Model: The HP Chromebook 14 G3 is a budget-friendly device with solid performance. Many people were eager to try out the device when it was announced due to the combination of on-board hardware and price tag. Design is kept functional with the silver chassis made of plastic keeping the overall weight low at just 1.72 kg. The slim profile also contributes to a highly portable machine and the HP Chromebook 14 G3 comes with a chiclet style keyboard with good typing ergonomics.

Running on Google Chrome OS, the device sports an Nvidia Tegra K1 CD570M-A1 processor clocked at 2.1 GHz, 4 GB DDR3L SDRAM, a NVIDIA Kepler GPU and a 16 GB SSD for internal storage. Display on the HP Chromebook 14 G3 is a 14 inch HD WLED backlit anti-glare panel. Admittedly, resolution and sharpness could be better but it doesn’t take away from the overall experience of using the device. Other features on the HP Chromebook 14 G3 are Bluetooth 4.0, a USB 3.0 port, two USB 2.0 ports, a 720p HP TrueVision HD webcam, and a MicroSD card reader. Battery life on the Chromebook lasts a solid 7 hours depending on the usage.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.

The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.

80%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
