Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

First impressions out the box I really loved how the device looked. A few days into having it I started noticing problems with the item. Screen unresponsive at times. Green line under certain videos playing. Then after 3 days of having it I looked in the settings and it showed battery capacity was at 96% after having it just 3 days. Battery drained very fast. Device was defected so I ended up returning and going with a different tablet. If you’re going to buy this device get it on sale not at retail price. It’s not worth it and it won’t last.

Not easy to write with stylus as the screen often detects your hand instead. The stylus also just quit charging so it no longer works.

So far this has been an excellent purchase for me. This is a quality and capable tablet IF you can keep in mind what it is, and what it is not. Typing this review on my HP X2 11" tablet, I do realize that this keyboard is a bit cramped. Coming from and iPad Pro 11, that I still own and use, the keyboard that I use on that other device is much better for typing. I'm sure that I will get used to though, I hope. I purchasred this Chromebook tablet to use at work. It is light weight and has a very quality feel to it. It came with everything I needed with the exception of a glass screen protector which I will be adding asap. Somewhere down the line I will probably also add a micro SD card to expand the storage a little but I am not planning on saving a ton of data, pictures or apps on this device. This was purchased to be an online-only, cloud based device for me. My use for this tablet will be primarily using MS Office 365 and sharing and editing pics and work documents through One Drive. So far I have been very happy with the performance of this device on our work network as well as my home network. Setting it up was a breeze and only took me about 5 to 10 minutes. Nice! I am getting used to using the included USI stylus pen and I love how it magnetically attaches to the side of the device and charges itself while attached. No batteries to deal with and it has a place for storage by default. The magnets are very strong and it seems quite secure while attached to the tablet. The keyboard also attaches magnetically and is very strong as well. Trackpad feels very nice and works great. This is a springboard type of trak pad with more travel at the bottom than the top but still feels pretty good. The screen is clear and bright and plenty nice to watch with a 1440p resolution and 400nits of brightness. Touch capability works well and for what I would consider a medium-sized device it does a great job! Overall I am thrilled with this device and I think it is absolutely worth it for the sale price of $349 right now. At the normal $599, I am not sure though. At that point we are getting into Surface and iPad territory and then you have to evaluate what your needs truly are. I also use an Android phone and the Chromebook syncs up seamlessly with my phone, another plus. Time will tell but I highly recommend the HP X2 11 Chromebook tablet. Remember, it's a Chomebook and not a full fledged laptop nor is it an iPad. It does blur the lines between them all though.

I wanted to wait to write a review after using this device. But I didn't get that chance. I actually purchased for school in December. I powered it on and it seem to work fine so I put it away. I start class today and it will not power on. I'm outside of the return date by 9 days so there's nothing that Best buy can do for me. Worst purchase ever. Do not buy! Just a month and a half old.

This is the best detachable chromebook period. Build: premium aluminum, light, with modern design of thin bezels. Keyboard cover is has a nice feel to it. About as good as the Surface non-Alcantara cover. Display: 1440p not as good as the tab s7 but a competitive 2nd. Nice color and gets bright. Performance: decent, moves around the web and can handle android games without issue. ChromeOS: a good combination of easy to use and lightweight OS, Better at touch then Windows, and better at productivity then IOS Keyboard: decent, cramped but workable. Slightly spongy. Trackpad: good with plenty of room Battery life: very good no problem lasting all day, 10 hours no problem. Value: Keyboard, pen included, with a fingerprint scanner, premium build and design. $499 seems to be a better price that would put this in the next level, but $599 fits with some of the current competition. Better than: All chromebook detachables. Surface go. Others to consider: Tab s7, Ipad Air, Lenovo p11 pro. *Short version: buy it.

