Archive.org versionThe HP Chromebook x360 12b is a good fit for people who want something affordable, but also noticeably nicer than what kids might use in school. It’s small, light, and versatile, and even comfortable to work on for long periods. I also know I’m going to miss the display’s 3:2 aspect ratio when I go back to a wider-screen laptop.

Archive.org versionLisa Gade reviews the 12” HP Chromebook x360, also available in a 14” size. This Chromebook has a classy looking chassis, 360 degree convertible design and a 3:2 aspect ratio touch screen with pen support all for $359. It has a dual core Celeron N4000 processor, IPS HD+ display, USB-C and a microSD card slot. Since it’s a Chromebook, it can also run Android apps and the Google Play Store is pre-installed. If you’re looking for a well-made budget laptop for home schooling, streaming, Google Docs and web, it’s worth a look.

Archive.org versionHP's Chromebook x360 12b is a handsome compact convertible that falls short of excellence due to a murky screen and leisurely CPU.

Archive.org versionIt’s evident the Chromebook x360 12b is the middle child in HP’s newest Chromebook family, and that gives rise to some inevitable confusion in its identity and placement. The costlier Chromebook x360 comes with better performance (thanks to a Core i3/i5 chip), a clearer display (with Full HD resolution), and a much nicer touchpad (with smoother tracking and keyboard backlighting). It’s what you should get for full-blown Chromebook computing. What this 12-incher borrows from it, then, are the stylish finish, backlit keyboard, and ‘convertible’ display. In other words, the little Chromebook x360 12b inherits the looks and flexibility.

Archive.org versionI have been blessed with a job where I get to play with some of the most exciting and powerful laptops, and speak about them in depth to you. The experience with the HP Chromebook x360 12b has been as joyous any of the exciting RGB toting gaming laptops I have used - only in a slightly different way. The Chromebook x360 12b is an amazing computer for work and entertainment on the go. Chrome OS is well optimised and that means you get a fluid user experience in a laptop that's cheap. The OS is restricted to a few functions but if ticks all those boxes that you seek to be completed, then it's a joy to use.

Archive.org versionDoes it make sense to invest in a Chromebook that is priced in the vicinity of Rs 30,000? HP tries to make a case for its new Chromebook X360. But can it fight off its Windows-laden brethren at similar price points?

This is a standard display format for tablet computers or small convertibles. You see more on the screen than on a smartphone but you can't use big resolutions well. On the other hand, mobility is not a problem.

In 2023, HP had an approximate market share of 22% of global PC sales, making it number 2 after Lenovo.
72%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
