Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is exactly what I was looking for. I actually had another chrome book I was going to purchase, but this one is sooo much better. I love that the keyboard detaches and it basically becomes a tablet. It has a touch screen plus a stylus which is awesome. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because it gets a little glitchy when the screen isn’t locked and it gets stuck when flipping back and forth. But other than that I’m happy with it.

For the price I got it for, I'm pretty happy with the device overall. The usability of Chrome OS in general is kind of strange though, it tries to be like a slimmed down laptop, but obviously running on Android and on an ARM cpu, it's limited in that capacity. It's basically an Android tablet, but a bit more tuned for use with a keyboard and mouse. For web browsing and email and such, it's completely fine; but so is an android tablet if you hook up a mouse and keyboard to it. Hardware wise it seems solid and durable, the keyboard/mouse unit is pretty good to for a cover-style keyboard as well. If you can live with the fairly basic use cases of ChromeOS, this is a great device. If you're looking for more of an all-around device, go for a full laptop. If you don't specifically need a keyboard and mouse, you're probably better off with a higher end Android tablet.

IMO, this might just be the best Android tablet, that just happens to also be a pretty good Chromebook. Let's get this out of the way, if all you want is a laptop, this isn't going to be the best. For adult men, the keyboard is workable, but smaller than comfortable; I don't have any problems, but am not as fast as with my proper 14" laptop. For children or if you want a tablet that also has a keyboard, this is perfect. If your child or tween needs a Chromebook for school, this would be on my short list. If you're in high school or Univeristy and want a second display for reading or watching videos while working on your proper laptop or writing notes without filling a backpack with notebooks, this is a great buy. If you just want a good tablet, it's excellent. I bought this primarily to replace my Galaxy Tab S6 because I shattered the display and getting it fixed was going to cost as much as this tablet. I'm primarily using it as a tablet. As such, the two most important features are the display and the speakers. The display is great, obviously not quite as good as the Samsung or an iPad, but about on par with a Surface device for color accuracy, black levels, and response time and a much higher resolution than a Surface Go. The speakers are bad, highs are shrill, bass is non-existent, and mids are semi-hollow sound as if the tablet is across the room even if you're holding it a foot from your face. It seems like the speakers were designed specifically for video-conferencing, at which is it excellent. The processor is fast enough; it's no speed demon, but loads web pages without delay and plays video without stutter. If you want to play Genshin, you're gonna have a bad time, but for the rest of us it is all we need. I really like that the kickstand can be removed. The magnetic system gives you the best of both worlds, having a heavy device for when you want it to stay still on a table or your lap and a light device when you're holding it in bed or on the couch watching a movie reading. The 11" display is slightly larger than the Galaxy S6 that I'm replacing and on paper the same size as the S7, but because it's more square 3:2 aspect ratio like a Surface rather than widescreen 16:9 like most laptops or 16:10 like most Android tablets you get more real estate for reading and slightly less for video. The more square aspect ratio also, IMO, makes it slightly more comfortable to hold for extended periods of time. And unlike a Surface Go, Pro X, or Galaxy Tab, there's sufficient bezel to hold it with so you're not just pinching the corners. I don't use the keyboard often, but it's great to have. If I'm reading through my email and find one that I need to respond to in the middle of my various newsletters, it's great to attach the keyboard rather than getting out my laptop. If I'm away from home and my laptop has died, it's a good backup too. The keys are well stabilized and have good actuation pressure and travel, very similar to Surface. But I said in the opening, I'm an adult man and my hands don't exactly fit on it comfortably (I wear a men's medium glove). As typical for HP devices the trackpad is disappointing. It tracks accurately, but palm rejection is crude and it won't track at all if you start your finger too close to the edge. They keyboard deck isn't quite stiff enough and it's easy to accidentally click the mouse just by leaning a wrist one side of the keyboard deck and lifting they other. And the fact that it doubles as a folio to protect it in a bag is $30 you don't have to spend. The pen is as accurate as you can expect in this price range. There are many different pen technologies. Wacom has a couple such as you'll find in high end Windows convertibles and Galaxy devices, nTrig as in Surface devices, Apple, USI, and Synaptics. This has USI, which fills the gap between the good ones and Synaptics (unusable). For note taking and perhaps drawing diagrams it's good, if you're planning on making digital art, get a Surface or iPad. It is accurate, but does not have tilt support and I don't think it has pressure detection. Now that Chrome OS supports Android and Ubuntu applications, it's slowly becoming a fantastic everyday laptop and tablet OS, what Windows 8 dreamed of being, even for those of us who don't use Google services. I've installed the Brave Android browser and Firefox Linux desktop browser, both of which work nearly perfectly. The default touch keyboard is bad, but you can install Swift Key or the Samsung Galaxy Keyboard, both of which solve all usability issues (but sometimes I have to restart the whole system because they refuse to open). You can't install MS Office, but you can use the web apps, or I'd imagine most people using Chrome OS will be using Google Docs, and for the technically inclined, OpenOffice and LibreOffice are both available. If you really want to, this could become a full Linux laptop. So, then there's the competition. I bought this device for $400, if it were full MSRP ($600), I'd drop my review to 4 starts. The Surface Go 3 "starts" at $400, but once you add a keyboard, slim pen, and upgrade to 8GB of RAM, you're over $700. Sure, the speakers and pen are much better and sometimes you just need Windows, but the 1/2" smaller display on the Surface makes a big difference at this size, you don't have access to Android apps, and $300 is just too big of a difference to make it worth it to me. The Galaxy S8 is $700 and doesn't have access to a desktop browser, despite having a slightly better display, much better speakers, and a much better pen (and the keyboard will be an extra $100 if you miss the preorder window). And the iPad Air is $1,050 after adding pen and keyboard. If you don't get the pen, the iPad and Surface get $130 and $70 cheaper respectively. So on Price, the HP is in a category of its own. And IMO, it's the best of the 4 at doing everything.

