HP - 11.6" Chromebook - Intel Celeron - 4GB Memory - 32GB eMMC Flash Memory - Ash Gray

Picked this up on sale, great deal for $169. Needed it mainly for long Zoom meetings, also use it for some browsing & streaming. Be warned that it does heat up quite a bit after running for awhile, a little uncomfortable on the lap when it does. I solved this issue with a $20 Aluratek cooling pad from Best Buy, I left a review on that as well (BUY IT, works great and runs quiet). Screen quality could be better, need to look at it straight on for best view. But it's a budget Chromebook so I wasn't expecting to be wowed by the screen. As far as the size of the screen, it works fine for me and it makes it quite portable. Very lightweight. When in Zoom and swiping to where I see all the participants on video as well as myself, quality looks pretty good, I sit about 4 feet away generally and microphone seems to pick up my voice just fine. Chrome software and security updates are supported until June 2024, big plus for me. Comes with Google Perks too when you activate it, I got 3 months free of Disney+, Doom & Doom II free and free 30 day premium subscription to Calm app (there are other Perks as well but those are the ones I went with). Speakers ain't too shabby but again it's a budget Chromebook so don't expect to be wowed but they do the job for me. I love having so many ports, I can have my phone plugged into one USB C port while I use the other one to charge it, can access files on a thumb drive using one of the USB 3.0 ports as well as off of a microSD card, have headphones plugged into 3.5mm jack if I'm not using the Bluetooth while also having the cooling pad plugged into the other USB 3.0 port (which actually has a port on the plug so you don't lose access to it). All of this at the same time! Have to use WiFi as there is no ethernet port but haven't had any issues with it disconnecting, I live in a small apartment though so I'm never far from the router so can't speak on it cutting out in room in a house that's a ways away from the router. Trackpad is a little slow but easily fixed that with adjusting the speed in the settings. Overall, a great purchase if you're looking for something simple. Only major con as I mentioned is that it heats up but the cheap cooling pad fixed that. At regular MSRP of $219 some people may be willing to shell out a little more dough for a better model but when it goes on sale again, don't pass up the deal. Highly recommend.

The laptop itself seems fine but it was all scratched up when I took it out of the box and the plug looks like it was chewed on.

I am a student that was in need of a laptop. The product price was great for me!

This is a Chromebook, not a full-powered Windows machine, so don't expect much memory or the ability to do much more than use Google apps. But because it's a Chromebook, it's immediately ready to go as soon you open it up. It charges quickly and uses little power so that charge lasts a long, long time. I bought it so my son will have his own device for remote learning, but I love it so much I use it all the time myself. It runs Zoom just fine. Because I already use Google Chrome, I was able to quickly set up the computer with my account and use it practically right out of the box. I'm thrilled with this little laptop.

I only use for basic web surfing and google docs. Does what I need it too. Speed is good for the price. If you need this for basic things its a great buy. Just be aware if you have 6-8 browser tabs open it could cause to freeze. Not everytime but sometimes

Just right for our shool's fifth grade requirement. It had to be a Chromebook, which was new to us. There was a little trouble with google profiles, but figured it out. The device seems like it will work well. My daughter loves it. You probably need the wireless mouse to buy separately. You might consider an SD card to supplement the storage. No issues so far.

This Chromebook is small but does the job for my kindergartner. She is able to type and do her online activities with a mouse that plugs into the USB port. Charges quickly. I am happy with our purchase-- and can't beat the price.

Was trying to figure out what the best option was going to be for me after deciding to return to college. I'm not a tech savvy kind of person, so, I needed a device that was easy to set up and to operate and without too many bells and whistles. This HP Chormebook was definitely the right choice.
