You may need this sort of performance from a Chromebook, and whether you're an enterprise customer or an individual with specific needs, you understand that it comes at a cost. Just know that you're not going to love the display even though you'll probably love everything else here.

Even if someone in HP’s target audience catches the Chromebook x360 14 G1 during one of the numerous deals on hp.com, or opts for the cheaper 2.3GHz Pentium 4415U processor, I still think the money would be better spent elsewhere. The weight, size, and general display issues all make this machine less versatile than other Chromebooks are, removing one of the main reasons why people gravitate toward them.

The HP Chromebook x360 14 G1 is an excellent, yet flawed, Chrome OS convertible. On one hand, it's one of the best Chromebooks I've used, simply because it has a Core i7 and 16GB RAM, along with a nice display and keyboard. On the other hand, it's missing some core features that I've come to expect from HP. There's no Sure View option, which is really strange for a business PC from the firm. And as I've talked about multiple times throughout this review, there's no pen support. I'd also like to have seen the Premium Collaboration Keyboard, and maybe even an option for 4G LTE. These are all key business features.

Almost as elegant as the company's EliteBooks, the HP Chromebook x360 14 G1 is a classy corporate 2-in-1 let down by a weak screen. The Core i3 config is worth checking out, but the Core i5 and i7 models are overkill.

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.
