Note: I received this product at a discount in exchange for my honest opinion.
I use a lot of Google products and apps and I’ve used Android phones for years but this is the first time I’ve owned a Chromebook.
This HP Chromebook Plus is a big laptop with a 15 inch screen which provides the space for a full keyboard and a separate numeric keypad which you don’t find on smaller computers.
Setting up and signing in was incredibly easy and if you have set up an Android phone before it will seem very familiar.
It’s a nicely designed unit with a matte grey finish which doesn’t collect the fingerprints. It did feel a bit on the heavy side to me when I first pulled it out of the box but I haven't owned a laptop this size for a while.
It has an Intel i3 processor which is perfectly adequate for the basic type of applications that I use.
The HD display looks good with decent brightness. As I mentioned before it’s nice to have the bigger screen which makes it easier to have multiple windows opened and viewable. I was disappointed to find that it doesn’t have a touch screen.
I think this is a decent laptop for the price with good performance, a big screen and a great keyboard and trackpad.
