It’s not your little brother’s Chromebook. The new HP Chromebook x360 14-inch is ready for anything you throw at it, with all the specs for serious productivity. It’s the Chrome OS you know, with an elevated level of power in a thin and light, premium design.

I am unable to review this because it has been sitting with the shipper in one place for more than one week. I called the shipper, but maybe BB need to seek alternative vendors.

Works as expected. Needed to extend range due to the inability to move the location of the main router in my house. This extends for increased range in the other half of the house.

For an primary student, the cost is unbeatable. Quality is good, but for more precise apps I wish the tip was more solid. It's fine, but a fine tip option would make this five stars.

Purchased this for my high school daughter to use for school. Touchscreen is great for her virtual art class, but can also type for literacy class. Speed, connectivity, and ease of use. Looks just a good as any pricey Apple product.

Packaged this with my new photo printer. Quality of paper and prints are good so far. On the expensive side, but worth it for now.

Simple to use photo printer to print those pics from your device instantly. Yes, sometimes you need that photo for a kid's project or other short notice thing. This fits the bill. Only used a few times, but quality of both the printer, paper, and prints look good. Hope it lasts. Paper and ink are little expensive, but this isn't for daily printing.

Bought this to replace old laptop. It's lightweight, processes fast enough for daily use. One odd quirk though is that the touchpad controls are not able to be adjusted with the makers' software. Windows 10 allows basic adjustments, but not full control. You can buy a mouse and avoid it, but it's slightly annoying not to be able to adjust scroll on the edge of the touchpad, hot corners, multiple clicks, etc. Worked with tech support from both Lenovo and Windows to no resolve. Not the biggest issue, but just annoying. Still the pluses (price, speed, screen size, audio, etc) outweigh this.

Only had it for a short time, but good consistent results. Prints BW and color in seconds. If you just need a basic color laser printer, then this is a good choice.

I have a internet desk phone that needs to hook into an ethernet plug. I see there is a ethernet port on this extender. Can I plug an internet phone into this port?

Yes. There is a CAT5 cable connection below this. I use this to connect a smart TV to my network. It was using full wireless, but was lagging. I bought the extender to extend thru the whole house and plugged the TV into this. No lag!

Should I get an extender or should I invest in a bigger router? I currently have a N600 Dual Band. I have my router on one end of my house and the signal will not reach to the other end of the house.

I believe this could work, depending on how old your router is and your internet connection. If you have thick plaster walls and brick, then this should work. I had a the same issue and placed the router as central to the house in that outside room (on an inside wall) and put the range extender on the opposite side of the house on an inside wall and my range shows full anywhere I go in the house.
