There’s nothing about HP’s 2019 Chromebook 14 that’s flashy or makes it stand out among the field of inexpensive Chromebooks. It’s a hefty, plasticy laptop that, at $329 as reviewed, will appeal to schools and other use cases where the sluggish AMD processor inside won’t be a major hindrance. The 14-inch, 1080p display is perfectly good for working inside Google Docs and watching YouTube videos. And HP’s sub-$400 Chromebook also offers a nice selection of ports, an adequate keyboard and trackpad, and a reassuring sense of durability.
