HP - 14" 2-In-1 Touchscreen Chromebook - Intel Pentium Silver - 4GB Memory - 64GB eMMC - Spruce Blue

This chromebook works amazing. Very good for entry level college use, It can handle just about everything. I’ve had it for over a year and have not had a single issue. Also the touchscreen is very convenient and being able to use it as a “tablet” makes me want to give it a 6th star. It’s awesome

I brought this product open box trusting the policy & integrity of best buy. As soon as I took it out of the box although there was plastic over it you could still see the prints of it being handled. I attempted to set up my google acct and the screen kept freezing and it did this through the who process of setting it up.

First Impressions -It's a Chromebook. -The color matched spruce blue keyboard and track pad are nice finishing touches. Auto Update Expiration -Clicking through settings, this particular model (14b-cb0023dx) is slated to receive updates through June 2029. -As a result of my clumsiness, I fully expect to accidentally break this Chromebook well before the summer of 2029, but thank you for believing in me, Google. Display -According to the sticker on the box, this particular model with the Jasper Lake Pentium N6000 is equipped with an FHD (1920x1080) IPS touchscreen panel rated at 250 nits of brightness. -The display is fine, but it will likely lose in a head-to-head battle with an extremely beautiful sunny day. Perhaps that's not such a bad thing. Cooling -As far as I can tell, there is no active cooling; there are no vents to speak of. This is, of course, not an issue for the Pentium Silver N6000. -Huzzah for passive cooling and the lack of a whirring fan. Build -As far as I can tell, the lid, keyboard deck, and bottom panel are all plastic. Presumably, the track pad is plastic, as well. -The power button and volume rocker are nicely recessed and have soft feedback (i.e. not much of a click). -Feels pretty solid, though. It would definitely hurt if you dropped this thing on your foot. Branding -There are two small stickers on the keyboard deck: a small "Energy Star" sticker and a minimalist Intel sticker for the Pentium Silver processor. -I was happy to see that the Chromebook logo on the lid is in full color, which adds a nice bit of pop and contrast. -As usual, the HP logo is incorporated into the display bezel and lid, while the B&O logo is hanging out beneath the right speaker grill. -I hope that one day someone looks at me with a raised eyebrow and asks, "B&O makes laptops?" Speakers -Upward firing, aggressively normal laptop speakers. -I'm not sure how to accurately describe the speakers. I guess it's best to find a store with a display model, blast some YouTube, and see if they're to your liking. Hopes and Dreams -I was hoping against all hope that the Best Buy spec sheet was incorrect and the keyboard was back-lit. No such luck. Darn you, accurate spec sheet. Closing Thoughts -It's a Chromebook. It's nice. Very Spruce Blue. Have a good day, everyone.

I got this chrome book back in February before my college classes started and so far it’s still working pretty good. Only two issues I’ve had are the left touchpad button gets stuck (this started as soon as I opened it, I didn’t mind it at first because it rarely happened, now it happens more frequently but I guess it happens more often because my three year old brother for some reason likes going into my room and I always see him sit on top of which is confusing) the other issue is that when I would open YouTube through chrome, after maybe thirty minutes of watching videos, the screen would glitch and freeze. I’d have to constantly restart my computer since I usually use YouTube to listen to music but eventually I power washed it and now it’s working like new again, this started maybe a month after buying it. I still have good space and in my opinion you pretty much get you pay for, it’s affordable and doesn’t get laggy or slow by having multiple tabs open. The graphics are pretty decent. I definitely recommend for school.

Depending on what your using it for this laptop can be good or bad. If you’re using it for simple school/work tasks which involve browsing websites making documents, replying to email, and other things of that nature this laptop will suit you well it has just enough performance to help you successfully finish small tasks. Now the bad, if you are going to be multitasking on the computer I wouldn’t recommend it simply because it will freeze up or significantly slow down if you have a couple different applications running as it is not designed to handle the heavy cpu/memory load. But overall I would say this a decent starter laptop that will give you just enough performance to complete simple tasks.

It's my daughter's laptop, Touch screen works great though she hardly uses it as a tablet. The unit has been flawless I mean near perfect, I know it's a chrome book but it has not hiccuped once. The battery is good for a day's travel or so. I would buy another one if or when my son needs one for school.

I bought this for my daughter for her freshman year of college. It was a great purchase for the price when compared to other devices. The set up was simple and it’s very easy to use. She likes it and is able to use it for her online classes. I would recommend this purchase to friends.

The laptop reaches 100 % battery life fairly quickly, good long battery life. Easy to use with touch screen. The start up of laptop to home screen is quick & smooth. It took a little time to get used to using Google software programs since, I'm used to Microsoft PC products.