I have been using the new x2 for a couple of weeks now and overall, like the computer, For the sale price, it is an amazing and versatile computer, but it also has some serious problems that make it difficult to recommend at full price. On the hardware front, there are lots of outstanding features. You get a keyboard, kick place and self-charging stylus, all of which attach magnetically (I chose the attractive teal blue color.) The body of the tablet is metal, not plastic, and feels solid. The display is bright and surprisingly good for watching movies on. With a decent processor and 8GB of RAM, applications run with no issues; granted, I haven’t tried gaming on it. The overall weight is a little on the heavy side, but not bad considering everything that goes into it. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi work flawlessly. The speakers are decent, but aren’t as good as Lenovo’s 4-speakers. I'm getting about 8 hours including a fair amount of internet use from the x2. On the downside, battery power drains much too fast when the machine is completely off. It is difficult to hold without accidentally touching the screen. The magnetic stylus dock is annoying when holding the x2 as a tablet. The keyboard isn’t backlit and the keys are not as comfortable to type on as Surface tablets, despite the keyboards being the same size. As for Chrome OS; the HP x2 has auto OS updates till Jun 2029 which is a real plus at this price range. There are lots of apps to choose from on the Google App Store (far fewer on the Chrome Stone.) On the other hand, there are several issues with the OS. I assume Google was trying to make it look like Apple OS, but instead, they just made it klugy and confusing. Despite being an avid Android user, there was a large learning curve for me. Worse there are several core elements missing compared to Android or Windows. For one, you can’t control power usage at all; not even how long the screen stays on before turning off. The OS has no option to auto install apps from another device when you are setting it up, you have to manually install them from the Play Store. Worse, the desktop has NO customization options other than dragging and dropping app icons on top of each other to create folders, and you can’t even have an icon in more than one folder. There is no dedicated back button and sometimes I’ve had to just close an app and reopen it to go back a page. The way Chrome handles whether all apps are full screen or windowed is arbitrary and inconsistent; again, there is no setting to override the choices. There seems to be no consistency whether the OS allows a fingerprint to access the machine or requires a password which is especially frustrating as my passwords are intentionally long for security. Several Android apps don’t work or don’t work well. The Chrome Store is underwhelming. I only found a single app that was of any interest, and it was one meant to fix one of the flaws in the lack of controls for the OS. There is more, but suffice to say, Chrome is a severely hampered OS compared to Windows or Android. Hopefully Google will address some of the major flaws in future updates, as I won’t be investing in another Chromebook unless they do.

