HP - 14" Chromebook - AMD A4-Series - 4GB Memory - AMD Radeon R4 - 32GB eMMC Flash Memory - HP Textured Finish In Chalkboard Gray

This is my first Chromebook and based on other reviews I need to say: please, make sure you understand what a Chromebook is before getting one with unrealistic expectations. It will not run Windows programs, major video games, etc. With that out of the way, I think this is a wonderful budget Chromebook. I wanted something with good battery life, enough RAM and processing for basic multi tasking, and a mid-size screen. IMO 11" is too small (might as well use my 10" tablet) and 15+" is harder to travel with. My 14" Chromebook is fitting perfectly in between my 10" tablet and my 17" gaming laptop. Perfect size to travel with but big enough to see while on your lap instead of holding it up to your face. Wanting it mostly for multi-tab web browsing and doing financials/budgeting, I knew it was silly to get the $400+ models for my needs (although it was tempting). This handles multi-tab Chrome plus a couple other apps all at the same time very well. Every once in a while some slight slowness loading things but so minor it's nitpicky. The keyboard is good for my needs but I'm no professional writer so not great at reviewing keyboards. I do really wish it was backlit but that usually requires more expensive models. The mousepad isn't perfect. Sometimes it's a little choppy or just doesn't seem to track me very well. It's good enough and I haven't felt a need yet to use an external mouse. Lastly the screen is no award winner but definitely good enough. If you're looking for a mini media center you'd probably want to look for a higher quality screen (and therefore probably higher price). Battery has been great so far, but I haven't measured actual usage as it has always lasted across multiple usage sessions. Highly recommended for budget Chromebook for average use and basic multitasking.

I purchased this Chromebook as part of a Black Friday sale for $112 (listed price is $249). I figured at this price I should definitely check it out. This is my first Chromebook, up until now I have been a Mac user at home and Windows user at work. Having used this computer for a bit now I can say I am definitely a fan of ChomeOS; it is very user friendly, simple, and elegant. Right off the bat the build quality of this computer is fantastic. It feels solid, has 2 standard USB ports, 2 USB-C ports (which is also how it charges) as well as a headphone jack, and micro-SD. The keyboard has a great feel to it and the 14 inch screen is a great compromise between size and portability (oh and by the way this thing is super light). From my experience this computer has been great for creating/editing documents and spreadsheets, surfing the web, checking email, and streaming Netflix/Hulu. As impressed as I am with this computer, there are two drawbacks that do ump out at me… The display quality leaves plenty to be desired. To me the display appears to be washed out and poor contrast, additionally, the keyboard is not back-lit. But in my opinion, the pros significantly out-weigh the cons. I would definitely recommend this computer to anyone with basic computer needs on a budget. Even at the full price of $249 this is still a great computer.

It perfectly serves the intended purpose. Office & most educative programs are pre installed. Very friendly usage! My daughter is only 11 years, but she uses it for homework & other project with ease. I really like it, & will recommend it for everyone without hesitation. Get one for yourself!

I purchased more out of curiosity being one of the first Chromebooks with a AMD processor. After first startup and connecting to WiFi, the Chromebook proceeded to check for updates and downloaded updates for over 30 minutes. After that completed and a reboot I proceeded to login into my Google account and let all the normal syncing take place. I noted that this Chromebook has Android 9.0 instead of 7.1.1 like my other Chromebooks. I have had this Chromebook over a month now and so far it has performed fine except for some Android app notification issues which are not present on my other Chromebooks.

I recently retired and needed my own laptop to browse the internet when sitting on the couch and away from our desktop computer (yes, we are slightly archaic and still have a desktop). My husband's had a Chromebook for about 4 years and likes his...so I thought I'd give it a try. For what I need to use this for...browsing the internet, doing spreadsheets, etc.) works great!

This AMD Chromebook is the best on the market so far is 2019. Excellent CPU and GPU in a Chromebook device. As of 4/15 I've purchased two devices for my kids. We play games from the Google Play Store including Minecraft. I purchase a more expensive Chromebook for myself, and ended up returning it because this laptop outperformed the more expensive laptop.

I really like the Chrome OS. So easy to store things in the cloud and transfer safely. When my 1st Chrome died in January, I used my old Dell desk top. Could wait to get this Chromebook. SO EASY ! plug it in, turn it on, sign it and viola ! every picture, every document, my email, my saved pages ! right there. I recommend Chrome to anyone. Reliable and so many options.

I got this computer strictly for internet browsing, especially abroad. It is a lovely little computer and is light weight for it's size. I have used Chromebooks before in school (I teach) and I liked them which is one reason I got one. I recommend this computer.
