Forgot about Kiwi! Though last I heard you can't sign into your Google account, so bookmarks, history, logins, etc. need to be manually imported to Kiwi. That also means there is no sync between other devices, which might be an important QOL thing for some people
Never said it was perfect Smilie.

But yes, you hit the nail on the head and Chrome would be much better if you actually use Chrome for all your needs... I hate what google has done but hate apple even more Smilie

OK... so the answer is... it is better in some aspects and not others. And please note that in Android, there is a app called Kiwi, it is open source full Chrome that you can also use the Chrome Book Addon Store and install things like ublock origin. So I no longer look at a Chromebook and say, BUT it uses full Chrome and yours does not.

The biggest advantage over Apple and Android is that the Chrome OS is considered more secure. So if you are doing banks, emails, buying online, dealing with your investments... the safest OS is Chrome OS. There is something to be said about this. Chrome OS gets the most updates (practically monthly).
Second biggest Advantage over Android is the longevity of OS updates. Apple also has longevity.

About hardware, nobody can beat apple. (Even though I am completely anti apple). Apple makes the fastest and most efficient CPU/GPU. And I personally recommend iPads if you like the apple OS. The thing with apple, their iPads offer amazing value but every other product is a complete rip off IMHO. And many people get a ipad and seem to want apple products afterwards because they get comfortable with the apple OS and things tend to work more often with apple. The bad about apple is that they block certain websites and apps from you (due to the potential of downloading illegal apps/movies/books/etc..), for example no Kodi and you can not get access to the pirate bay's website.

I personally really like Chromebook Tablet's and Android. This Chromebook Tablet is a Tablet first. After having screens crack due to small falls, all my tablets have a "foam" case with a handle that acts as a stand and if I would get this I would put the keyboard in draw and never use it. I also tend not to use my pen but perhaps my kid one day will want to. I own a Lenovo Chromebook Tablet and a Samsung Tab 8+ and a Fire Tablet 2019 10.1" and 8.4" Huawei M3 and M5 and a 8" Lenovo Tab 4. I also owned a ipad mini once. The point of this paragraph is... if you need a keyboard buy a device that has a keyboard but if you want a tablet this is an option. I would not buy this product if you want a device with a keyboard, remember this is a tablet first.

Limitations and issues of a Chromebook: So I really like Chromebooks and highly recommend them.
1. Most Chromebooks (I would think this one as well) runs Android 9 at 32bit in the background. So it comes with the android playstore but can only install apps that run 32bit Android 9. So apps like Call of Duty (play store only supports 64bit OS) is no longer available, current edition does not run on 32 bit OS. Only AMD and Intel CPU based Chromebooks have Android 64bit OS running in the background.
2. There is a learning curve with Chrome OS. Just beware that you may need to go to youtube and ask your questions.
3. Only Chromebook Tablets can install Gboard (keyboad), and I recommend you do so.
4. Widevine Level 1 support is only through the Chrome App, so if you want to stream in HD you need to go to www.netflix [www.netflix] or www. [www.]hula or www. [www.]amazon, etc... Downloading the app is useful if you download a movie for a plan but it will not be in HD quality. Also, if you don't download the android app you save hard drive space.
5. Many apps may not work or may not be available on the play store. But most are.
6. It hard to sideload an app (must keep tablet in developer's mode)... most people will never do this but some people like myself have a bunch of .apk files that they may want to install, if this is your case I would go for a Android.

Advantages of Chrome:
1. OS security
2. OS longevity
3. Linux
4. Chrome Browser
5. Powerwash feature (if you find your tablet is running slow, you can do a powerwash... it reinstalls your OS and reinstalls your apps and if you use Chrome for everything... everything is already backed up on line so when it finally reinstalls everything your tablet should run faster and it is as if you never did a reboot. And powerwash is quit fast for what it is.
6. No bloatware ever on a chrome book.. THIS IS HUGE
7. USB C to Hub on every Chromebook. So you can add additional monitors and USB C or A ports, etc... addons (keyboards, monitors, mouse, etc... ) seem to work on a Chromebook.

If you are a gamer you may or may not want a Chromebook. While Call of Duty does not work, there are Linux work arounds that you can follow on youtube and have it installed. But if you are looking for a tablet and your needs are pretty simple, a chromebook may be the way to go. And if you are a techie, and don't mind to figure out how to get something to work by watching youtube videos, a Chromebook is also a good option. the biggest issue is people are already use to Android and Appple and don't want to go to the website for their needs... again, the learning curve for Chrome OS.

As a Chromebook 11" tablet with these specs.... to me it is a no brainer, THIS IS AN AMAZING DEAL. What I love the most is that the manufacturer is out of the picture and all you updates come directly from Google.

Is 64GB of Hard drive space enough, I would have to say yes and it also has a Micro SD card for your media.

I highly recommend this Chromebook tablet and based on value, I don't see anything that comes close to this Chromebook Tablet... just remember, this is a tablet first.
1000% accurate in regards to this model, I was lucky enough to snag one from Swappa for $175 and knowing what it could and could not do it has turned into a favorite piece of everyday tech for me as a companion device either for my phone or primary computer.

Maybe the coupon was a hoax to get us to sign up for the newsletter. I'm still waiting.

Were all still waiting.

I don't know if it is a hoax, it was published in an article of a known website... I would have to think it is true.

This is HOT for $199.99.

Most likely the coupon will come after the sale is over.

Android Central is a blogging site that at times has editors post outdated things.

Not to mention the iphone kicks androids rear so traffic might be a little low.

Might as well not waste time.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank

Not sure if anyone got the code who signed up, because the email to claim the code was sent out on 4/28 and it was for the first 700 people. So if you weren't signed up before 4/28 or not one of the first 700, you will probably not get a code, unless they change the requirements.

Thanks for the disappointment.

But I don't think any codes have been given out as of yet. I can't find any code on ebay... surely someone will try to sell theirs. ​

Is this a better value proposition than the Acer 713 for $387?

This is a loaded question. One is a tablet and the other is a laptop.

What are you needs? Who is the product for? How will you use the product?

The 713 will have much better specs... AMD or Intel CPU but at the same time it may not have the battery life. The HP 11 Chromebook Tablet is a tablet first!!!!! So if you want a tablet go for the HP and if you want a laptop go for the Acer. Also the Acer has a bigger screen.

The only advantage I can see (besides specs) is that I believe that the Acer 713 will run Android 9 64bit version in the background (AMD and Intel cpu's) and the HP will run Android 9 32 bit in the back ground.

In my home we have two old laptops i5 and i7 3rd generation running Windows 10 and a bunch of tablets. We are a tablet family. At any given time you can see someone with their tablet and earphones on their bed using a tablet. So for me... I would get the HP but to each their own.

This is why I still got my Spin 713 i3, just by the specs it was better than this performance wise even though it's older. The i5 version for a little more than this one is a no brainer

The decision should not be based on specs but on your needs... Tablet vs Laptop. 11" screen vs 13.3" etc...

In the end, both products basically do the same thing.
