Review on HP Chromebook 14 Non Touch Bluetooth by Larry Morris

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Non-advertised model included

Advertised: Pentium Silver N5000 processor with Intel UHD 605 graphics and 4GB LPDDR4-2400 RAM with 14 inch 1366 x 768 display Received: Celeron N4030 processor with Intel UHD 600 graphics and 4GB LPDDR4-1866 RAM with a 14-inch display with 1920 x 1080 pixels 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 sacrificing performance with the advertised specs, but it does make the difference in cost 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.
