time isn't at all comfortable. The fan - it's very noticeable to me, but fortunately it doesn't come on much, or for long. P.S. The screen brightness is fine for me as I only use it indoors, but I do need to keep it at around 80-90% of max brightness. If you're going to use it outside a lot then I would buy something else.

Another great review! I didn't search to see if you have a newer review, but the model reviewed here has now been superseded by the X360 14ct-cc000, which is a significant upgrade for $10 less, MSRP. The newest one has an 11th gen Core i3-1125G4 with 4 cores vs. 2, and 8MB L3 cache vs. 4MB. They must have watched your review, because the new one comes with either a 128GB or 256GB PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD! I've been using the 8th-gen Core i3 version since 12/2018, and it is a pleasure. The build quality is far above Acer, especially the keyboard and trackpad, and it looks brand new after over two years. Today, the fan started buzzing slightly, so I vacuumed the vents and ordered a new fan just in case. When this newest one goes on sale, I'll buy it and hand-me-down the original one.

However I wanted the option of it to flip. I also liked the concept of the Samsung Galaxy Book Flex 2 but I dont like windows coming from a Mac. The salesperson recommended this HP chromebook. It had the flip and the elegance I liked in the pixelbook go plus it was faster than the one I was looking at. The price was even better! So far I am enjoying it.

The picture is totally grainy and both picture and video quality are flat out bad. Under the webcam settings, it says the picture quality is less than 1 megapixel, unbelievable. The video says its 720 but its clearly not. I did research on this device before purchasing and nowhere did reviews mention the front webcam besides saying it was HD. I'm not sure if all devices are like this or if mine is defective. In a time where the webcam is so important to stay connected with others, and education purposes, this wasn't a category to cut back on. Needless to say, I will be returning this item for something different.

Yours isn't defective -- the cam is lousy. The _highest_ resolution is 0.9MP, so everyone's results will be predictably bad.

I purchased this on with a deal from Best Buy after watching the unboxing video. I was concerned after seeing the Acer Spin 713 review so I went to Best Buy and found them displayed side-by-side. The screen on the 713 is certainly brighter but the HP screen looks more 'refined'. I have also read about the Acer screen flickering in some situations. The HP's 16:9 screen is better for email, spreadsheets, and my typical workflow. The build qualify is VERY good (better than the 713). The speakers are great and the screen is plenty bright for my use case. The camera is very good (much better than my Samsung Plus V2) and with the fingerprint sensor I knew I made the right decision--for me. If you are buying a Chromebook for work-from-home or school-from-home I highly recommend it--especially if it is on sale.

It seems to be a universal consensus that 3:2 screen size is better for workflow, not for media consumption. Odd that you think 16:9 is better for email and spreadsheets. I had the HP and Acer side by side at my house. The screen on the Acer is night and day better than the HP. Not only in brightness. Colors are better. Resolution is better, for me workflow 3:2 is better. The room I work in has natural light, not direct sunlight, and the HP never seemed bright enough for me, just as Robbie mentioned. My choice was HP for $399 or Acer for $529, I take the Acer anyday for the extra money. But everyone has certain needs and it seem the HP is very good machine for that price.

Both the HP Chromebook X360 and the Samsung Chromebook Plus V2 offer great features at a similar price point, but key differences may help you decide. The HP Chromebook X360, with its Intel Core m3 or i5 processor, provides smoother performance for multitasking and demanding apps, and has a better keyboard and trackpad for extended use. The Samsung Chromebook Plus V2, on the other hand, is more portable with a lighter, more compact design, and includes a built-in stylus for note-taking and drawing, while offering a slightly better display resolution with vibrant colors. If you prioritize performance and typing comfort, choose the HP Chromebook X360. If you value portability, screen quality, and a stylus, the Samsung Chromebook Plus V2 is the better option.

But its lack of precision is infuriating. I hope there is a software update to help with this because otherwise this is close to perfect. As for price I picked this up at $429, and use a gift card for $100 to effectively bring down the price to $329. And for that price it's awesome.

I do have creakiness at the bottom especially when I click with the trackpad with it on my lap. It feels like there's a gap with the plastic at the bottom that allows just enough room to where you can feel it dip a little. I wasn't doing this on purpose; I noticed it by accident.

yeah, i believe the i3 is better than the m3, m3 was a bridge between the intel atom and i3, so i3 is better, thus making this faster than pixlebook. but the quality of the pixlebook, better than this lol. you choose. personally when this is on sale like for 430 its better value

I have a hp 14 g5 Chromebook. What are your thoughts on it? I've had this since around February and it's working really well for me.
@gabriella52554 жыл бұрын
@@manpreetsingh7749 One of the things that attracted me to getting a Chromebook was that it has really good battery life and built-in antivirus. Chrome OS also won't just randomly highjack your Chromebook with hours of updating-- it prepares the update in the background (you won't even notice it) and when it's done you will get a message to say that when you want the update, you should restart your Chromebook. You also have the choice to follow through with the update, since it tells you what Chrome OS is updating (changing the icons, improving the features and layout, etc.). The only downside is that you can't download programs or software unless it is specifically for a Chromebook. You can, however, download apps from the google play store. I can have soooooo many browsers and apps open but it runs really smoothly without lag. Since many Chromebooks don't have a fan, you also avoid the annoying sound when it kicks up. That reason alone persuaded me to get a Chromebook. Hope I helped ;)

@Aston Dence word of warning though. I’ve been having problems with it. It often doesn’t wake up from sleep when. Open the lid. Very frustrating. I have to force restart it. I have done a hardware reset and a power wash as per support instructions and problem persists. If I could return it for a full refund I would but I’m beyond the 30 day return period. But I’ll try otherwise will have to endure a repair process. Seems this is a common occurrence with chrome books from what I’ve seen in forums.

Man, the laptop market is so stupid. I am looking for a new laptop for school, I spent like a week watching videos and reading articles. The only thing that seemed to be like a quality big Chromebook that was in my price range AND IN STOCK was the HP x360, a Chromebook you highly rated but was also a little older and I was hoping it would be cheaper. I didn't necessarily want a 2 in 1, but it was my only option. Best Buy currently has it on sale for $100 off for students, so I guess it's the winner, even though it was more than I wanted to spend ($529). Lo and behold, this video was just recommended to me, about a month after you published it, after I purchased my new Chrombook, and I just found out that I actually bought the HPx360 14c....cool? I guess that makes me happy? But why do these name changes always have to be so subtle. When did we get away from technology simply being the name plus the model name (i.e. I can't wait to get the Pixel 5).
