Google Pixelbook Go vs HP Chromebook x360 12b

I really want to like this for how long the battery lasts and for how much it still can almost do. But almost isn't good enough.

The HP x360 Chromebook has a poorly performing eMMC storage drive overall. Its read speeds are comparatively faster than its write speeds, so it feels faster when booting and launching apps than when installing them and transferring files. However, thanks to the lightweight nature of Chrome OS, the laptop still feels smooth overall. Capacity 40 Wh

I wish the computer had streaming capabilities, basic ones, because for the same price I could've bought an HP and would've been able to do all the same plus stream gameplay. I didn't have any issues leaving it on alone and coming back to work on it an hour after. Again, for the price and for what it offers, it is expensive, perhaps $200 too expensive. Although I experienced a wonderful work computer, I didn't find it worth keeping because it was just too expensive

The cheapest one (which I have) has a Celeron N4000 and appears to be priced at USD 350 in the HP store (a little outside your price limit). It seems to have auto-updates till 2026 according to the site (code name is "octopus"). It also supports a USI stylus which may or may not be included in the above price. (HP seems to have dropped this of late, so please check before buying!)

The ultimate reason to get the Pixelbook Go is because it's so lightweight. The PxlGo weighs about the same as an iPad with the keyboard attachment (the light one not the magic keyboard).

too heavy, even in notebook orientation. The weight also made it awkward to just throw in my travel bag like the iPad.. However, the capabilities have removed any desire to go back to the iPad as my casual device
