Hello viewers, this is my first computer I've ever owned. I was looking for a decent computer as I'm about to enter college. I've had it for about a week and honestly it runs pretty smoothly. It has all the internal of that of a chrome book. I got the teal 4 RAM,64 gb and I do believe that it fine for me. Its length is that about a ruler and its width about 8.5 inches. Its also touchscreen so that's a plus. If you have any more questions don't be shy to comment. As for speed, I'd say it runs smoothly as well, although I do think it also depends of the connection of your WiFi.

I am a bit torn about the Chromebook. I like it but it has some negatives as well. First of all, I use a tablet to store my knitting patterns and use with other crafts related items (row counter, etc.). I use a tablet to watch Netflix and AmazonPrime shows while sewing. I also check on my email and do some light word processing as well as some light gaming, mainly HOGs. My old beloved 9-inch Google tablet no longer has enough battery power and constantly overheats and shuts down, and the 10-inch cheapo I switched to is okay with Netflix and PDF viewing but not much else. So, when the opportunity arose to try a HP Chromebook, I jumped on it. Here are some of the negatives and positives as I see them. Positives: 1. Comes with full keyboard, no more tapping blindly and missing keys but it does have an onscreen keyboard too, generously sized, when needed 2. Takes a mini SD card (not sure up to what capacity) so I can actually store more 3. 14-inch screen, no more squinting 4. Two USB ports (the new 3.0) 5. A power socket on both sides, now this is ingenious, I don't know how many times I wished for that on other PCs and such 6. Can be used flat with keyboard at front, or folded in two different ways to be used more like a tablet 7. Uses Google PlayStore for Android apps, almost all I used on my tablet are available for the Chromebook as well 8. Flash drive (no data loss when moving the Chromebook), much bigger than in any of my previous tablets 9. Fast enough for my purposes 10. Some of the settings and functions you are used to from an Android tablet are also available here (do not disturb, for example) 11. Keyboard is great but has a bit different layout than Windows PC 12. Power button is backlit so easy to locate at night 13. Speakers are nice, at least for my games 14. The Chromebook only heats up very slightly Negatives: 1. The power button is right next to the SD card slot and I keep ejecting the card instead of turning the Chromebook on or off 2. Screen is not all that bright, have to use it at 100% 3. Awkward to move around due to the screen size and integrated keyboard, maybe a 10 or 12 inch would have been sufficient for me 4. No way to bypass the sign in (that I can figure out), so you have to type in your Google/Gmail password every time and I am more likely to keep the Chromebook on 5. No build in screensaver, you have to download an extension for the Chrome browser for that. 6. The whole Chromebook centers around the Chrome browser and not so much around the OS as it is for Windows systems, so after turning it on, I was a bit floundering as to what to do next. There is no desktop as on a Windows PC, just a taskbar with some of the apps on it and you can add apps to it, but you cannot add widgets or links to apps or folders on the desktop itself. So the Chromebook feels like a Windows laptop but does not act like a Windows laptop and you cannot use Windows programs. However, it can run a light and modified version of Linux, but I have not tried that. 7. I have several crafting related apps not available on the PlayStore and you cannot install from external sources. There is a workaround for that, which consists of using the Chromebook in developer's mode (basically rooting it). This results in a nag screen and nasty beep but the Chromebook boots fine after that and it looks and acts normal. 8. Screen is a fingerprint magnet but otherwise very responsive. 9. Keyboard is not backlit To sum it up, I like being able to see things in more detail and larger size and I like the speed and options/functions of this Chromebook but I think a smaller size would be more convenient for me since I have to keep my Windows laptop for work anyhow. I like using it, I like to watch Netflix on it, I like playing a game or two on it, but it does and will not replace my Windows laptop.

I like to see right off how much power computers have, are they going to crash while I'm using it, or are they just on the lower end meaning after a yr or 2 you can no longer use it.. This Chromebook has a quad core, which means its good, you can work on a few things at a time without crashing. But if you use Lightroom or Photoshop photo editing things like that, you could have some issues. This has 4 GB of memory, Bluetooth, WiFi. 14"Touch screen, 128 GB storage,( I find that low.)So you would need to use other ways of storing things like pictures apps etc..with an SD CARD OR EXTERNAL HARD DRIVES. It does have a Micro SD slot reader, NO DVD player. Another feature is that the screen flips over so you can use this like a tablet. Also the Webcam is good quality.And the screen display is very good. , but in the sun light you could get glare. The Keyboard is back lite also. It has a head phone jack and good sound from the speakers. NOTE: This is a Chromebook witch also means that it runs by Google. NOT Windows. Sturdy casing. and the greatest is that the battery life is long. 11 hrs long. Not bad. So I think this is a great computer ,specially for teens and the everyday user

Someone please tell me what to do with the start up. I got these for my kids and since they opened their gifts this morning the computers have been updating. What am I doing wrong? Not one of them have made it to the Home Screen yet and theyve been on for 10hrs.

I just bought a new HP X360 14" Celeron 2 in 1 Touch Chromebook laptop. Out of the box it has been a Nightmare. I have spent 2 hours trying to register it on the HP website, to no avail. On the HP website I am trying to get support for this but I get a message stating that " This product is no longer serviced by HP. You may search for possible solutions on this support website." This is a brand new laptop, 2020 edition. How can there be NO support available? I can't get Google assistant to work. I have an Android tv with Chromecast built in but am unable to cast to my tv. Yes, my google account is activated on both my tv and my chromebook. I have spent hours trying to figure out how to use this lousy laptop. I can't register it, I cant get support for it. I hate this product. Going to return it today. Thanks HP for horrible experience.

Well my product broke about two months in. I have walmarts extended warranty. Manufacturers warranty covers for one year. But their records state that it is out of warranty. Emailed back and forth for months now. HP says they fixed the problem but it remains unresolved. No emails go unanswered. I guess I will have to wait the year to have this fixed by walmarts warranty. Amazon would not stand for this. And shame on HP.

I have never written a review. But thought it may help save someone some time returning this item. The graphics are poor: Very grainy! And someone who does a lot of typing needs a delete key and a caps lock key right where it belongs: This had neither. Returning.

I have not been able to use this HP chrome book yet. I was elated when it arrived. I plugged it in, then allowed it a little bit of time to charge before starting the process of updates and set-up. Initially, the entire process would take an hour. However, after 9 hours- it was STILL not complete. There were moments when the time did get down to three minutes, however, it would climb back up to almost an hour. So I called it a day. Figuring I could attempt again tomorrow. Well, it continued the same charade again. I am going to be bringing this back into the store to request a NEW one. I believe something must have happened during the shipment, or it was simply a dud/lemon to begin with, I know HP is typically not THIS bad.

I purchased this Chrome Book as a gift for my oldest child. I think I was sent a refurbished one. It doesn't stay connected to the WiFi and shows up on my xfinity account as a generic brand Linux. I'm really disappointed that Walmart would send me a refurbished chrome book when I purchased a new one.

Disappointed with this purchase. Bought for my 2nd grader for online school and Zoom classes. But because of this laptop, virtual learning has been difficult, if not impossible for my son. The laptop is very slow operating and drops wifi signal constantly. I would not recommend this product.
