Does all that’s it’s intended to do!
Overall I would say if you are ok with an average/sub-par display then this will not disappoint you!! it’s extremely portable and easy to use for students/elders – does all the usual stuff like browsing, going through apps, web calls, etc. It’s not for hardcore work (coding/video editing, number-crunching using ms office / high-end windows softwares)
Pros
– Compact form factor.
It- Decent Built Quality, it’s plastic but does not feel cheap.
– Awesome battery life (10-13 hrs), mostly performs better than my phone and windows laptop.
– Fast Charging (45 mins, 0 to100%), 45W Charger which is USB type C, and not like the usual bulky laptop chargers.
– Specs are decent enough to support the OS, Apps, and all rest of the functionality, the laptop is quick to load and takes almost everything u throw at it without really stuttering.
– I think it’s far better than a tab with the option of working as a full laptop and convertible to a tab that can do landscape/portrait modes like a charm.
– Awesome backlit keyboard feels way better than most of the windows ones in this price, also the keyboard gets disabled when rotated so no issues on keys getting pressed while in tab mode.
– Liked the color options on this – it’s matt finish and looks more expensive than it’s the price!
Cons
– Was very disappointed with the display, it’s below average (extremely bad viewing angles, it’s not an FHD screen). I do not think the display is justified at this price range (31K). This for me was the biggest con – and honestly, i am even thinking of returning it just for this one issue, we need to keep changing the angles in sunlight while in tab mode to read a newspaper/article.
– Maybe i have not figured this one yet, but when in tab mode if it goes idle – it does not come back on unless bought into laptop mode.
– Speakers are below average, they are loud – but not clear (again thy could do better at this price)

Exceptional performance, though a bit pricey
Before you purchase this, decide whether you can make do with a Chromebook else you should go for a lower-end laptop.
Performance, Looks, and Build Quality are excellent. I was pleasantly surprised with how well it performs given the internals. I’m personally biased towards AMD processors and this time as well AMD did not disappoint.
Performance in the converted tablet mode is also good, albeit the 16:9 ratio on a 14-inch screen does require some getting used to. All in all, this was a good decision for my use case

Super Product & Concept
Almost all functions used in normal laptops can also be used in Chromebooks. Simple & Best for home & office use. For this price, the value of the product is high.
Do not know about gaming capabilities yet.
Pros:
1) Instant Boot up.
2) Instant shut down.
3) Touch screen.
4) Lightweight (1.49 Kgs).
5) MS office (For Android) from the play store can be used.
6) As an easy free alternative – Since Google have almost all applications, such as Google Docs, Google Sheets, Google Slides, etc. we won’t feel any limitations when compared to a normal laptop.
7) Classic look.
8) Have 4 layers of security.
Cons:
1) Disk storage 64 GB only. But the cloud can be used for storage further.

Everything regular user could ask for
It’s a good device and we’ll build for its price. No, if you are hesitant if comparing to the non-foldable version of chrome book. Don’t be it has fewer numbers of rating because it was recently launched. It works great, hasn’t shown any lag, and the touch screen is also responsive. For the price, all these features are good especially if u r comparing to the lower segment of windows laptops priced in the same range. Go for it you won’t regret it.

This product is worth it.
Amazing laptop
Battery life once fully charged worked for the whole day.
Touch is also good.
Speakers are very good volume is loud and clear.
The camera is ok.
Keyboard is awesome
The overall best option in this range if you want both laptop and tablet. The flip is also good.
It is a must-buy.

Incompatibility with some printers
The product is very good, boots up in 10 seconds, and is easy to work with. The serious problem I am facing is compatibility with my HP printer (Laserjet M1136 MFP). Apparently, HP has not bothered to produce a Driver for this model of printer to be able to be configured with Chrome OS, although over 150 other types of HP printers are configurable. On top, the HP center’s problem-solvers were simply clueless. Sad state of extreme deficiency of service. Incidentally, this printer was bought in 2017 end, whereas, my other printer was bought in the USA in 2016 beginning, they have a driver for it for set up. Hopefully, HP engineers will deal with this.

Pathetic
Please do not waste your money buying this product, I got it with a lot of excitement but only after 2 days of delivering and started using it started hanging in the middle of work and it was impossible for it to get fixed soon. I waited thinking it was a new one and it might be not something serious. But even after a week of use, it is still the same. If you are in an urgent meeting this product will surely put that at a stake as after some time people will stop hearing you. Most of the time even Wi-Fi connections go and come back which I never faced before this laptop.

There are better options
Classy product, sleek design, easy to carry. Best for the budget.
It is not meant for creative works like graphic design, video editing, or gaming. You can still do all those, but the UI is not very good. Low RAM doesn’t help either. Maybe okay for beginners who are worried about the expense.
Best for: Students
Useful for office work.
Battery life is good so far. Heats up a little, but that’s expected if your network is poor or if you run applications that require high performance. Poor camera quality. Screen quality is just okay.
If you’re here looking for a Chromebook (that means you accept that it is limited to certain features and completely depends on the network) then you can consider buying this.
I would suggest buying a screen protector along with it.
Edited: I suggest looking for other Chromebooks and keeping this as a last resort. There are better options for the same price.

No slot for the memory card as advertised by Amazon
As detailed in the specifications there is no slot available on the machine for expanding the memory by 256GB. No feedback yet! Moreover, they won’t publish the feedback even after 3 days! Maybe till the free replacement period expires. They won’t respond

HP service is the worst
The charger for the laptop is not working and I complained to HP the customer person said he has raised my request as dead on arrival. I should have returned the whole laptop and replaced it as I thought the charger is the only problem let me replace it only that I got into trouble.
Update
I got my charger replaced now
