it's all about personal preference. The other one is a 'laptop' chromebook. Most importantly it has a better processor. It has a larger SSD by 2x. That's the better one for my use case.
But, if someone wants the flexibility of a convertible / 2-in-1 to use it as a tablet / tent setup to watch movies, etc... Then this one would be great. Plus this one has Gorilla Glass. That's a huge plus.
Both are great units, but I personally would prefer the Costco setup for how I use Chromebooks in my lineup - a quick surfing device that sits near the couch/kitchen.

But yes, 8GB is much faster than 4GB. Plus the switch to eMMC to SSD will help too. I'm also assuming yours has a Celeron / Mediatek processor vs this Intel i3.
The other ones in this ~$300-$350 price range I've seen are the Lenovo Flex 5i coming Monday @ Costco for $349 (w 4 year Costco credit card warranty) and the refurbished 2020 Spin 713 from Acer for ~$361 (w 90 day warranty plus whatever your credit card gives you).
Which do you go with? Keep in mind neither is local to inspect first, all shipping. . .

As for Excellent versus Certified, I'm in the camp as always "just" Excellent.
Thinking about this more, I almost got one too, to try this model, but looks like only Certified remains. Still an good deal, but not quite the same deal IMHO (I know, it's only $20, but SD blood here). Otherwise, I don't think this is a great deal New with the similar Costco deal (even not having Costco myself).
I'll inspect it when it arrives, but I think it will be a great Christmas gift for my dad who really only needs a Chromebook to sit on the couch and surf, email, etc.
Someone earlier mentioned a battery stress test.... can you give me some info on that and how to do it? Thanks!

Looks like all of the open box options are gone now....

Summary: I wouldn't buy at $450, but anything under $325 is a steal for the hardware. Thanks for posting!

The HP Chromebook is a little newer. Does it have other things going for it?
