HP - 14" Chromebook - Intel Celeron - 4GB Memory - 16GB eMMC Flash Memory - Silver

If you're looking for a computer that will let you play Minecraft, use Photoshop, and generally be an all-purpose computer, look elsewhere. However, if you want a very basic, minimal-distraction computer, this could be the one for you. I haven't had this one very long; I actually traded in a Windows-turned-Ubuntu laptop for this last night. That being said, so far I love it! I bought this to just do simple tasks like email, word processing, etc. I knew coming into it that I wasn't going to be able to do any of my design work; that's what I have my desktop and iPad for. But for a quick email, text, or some basic photo editing, this is a great little machine. You just have to know what you're getting into with the Chrome OS; it's very very basic and relies on the Chrome browser. There's no installing apps like a typical computer. If you're willing to sacrifice that, and are okay with finding a site that does what you need it to, this is great!

I love my new laptop! It’s so light and easy to use

Its light weight and extremely easy to use for my little ones

Aesthetically pleasant,the lappie is functionally on form. I wish it was a pentium or quad-core in proportion to the size. But no complaints though.

Screen cracked in less than a month. Store won't fix cheaply or replace. Done with Best Buy.

I wanted an inexpensive 14-inch laptop to replace (for most but not all uses) my bulky and heavy 15.6" Dell Windows laptop purchased in 2013. Originally I had planned to purchase a Windows laptop with SSD and no optical drive, but after some research I quickly learned that for $200 you can do much better with a Chromebook than a Windows system. (I also have another 15.6" Windows laptop for work, 11" Acer Chromebook, 10" Samsung Tab, Fire 8 HD, and of course the cell phone - and each of these devices has its niche.) Overall I am very pleased with this unit. Performance is good for everyday light use such as web browsing, and the size is perfect for that use; I haven't used it for much else. Battery life seems acceptable, though it is a little concerning that currently the meter says 83% left with 6:17 remaining, whereas a little while ago it said 87% with 7:44 remaining and I have not changed the intensity of my activity on it between those readings. That is quite the exponential drop-off. But when battery life is critical (and when physical space is at a premium) I can use the smaller Chromebook or a different device. The screen looks nice for what it is. I have no problem with the resolution: I was coming from a larger-screen laptop with the same resolution, so this was actually an upgrade. The major caveat I will insert here is that the screen is NOT GLOSSY (BrightView) like the description says. Upon un-boxing this was a major disappointment and almost a dealbreaker for me. It seems difficult to find an inexpensive unit with a glossy screen these days. But most people seem to want the antiglare/matte finish now, and since I like the computer so much overall I decided to put up with it. A couple other caveats: The case is kind of flimsy, so I am not sure how this will hold up physically over time; and there is only an microSD rather than full-size SD card reader, which originally was not my preference, but I do own several microSDs and maybe it was time to phase out the full-size anyway. And it IS nice to have the card fit all the way into the unit, unlike the full-size SD that slides only halfway into my other Chromebook. SO, why did I rate this five-stars despite so many caveats? I don't know. I tend to be a negative writer, so take me with a grain of salt. But really, this is just a very pleasing device to use, I became comfortable with it immediately, and I think we will have some happy times together. So in the final analysis I have no real complaints. Buy it.

I really hate having to right click, it's complicated. I had to google how to right click. I have to print from my google drive just to print a complete page. I'm unsure why is that because my printer worked perfectly with my hp printer. There is no caps lock. For $200 I guess I shouldn't expect a dell.It's good if you just need a basic laptop for a good price. The speaker is at the bottom. I'm unsure what genius thought of that. Best feature: the price Worst feature: The right click and sound

Not sure if this review request is for the first Chrome book I bought or the second one. I already have a MacBook Air, and bought extra memory for it but it is still always telling me it's "almost full". I do not want to buy another MacBook since they are really expensive. Mainly I shop and read emails online. The only thing I really need the MacBook for is my photos. What I have been doing with this Chromebook is using it to go online and do whatever I need and if I need to use the Macbook, just switch over to that. At $180 (I paid that for the 2nd one) it is a deal. And it's the same size as my MacBook Air, so it's not tiny. I did have to buy a different printer that has Air Print capability, but I actually had wanted to put a printer upstairs for my kids, so I moved the older printer upstairs and got me a new laser printer. Laser printers are so affordable nowadays. I can print and do pretty much everything on this Chrome Book, even write this review. I already use Google for everything and Gmail, so it's pretty seamless.
