HP Chromebook x360 14c
The 3.5-pound x360 14c model is more of a premium model out of the two featuring edge-to-edge glass touchscreen and can flip all the way back to transform into the tablet, hence its name 360. The 1920 x 1080 resolution display is loaded with IPS technology for wide viewing angles and uses energy-efficient WLED backlight.
Measuring just 0.7″ thick, 14c is one of the thinnest Chromebooks available in the market if portability is your high-priority. Obviously, you won’t find the DVD/CD drive in it. Surprising to see how HP managed to throw-in a fingerprint reader in this model, which is mostly seen on $1000 laptops.
