HiBought this as a gift for my child and it’s fabulous.It was gratefully received. It’s classy in appearanceand professional in use. It is compatible with my child’s school online work but also provides a great space to do artwork and edits (as informed!)Definitely worth the money. They say good things come in small packages well this small package is excellent on all levels.

An excellent Chromebook

This is my first Chromebook, but I have had a number of different Windows laptops and tablets over the years, as well as iPads. With this purchase, I was looking for an inexpensive device with a few very important features: Solid build quality, a touchscreen with good clarity and brightness, long battery life, light weight, a full keyboard and trackpad, and fast boot and wake-up times. I also wanted a device that my wife and I could easily share. The option in the next several weeks to run Android apps on this HP Chromebook model sealed the deal for me.I have had this Chromebook for almost a week, and I have been able to leverage all the features (except for Android apps, because Google is not ready to expand their availability beyond a handful of Chromebook ... MoreThis is my first Chromebook, but I have had a number of different Windows laptops and tablets over the years, as well as iPads.

I also wanted a device that my wife and I could easily share. The option in the next several weeks to run Android apps on this HP Chromebook model sealed the deal for me.I have had this Chromebook for almost a week, and I have been able to leverage all the features (except for Android apps, because Google is not ready to expand their availability beyond a handful of Chromebook models just yet). The 2 USB ports and micro SD slot are very useful to connect extra storage. The full-size HDMI output is great -- you can mirror the Chromebook's display to a TV or set it to extended display mode. The Celeron processor, 4 GB of RAM, and Intel graphics allow me to smoothly stream video from sites like Hulu and FX in the highest available resolution. The touchscreen is a nice complement to the touchpad, which is very responsive. The keyboard is not too small, and I like the set of specialized keys along the top row (I think these are part of the Chromebook spec from Google). I do miss having a delete key to go along with the backspace key, but that's a small price to pay.So far, my battery life seems to support HP's claim of 11 hours on a full charge. And as with most Chromebooks, this powers up in 10 seconds and resumes from sleep almost instantly -- I only wish my Microsoft Surface Book that I use for my job could do that. In fact, the Chromebook rivals my iPad Air 2 in resuming from sleep.HP's build quality is excellent on this device, and so all in all, I could not be happier with my choice.

Annabelle's review of HP 11a-na0000sa 11.6" Chromebook - MediaTek MT8183, 64 GB eMMC, White

Pros: Easy to set up , possibility to insert sd card to add to the gb already in place , sturdy , good size and weight to carry on the go providing access to wifi . Really good quality overall for the price .Cons: Screen quality would maybe in need to be improved . Not bad but could be better re clarity .

Chloe's review of HP 11a-na0000sa 11.6" Chromebook - MediaTek MT8183, 64 GB eMMC, White

Pros: It’s whiteCons: Super slow (not wifi but actual hardware). Screen has massive plastic around the edges. Looks very very dated and is just a general waste of money. For the price invest a bit more into a proper laptop. I bought this to just do weekly shops or to watch YouTube and it genuinely struggles with that.

Fast, light, inexpensive, worthwhile

Chromebooks are a unique breed -- essentially a laptop web browser. I'd bought a new laptop for work that had many problems. My old laptop was too slow and heavy for my work job. While my new laptop was under repair, in desperation I bought a Chromebook to get by. Well, it filled the bill and then some. It is easy to use and runs beautifully. If you're like me and open tab after tab, it is great to find a machine that doesn't crash or hiccup. The battery never quits, either. I use it to present information to people in their homes, and I carry a power cord just in case, but I never need to use it. I just charge it up at night for the next day. I still use it instead of my repaired laptop, due to its light weight, ease of use, and battery life. About the only ... MoreChromebooks are a unique breed -- essentially a laptop web browser.

About the only negative is that on an 11" screen, my fingers are often a little large for touchscreen purposes, and I need to use the touchpad to be accurate. Also, the touchscreen doesn't work quite as well in the extreme periphery of the screen. Response is quite predictable and you just get the hang of it. Even though I can't download programs to it that I normally use for work, I still favor the Chromebook over a heavier laptop. With remote screen access, I can still reach my home computer for downloaded program if I need to. All in all, this thing worked perfectly right out of the box, and three months later, I'm very satisfied with it.

