HP_Chromebook Latest Laptop with Intel Celeron N3350 Processor, 4GB RAM, 32GB eMMC Flash Memory, 802.11ac, Bluetooth, USB-C 3.1, Chrome OS-Bundled with Wireless_Mouse and 32GB Flash Drive

For $250 youd be hard pressed to find a better deal. This new HP is loaded with "junkware" and thats why the price is so low. Right out of the box do a Windows 10 System Refresh by hitting Update & Security > Recovery. Click or tap the “Get Started” button under “Reset this PC.” This will remove all the CPU sucking junkware and youll be left with a bare-bones operating system that runs perfectly. Just add your software and its like a $800 machine. Case is awesome, very lightweight, sleek and track pad is solid. Speakers are above average when sitting on a hard surface and with headphones it sounds great. Screen resolution is perfect for HD movies. Battery life is about 4.5 hours with continual use. Its well designed and for half the price of a mobile phone its a solid 5 stars.

Updated out of existence. I guess I get the picture. It updates nonstop until it’s so slow as pondwater. Spend more money it’s not even good for a student.

Ive used this laptop for several months now and I just love it. It loads quickly and has everything I need for my home use. The display is crisp and bright. Its been a very good buy.

Just purchased this computer and at first the CPU was constantly at 100% and in the red. Now for the price this computer has a relatively good CPU. This CPU has a benchmark of around 2600 which for the lay person a benchmark is a way to rate CPUs/Processors. Most computers in this price range have a CPU benchmark under 1000 and the higher the benchmark the better. This computer comes with bloatware pre-installed which slows down the computer and fills up the processor to 100%. After some work this computer is now running great with the CPU holding mostly at around 39% and startup time is at 42 seconds now compared to more than a minute and a half right out of the box. Heres what i did. First I downloaded "PC Decrapifier." This tells you which programs on the computer are not necessary and which ones are and recommends which ones to be deleted.... for example one of the unnecessary programs was "Tangent" games. After that i downloaded "advanced system tools free" and scanned and cleaned the computer and then in that program went to "startup" programs and chose to run only the necessary programs to run upon startup. I added two 8gb ram sticks to bring the total ram to 16gb which was very tricky but there is a YouTube video on it and now the computer is running great. So that being said the computer is functioning very well for the price paid with a relatively decent processor. The end!

So many features for the price. I had been holding out because i didnt want to lose Windows 7, Windows 10 is not that much different and this HP is loaded with just about, or more, technology than the Dell I paid $2000 for 7 years ago!

Excellent laptop for the price. Everything functions quite well. The specs are in two places. One never mentions Bluetooth, the other, says NO. No Bluetooth in this model laptop so you cant connect to external speakers. The Product specs should have NO Bluetooth in Bold print. Other than that, excellent!

Overall Im happy with my purchase. Its not the fastes laptop Ive ever owned but it does the job, the resolution is okay and the sound quality is great. I bought it as a secondary PC for work mostly and it will serve its purpose perfectly fine. I love the design, its thinner than I was expecting, it comes with optical drive, the keyboard is excellent as its actual full size, you know with the number pad included .Is perfect for the price!!. I do have to complain about the power button position, Ive found myself turning the laptop off instead pressing the escape key.

Edit: The fan is messed up already - when I turn it on it rattles forever and stays loud the entire time Im using it. Its also very slow - and I removed bloatware and have zero programs installed (this is for the internet only) and just opening, say, Paint takes forever. This computer randomly shuts down once a day. Its not overheating (its used on a cooling fan stand) and the settings are all okay. It did this a few days after I got it, and it does it every single day I use it. I am not running any games or anything on it - I use it solely for internet browsing and occasionally a Word document. I bought another (near-identical) HP the same weekend I ordered this, from Walmart, and it does the exact same thing. Ive owned a number of laptops and none have done this. Ill never again buy from this brand.

Pros: -Lightweight -Nice, conservative design -Alright processor and RAM, could use expansion to 8GB -500GB of storage -Lots of palm and wrist space to rest on -Keycaps feel nice to type on -Has bloatware, but only two programs which are McAfee and Wildtanget Games. I thought the HP suite that also comes with it isnt that bad since I can pair it with my HP printer Cons: -Cheap plastic toy feel, flexes a lot and honestly feels like a toy -Battery life is not that long, from 100% and just about 45 minutes of medium/light usage its at 88% -Trackpad is kinda finicky when trying to motion gesture but its minor -Minor, but num lock key doesnt light up when activiated -Stutters and lags when under load, which can be done when uninstalling the bloatware that comes preinstalled Overall, its not bad but I highly recommend getting this whenever it goes for sub $250 as anything above it makes other laptops way better choices. I chose this as a "better chromebook" that can do web tasks as well as handle old games like Civ 5. So far I dont count on the battery life making it throughout the whole day but it doesnt take long to charge.

The design of the computer is very nice & the outside of the laptop is coarse to the touch. The performance of the computer matchs the design of it being a piece of future tech. It showed me whats new in Windows 10 which is a good operating system and they changed the login screen finally. I would recommend this computer. I will give an update in 30 days of any changes good or bad.
