HP - 14" Chromebook - Intel Celeron N4500 2021 - 4GB Memory - 64GB eMMC - Modern Grey

This Chromebook was purchased during a Christmas in July sale for $159. For the price, it is an excellent laptop. Pros: 1) Price. Not often do you find a new, reputable brand laptop in that price range with these features. 2) It was ready to use right out of the box, and little effort was needed to further customize it. 3) Built in tutorials were great when customizing it. Simple to use, and any info needed or questions I had were easy to find. 4) Having it jive with everything Google was a bonus. It made switching programs from my previous work laptop over to the new Chromebook an incredibly easy task. 5) Battery lasts a long time and charges fast. 6) Not a big fan of the plastic feel, but it is durable and lightweight. Cons: 1) The HP Assistant Support goes in circles, asking me to install it when it’s already installed. No biggie since I haven’t had a need for it. Anything I would need from that feature I can find elsewhere on the Chromebook. 2) Some apps on the laptop are already outdated. Understandably, this is a 2025 model, but I would still expect every app to be usable. However, any apps that I wanted that were updated, I was able to find alternative apps that had everything I needed. 3) The letters/numbers/symbols on the keyboard are very, very light and too close to the color of the keys making it hard to see them even in broad day light. This makes it miserable to find certain symbols on the keys. All in all, given the price, this is an excellent laptop, and I would purchase it again if I needed a replacement.

Great performance, light so easy to carry around. Battery life is great as well. Fast Downloads

The Chromebook 14” with Intel Celeron N4500 is a good laptop for basic everyday tasks. It works well for browsing the internet, watching videos, doing schoolwork, and using Google apps. It is lightweight and easy to carry around. The performance is not the fastest for heavy programs or gaming, but overall, it is a good affordable option for students and simple everyday use.

I recently purchased this laptop, and I couldn’t be happier with it. The performance is incredibly fast, the display is crystal clear, and the battery life easily lasts throughout the day. Whether I’m working, browsing, or streaming, everything runs smoothly without any issues. It’s well-built, reliable, and exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend this laptop to anyone looking for a powerful and dependable device.

Purchased this machine for graduate school and the summer. I needed a machine for traveling but keeping up with my coursework. It was easy to set-up, Google Suite of products works wonders - both for school and personal use. Would recommend for a school computer. Have not done much outside word processing and internet research. It works well for me! Machine is the perfect color with a mirror like logo on top.