Gillian's review of HP 11a-na0000sa 11.6" Chromebook - MediaTek MT8183, 64 GB eMMC, White

Pros: Small and lightweightCons: Probably our fault as we didn’t do our research. My daughter needed it for a university field trip, to create and edit documents whilst out in the field. Unfortunately with the Chromebook you need to be online to be able to do this. Hence it wasn’t fit for purpose.

HP is killing it! The perfect student Chromebook!

My daughters, ages 7 and 9, had an iMac in their shared bedroom for the last few years; It became obvious to me that something wasn't right when the machine got almost NO use for the past year. Since they're separating soon to their own rooms anyway, I thought it was time to assess their needs and sell the iMac (because they have excellent resell value and wasn't being used at all) and look into more portable replacements... Kids these days - In addition to snowy uphill-both-ways commutes to school, back in my day we had a SINGLE desktop computer for the entire house! and the Internet made a screechy/scratchy sound when you got on at 14kbps!! - Now only laptop/2-in-1 form factors prevail for anywhere, anytime use.On a separate front, the obvious choice of Macs ... MoreMy daughters, ages 7 and 9, had an iMac in their shared bedroom for the last few years; It became obvious to me that something wasn't right when the machine got almost NO use for the past year.

Kids these days - In addition to snowy uphill-both-ways commutes to school, back in my day we had a SINGLE desktop computer for the entire house! and the Internet made a screechy/scratchy sound when you got on at 14kbps!! - Now only laptop/2-in-1 form factors prevail for anywhere, anytime use.On a separate front, the obvious choice of Macs over PCs to stay aligned to their student experience at school has been disrupted by Google. Their ChromeOS is dominating the education environments and this new(er) operating system is extremely manageable, secure, and containerized, giving both parents AND educators peace-of-mind that their kids/students are focused on tasks at hand and not susceptible to viruses or other malware/privacy invasions, but also at literally pennies on the dollar compared to comparable Apple devices.Then this year, Google gave all of us in the Consumer world something to want... These cheap Chrome devices, which were getting nicer in form factor and build quality while prices stayed relatively flat, would soon start supporting Google Play applications from the Android ecosystem! This was the breakthrough! The million-app Android ecos with the affordable and extensible ChromeOS, now on touch-enabled devices gives all of the advantages of both desktop and mobile experiences - They must be doing this as a response to Windows 10, which offers desktop and mobile modes (though ChromeOS always operates in a desktop mode just offering you to run Android apps in horizontal or vertical orientation in windowed or full-screen modes.(Please note: As of the writing of this review, March 2017, this Chromebook only supports Google Play and Android App functionality via the Chrome OS Dev and Beta channels, as production/release Google Play/Android functionality is planned for a future release of ChromeOS that this Chromebook is slated to get as soon as it is released. All of this generation's Chromebooks will get Google Play features, but previous generations of HP Chromebook and other manufacturer's models may have limits on which are supported with the new platform, You can check compatibility and status of each Chromebook model at the Google Dev site at https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/dev/chromium-os/chrome-os-systems-supporting-android-apps ).As an IT professional by trade, I knew HP was coming a long way in build quality across their lines, and they always made a VERY nice Chromebook (Their EE Education Editions are a standard in our local school district - The reason my kids prefer Chrome devices now.) The new G5 Chromebook is the first 11-incher to support touch in their Chromebook line. It has a very textured, neutral body color with good industrial design and nice metallic/silver styling cues inside around the black keyboard and silver glass touchpad. The screen is Gorilla Glass, which seems to have the industry locked-in for high quality, durable glass touch surfaces. The only thing that could have improved the device would be a "360" hinge to turn it into a 2-in-1 (which HP hadn't released at the time, but now offers a Chromebook 11 360 strictly to the EDUCATION market at the time of this review). I have had several premium Chromebooks and own several HP laptops and MacBooks, so I would love to see a backlit keyboard, but at this price point, you can't expect those features and getting touchscreens with a beautiful IPS display is already pushing the cost envelope while keeping the SRP around $250 USD. The build quality and fit/finish is fantastic for this price range. The device is light but packs excellent battery life, while sometimes parts of the machine can feel a bit hollow, I never feel like my 9, 7, or 2-year-olds could do any damage to the device, without deliberately trying.This is also one of the FEW Chromebooks that came out in 2016 that offered 4GB RAM. The newer devices are catching up and going back to the 4GB standard which is plenty for lots of Chrome tabs or several Android apps running, but I'd expect to see 6 and/.or 8GB standards within the next 2 years as Android apps proliferate the platform. For now, 4GB is an ample amount and should NOT be considered a limitation for this class of device. 2GB is the standard, but 4GB is the premium tier for most Chromebooks.My only other small gripe is that this device, released in late 2016/early 2017 still didn't include USB Type-C charging, though almost ALL competing 2017 models offer this standard. HP even uses the standard on most of their existing Spectre, ENVY and EliteBook ultraportable models, and on their other Chromebook, the HP Chromebook 13 G1. Not including this seems like an oversight, especially considering that there's no special licensing for the tech, the power cords are already produced and models with the same wattage are available (I assume) for the same BOM cost. I even have the same charger from this notebook (a round DIN charge connector) and one from my Chromebook 13 (a USB Type-C) with the same basic brick, just different output cable ends. This can't be a financial decision... Also the new Chromebook 11 X360 (with the cool hinge) has USB Type-C charging and connectivity, modernizing the experience.Beyond some standards issues that laptop collectors like me have (I have 2 of these units for my daughters, plus 5 other USB Type-C charging devices for myself, including MacBooks, HP laptops/Chromebooks and Android Phones), this is a durable, well designed, attractive, thin and light notebook with lots of features and lots to look forward to from Google. My kids also LOVE that they have personal notebooks like the ones they use at school that can connect to and run the same educational games/apps from their school experience.

