Overview
HP's 14-inch Chromebook pairs an Intel Celeron N4500 with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of eMMC storage for a light, budget Chrome OS laptop built for browsing, streaming and schoolwork rather than heavy software.
Chrome OS keeps the system light, so a dual-core Celeron and 4GB of RAM feel adequate here in a way they would not on Windows. The tradeoff is storage: 64GB of eMMC is meant to be a landing pad for files that live in Google Drive, not a local drive for big apps or media libraries.
- 14-inch anti-glare HD display, 250 nits
- Intel Celeron N4500 with 4GB LPDDR4x RAM
- Wi-Fi 6 (2x2) and Bluetooth 5.3
- 64GB eMMC storage with Google Drive integration
Who it's for
Students and casual users who mostly work in a browser, in Google Docs or in streaming apps will find this comfortable. Anyone who needs to run Windows software, edit large photo or video files, or keep everything stored locally should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Light at 3.35 lb for daily carrying
- Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.3 for current wireless standards
- USB-C port supports power delivery and an external display
- H1 security chip and automatic Chrome OS updates
- 4GB RAM and 64GB eMMC storage are entry-level
- 1366x768 display resolution is basic for a 14-inch panel
- Dual-core Celeron limits it to light workloads
Performance notes
The Celeron N4500 turbos to 2.8GHz but stays a dual-core chip, so it comfortably handles tabs, video calls and document editing while struggling with anything CPU-intensive. Chrome OS's lighter footprint and automatic updates help the 4GB of RAM go further than it would on a heavier operating system, and the 45W USB-C adapter charges the 3.35 lb body without a proprietary brick.