I am a long term Chromebook user, but moved to a Microsoft Surface Pro 8 because I missed the full windows experience. However, I found it too big for travel and missed having a small and light portable device. Being anti-Apple, yet hating the limited number of updates for Android tablets, I jumped back into the Chromebook world with this HP. I love it...totally love it. Perfect tablet and great little laptop/Chromebook. Seems to run as fast as my limited i5 Pixel Slate. 10 solid hours of battery life. Nice keyboard although not backlit. If you can get it on sale for $400 or less, it's an amazing 5 star deal. For more than $400, I would give it 4 stars

Cute and fast chrome book for my sister she loves it

I love my laptop! It has amazing features, its really fast and it does its job amazingly well.

I got this Chromebook on sale and now am not disappointed. I was looking for a small sized Chromebook with sufficient power. I did not want to have to worry about antivirus software. It takes getting used to propping up the screen if I am sitting in bed but not a deal breaker. So far so good. Excellent battery life.

Love this!!! Great space works for everything, so easy to use

I caught this on sale while shopping for my daughter's graduation gift (iPad 11 pro). I love this tablet it's small enough to fit in my backpack with my books and it is convenient to pick up and carry go, The fact that it came with the case and pen was a bonus for me. I ended up with 2 tablets for a great price.

I've had this HP Chromebook X2 for just a day. I was at Best Buy a couple days ago, perusing. I went to the chromebooks section and noticed a chromebook I've not seen on display before. I noticed it to be similar to the Lenovo Chromebook Duet but with a slightly bigger screen. I was intrigued, I checked it out and found that it was on sale for $379.99 and the store had an open box, excellent condition for $333. 8gb of memory and 64gb eMMC storage, this is doable for a chromebook. After making sure the HP X2 had all the things inside the box and the X2 turned on, I bought it. I got home with it and gave it a good clean, since it was an open box, and looked great; I had to do a once over in cleaning. Got it going on, first thing I checked it the AUE(end of update) and this updateable till June 2029. I'm so good with that! The back kickstand, the magnet is strong and I don't have to worry about the back cover coming off. The keyboard is much easier to type on than on the Lenovo Duet and the keys are spaced perfectly for an 11" 2 n 1. The keyboard has magnets on the top part that it will stick to the tablet like on a Microsoft Surface Pro or Go2, very nice touch and it also raised the keyboard a smidge to make typing a little more elevated. + 1 on ergonomics! The keys are a bit stiff to type but not mushy and the keys are not backlit. I don't have a problem with that, the screen is plenty bright even at 50% that you can just see the keys. The trackpad is quite accurate, very easy to use and scroll and smooth. The keyboard, I've checked out some Youtube vids on reviews on the X2. And those reviewers have stated and I can attest, the keyboard on the sides of the trackpad will click when bent. Yes it is annoying, but I've not experienced any weird clicks on the screen when this happens. Not sure if this will bother you or not. The tablet has a fingerprint scanner that works great. One touch and it opens up my X2. What a nice touch, not too many chromebooks unless it's a premium, high dollar one has this feature. The X2 has 2 USB C ports. Odd though, both USB C ports are on the bottom left side of the tablet and on top of each other. Why??? Why not one USB C on each side? Also, the X2 has a micro SD card slot. I installed my 128gb Micro SD and it works great. I'm not limited to the internal 64gb. Now for the surprise and something the Lenovo Duet did not have. I did not know that this whole X2 unit includes an HP USI pen. I didn't know this till I watched Youtube vids of a couple unboxing and noticed it has a pen. I wasn't sure if I had this said pen in the open box. I looked under the area where the keyboard was kept in the box and noticed another rectangular box. IT HAD THE PEN STILL and with spare tips!!! BONUS for $333!!! The USI pen works good. I did experiment with it to get the feel for the pen. With the keyboard attached, the pen only lets you scroll and open up tabs and click on bookmarks. It will not allow you to write, if it does this I've not figured it out. But in tablet mode, the keyboard not attached to tablet, the pen will allow you to write and draw. Another odd thing, cuz my Microsoft Surface Pro and Go2 will let you write with the keyboard on it. Also the pen will stick to the right side of the tablet with strong magnets that the pen will not come off the side, till you pull it out to use. Also the pen will recharge when it's mounted to the right side. Never have to worry about it running low on battery. Back to the keyboard and may be a deal breaker for me. The keyboard covers the tablet screen when it is closed. But, if you want to use the tablet with the keyboard attached and flip the keyboard back while still attached to the tablet, you can hit the keys on back and it will register on the screen. So I would accidentally type a letter, close the window I'm on or more the mouse pointer. I with again this is like the MS Surface Pro or Go2, that when the keyboard is attached and flipped back, the tablet turns off the keyboard so you don't accidentally press any keys and have it do something on the screen. HP, if you're reading this; PLEASE fix this problem with an update. The weight is IMO, is a little heavy. But I guess it's justified with all the things attached to the 11" tablet. But it's lighter than a 12.3" Microsoft Surface Pro. The front and back cameras and microphone are mediocre, but I don't use those too often. The speakers are in front, on top on the sides. The sound of the speakers are tinny. But they work, the speakers remind me of the bottom speakers in sound of the Acer Spin 713, which is a premium chromebook. Battery life as I can tell so far has been great. I full charged the X2 and it was a fast charge from the included USB C brick charger. It lasts longer on battery charge than my MS Surface Pro 6 and Surface Go2. I know I'm getting 8 or more hours of use on just the battery. I will say that I wouldn't pay $600 retail for this chromebook. It's very nice and has almost all the things I want in a chromebook checked off. For this to be on sale for $380 and find it at that time for an open box one for $333, this is a winner! HP has almost hit a home run with this new 2 n 1 chromebook. Fix the keyboard flipped around in tablet mode and be able to use the USI pen with the keyboard attached to write, and this would be grand slam! This should be a 4 to 4 1/2 stars, it's just not quite there with the aforementioned issues. Don't pay over $400 for this chromebook, it's best at under that amount.

