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 Pro c640 Chromebook

The HP Pro c640 Chromebook boasts impressive specs on paper - a Core i7 processor and 16GB of RAM - making it one of the most powerful feature-rich Chromebooks available. However, this level of horsepower may be unnecessary for average users, who can find more than enough power in devices like the Acer Spin 713. This review will explore whether the Pro c640 is worth its $1200 price tag and if it's a good fit for consumers or just suitable for enterprise users.

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.
