Those who are really wed to the $659 list price might also consider Lenovo’s Flex 5 Chromebook. Its Core i3 SKU is currently listed at $564.99. This device has an equally sturdy build to the 14c and performs just as well, but it’s still much lighter and has a keyboard and touchpad that I much prefer. It’s more of a toss-up between these two, a fact which ultimately showcases how great of a deal the Spin 713 is. With all that said, I like what HP has done here. It’s made a device that looks and feels much nicer than all kinds of other devices you’ll encounter in the upper echelons of the Chromebook market. I like that the camera, microphones, and speakers — often neglected in laptops across the board — have clearly gotten significant investment. I think the 14c is only a few tweaks away from being a great laptop — but those are important tweaks, and it’s not quite there yet. I don’t think it offers a better-value package than other Chromebooks you can buy. There are just too many things that competitors do better.

Model:
It is undeniable that since its first appearance in 2014, the HP Chromebook x360 has been a great educational device for its student audience. However, this time around, HP has decided to come up with something more than just a student-friendly device. In terms of its design, the build quality of the HP Chromebook x360 14c did not differ that much from its predecessor, the Chromebook x360 14a. To be more specific, both the devices have an aluminium chassis and a plastic base. This model is only available in a single colour which is the mineral silver. The colour totally compliments the new ‘hp’ metallic logo at the center of the lid. There is also a ‘Chromebook’ text and cyclical logo on the top left edge of the lid. Apart from that, when the laptop is closed, it has a magnet holding the lid and laptop deck together. Therefore, the laptop can only be lifted with both hands, one to hold the lid and one to hold the keyboard. Well, the magnetic hold might be HP’s way of making this convertible a durable one to avoid it flipping unnecessarily. Speaking of which, this laptop comes with 360° hinges, which simply means that this Chromebook goes all the way around. It can also be set in all the modes, be it in tablet, tent, or presentation mode.
On the device’s exterior, there are sufficient ports on both sides. On the right side, there is a microSD card reader, a headphone jack, a USB Type-C port, and a USB Type-A port. While on the left side, there is a USB Type-C port, a power button, a volume rocker, and the webcam privacy switch. The webcam privacy switch is a little switch on the side of this Chromebook which deactivates the camera. This simply means that the camera can be turned off while on a video call but the microphone will still be active. There is also a light indicator beside the webcam to indicate whether it is on or off. Exactly below the camera is a 14-inch Full HD (1920 x 1080) touch screen display. This display is basically an IPS (in-plane switching) display screen for viewing bright colours at whichever angles a device is in. This panel is particularly relevant for this device since it can be turned to different angles. In addition to its display, the HP Chromebook x360 14c is definitely brighter than the previous 12-inch model as it has 250 nits of brightness as compared to 220 nits of brightness in the previous model. In terms of its processor, this device has been equipped with the 10th gen Intel Core i3-10110U with a memory size of 8GB RAM and 64GB eMMC storage. As for the graphics card, this model comes with Intel UHD Graphics. In terms of its battery, this laptop has been incorporated with a 3-cell, 60.9 Wh Li-ion polymer battery with approximately 14 hours of battery life, as claimed by the company. Overall, it is a great device to be explored, depending on the need and preference of the user.
