The top firing speakers on the laptop don’t live up to their Bang and Olufsen branding even though they are loud enough in a small office.

Performance

The Chrome OS is a stripped down operating system that relies heavily on Google Chrome.

Chromebooks typically have less storage than the average laptop.

So you have to rely on cloud to store what you want.

Since you cant download applications from internet you will have to use Play Store to download games and apps for photo editing, music and communication.

Webcam

HP’s 720P webcam may look like a side character that was about to get killed off in a horror flick.
