HP Chromebook X2 11

I recently got the HP Chromebook X2 11 and I'm a little disappointed by its performance from the Snapdragon 7c. Does anyone know why Chromebook manufacturers don't use Snapdragon chips like the 865 and 855 in their Chromebooks. I know that we have the Snapdragon 7c and some Chromebooks but it's a much slower processor.

In fact, I’d go as far as saying you shouldn’t buy the HP at all at its regular price of $600. If you see it heavily discounted — this fall, it’s dropped to as low as $350 — that’s a different conversation, but at its regular price, it’s a very poor value

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 SD card slot is welcome, but very awkward to be in a SIM card tray - so there's no easy way to insert and detach the card without searching for the SIM eject pin. Since it's so difficult to remove, I hope that Google's excuse of not allowing Android apps to install to it will be moot for this model? I doubt it, but I can dream. Unlike the Duet, the X2 11 can actually display out to 1080p - you know, the standard monitor resolution for over a decade.

I just got my HP X2 11 at Best Buy. Unfortunately the keyboard doesn't work so I'll have to deal with that in the morning. Otherwise it's a very nice device. Compared to my duet the screen is obviously nicer just because it's bigger and has a 3 to 2 ratio.

This was my first purchase of a Chromebook at $400++ (including shipping outside of US) and I wonder if the demographics for Chromebook users is so different from the mainstream OS device users that impacts the types of opinions and reviews it gets?. I think the HP x2 11 is fantastic. The keyboard feels better than the Surface Pro (4), and is built like a premium device whilst priced at retail as a "plus tier" device. The display is fantastic and battery life went from 100% to 80% after 3.5 hours cycling between 3 android apps, one of them an SSH terminal that's constantly connected and chrome browser on 9ish tabs at any time, which is a typical amount for me.

> I recently got the HP Chromebook X2 11 and I'm a little disappointed by its performance from the Snapdragon 7c. literally exactly same for me. I'm actually returning it. it's not *that* bad, but considering it's **CURRENT YEAR** and it costs $4XX, it's not really acceptable IMO.

Another factor in favor of the ChromeOS tablets is the EOL support, i.e. Pixel slate released in 2017 is supported for updated until 2026. I cannot say the same about Android tablets, I previously had a Samsung galaxy tab A 2017 version and it stopped getting updates in 2019. I currently have the HP X2 11 and while I love it and I use it as a laptop/tablet for media consumption, I would have preferred a smaller form factor around 10", if only Google would come out with a successor to a Pixel slate thats around 10" of size then I would switch in a heartbeat.

I have a Duet and I'm selling it to buy the X2 11. Lol. It depends on your basic needs. For me as example I love using in tablet mode but still got college work to do so I'm changing to get a better screen, better sound and better processing in the X2 11.
