Review on πŸ’» Renewed HP Chromebook -14 with Intel Pentium Silver N5000, 14" HD Display, 4GB RAM, 64GB eMMC - Chrome OS, Grey by Scott Spoja

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Different model sent than advertised

Advertised: Pentium Silver N5000 CPU with Intel UHD 605 graphics and 4GB LPDDR4-2400 RAM with 14 inch 1366 x 768 display Received: Celeron N4030 CPU with Intel UHD 600 graphics and 4GB LPDDR4 -1866 RAM on a 14-inch, 1920 x 1080 display All other advertised components remain the same. Essentially a dual-core variant of the quad-core Pentium it was intended to ship with, the Celeron halves its potential. In practice, most things you use a Chromebook for won't make good use of a multi-core processor, so the difference in performance isn't all that noticeable. This doesn't justify the performance hit from the advertised specs, but it does make the cost difference more subjective as we're trading that performance for a better screen. I might end up preferring the model that was sent to me. However, be aware that the specs are not checked very carefully and you may end up with something very different than what you ordered, hence the low score.

Pros
