Bang for the Buck!

Update after using for 6 months.

Works very well. No issues. Chrome OS has grown on me. All the deficiencies I felt might hamper productivity have now been proven wrong. The Chromebook still boots up in seconds and no issues of lag were noticed. Android apps and PWAs from the Playstore make everyday use simple.

Original Review – My first Chromebook purchase. I wasn’t sure how the shift from windows is going to be. But Chrome OS is great – quick, smooth, safe, and very light on processor and battery.

So the HP Chromebook 14a looks very premium in the silver color and it’s extremely light to carry around. The battery lasts for around 12 hours which seems unbelievable but it’s true.

I have used it for office work with Google docs and video conference calls and also for streaming movies. Does everything quite easily.

It’s been more than 2 months of using this and I can easily recommend HP CHROMEBOOK 14A for anyone looking to buy a laptop in the 25-30k price bracket. I got it under 25k during a deal and I feel it’s absolutely BANG FOR THE BUCK!!

Don’t miss just mind-blowing

It’s a mind-blowing purchase, At the very little cost you are getting a great quality product performance is mind-blowing looks are mind-blowing and if we compare it with the MacBook air it is giving a tough competition to it and chrome OS is mind-blowing no lags know and complexity it is very easy to use and you have to think beyond Windows because windows constantly having a problem like viruses lags crashing and all less battery backup but it has a battery backup of 12 hours, Believe in my words you would never regret if you have basic expectation With a mobile phone or laptop this is a wonderful device I recommend all an Amazon is wonderful and very helpful.

A solid entry-level Chromebook

Okay, as a tech enthusiast, I’ve been looking for a Chromebook for a while and after doing some research, I narrowed it down to this.

Firstly, the delivery was the same day, which I didn’t want to believe to be fair, but it happened

A few things to keep in mind before you buy a Chromebook, in general, is that they are not your windows or Mac devices. Although the functionality of the devices will be limited, these are still quite capable devices.

Coming to this particular device, What I love about this:

The keyboard is surprisingly better than I was expecting at this price point

It is a touch screen which I might not use but will come in handy for most people

the trackpad is decent

battery life is great

There is a bit of a learning curve but you will enjoy the device

Cons

The screen isn’t full HD

Build quality is plastic, good plastic, but plastic nonetheless

Overall, this Chromebook can be a daily use laptop for many people who are looking for Web Browsing, WFH, and Basic task.

Please don’t expect this Chromebook to run premiere pro or photoshop. And please don’t look at things it can’t do look at things that it can.

Good Product with some cons but better than other laptops in this segment.

I have been using it for 4 months, it’s my secondary device.

pros:

1. Good battery life
2. Touch is good, better not to use because it is not convertible
3. Good keyboard
4. HD+ good screen
5. Simple OS
6. Boots in 5 seconds
7. Good speakers
8. Charges in 1 hour
9. Brightness is good
10. Updates are frequent.

Cons:

1. The white balance of the screen is different in different angles
2. No backlit keyboard
3. Camera is average
4. The processor can handle simple games (like alto’s odyssey) from the play store or simultaneously run 6 apps or 25 tabs in chrome over that you will face lag
5. The laptop is a bit heavier.

This is an affordable laptop, for basic needs

Does the job. You can consider this entry-level laptop for basic needs, online study, communication, attending meetings, simple school, college projects, watching movies on average quality screen, reading books, etc

You get what you paid for and don’t complain after you start using it. But having said that, it does exactly what it’s meant and priced for. Used for 9 months. Doesn’t take time to learn if you are an Android phone user already.

And it’s used by someone with zero knowledge of Macs or Windows. So you can imagine how easy it is to use.

Buy of you are looking for an entry-level laptop. Touchscreen for senior citizens, or those who are not computer savvy. Makes their life a lot easier and they won’t complain. It makes them proud to be on their own and being a Laptop or we can say Tablet. 😉

My experience after 2 days of usage

Pros

1. Boots within 5 seconds (I bet u might have never seen anything like this before)
2. “Ok Google” assistant like Siri
3. Easy access like an android mobile phone
4. Don’t be fooled this is not a tab, can access all android apps. Some inbuilt paid apps are available for free.
5. Gives a MacBook-like feel, fast charging, and superb battery.
6. Best for business travelers, presentation speakers, online teaching, learning, browsing.

Cons

1. Less storage capacity (usable is around 45GB only) but online cloud storage is available
2. Meant only for document typing and browsing purposes, with nothing much you can expect other than watching movies.
3. It’s all Google and Google only.
4. Beginners will find it a bit difficult to use this. Needs a bit of practice.
5. No LAN port is available. Only wifi.

A compromised experience

1. Build quality is bad in general, plastic. There are MIL-tested variants out there for the same price. The screen is wobbly and the machine is not built for a drop.
2. Speakers begin to screech at high volumes.
3. Other NA series models had back-lit keyboards.

I bought this without verifying. My bad. But for a non-backlit keyboard, the design is bad and the letters are not visible. I’m going to need to find stickers.

4. The trackpad works great.
5. The screen is mediocre.
6. The battery lasts all day as the processor has low power consumption. Overall performance is as predicted.

A worthless piece in the name of a laptop

Do not fall into the trap of buying this product, this is HP’s conspiracy to dump an inferior product in the name of a chrome book. Ideally, windows laptops are supposed to be expensive because of the payout for the OS & hence Chrome books are supposed to be cheaper. In spite of this arrangement, this laptop feels cheaper than a 25k windows laptop with probably a bigger screen. My mistake of trusting a brand like HP blindfolded. Not to mention the pain of dealing with a defective product on top of it.

Chromebook is not a matured product yet

Chromebook is not a matured product yet. Many apps which work on Android devices don’t get installed on Chromebooks or don’t work similarly to Android devices. This gap should be fixed by Google Play Store otherwise it’s a waste of investment on Chromebook ideology. Also, the keyboard missing the delete button. I’m now using it for a few months and there are already a lot of bugs in Chrome OS like it keeps auto right clicking all the time rendering the laptop unusual, rebooting multiple times helps pause this issue for some time. The product seems not properly tested before releasing.
