Part of the overall appeal of Chromebook Plus at this point is the fact that there seems to be a bit of something for everyone. Tablets aside, there's a size and form-factor option for just about every use case out there in the Chromebook Plus portfolio, and obviously part of that spectrum needs to be covered by larger devices like the HP 15.6-inch Chromebook Plus.
This is one of two options in the large clamshell portion of the Chromebook Plus market, and though there are clear similarities between this one and the Acer Chromebook Plus 515 we reviewed earlier, HP's take on the larger form factor comes with some slight advantages over that device that are worth noting if the most important thing for you is a bit more screen real estate in your Chromebook Plus. Let's take a look.

    I still can`t understand why Chrome OS and Chromebooks don`t have more traction. It works for 90% of the people , been affordable, fast, hassle free and reliable for the whole family to use. Google could also work on a more integration between chromebooks and pixel devices.

    They are doing okay but have reached saturation point and now settling at around 5 million per quarter for the last two years. That is a fair share bearing in mind Windows's natural monopoly in the PC world.

    I guess Google lacks on investing in the in-development world. Over South America, we only had Chromebooks at retail and education with the 4GB-32GB settings. But in Enterprise, a lot of other models inclunding Intel Comet Lake above.

    The over all lack of application support is still very obvious. Sure, we have Chrome and it's a decent browser. But plenty of very useful utilities are still missing.

    I don't understand the rave about them though. They're marketed as cheap laptop replacements - never a long-term USP and are hence not aspirational. Not to mention all of your rave about web apps being the future - windows and mac can run web apps just as well if not better. Also once you're in proper enterprise grade laptop spec territory it typically is not cheaper than windows laptops that everyone is accustomed to.

    This is funny, I checked your channel if you already reviewd the HP Chromebook Plus, but found only a review 4 years ago for a different HP Chromebook. Then I went over to Amazon and saw they reduced price from 499 Euros to 349 Euros. Bought it at an instant and now I see you reviewed it after I bought it. LOL!

    Supplemental: The thing is, there is no "HP Chromebook Plus 15.6". I've learnt that names are useless without the specific type nummer. HP build this Chromebook in at least three different versions. Mine has the Chromebook Plus Logo on the backside of the lid, the i3 provessor and 256 GB SSD, but it has no backlit keyboard. But there is definitely a version with i3, 8GB RAM, 128 GB SSD including a backlit keyboard. It's so sad that manufacturers hide such details and are confusing customiers with various versions and cryptical numbers.

    I use an ASUS 15.6 machine (pre-chromebook plus), with Intel in it. It fits what I need - more real estate for the Linux coding I do- but the 250 nits is indeed well low. As I do most of my work in the rather dark kitchen, this is only a problem when I'm travelling. Apart from that, with enough RAM, lots of starage and the crucial HDMI port, it's ace.

    I wish the plus was a higher standard. Instead of a minimum. 16 or 32 gs of ram and 512 ssd or betteer. And stop soldering everything to the motherboard. Let us upgrade if we want !

    I am still praying for a 17" CB+ Of course, when they give me that they will almost certainly cut back on some other feature or better hardware (CPU, less ram, remove the BL keyboard). Seems to be the standard mode of operation. Or even worse, like what the did here. HP: Here is a larger screen but we are not giving you touch or a screen that works well if there is a bright candle in the room. I wager that when a 17" comes out, if one does, it will be an i3 or the lowet AMD CPU, minum ram, minimum storage.

    No one will listen to this - but DO NOT buy an HP Chromebook. I bought 3 of the same model and all 3 died right after warranty expired. And I mean DEAD dead. *edit - my HP Omen 16 PC died completely at 14 months also.

    Shame that all the Chromebooks coming out are all identical in looks and specs, nothing that really looks innovative or interesting and that goes for Windows and Apple hardware. Where’s all the cool, interesting designs like the Pixelbook Go, Pixebook Chromebook and that, understandably expensive, but really cool looking red Samsung Chromebook, I want that wow factor back!

    Does anyone, I mean anyone click the AFFILIATE links in youtubers videos? Like honestly. I personally go out of my way NOT to click links. I know how to use Google, and Amazon. According to social Blade, the tech review peeps making a TON off this. I just refuse to line thier pockets even more. I'm not gonna be thier payday.

    You’re watching a free 6 minute video that took them hours to make and you’re complaining about “lining their pockets” by clicking a link that costs you nothing? You sound really naive about how little money smaller KZread channels actually make from views counts. Keep up that attitude if you want to see them disappear and be replaced by 60 second TikTok trash.
