HP Chromebook 14

Best Buy had a sale for an HP X360 Chromebook 14-C for $379.99 (down from $629), so I picked it up. To be honest, I wasn't expecting much since I am just so used to Windows. First off, the battery is amazing. I was watching videos for about 3 hours straight, and the battery only got down to around 65%.

The Chromebook 14's battery lasts longer for light productivity, but the Pixelbook Go lasts longer for video playback. The HP Chromebook 14 (2021) and the HP Chromebook x360 12 (2021) are both Chrome OS laptops, but the x360 is a 2-in-1 with a 360-degree hinge, whereas the Chromebook 14 has a traditional clamshell hinge. The Chromebook 14 is better for school use, with well-spaced keyboard keys that don't cause fatigue when typing, a larger, better-tracking touchpad, and a significantly longer-lasting battery

I had the opportunity to use a _1200 dollar_ HP Chromebook, geared towards business. l o l. One of the worst pieces of shit I have ever used, considering the price. Trackpad was totally awful, the touch screen had the world's worst coating on it that washed it out, and the build quality felt bad. If someone would buy this over a (for example) base M1 MacBook Air for 200 dollars LESS, that person is smoking crack.

The Chromebook 14 has a better keyboard and touchpad, and its battery life is significantly longer. Although the Stream 11 uses a newer version of the Celeron CPU in the Chromebook 14, the latter feels faster and more responsive overall because Chrome OS is a lighter operating system with fewer processes running in the background.

Still, the HP is good enough to handle the needs of students and the demands of casual internet users on tight budgets. .The HP Chromebook x360 14a is a value-priced convertible kept from greatness by a dim display, poor speakers, and inconsistent trackpad

The HP Chromebook 14 G5 is a no-frills laptop that powers through simple tasks.