Its overall a good computer, no problems and it work perfectly!

Nice little pad and key pad. Quick, small enough to carry easily and large enough for comfortable use. So far it has held a charge but i havent used for any real length of time. Overall a good value.

I wanted a Chromebook tablet with a stylus that was a bit more powerful than the Duet. This is a great tablet. The battery life is awesome, the processor runs great with 8GB of RAM, and the stylus and keyboard is so nice to have included. This is a great package!

The HP X2 Chromebook is good. If you're looking for a chromebook experience in the shape of a surface, you've found it. Processor's a little slow, if you're doing a lot of things you'll see it slow down/stutter at times. But the screen is vibrant, keyboard is better than most tablet keyboards that merge/hide a lot of buttons. Speakers are not very good, esp for the retail price on this (def wait on a sale).

The product is pretty good but dont like the keyboard very much needs improvement very flimsy.

Good product. Will buy again. From here on, just for enough required characters.

I REALLY wanted to like this tablet. I'm currently using a Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 w/ Keyboard Combo. The appeal of having a full Chrome Desktop browser intrigued me enough to check this out. I work in IT and like having something on the go I can get some work done and maybe some Netflix, etc too. The speed of this device - slower than my 2 yr old Galaxy (I benchmarked it as well). Sound - WOW! Probably one of the main reasons I returned it. I get that some laptops don't have great speakers, but if you're going to market as a Tablet - you should know it may be used as a Media Consumption device! The speakers are thin and tinny. I'm talking 2005 LG Flip Phone quality. That bad. Chrome OS! Meh - not ready for a tablet. Maybe it's functional, but coming from Android Tablet with Widgets and custom home screen layout, etc - which you can do none of here, I was underwhelmed. Granted this is more specific to the Chrome OS than the hardware. I will say - the Design of this tablet is TOP NOTCH. Really a pleasure to use and hold aesthetically. And the included Keyboard is really stellar. I wouldn't pay $599 for this. $379 on sale? Depends on your needs! A great value at that price point, but not MSRP.

I was amazed at how well and fast the HP Chromebook Tablet works. I thought the small keyboard would be an issue, but it is very easy to type on. This was an excellent purchase. The computer does everything I want it to and more!

This HP Chromebook is perfect for browsing the web, use as an e-reader. you don't need a "computer" the Chromebook will do everything you need at a fraction of the price. It's quick and user friendly. Touch screen and stylus work great
