My old laptop was very bad. I needed a new laptop to fit my needs and not stand out so I could use it in class. This chromebook is the perfect size, you CAN use the laptop on your lap (works great), and the magnets are really cool. The chromebook is not heavy. It is a touchscreen, with a fingerprint sensor on the top as a power button also. The stylus works great, although when drawing, sometimes you have to tap it a couple times for it to press a button. It is fast, and has my old pictures from old phones (google account). It also connects to wifi my old laptop wouldn't connect to before. I would recommend.

Not bad for my first ChromeBook. The OS learning curve was minor and I would recommend this when on sale, which it regularly is. Pros: * Detachable keyboard allows it to be a laptop or tablet * 8GB of RAM makes it run smoothly * Battery seems to be able to make it to at least 10 hours of use * Chrome OS will be updated for many more years * Fairly slim bezels Cons: * No backlit keyboard * The backcover is held on magnetically and makes the tablet heavy * The keyboard/mouse does not work properly unless on a flat surface (so don't use it on your lap) * Sometimes the on-screen keyboard will not pop up and I have to reboot to get it back So-So * The screen is nice but I miss the deep blacks and more vibrant colors of an OLED * The battery is long lasting but I have noticed that it drains when off at a rate higher than my other computers & tablets * Chrome OS is easy to use but a bit different from Windows & Android, like 2 finger scrolling going in the opposite direction * Not all apps are compatible and some look weird

I love the HP tablet. It has a bright 3:2 aspect screen and a wonderful build, and I got mine for under $400. I wish it had a mic jack but otherwise it's amazing.

Best price I've seen and the quality is amazing. Although the pen doesn't work, but the pen alone has bad quality.

HP got so many things right on this Chromebook. The size is PERFECT for what I was looking for. I've now owned 4 detachable chrome tablets and the #1 thing this model does better than the others is MAGNETS. Options like the pixel slate or Lenovo duet do not feel very solid on my lap or when closed and carrying them around due to the lack of magnets fixing the keyboard to the tablet. The screen is great size and quality, though I would definitely pay for a premium model that's OLED and/or high refresh rate (if the performance was good enough to deliver high framerate animations, but I'll get to that later). I personally think fingerprint readers are a better fit for phones while face unlock is better for laptops and tablets but this is just a nitpick and I'm super glad there's any sort of biometric unlock. The speakers are stereo but pretty weak and honestly one of the main downsides. I love that the stylus is included in the box and the magnets securely attach it to the side and also charge it (great idea Apple). Other chromebooks with a fabric loop or even nothing to hold the pen at all are wayyyy worse in this regard. The keyboard and trackpad are a step up from the duet but a step down from the slate - pretty decent, but I would like a little more rigidity to the keyboard to prevent accidental trackpad clicks when it flexes a bit. Battery is good and it charges quickly. On that note, I'm glad that it has 2x USB-C ports but I wish one was on each side. The biggest downside to this device is unfortunately performance. It's not awful, but it's not great either. It gets the job done for casual web browsing and what not, but loading times and general responsiveness of animations is lackluster. I especially hoped that being an ARM processor that android apps would run better than on my slate but yeah it's not amazing. I do believe that ARM is the right direction for chromebooks, especially seeing what Apple has been able to do with the M1. My slate got pretty warm when I was using it a bunch and that's a non-issue here and this obviously doesn't need a fan to keep cool. I just hope we see a follow up device in a similar form factor with a snappier CPU. I bought this for $350 and for that price point I can't complain too much about the speed. If a sequel to this chromebook came out that addressed my biggest complaints and maybe some of my nitpicks, I would easily pay $800 for it because I love the form factor so much. Either way if you're interested in a tablet that's a manageable size while also having a decent experience with a keyboard I would still recommend giving this a look when it's on sale.