Overall it is a nice Chromebook. The size is what I wanted. It is light and very mobile. The hinge of the back kickstand sticks out and so it just wobbles when placed on that side. Not a deal breaker, but really annoying. In the same area, the back camera protrudes from the back of the device, so not putting the back cover/kickstand is a no go for me. The keyboard is a little thin, so if you rest your hands on it then you get phantom clicks on the trackpad. Due to the size of the device, the keyboard is small and takes time to get used to. I'm also pretty frustrated that the keyboard can't be folded all the way back on itself. The only way to get to tablet mode is to remove the keyboard. Which is a problem when I'm in a meeting and want to take notes with the stylus (which I really enjoy and is a highlight for me), I have to take the keyboard off and then I'm just worried I'm going to lose/forget about the keyboard. Battery life is ok. Probably only getting 6-7 hours of actual use per charge. Though charges all the way up in about 45 minutes or so.

ChromeOS has come a long way over the years from something that is mostly a vehicle to the Chrome browser and the internet to a device that is a full productivity and entertainment machine - or can be at least. Devices like this are a great example of that - this is a well-built, quality device that performs very well for it’s form factor. Think of it as the Microsoft Surface (or, maybe, the Surface Go, given the size) of the ChromeOS world. The slim bezels, soft to the touch materials and metal / glass construction eco recent high end smartphones (and other high end tablets…), while the Snapdragon CPU has enough pep for most productivity tasks when paired with the 8GB of RAM. You won’t be playing high-end games or compiling a massive application, but you can run Chome apps, Android apps and Linux applications with reasonable performance and good battery life. The ability to add a microSD card greatly expands the storage and is very useful and you can connect external peripherals / displays to the 2 USB-C ports (which also provide for charging). The keyboard is nice to type on and the magnetic back cover has a kickstand for usage as a laptop. Both the front keyboard cover and the rear kickstand can separately detach if you want to leave them behind or if you’re using it as a tablet. So with all this good, why only 3 stars? Well, a few things. First, Android isn’t really (some Samsung products aside) a “tablet first” OS, so most of the apps you’ll download are meant for phones. Microsoft office android apps aren’t even supported officially on ChromeOS devices anymore. Second, while the keyboard is nice, at this price point, I would expect it to be backlit as many other devices have. Third, the specs online indicated the device has a headphone jack - it does not, requiring either an USB-C to headphone dongle (not included) or Bluetooth headphones. Finally, while performance is generally adequate, there are times when the Snapdragon can get overwhelmed and chug a bit - and having an ARM chip (vs x86) limits some of the Linux applications you can use. These aren’t fatal flaws, so if you know going in what you’re getting, you could live with it - it’s just that at full price, there are other options that are either faster, have bigger screens, have more ports or all of the above. On sale? Maybe that’s a different story.

Very happy with this so far. Have been using it for about a week now. The screen is very nice and bright. Indoors I can set the brightness at around 50-60%, and it's plenty bright. Really like the 3x2 screen size ratio. Battery life is fantastic. Appreciate that it has 2 USB-C ports and a microSD slot. The keyboard is very usable and not cramped like on the Lenovo Duet Chromebook that I also own. Definitely seems more premium than it, although I really do like the Duet also. I got this on sale for $399, which was a great deal. Would definitely not have paid the full $599 suggested retail price, even though it is very nice. Have not really used the stylus, and still trying to figure out how to get the fingerprint reader to work for logging in, although that's not necessarily that big of a deal. Speakers aren't super loud, but are certainly adequate. Overall I'm just very pleased with my purchase.

As a chrome tablet, especially for entertainment, this is great. The device feels extremely well built, is a great size for a tablet, and the screen is sharp and bright. The included stylus and keyboard feel high quality too. The fingerprint sensor is an awesome addition. Speakers aren't anything amazing, but good enough for my needs. If you already use chromeOS, you should be aware of the benefits and negatives. Updates and Google integration is seamless. You have access to android apps, but it's definitely not going to be as seamless as an iPad. Battery life looks to be around 8-10 hours for me. I used it at the airport, on WiFi and watching videos for 2 hours before my flight, 4 hours on my flight, and about an hour after landing, with it still having some battery life to use later that night. The main reason it's not 5 stars is because it's a little bit jittery when showing some animations (the overview is the prime culprit), and I've had a glitch or two with the on-screen keyboard. So it's not perfect, but it's a very good device, especially at $400. For my needs, which is as a secondary travel device, this works perfectly. It lasts long enough for long domestic flights, it syncs with Google and my Pixel, it has a great looking screen, and it can function as a laptop in a pinch. I recommend it

So far I like it. It's smaller than I expected but I have had the same laptop since 2013 so things have definitely changed. Light weight, super fast and I love the touch screen. It's great for personal use especially since I travel often. The battery life is great as well. If you're someone on the go, this is perfect for you. Awesome laptop for the price!

