The 14-inch, 1920 x 1080 pixel display is bright and sharp, and the construction of this laptop impresses too. You can pick up this HP Chromebook in a variety of configurations, all the way up to a model running a 10th-gen Intel Core i7-10610U processor (a lot of power for ChromeOS and a few mobile apps). "The HP Pro c640 Chromebook shines in a number of areas, including the battery life, the typing and trackpad experience, and the processing power on board." – T3's HP Pro c640 Chromebook review (opens in new tab)Ī lot of people think budget or mid-range when they think of Chromebooks, but the HP Pro c640 makes a very good case as to why you should spend a bit more money for a bit more quality and power – this is a laptop that simply flies along, no matter whether you're browsing the web or running Android apps. A polished and professional-looking Chromebook. Other extras that we appreciate include an HDMI out port – not something you see very often on a Chromebook – and the 3:2 aspect ratio on the display, which means you can fit much more on the screen vertically, compared with a 16:9 or even a 16:10 aspect ratio display. This should be able to handle all the Chrome tabs and Android apps you throw at it, and then some. It comes with a high-resolution, 2265 x 1504 pixel 13.5-inch screen that can be folded over and used in tent mode, as well as plenty of power under the hood – we're talking up to an Intel Core i5-10210U processor, 8GB of RAM and 128GB of SSD storage.

The Spin 713 from Acer ticks a lot of the right boxes, and we think it's the best Chromebook for most people. On the other hand, there's plenty of variety in terms of screen size, build quality, keyboard and trackpad performance, and all the other factors that go into making a laptop.

On one hand, all Chromebooks are the same, as they all run Chrome OS. "The Acer Chromebook Spin 713 impresses in almost every area: though it's not quite the perfect Chromebook, it scores highly in terms of its bright 13.5-inch display, the performance you get under the hood, it's better-than-average battery life, and more." – T3's Acer Chromebook Spin 713 review (opens in new tab)
