So happy I purchased this!

Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2019

I am so happy with my purchase! I love this laptop. I have a MacBook Pro that I use as my 'home' computer, and I use this one as my 'travel' computer. I take this one with me on vacation, to coffee shops, friends houses, etc. This laptop is fast, easy to use, and holds a charge for a long time, and the price is fantastic. There's not a whole lot of storage space on it, but for internet browsing and streaming, it is perfect. Plus, for any papers or pictures or anything, you can always use google docs or slides. I am very happy with this purchase and love this laptop!

Issues within the first three months and impossible to service

Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2020

I am completely fed up with HP and this device. I wish I never bought it.

It worked for a little over 2 months and then the trackpad would start to lock up randomly to the point it was unusable without a mouse. When I tried to contact HP, I had a really hard time getting help from their support line. They were unresponsive and unhelpful. Finally, I got a hold of someone who let me send the unit in to have it repaired.

I had issues with the repaired unit ever since I got it back. It loses video images and and I am unable to get it to connect to external monitors or to cast to Chromecast. Once again, I tried to contact support and had issues getting anyone to respond. As with before, when I did finally get someone, they were not helpful - I feel like I was getting stock answers that had nothing to do with what the problem was.

I finally gave up and swore I would not go with another HP device (Chromebook, printer, or other device). It just isn't worth trying if you can't get support because HP is too big and bureaucratic for their britches these days.

It's been 2-1/2 years and this HP Chromebook is used every day. It's still like brand new. I paid $162 August of '21 and recommend it wholeheartedly. My cat Frank loves it, too!😻

Almost perfect but has heating issues

Reviewed in the United States on June 14, 2019

Style: 14" FHD Non-Touch ScreenCapacity: 4 GB SDRAM, 32 GB eMMC StorageColor: Chalkboard GrayVerified Purchase

This chromebook was a big upgrade from my 6 year old chromebook but in one way it felt like taking a step back. My old chromebook for the same price point had a fan and never had overheating issues unless I really pushed it. This new style of chromebook however doesn't utilize fan cooling and claims that the new processor chips are created to not require anything beyond passive cooling by temporarily dropping the chip power if things get too hot.

This might work for people simply using the device as a document tool, but the world has shifted to streaming entertainment media and that is where this chromebook falls very short. While the chromebook has a 1080p screen it can only stream 1080p content for maybe 30 minutes before the chip is forced to scale down in power to help cool off. Doing this demolishes the chromebooks ability to stream content, causes lots of hitching and lagging, and makes you either turn the content down BELOW 720p to cool off or just stop streaming content altogether.

This is a big deal since a lot of people are going to want to stream at the resolution the screen is capable of.

Other than that the HP 14 works great.

This HP Chromebook is taking the place of a HP laptop with 2 gb of ram which was getting bogged down just about every time I used it. The Chromebook is very fast and the chrome os has not gotten bogged down once.

Perfect match perfectly priced

This is so far the best priced chrome book that I have purchased. I'm not an expert on these things and as a matter of fact as much as I love electronic gadgets we clash like oil and water. So bearing that in mind and strictly in my opinion I give it 5 stars because it is "simply" easy to use, yet it has the appearance of a high dollar device, if your into that, it fits in well anywhere you go. Thanks to hp for putting together a wonderful gadget!

So bought this for my son to watch Netflix, Hulu and prime. It was great. It sat on his desk for two years and it was awesome, he’d watch his movies on it when he had free time. One day he went to watch it and said it wouldn’t turn on. So I went to see what was wrong thinking it was a dead battery only to see it was plugged in. Told him to give it a minute, after 20-30 mins I tried to turn it on and nothing but black screen. Light on side says it’s charging but screen won’t do anything. For something that has been stationary and handled with care it should have lasted longer than two years. He only gets 2 hours max of screen time a day. Sucks. In the market for a new one if this can’t be fixed for a reasonable amount of money.

This is not a touch screen!

We love Chromebooks and ours got to the point where they were no longer supported or the software upgraded...so it was time to pick out some new ones. I did a lot of research and study on the different types and whether they were touch-screen or a tablet/laptop configuration etc, etc,
Then I went to C-Net and checked out the reviews and finally decided on the HP Chromebook. It is durable for mine and my wife's use and light enough to keep handy without having to constantly put it in a sleeve or carrying case.

died 8 months later

Update 9/24/2020 - died today - system freezes after one minute and goes to black screen. HP product support unable to help, I tried their online chat and they are unable to help. I put in my serial# and product code to no avail. super depressed - this plus covid plus wildfires - HP you really let me down.

Arrived today (1/8/2020) I ordered it after much research and perusal of reviews. It arrived and the first thought out of the box "huh, PLASTIC" says it has a plastic frame so it feels cheap. Opened it up and it is dead, needed to be charged so I waited 4 hours while it charged. Fully charged it searched for updates and downloaded for over 10 minutes. Next was quick and easy, loaded my google/chrome profile from my gmail sign in, and then it went black - no warning and stayed black while I tried everything to figure out why it was not turning on. Finally came back on. Then I noticed as it started to get super hot that THERE ARE NO VENTS. Well that explains the heat. On the plus side the keyboard is super. Still I am wondering if this was a bad purchase and knowing I have a short window to return it I am holding onto the boxes and packaging it came in.

Update Day 3: no more overheating, I am chalking it up to setup overload. This a a huge improvement of my awesome first chromebook 5 years ago. This one debuted June 2019 and currently Google has the OS set to expire summer of 2026 which for $210 is a great deal. I have 6-7 tabs running at anyone time without a slow down. A True HD picture. Super fast page load and a nice size screen. PLUS no worry about viruses - Priceless. LIG.

Day 8: Still going good. I will note the the battery life is 5 hours with the light on full bright. No more over heating.

My first Chromebook

Reviewed in the United States on September 16, 2021

Style: 14" HD Non-Touch ScreenCapacity: 4 GB SDRAM, 32 GB eMMC StorageColor: Chalkboard GrayVerified Purchase

My first Chromebook and I am quite pleased with the overall experience and what I can achieve with it

LIKE
1. It’s fast - considering the processor or it’s Geekbench 5 score:)
2. The sound quality is decent (the B&O brand may cost more than the entire product)
3. Keyboard and the typing experience are easy to get used to
4. Connection Ports - WOW with 2x USB A, 2x USB C & MicroSD that would be like a Swiss Army Knife usable anytime anywhere.
5. Battery charges quickly, lasts quite long & quiet since it does not have a fan.

DISLIKE
1. The screen - viewing angle shift and display colour left a lot to be desired
2. Trackpad - Scrolling is fine but clicking is seriously too firm
3. 32GB storage seriously? - Considering laptops with spinning hard drive back in Y2K have bigger storage (but I assume Chromebook user may choose to use external drive or cloud storage for proper work)
3. It gets quite Warm (only at the bottom) even when running small task

Well considering I purchased the Chromebook and delivered it 3/4 around the earth + Tax for USD$201 is quite a marvellous feat (and no where close to that price can I find it here in my country). Also the product is supported by Google until June 2026 now that is quite generous for the product of this price.

Be assured that the Chromebook will work with NTFS, FAT and all your normal peripherals by just plug and play (even my mouse with front & back button works just fine).

Conclusion: This Chromebook would make a perfect spare laptop at home or for once in a while presentation on external display as it looks like it could take some beating when compared to the more expensive Aluminium laptops.
