Competing with some of the best laptops available today, HP's x360 2-in-1 Chromebook is a solid machine backed by an impressive set of hardware. A 10th Gen i5 paired with 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD and a 13.5" FHD display make for a great laptop that works for basic use as well as academic needs. Easily one of the best Chromebooks for the price right now, even without the $250 discount.

The value here is hard to beat, as HP's x360 competes with many of the best 2-in-1 laptops out there. The beefy hardware inside this lightweight machine is unbeatable for the discounted price, as even some of the best lightweight laptops available right now with comparable specs are almost double the price. Since this is a Chromebook, however, this machine is strictly meant for academic use or basic home use so don't expect a machine that can edit or run games.

The Google OS is a solid platform, but is a bit restrictive for anything other than doing the most common of tasks such as streaming, researching, emails and standard work functions. The added bonus of the 2-in-1 hybrid mode, along with the touch screen, up the ante a bit with a premium feeling machine that runs great. If you're a student looking to grab a higher-end laptop without breaking the bank this HP x360 2-in-1 Chromebook deal is well worth your money.
