ut that is correctly what a Chromebook like the HP Pavilion 14 Chromebook is; a portable computer that boots into the lightweight working framework Chrome OS, where whatever you can do is dispatch Google's Chrome web program.
It may sound like an item that no one in their right personality would purchase, however there are two reasons why its not as obvious as that. The principal is that we've really come to truly like Chromebooks here at Techradar, and not simply on the grounds that they're shoddy - we'll come to why presently.
The other reason, however, is that what began as a little spill of models and producers has transformed if not into a torrent then into a relentless trickle. Obviously simply on the grounds that we're seeing an expanding number of Chromebooks hit the business sector it doesn't mean they must be effective, however PC makers wouldn't try making and promoting Chromebooks in the event that they didn't think there was at any rate a potential business.
Four Chromebooks contrasted with the numerous several Windows laptops or even the almost dozen fundamental Apple Macbooks doesn't sound like much, however regardless it feels like a division that is becoming carefully idealistic.
In the event that you choose you need to purchase a Chromebook or you simply need a dependable, truly usable smart phone with a sticker of simply £249/ Au$399/ Us$329.99, the HP Pavilion 14 Chromebook separates itself from alternate models with a greater, 14-inch screen.
Chrome OS won't suit everybody. It may not by any means suit most individuals yet, however its actual that its always developing, along these lines are our processing propensities and needs. So while you can't right now do feature altering, proficient photography altering or coding on a Chromebook - albeit online administrations are springing up that at any rate start to address these requests - large portions of us would adapt fine to simply a web program.
Consider what you do on a customary PC, for instance, and there's a decent risk either that you do basically everything through a program at any rate - Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, webmail - or that those things that you right now do with general applications, for example, Word and Excel could be supplanted with web administrations, for example, Google Docs.You may think, that is all extremely well, however in the event that these are all web applications, I must be online to utilize them, and since the Pavilion 14 doesn't have a SIM card space for 3g versatile perusing, its simply a futile entryway stop when I can't get Wi-Fi access. However as we'll see, that is not exactly the situation.
Details
We should begin, however, with the specs. Presently, specs with a Chromebook mean somewhat short of what they do with typical laptops, so we can't simply put a Chromebook alongside a smart phone from Lenovo, Asus, Dell or even HP and say that in light of the fact that it has a weaker processor, less capacity, a lower-res screen and less, lower-specced ports that its more awful.
That is on account of, since Chrome OS is a lightweight working framework whose just occupation is to run a program - though a quick, fit program with backing for complex HTML 5 and Flash - the fittings needs nearly little oomph to do its employment well.
The HP Pavilion 14 Chromebook has an Intel Celeron 847 processor running at 1.1ghz at its heart, and the 14-c002sa model we tried had 4gb of RAM.
Capacity is graciousness of a 16gb SSD, which we think is the right decision; the 320gb hard circle in the Acer C7 is a bit excess in a machine that is intended to be a dainty customer to web administrations, and on the grounds that hard circles are slower than robust state drives, whatever it did was moderate the general responsiveness of the machine down.
Set up together, nothing about these center specs recommend something besides walker execution, yet truth be told they're more than sufficient for a Chromebook. The HP Pavilion 14 Chromebook feels smooth and quick and responsive, and it adapted well to all that we tossed at it.

There are three USB 2.0 ports - no, no USB 3.0, yet that is completely fine, since a Chromebook would have no genuine utilization for a quicker association, in any event in its present incarnation - and a HDMI port, which is additional valuable now that Chrome OS backings developed desktop see and also reflecting on an outside screen.There's additionally a joined mic/earphone jack, a full-profundity SD card space and, and 802.11a/b/g/n, an exceptionally welcome Ethernet port.
The implicit webcam is, as you'd expect, HD determination. Anyhow as you'd expect, "HD" does not so much liken to 'high caliber'.
In spite of the fact that the 14-inch screen is low-res by today's models at 1366 x 786, and is somewhat washed out with poor review edges, we have seen more terrible, and we need to recollect that this is in a £250/ Au$400/ Us$330 portable computer.
Weighing 1.8kg (4lbs), its not ultrabook-light, however its not going to crush your spirit when thrown in a portable computer sack.
One thing that is level out awful on the HP Pavilion 14 Chromebook, however, is the battery. The battery takes up simply a fragment of this 14-creep portable computer's open body.
At the point when battery life is so poor as it is here - giving some place somewhere around three and four hours of robust utilization, or maybe somewhat more in case you're fortunate - and space in the frame isn't at a premium as it would be with a ultrabook or a netbook, we can't resist the opportunity to feel conned when HP has stuck a small 4-cell Li-Ion battery i
