It was plenty fast enough with many tabs open, and I really liked the keyboard. The Core i3 White/Gold version with 8GB of RAM and 64GB Memory was on sale for $349. I waited until Black Friday to purchase a Chromebook and the deals on the X360 were great at Best Buy and at Amazon. The ARM processor sometimes didn’t respond as fast as I wanted. I tend to have 10+ tabs open as I work and research multiple things. My Samsung Chromebook Plus V1 has a slow ARM processor that works pretty well for apps and having a few tabs open. The main reason I bought a new Chromebook was for a speed upgrade. This configuration should be plenty powerful for most people. Most models available at stores seem to be of the core i3 variety with 8GB of RAM and 64GB eMMC memory. Battery: 3-cell 60Whr lithium polymer, rated at 13.5 hours of battery life.Ports: Two Type-C USB 3.1 Gen 1 (5Gbps) ports, 1 Type-A USB 3.1 Gen 1 port, 1 3.5mm audio port.Display: 14 inch IPS Full HD (1920×1080) WLED backlit touchscreen.Storage: 32GB or 64GB eMMC (has expansion microSD card slot).Memory: 4GB, 8GB or 16GB DDR4-2400 SDRAM.The x360 comes in a few different models with the following specs: HP Chromebook x360 comparison to Samsung Chromebook Plus.Our $599 test unit is a Best Buy configuration with 8GB of RAM, 64GB of eMMC flash storage, and the snap-on keyboard and rechargeable pen HP.com offers a $679.99 model without the pen ($48.99) but with 128GB of storage and 4G LTE mobile broadband. This year's model has an 11-inch Gorilla Glass touch screen with a 3:2 aspect ratio (2,160-by-1,440-pixel resolution), backed by an eight-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 7c processor. We reviewed the first HP Chromebook x2-a 12.3-inch tablet with an Intel Core m3 chip- in September 2018. It doesn't perform as well as comparably priced Chromebook laptops (and we still consider our Editors' Choice favorite, the Lenovo Chromebook Duet, a better value among Chromebook detachables), but it fills a nifty niche. Tablet shoppers rarely consider Chromebooks, but the HP x2 favors the bold. But if you're willing to think different, HP's 11-inch Chromebook x2 costs the same-with twice the memory and the keyboard and pen that Apple will charge you an extra $428 for. So you're in the market for a detachable 2-in-1-a tablet you can use either by itself, or with a keyboard and stylus? Apple's 10.9-inch iPad Air is a good choice-in fact, a PCMag Editors' Choice winner-at $599.
