AI-generated summary
For £393 ex-VAT, this HP Chromebook is a pretty sensible choice **if your “work” is mostly web apps, email, Office online, Teams/Zoom in the browser, and admin tasks**. The touch panel is genuinely useful in day-to-day navigation, and ChromeOS tends to stay snappy even on modest storage—so you’re buying a stable, low-fuss device rather than something that’ll be pushed into heavy desktop software territory. The Wi‑Fi 6E is a nice bonus for offices with modern networking, but even without it, the overall experience is what you’d expect: straightforward, secure, and easy to manage across a fleet.
That said, I’d **not** buy it if you need lots of local Windows-style software, offline-first heavy workflows, or “we sometimes run big installs” type requirements. 64 GB tends to fill faster than people think once you start downloading files, caching offline content, and adding lots of browser profiles. Also, if you’re expecting it to behave like a business laptop with full-fat desktop productivity, you’ll be disappointed. Bottom line: **good value for cost-conscious teams that live in the browser**, questionable if you rely on offline heavy apps or substantial local storage.
