Pros and Cons

Asus Chromebook Flip CX1

Strengths

Its standout feature is the 360° flippable touchscreen, offering a full HD resolution of 1920x 1080
The device feels built to last with MIL STD810H durability standard
It's easy to carry around at just 3.59 lb
Battery life is impressive, especially for a laptop of this size, perfect for remote work or school days
The convertible design offers great versatility, allowing you to adapt to any situation
Build quality is solid for the price with a lightweight but sturdy frame
Wi-Fi 6 ensures fast, stable internet connectivity

Weaknesses

The Intel Celeron N4500 processor isn't built for heavy lifting, meaning you may experience lag or slowdowns
The eMMC storage might feel a bit restrictive if you're storing large files
Chrome OS still lacks the full functionality of more traditional operating systems
You might want to look at higher-end models or even consider traditional laptops with larger storage options for power users
The device may experience lag or slowdowns with more demanding tasks such as video editing
eMMC storage might leave you wanting more space for files, especially if you rely on local storage
Chrome OS limitations may be a deal breaker for those who need specific software or programs not available on Google's platform

HP Chromebook 14

Strengths

A decently good device for the price
The screen, although subpar, might be forgivable for younger kids who won't worry about it.
It can do ABC Mouse or Disney Junior, which could make it suitable for young children.
It's a good deal if you don't care about screens or plan to hook it up to an external monitor.
The device has decently good viewing angles when leaned back
HP offers a way to upgrade the device with better features, but at a higher price point
It's a good option for casual use cases where screen quality isn't crucial
You can still get it at a relatively low price of $230

Weaknesses

The worst screen I've probably ever used on any Chromebook
Viewing angles are so bad that you can't find a way to look at the screen in any way without blue or yellow shift
Colors and brightness are also issues with this TN panel
Screen quality is abysmal, making it difficult to recommend to most people
HP's site requires you to upgrade to a better version of the device, which quickly gets too expensive ($400+)
It's not suitable for school or work use without upgrading the screen, which also increases cost
Screen quality is forgivable only if used by young children who won't notice it
The base price jumps up to $340-$350 when you add features on HP's site

HP Chromebook 14

The HP Chromebook 14 has a lot to offer at its affordable price point. The device boasts a sturdy build, decent keyboard, and satisfactory trackpad performance. It also features an HD display, though unfortunately, the screen quality falls short, with poor viewing angles and lackluster color accuracy. Despite this major flaw, the Chromebook still manages to deliver decent performance and is suitable for casual use cases, such as web browsing and streaming. However, its usability for more demanding tasks, like work or school, is questionable.