Marie's review of HP 11a-na0000sa 11.6" Chromebook - MediaTek MT8183, 64 GB eMMC, White

Pros: It's compact. Good design and style. Easy to set up. We was able to download a app for doing work which is basically the same as word. Overall good computer and my child was pleased it plays Roblox well.Cons: Touch screen would have been a treat and maybe a little if the screen was a little brighter.

Michaella's review of 11a 11.6" Chromebook - MediaTek MT8183, 32 GB eMMC, Grey

Pros: Great little laptop for what i need it for. light and compact. battery life is good. screen is a good size for studying and has a clear camera for team meetings. sound quality also pretty good. If you're after an uncomplicated basic laptop to study on then i would recommend this one. However i've not used it for games, watching movies or youtube etc.. so i cannot comment on how well it holds up whilst using those types of apps.Cons: The keypad could be made slightly better. When typing, the keys are quite hard on your fingertips.

Perfect little Chrome book for web use and mobility.

I have a Cyberpower Ultratech laptop with a heating and battery issue which causes it to only hold a max charge of around 30%. It's also quite large and on the heavier side, so I decided to buy an inexpensive Chrome book for basic web browsing and blogging. This Hp 11a is the perfect size and weight, making it easy to watch videos and work on stuff on my lap while in bed. It's also easy to bring it to different rooms in my house without worrying about carrying a bulky ac adapter with it. Despite being labeled as used, it looks like new and has no signs of previous use. Obviously you get what you pay for, but for $60 the plastic build is decent and the screen is acceptable enough for work. The keyboard is not back lit but I can live with it. The only somewhat ... MoreI have a Cyberpower Ultratech laptop with a heating and battery issue which causes it to only hold a max charge of around 30%.

The only somewhat negative thing I have to say is that the adapter that came with it book wasn't a USB-C, which is what the Hp 11a uses. Luckily I have a Nintendo Switch and I found that the Switch adapter works perfectly with the chrome book, so I'm not too bothered by it.
