HP takes on the Google Pixelbook Go with its new premium Chromebook x360 14c. It’s cheaper and in many ways just as good<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chromebooks are often the kind of cheap and cheerful devices that you can use as a second laptop, give to your kids for homework or buy for older relatives that don\u2019t feel confident with computers. But, as ChromeOS is now a powerful platform, if you want to step up to a higher grade of hardware then there are a few you can choose from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Google\u2019s own Pixelbook Go is the company\u2019s vision of what a decent but affordable Chromebook should be, and now we have a similar benchmark from HP. Here\u2019s the full Tech Advisor review of the HP Chromebook x360 14c. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Design & Build
\nTaking the HP Chromebook x360 14c (or 14c-cc0003na to give it its laughably bad full name) out of the box reveals a very smart looking laptop. The Mineral Silver livery has a smoky look that\u2019s offset well by the chrome HP logo situated in the center of the lid. I have to say, the new design, which features four angled lines, looks quite cool and lends the x360 a futuristic air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is enhanced by the two rear vents on the base section, which have just a hint of a spaceship that\u2019s gotten lost and landed on my desk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
One slightly mystifying choice is the strip along the top of the lid, presumably there to give you grip when lifting the screen. At first, I thought it was a light similar to the one that appeared on my old Google Pixel C tablet, which you could tap to see how much battery charge was left. Sadly, this isn\u2019t the case, but if HP wants to add that in the future, then it already has the perfect place to put it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
