Last week, HP’s consumer-focused Chromebook x360 14c went on sale for the very impressive price of only $499. At a $200 discount, there’s very little not to like about this 11th Gen Intel convertible. It offers a premium build, 8GB of RAM and an ample 128GB of storage. The x360 14c is the latest in a long line of flagship convertibles from HP and it remains one of our top picks alongside the impressive Acer Chromebook Spin family.
My only really gripe with the HP x360 is and has always been the 250 nit display. In my humble opinion, any flagship device that’s being sold specifically to consumers should bear no less than 300 nits of brightness and that’s the very minimum. That said, the screen is still really good. The colors are crisp and the viewing angles are solid. When you can pick up the HP with a discount, it makes this minor oversight quite forgivable.
If you were in the market and considering the HP Chromebook x360 14c, I can easily recommend it at last week’s sale price of $499. However, this week’s deal is practically a no-brainer. Best Buy has knocked another Benjamin off of the already low sale price and you can pick up this powerful, premium, and versatile convertible Chromebook for only $399 and that is an absolute steal. Here’s a look at what the HP Chromebook x360 14c has to offer for just under four hundred bucks.
