The Chromebook x360 14 is a difficult laptop to review. On one hand, the Chromebook does so many things right, offering an outstanding keyboard, long battery life and very fast performance. And yet, it's hard for me to recommend the Chromebook x360 14 because of its price, which borders on absurd. That price would be easier to swallow if the Chromebook x360 14's display weren't dimmer and less vivid than most budget laptops we test.

If you can’t tell, I’m a fan of the HP Chromebook x360. Other than the average speakers, this thing just does everything you want. It is fast. It is attractive. It is portable. It has a great screen. It has outstanding battery life. It is built well. It is convertible.

With the new Chromebook x360, HP appears to be further exploring the convertible Chromebook midrange landscape -- potentially fertile territory. The x360 offers considerably more than other convertibles in the $200 to $400 range and it's hundreds of dollars less expensive than Microsoft's new Surface Pro 6 or either of Apple's iPad Pros. Stay tuned: We'll make a more decisive assessment once we spend some time with a review unit.

Model: The HP Chromebook x360 14-da0021nr is a slim and stylish Chromebook. It is aimed for users who take great advantages of Google’s ecosystem. With a modern look and feel, plus four unique modes, this slim PC is designed for users to do everything. Despite being a lower price range device, the laptop features a unique Advanced Electrodeposition (AED) finish, which looks like a matte ceramic finish. It is a great attempt by HP to produce an affordable yet sturdy and beautiful finishing. The company claims that it is designed to show off, and the finishing certainly stands out. HP claims that Chromebook X360 14 is its thinnest convertible Chromebook at only 0.63 inch in thickness. The 360-degree hinge on the HP Chromebook x360 14 lets it function as a tablet or in other modes. Keyboard and touchpad are also interesting. The HP Chromebook x360 14 comes with a 3D stamped cloud-blue color aluminium backlit keyboard, as well as a diamond-cut touchpad. As for performance, the Chromebook is powered by an Intel Core i3-8130U with 2.2 GHz base frequency and up to 4 GHz frequency with Intel Turbo Boost Technology, integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620, 8 GB DDR4-2400 SDRAM and 64 GB eMMC storage, which features fast processing and boot time.

The technical specification of the Chromebook is considered medium to high for a Chromebook. However, users are not expected to storage large sized files on the Chromebook, such as movies or video editing files. Chromebook users are expected to stream media online and make full use of cloud storage instead. Users can take advantage of the two years of complimentary 100 GB of Google Cloud storage to store photos and document if they purchase this Chromebook. HP features Bang & Olufsen speakers to deliver custom tuning of the dual speakers for a rich, authentic listening experience. For an optimal viewing experience, the device features a 14-inch FHD touch display with an ultra-thin bezel (7.5 mm). The Chromebook x360 also comes with a broad array of ports for connectivity, including 2 USB Type, 1 USB Type A 3.1, a microSD port, and audio jacks (in/out). The Chromebook x360 has up to 14 hours of battery life, pretty decent to last all day using it. As a conclusion, the HP Chromebook x360 is not a basic budget Chrome browsing machine. HP has delivered a Chromebook aimed for more experienced Chromebook users who are willing to pay more for a better performing Chromebook to take full advantage of Google’s ecosystem.

Intel UHD Graphics 620: Integrated GPU (GT2, 24 EUs) found on some Kaby-Lake-Refresh CPU models (15 W ULV series). Technically identical to the previous Kaby-Lake GPU called HD Graphics 620.

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.

HP: Founded in 1939, the US company is a major server and printer manufacturer and one of the leading IT companies in the world. Until 2015, the company was called Hewlett-Packard Company. After a split, the computer division was renamed HP Inc.

In 2023, HP had an approximate market share of 22% of global PC sales, making it number 2 after Lenovo.

70%: 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.