This was the first Chromebook Tablet we purchased as a potential alternative to a laptop and it did not disappoint! Both my wife and I use it regularly for general tasks including utilizing it for our Pre-K related educational activities/programs for our young one. Not to mention the fact that it is lightweight and easy to carry. Overall, if you need a device for non-technical, relatively simple daily tasks, it's definitely a great alternative to laptop.

Got it for the sale price of $380 Works great for what it is (and what's included) at this price point. One thing I noticed is that the product description lists a headphone jack, and looking around the device there is none. No biggie, there are 2 USB-C ports so a dongle will suffice. The keyboard is good, and the pen is responsive enough with little to no input lag as far as I can see (this is based on not having used a pen on any other device before). The fingerprint scanner works great, unlocks first try every time. Personally, I wish the screen got dimmer but otherwise looks great, the high resolution is nice. I'm planning on using this as a device to tote to and from school primarily & for media consumption. Haven't used it enough to describe battery life in a good way, it idles well, maybe losing 5% overnight at most. The speakers are okay, there's no bass to them as other reviews have stated & they aren't very loud - but not quiet (if that makes sense). At max volume, they will be too loud for casual consumption near the device but not overbearingly loud where you feel like you HAVE to turn it down. It's pretty light alone, the magnets in the case components definitely add some heft to the device but it's not that heavy overall.

Purchase Context -I've been away from laptops in general for more than a few years, previously having used a Microsoft Surface tablet with a detachable keyboard. -I had recently purchased a budget-friendly convertible Chromebook with 4 gigabytes of RAM and a Pentium processor, but returned it (thank you Best Buy for making the return painless) to look for something that might provide a smoother Chrome OS experience in a more lightweight package. First Impression of the X2 11" -HP put some effort into the packaging. Is it silly to be impressed by this? Perhaps, but when I went to Best Buy to pickup my online order, I just remember thinking, "Dang, you didn't have to do all this, HP." The Magnets -The magnets for the detachable keyboard, kickstand, and included USI stylus are strong, very reminiscent of the Microsoft Surface tablet experience. -Like Surface devices, you do have the additional option of raising up the keyboard by magnetically attaching the flap to the bottom bezel of the tablet, which will give the keyboard deck a bit of an angle, should you want that. -The kickstand feels sturdy. There's definitely a healthy bit of resistance when going through the angles. -The stylus is full size, by which I mean it's the same size as a common ballpoint pen. The stylus only attaches to the tablet along a single flat edge. Otherwise, the rest of it is rounded. As a happy surprise, HP includes two replacement tips to complement the one already installed. Be careful, though. The extra tips sit freely in the stylus box. After taking out the stylus, I felt something graze my leg; it took me a second to realize that something important had just fallen out of the box. Auto Update Expiration (AUE) -Exploring through settings, this particular HP X2 11" will continue receiving updates until/through June 2029. -To clear up any confusion concerning the AUE, HP does have another detachable X2 Chromebook that was released a few years ago. If you go to the Google support page, the AUE list has an HP Chromebook X2 slated to receive updates until June 2024. Presumably, that 2024 date is for the previous version of the X2. General Build Quality -Everything feels solid right out of the box. -The volume rocker and power button have a soft click and a bit of travel. You can definitely feel the mechanical action, but the buttons lean somewhat toward a softer experience. -The keyboard deck is firm and key travel is exceedingly normal, in my opinion. If you've tried out the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook 2 on display at Best Buy (or Apple's infamous butterfly switches), just know the key travel is a healthy bit more than both. There is, of course, some flex; it is a detachable. Is the give too much or entirely reasonable? That's up to each individual user. -The trackpad has a mechanical click that responds evenly across all four quadrants. As I've learned with other laptops, this even mechanical trackpad experience is not a given. The Speakers -Forward facing and incorporated into the bezel. -When the device is in landscape orientation (i.e. using the kickstand or in full laptop mode), the speakers are positioned in the top quarter of the left and right bezels. -They're tablet speakers; they're fine. Could they be better? Of course. Quirks and Observations -This might already be obvious from the marketing and spec sheet, but there is no 3.5mm headphone jack. It bears repeating. Bluetooth 5.0, though. -The X2 11" has HP's redesigned logo. However, with the kickstand in place, the only bit of visible branding is the "Bang & Olufsen" stamp below the volume rocker. That made me laugh a little bit. -No stickers on the actual device, no stickers anywhere. The sticker on the box, though, notes the screen brightness as up to 400 nits. -There's no active cooling; there are no fans. This might be obvious to some, given the Snapdragon processor, but I always wonder. -There is a camera bump on the rear, but the kickstand takes care of it nicely. -The front facing camera has an indicator light, just to remind you that it's active. The light does turn off when you switch to the rear camera. -This might be a very particular gauge (and not a very enlightening one), but I did play some of Nigh School Studio's Oxenfree after setting everything up, and the game ran perfectly fine. Final Thoughts One day, the keyboard will break, the kickstand will wear out, and (let's face it) I'll lose the stylus. It'll become a Netflix machine sitting on a coffee table, the battery draining far faster than it used to. Hopefully, I'll do something worthwhile with it before all that happens.

