hey folks Robbie pay with chrome unbox
0:14
coming at you today with an unboxing and
0:17
review of the HP Chromebook 11 G5
0:20
available since all the way back in July
0:22
this device has come down in price and
0:24
its combination of specs and a
0:26
touchcreen and a decently low price make
0:28
for a pretty compelling package P AG so
0:30
let's get in and check this thing out
0:32
and see what it looks like
1:51
as this device has been on the market
1:53
for almost 6 months it seems a bit
1:54
unnecessary to dig too deep into the
1:56
specs and features but we'll talk about
1:58
them here real briefly inside we have
2:00
the Intel Celeron n360 Braswell
2:02
processor 4 gigs of RAM 16 gigs of emmc
2:06
storage a 1366 X 768 touchscreen display
2:09
two USB 3.0 ports a fullsize HDMI port
2:13
32 mm headphone microphone Jack and a
2:15
Micro SD card slot overall there's
2:17
nothing really out of the ordinary on
2:19
the list and this device feels and
2:21
performs pretty much that way it's solid
2:23
but plastic portable but not the
2:26
thinnest device on the market well built
2:28
and misses some of the finer points
2:29
point so nothing bad and nothing great
2:32
that seems to be the theme for the HP
2:34
Chromebook 11 G5 it simply delivers
2:36
solid performance on the budget the n360
2:38
Braswell processor and 4 gigs of RAM
2:40
perform pretty well especially when they
2:42
don't have to push a full HD display
2:44
octane scores of around 9,000 were
2:46
achievable and though it shares the same
2:48
internals as the R11 it actually felt a
2:50
little bit zippier in everyday use the
2:52
best octane I could get from the R11 was
2:54
a mid 8000 score so it seems the G5
2:57
holds a slight Edge there basic browsing
2:59
and everyday Tas get along just fine as
3:01
well as most Android apps I tested I
3:03
played many rounds of Modern Combat 5
3:05
online with no issues whatsoever frame
3:07
rate stayed up near 60 the entire time
3:09
as well battery is also very solid
3:11
giving at least 8 hours of use with
3:13
screen brightness up around 80% speaking
3:16
of the screen this model is equipped
3:17
with a touchscreen and actually a pretty
3:19
good one which makes the entire package
3:21
a little bit better of a deal touch
3:23
interactions were actually really
3:24
responsive and felt super smooth with
3:27
developer mode method Android apps are
3:29
actually a ailable for use on this
3:30
device right now and in the coming
3:32
months they'll be enabled out of the box
3:34
and so the touchcreen was a really
3:36
worthwhile add-on brightness is nothing
3:39
amazing but it's decent coming in pretty
3:41
close to what you get on the R11 or the
3:43
Asus flip with a glossy screen you'll
3:45
struggle in sunlight but the IPS display
3:47
pops colors are good and viewing angles
3:50
are really fantastic color temperature
3:51
is kind of cool giving whites a bit more
3:53
pop as well though you get a touchcreen
3:55
you're still likely to find yourself
3:56
using the keyboard and trackpad for the
3:58
most part as this is an 11.6 in laptop
4:01
after all this is a part of the hp11 G5
4:04
that's a bit hit and miss the keyboard's
4:06
just too clicky giving the keys a slight
4:08
bit of travel before they're actually
4:09
depressed it makes them sound loud as
4:12
you're typing while not the worst
4:13
keyboard I've ever used it isn't great
4:15
travel's fine and it didn't hinder my
4:17
ability to type up a few articles but
4:19
the clacky sound and wobbly keys were
4:21
just a little bit offputting the
4:23
trackpad is a mix bag as well the
4:25
surface is smooth and decently resistant
4:27
to oils and it's also a decent size for
4:29
a smaller Chrome book but the click
4:31
mechanism is simply too firm it simply
4:32
feels like you have to push down way too
4:34
far to register a click making the whole
4:36
experience feel a bit muddy and awkward
4:39
if you're a tap to click fan you'll be
4:41
just fine here because there's no
4:42
wiggling or floating around as we've
4:44
seen on some other poorly made trackpads
4:46
the speakers on this device were a nice
4:48
and unexpected surprise they're bottom
4:51
firing but situated in a unique position
4:53
towards the front of the device the
4:54
sound was full and Rich and way better
4:57
than I expected overall I'd have to say
4:59
I'm pretty pleased with the HP
5:01
Chromebook 11 G5 it does a lot of things
5:03
well and at the price point it's sitting
5:05
at right now and likely to stay at for
5:07
sometime it's a really good deal should
5:10
you buy it I think so if you can get
5:12
past the wonky trackpad and maybe you'll
5:13
get one with a decent trackpad in it
5:15
it's actually a pretty good deal
5:17
especially for a touchscreen Chromebook
5:18
that's getting Android apps and performs
5:20
pretty well overall we're quite pleased
