Expert tester comments
HP's x360 Chromebook is a 2-in-1 device that can be used as a laptop or as a tablet. It offers a very good level of comfort thanks to a capable keyboard, and a screen with wide viewing angles, but bear in mind that it is a bit big and heavy to use as a normal tablet. Consider this device if you are entrenched in the Google product ecosystem.
