Customers find value in the touch screen, ease of use, and long battery life of this 2-in-1 Chromebook. Its lightweight design and strong performance are also frequently praised, along with the ample RAM and competitive price. However, some users mention limited storage capacity and occasional fan noise as drawbacks. A few also reported minor compatibility issues and some instances of the device overheating.
I had to buy this chromebook, when the laptop that my job provided me to work from home with, just completely shut down on me. I did my research on a couple of different laptops, and devices to get my work done on the same day. I saw this chromebook, and given the research I did on it, and the price, I figured it would be the best option for me, and boy was I right. It is awesome!! Long lasting battery, Great screen, a Backlit Keyboard, Good sound, It DOES have a built in web camera!!! I repeat it DOES have a built in web camera. I do not know why under the specs it says that it does not, and while it is not the best one on the market, it gets the job done! It is a 2 in 1, so it turns into a tablet when needed, it is a bit heavy to just hold on to in tablet mode, but just place it down on something, and it is perfectly fine. Now a chromebook is not the same as a laptop, but I have been just fine with it, I am still able to do Microsoft applications such as Word, and Excel, and make schedules. It is very fast. It has android apps, so I am able to listen to my Spotify, while doing my work if I choose which is GREAT!. I was honestly thinking of switching this, for a "Laptop" but chose not to because this is perfect for what I do. It is slim, and light as well, so it is easy to travel around with. The white, and gold sounded weird at first but it is very aesthetically pleasing to the eye. I absolutely love it, and you will too!!

Way better than the last x360 Chromebook. I had nothing but hardware issues on top of hardware issues with the last Chromebook. Ended up having to warranty it for repairs, bought this one instead on a Black Friday sale for only $379! Everything about this from the design, down to the performance HP listened to their customers about. Thanks for removing those ugly bezels HP, and following a more Spectre/ENVY look this year! I had no issues with the Luminous Gold and white lid, but I admit, it was a little flashy and a fingerprint magnet. The "Mineral Silver" as HP calls it is a much more subtle and premium look. I honestly think this is Space Gray haha, but had to avoid issues with Apple getting triggered over color names. This one is way faster in the processor department too. The 10th Gen Core i3 is still a dual core, but it actually outperforms a gaming processor (8th Gen Core i7-8750H) in web browsing benchmarks. Which is crazy for Intel to be able to do on such a small processor die. Same amount of RAM with higher frequency (if that matters to you), same eMMC flash storage with 64 GB (hasn't bothered me one bit since I use a 256 GB SD Card to remedy space issues). Upgraded chicklet membrane keyboard with less key travel and noise, added fingerprint unlock (I use my phone instead to unlock the Chromebook anyway, still way faster to do it that way). It gripe I've had with it so far Day 1 is the extremely strong magnet to lock the kid down in normal laptop mode (not 2 in 1 tablet mode). Did HP use a Neodymium magnet or something? I have to lift both sides with two hands really strongly, instead of a normal one touch to open like a MacBook. I guess that's great if you are traveling? Again, that's my only gripe with it so far. In conclusion, if you want the Apple MacBook Air/HP ENVY x360/HP Spectre x360 of Chromebooks, you have met your match with this product. All that in a package that's way less money than the products I mentioned above, in a just as premium design/equal performing machine that's more value for the money. Especially, if you can find it on a massive sale from the $629 price tag, like say: Black Friday!

The HP Chromebook x360 -14 is an excellent Chromebook and has a premium build quality to it. The device feels very solid and sturdy! For a 14” Chromebook it does have some heft to it. This device has an 8th generation Intel Core i3 processor coupled with 8 GB of RAM. This provides a nice balance in performance and at the time of purchase the device was on sale for $499. This price also makes this Chromebook an exceptional value. Despite several reviews indicating that the fan in this device is loud and runs consistently, my experience has been the opposite. I have played several games on this Chromebook from the Google Play Store and a couple of games from Steam for Linux, while the fan did power on it was not loud and I could barely tell that it was running. I have not experienced any issues with overheating or throttling while using this device. The display on this device has great image quality and good viewing angles. Movies, Games and Images all look very clear. Although I did notice that the display looks a little dim even on full brightness. This is not a problem when indoors but may be an issue if you use the device outdoors or in bright sunlight. The speakers on this device are not bad and for a laptop the sound quality is quite good. The keyboard is comfortable to type on and the keys had nice travel to them while typing! The backlighting on the keyboard is a plus as well. This device has two USB C ports and they both can be used to charge the device. There is also a USB 3.0 A port and a Micro SDCard reader. Thus far I am pleased with this Chromebook and would recommend this device for anyone in the market for a Chromebook.
