Delivered 10 mins ago. Quick run down. So I'm comparing it to my Dell Chromebook 13 7310 which is considered a pretty good Chromebook even today.

1st- The x360 14c is a 14 inch screen and is smaller than my 13" Dell. Its side bezels are so thin. The top is a little bigger and the bottom bezel which is huge on most chromebooks is small also. So much screen real-estate. So happy with that
2nd- HP i3 10th gen, Dell i3 5th gen. Octane score HP - 37484 , Dell - 16253. Open tabs is so quick. Not that the Dell was slow but the fractions of a second can be seen side by side. I'm sure anything intensive this will eat up
3rd- Keyboard and touchpad. Dells keyboard was great and this one is really nice too. The backlit keys are much brighter than the Dells at full brightness. Each actual key the HP is slightly bigger which is I like as well. The touchpad is like 50 percent bigger on the new HP. So everything there is great. There is more light bleed on the HP from the keys on a very low angle, if you had it on your lap laying in bed. If you look from the top like you would at a desk there is no light bleed
4th- speakers. The Dells are not good, they fire downward and are not loud. With a AC running I have trouble hearing talking sometimes. These are slightly better. Get a little louder and are clearer but its probably cause they are upward firing. I wouldn't call either of them good, nothing like a Galaxy Tab 6 with 4 stereo speakers. Still the HP is a slight upgrade over my Dell

Now for the big part the display. I do see what people mean but it doesn't get that bright. Its hard to describe comparing it to my Dell. So the Dell gets brighter, not much but brighter. But the Dell is almost washed out at its max brightness. Whites look whiter on the Dell, like a brighter white. Whites look slightly darker/greyer on the HP. Blacks though look blacker on the HP. HP screen is super glossy so there are reflections everywhere. I'm going to have to play around with it more but I'm 99% sure I'm going to keep it even without the screen being the best. Its good enough for me and every other feature is great.

Some other stuff. Build quality is great, everything feels like its metal. Finger printer reader is a nice gimmick. Tried a youtube video in 60fps 4k just to see if it would run, it was super smoother. My Dell can't even run 4k 60fps, it just freezes. Not that I would every run a 4k video on a 1080p screen but just shows it capable. Not sure exactly but text is easier to read on the HP at max brightness, might be because it doesn't get as bright. The HP at minimum brightness is nice and dark, my Dell at minimum is still too bright to read in a pitch black room at night.

Tonight I'll watch some netflix to see how the screen does that. But I can see if you work by a window how or in very bright lighting this might not be for you, but even then I don't think its terrible, maybe not excellent like every other spec on this laptop

Tried to take some pics to compare. But I don't think they can really show the difference.

Love the small bezels. Tablet mode is cool but 14 inches is huge. If anyone has any specific questions let me know, I'll try to answer them.

Just ordered. So much misinformation in this thread - disappointing for slickdeals. Need a way to flag and remove all of the "I've owned this chromebook for a year and blah blah blah" type posts. Also the people just blatantly misquoting specs.......214 nit screen? Not IPS? Fanless? Where are people getting this wrong info from?

Awesome
x360 touch screen, backlit keyboard with i3 and 8 gigs ram. Premium Chromebook specs imo. Just wondering about the brightness, can't seem to find it anywhere.

This is a chrome book. So it's for a specific use. And it does great for what it's meant for. These things are quick and nicely built. Just my thoughts. As far as the headphones I did see these on clearance for about 59 or 69 so kinda not the best free gift.

I'm seeing the Chromebook for $499. Where's the $100 off coupon?

Edit: never mind. its small on mobile but there's a little checkbox below the price to apply it. great find on the Chromebook alone op. i3 10th gen, 8GB, full HD IPS screen...

Great find! I've been eyeing this HP Chromebook for the last several days but hesitated to buy due to the price point. It's a win for $400!

Never mind. I had to go to the $100 off student deal in order to see it. Doesn't show when going from free headphones link

Do these Chromebooks have the same issue many models of HP laptops have/had where the border casing around the screen would literally just pop out and fall apart due to crappy hinges?

Not a bad laptop, I had one for a bout a year, very nice keyboard and trackpad, battery lasts more than a full day and plenty of power and RAM for a chromebook.
Only two downsides where it was a little heavy, and the screen a bit dull.

I don't remember the i3, 8GB version ever being $300, I think $350 was been the lowest.

Just what I was looking for. 8GB is very difficult to find at this price. The reviews say the screen is not very bright, so hopefully it is not too bad.

I thought this was the 12dx model (14-DA0012DX) that I bought last winter but it looks like a new variation with fingerprint reader and updated processor (10110u vs 8130u).
