Now that top-line tablets often cost as much as leading laptops, the choice between the two often just comes down to personal preference. Do you want the productivity and full features of a laptop, or the touchscreen and easy use of a tablet?
Or, would you rather have both? That’s the option presented by the HP Chromebook x360, a 14-inch touchscreen 2-in-1 Chromebook/tablet combo. Now’s also the time you can get both for much, much less, because Best Buy is taking the price of the HP Chromebook x360 down by 40%, from $499 to just $299.
Flexibility FTW
The 2-in-1 HP Chromebook x360 is all about flexibility. Open the lid one way and it’s a standard 14-inch laptop and keyboard, powered by an Intel Processor N100 and Intel UHD Graphics set. But keep opening that screen until it folds all they way in the other direction, and now you have a brilliant 14-inch tablet with HD touchscreen, hands-free Google Assistant, and 12 hours of battery life.
Regardless of which way you open the he 2024 HP Chromebook x360’s Flexible x360 designed lid, you get a rapid 10-second startup, HD audio with upfiring speakers, HP’s True Vision HD camera with privacy shutter, HP’s Fast Charge quick charging feature that takes the Chromebook x360 from 0 to 50% in just 45 minutes, and great online connectivity with WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.3 options.
Three USB ports — two 5Gbps Type-C ports that support DisplayPort 1.4 and one 5Gbps Type-A port — and a headphone/microphone combo jack give you more connection options than any tablet and enough of them for any laptop.
The Best of Google
Once you’re done with the super-fast 10 second boot-up, you’ll find yourself in ChromeOS, Google’s amazing operating system that includes Gmail, Gemini, YouTube, and instant access to all of the files and photos on your Google Drive. Also included with the purchase of the HP Chromebook x260 is the Google One AI Premium Plan, which includes Gemini Advanced, 2TB of cloud storage, and Gemini AI in Gmail, Docs, and more.
Another little-known Chromebook perk? There’s never been a Chromebook that’s been hit with a virus. The built-in protection of the Titan C2 security chip means you can browse and shop and stream with complete confidence.
It’s nice when you don’t have to decide between buying a laptop or a tablet, and it’s even nicer when you get a $200 price break like the one Best Buy is extending on the HP Chromebook x260 2-in-1 touchscreen laptop/tablet combo. It’s just $299 if you get to Best Buy before the sale ends.
