I was really skeptical about this laptop due to the fact that I’m a College Junior. I worried that this laptop wouldn’t be compatible with my GIS classes as it requires for me to do labs. When I tell you, I tried it out and it worked wonders, my anxieties went out the window! The driver himself who delivered the package was sweet as daisies!

My husband purchased this one for his work computer after I’ve had mine for years and it’s still working amazing! My computer is used by our children for homeschool as well so it’s seen sticky fingers and not ideal handling. If you want a computer that will do the basic needs and have a long life this one is for you!

I’m fairly impressed with both the Chrome OS platform and the performance and quality of the HP hardware I’m reviewing. The HP 14 Chromebook has a gorgeous design that looks like a normal business laptop. The grey color scheme looks great, and the quality of the finish competes with mid-grade Windows OS laptop. Despite using somewhat low spec processor, RAM and memory capacity, the performance is still pretty good due to the excellence of the Chrome OS platform. That is because the Chrome OS relies on using cloud computing technology, which makes it very efficient in optimizing limited on-board system resources. If you are an Android phone user, you would feel right at home with the Chrome OS user interface. The downside to cloud computing tech is that local storage is not a priority, so subscription to Google One services, while it’s not required, would enhance user’s experience greatly as it would solve the problem of having limited local storage. As is, the 64GB on board eMMC storage is ample of capacity to download and install many apps from the Google Play store.
The build quality is good. The laptop uses durable material. The monitor hinge seems durable enough and the monitor can even lay flat on the table. Despite its 14-inch form factor, the laptop still feels light enough.
Screen quality is typical of what you would expect from any laptop within the same price range. It’s useable and will do the job just fine. However, colors are muted, and the viewing angle is limited. It has plenty of brightness, which I really like. Bottom line is, I need to remind myself that this Chromebook is what one should expect from a laptop that sits at the upper entry level/ bottom price range.
In terms of user experience, I enjoy using this Chromebook. Chrome OS comes with built-in anti-virus and malware protection so in most cases one does not need to pay for an internet security subscription.
Audio is loud enough so streaming videos from Youtube is an enjoyable experience. The audio is good for listening to podcasts with ample volume and sufficient clarity, but the speakers are typical entry level ones, so music listening is not as enjoyable experience. Since this is a Chromebook, the preferred business app is Google workspace although you can still work with Microsoft Office through its web browser application. Importing your MS Office files to Google workspace apps is as easy as uploading all your files to your google drive. The Chromebook comes pre-installed with Google workspace so there is no need to install the mobile app version from the Google Play store.
Although the laptop uses Intel Celeron, there is enough processing power for the Chrome OS to make user experience enjoyable for both business and entertainment. There is a front facing camera for video conferencing and again, the image quality is what one should expect from an entry level laptop. Battery life is also good, typical of Chrome OS laptops.
I’m impressed with the availability of connectivity options and the wide range of ports. Of course it has Wifi and Bluetooth, but the fact that the laptop has both USB-C and USB-A as well as audio jack and HDMI port is just awesome. There’s plenty of connectivity options there, ready for both business and entertainment.
Bottom line is this is a great Chromebook for those who know what to expect from a Chrome OS machine at the given price range. This Chromebook is a massive upgrade from the ones kids use in public school.
