HP Chromebook x360 14 G1

Almost as elegant as the company's EliteBooks, the HP Chromebook x360 14 G1 is a classy corporate 2-in-1 let down by a weak screen. The Core i3 config is worth checking out, but the Core i5 and i7 models are overkill.

The HP Chromebook x360 14 G1 is an excellent Chromebook if price is not a factor. However, there are better value Chromebook and convertibles out there for those businesses and educational institutions that are more price conscious.

The HP Chromebook x360 14 G1 is a big, fast, and fancy laptop for power users. But it’s too big and heavy to work well as a convertible, and its display and storage are surprisingly basic for the price.