Coming from the HP X2 chromebook, I was excited about this model because I really liked the previous version. I really want to give this chromebook 5 stars, but there are some drawbacks that kept me from doing so. Overall it is a convenient, extremely portable "do most of it all" machine that can almost be a daily driver for the average user, but is probably more suited as a travel/commuting companion. Pros: Battery life is pretty decent. I haven't timed it, but I put this Chromebook to work streaming music and working on documents and it will last me about 6-7 hours (over the course of two days, not all in one session). I am a teacher, so my use case is mostly browsing online and using Google suite for presentations and lesson plans. As an android user, this Chromebook serves as an extension of my phone. I receive and respond to most notifications I get on my mobile device straight from this Chromebook. I do occasionally stream content, but not daily. The small form factor appealed to me. I have bigger than average hands, so typing on the small keyboard was a compromise I was willing to make. I love that the pen attaches magnetically to the side and charges. This solution is much better and the magnet is very strong. The design of this detachable is well thought out. The back plate that doubles as a stand is sturdy. When in tablet mode, it is just the right size, though I didn't mind the size of my X2 which was a little bigger at 12 inches. Cons; Cramped keyboard. I make do with the keyboard as I do not have to type out anything lengthy on it. It is a bit flimsy and not the easiest to use on your lap, but its possible. The processor isn't the snappiest. I often experience quirky hiccups here and there. Sometimes when trying to wake up the device, it'll have to go through a full reboot to turn on. It won't respond unless I hold down the power button for about 20 seconds. The plus is that it will restore all of my tabs just as they were. Switching between tabs isn't always the smoothest as there will be lag from time to time. Full disclosure, I keep a lot of tabs open, like a lot, so your experience may vary. The speakers aren't great. They are very tinny, but still good enough for background music while you are working. Don't expect to get lost in the music or anything. Getting this device at the right price is crucial. I got it on sale around $299, plus had some rewards that brought the price down even lower. At $300 or less, I think this device is a strong deal.

At the time of purchase this is one of the best Chrome Tablets available. It's reasonably fast enough, though the CPU doesn't benchmark as well as some of Qualcomm's 8xx series chips. Screen quality is great, battery life is great and the keyboard is comfortable to type on. Build quality is excellent. It really feels like a premium device. If there's one complaint is that the audio quality is poor, completely lacking in bass. It's OK for some YouTube videos but forget listening to music and movies would likely be a little disappointing. But, you can always pair up some Bluetooth headphones and avoid that issue. Webcam quality is good enough for video calls. It's supported through June 2029 so the battery will probably burn out before support ends so that's great. I definitely recommend this tablet.
