Very nice, well-built device. Trackpad clicks from the bottom or even torqued a bit, but seems a bit common for this type of keyboard.

Not the fastest speed but I overall liked it a lot! Compact, metal, fp reader, great screen with 3:2 ratio (though not OLED). I did return mine since I thought the speakers were too weak, even though forward facing.

Yeah that OLED is amazing... for me 16:9 or 16:10 ratio isn't an option for any device that will primarily be used as a tablet (for my use case), which is why I'm willing to overpay for this HP that has 3:2 screen ratio and so-so performance =/

I have one right now, got at Best Buy when it was $379 a few days ago, but I'm also planning to return it and wait for the 128 GB eMMC / 8 GB RAM LTE model at HP.com to drop in price a little. (That model was down to $459 just the other day, but is back up to $479 now. Either is too much IMO.)

The speakers seem fine to me, I guess it depends on how you're using it. I also saw that reviewers were pretty sharply divided on how they rated the speakers. Odd...

Why not just add SD card to yours for the other 64gb of storage

Oh man this is decent specs as I find it hard to find Chromebooks in $300 range. They are either the junk around $100 or really nice around $600. I just want to play with ChromeOS as an IT person as well as a gadget fan.

THAT said, I finally ordered the Lenovo 10e w/ the dock keyboard the other day. I wish it had 8gb of ram. Will see how bad it is. I also have been eyeing the Galaxy Chromebook with 4K OLED that's been as low as $380 with EPP.

Of course I don't need it at all. I already have an ultra portable Win 2-in-1 as well as various tablets and primary PC, but just want to play with ChromeOS, maybe primarily as a streaming and real Chrome browser device (this Chrome browser supports extensions right?).

No question that Lenovo is gunning for HP. When the X2 launched this price was competitive. Considering the Lenovo is selling for less, perhaps the only reason to even consider the HP at this price point is if you have a personal blood feud with Lenovo?

Good luck!

As an owner, the Galaxy Chromebook (first generation... though I also own a second generation model!) is a real joy to use overall, and the specs make running Android apps or Linux dead-simple (with the rare exception of ARM-specific Android apps; thanks Samsung Internet!). You will, however, have to fight with some settings/flags to keep screen brightness management at bay. (Assuming that ever bothers you enough)

I keep my HP Spectre and Samsung Galaxy Chromebook right next to each other, but call upon the Chromebook for fast browsing and YouTube (via browser) and the experience is top notch. The Windows laptop gets called up whenever I need to work in the Microsoft ecosystem. Although I don't use Netflix on either laptop, I'd note that technically the Windows laptop would be my choice since 4k would be an option.

Good luck!

Yeah, you're right, the main reason I want that model is for the LTE. HP.com has only a 4 / 64 and 8 / 128 with or without LTE. The 8 / 64 combo (which is Wifi only) seems to be a Best Buy exclusive.

Thanks, yeah battery life isn't too much a concern these days but my still-going Dell Venue 11 Pro (very old) w/ 10.8in 1080p screen, 8gb ram, older i5 w/ 256 eMMC is still going strong and I think even Win11 compatible unlike my also aging Dell Precision T3500 where the Xeon is now too old.

I was always interested in Chromebook and my boss gave me one of the original Google Chromebooks that was broken and I managed to get it to boot but still had issues. I needed Windows ultra portable for a car tuning software I needed but I sold that car so my reason for ultra portable "Winbook" is gone. I love the Google ecosystem mostly.

So Chrome OS has a REAL Chrome web-browser with extension support and ability to multi-task apps with a "dock" at bottom if I recall? Is the OS in parallel with Android OS? (Last I had was Android 11 on Pixel 3, but had to switch to iOS for Carplay in new car).

FYI, as it was hard for me to find the proper SKUs/model numbers:

Best Buy only
11-da0023dx 8GB RAM / 64GB eMMC Wifi-only Night Teal w/ stylus included
11-da0013dx 8GB RAM / 64GB eMMC Wifi-only Shade Gray w/ stylus included

HP.com only
11-da0097nr 4GB RAM / 64GB eMMC LTE* Night Teal w/ stylus not included
11 da0047nr 8GB RAM / 128GB eMMC LTE* Shade Gray w/ stylus not included

*Review sites claim that these SKUs have LTE, while random HP reps who I've chatted with seem to deny it. They may just be clueless, not sure. If I ever do order it, it'll probably be from HP's official eBay store rather than HP.com since there's no restocking fee on eBay and they pay return shipping.

This is a really odd machine. The build quality is terrific, especially on sale at this type of price point, but I personally found the performance to be brutally slow. I get what kind of device this is and I know it isn't fair to compare it to something high-end, but there's just so many odd and uncomfortable spots where the device seemed to "hang" when opening or closing pages, loading apps, etc. Just oddly sluggish and I found that to be really irritating, more so than on the Chromebook Duet for instance.

Chrome browser extensions are indeed still an option, though I personally find myself using fewer and fewer as Google extends the functionality of both Chrome itself and the underlying ChromeOS experience. More importantly, you can also run additional browsers (which I do via Android and Linux). This gave me the flexibility to run my Chrome in an aggressive dark mode configuration (ideal for the OLED and my own preferences) but fall back to bog-standard Mozilla for sites which balk at my settings (Micro Center, for one).

Chrome OS runs Android in a sandbox/Virtual Machine, but the VM is shared across all Android apps (so be careful/safe!). Linux also runs in a dedicated VM.

Good luck!

Your comment here just made me realize that Christmas 2025 [theverge.com] is either going to be a banner year for Chromebook sales or Microsoft is going to need to figure something out regarding their Windows support/upgrade policies.

Good luck!
