Deal: HP Chromebook X360 $150 off: $449 at Best Buy

The HP Chromebook X360 is discounted from its $599 price from time to time and this week is one of those times. All week long you can pick up the HP Chromebook X360 from Best Buy for $449.00 and save yourself $150 from the typical retail price.

I haven’t used this 2-in-1 Chromebook, but I have used the HP Chromebook X2 with detachable display, which the X360 design borrows heavily from. And the X2 was a fantastic device in general during my time with it; the only reason I returned it is because I thought it might be a little under-powered for my expected usage.

The HP Chromebook X360 doesn’t have a removable screen like the X2, nor does it have a stylus, but it has an improved processor, double the memory and roughly 30-percent more battery life than the X2.

Here’s what you get: An 8th-gen Intel Core i3-8130U with a 2.2 GHz base frequency, turbo-boost up to 4GHz; a 14-inch full HD touch display with thin bezels on the sides, 8GB of memory, 64GB of eMMC storage, 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. There are a pair of USB Type-C ports and one Type-A, plus a headphone/microphone jack and microSD card reader. HP says to expect 13.5 hours of run-time per charge.

Note that the X2 used an 7th-gen Intel Core m3 Y-series CPU, so the X360 has a newer processor. And because the chip is a U-Series model, it can run longer at full capacity unlike the older m3. The one possible downside? U-Series chips require fans to reduce the heat produced during those heavy-duty CPU cycles, so the HP Chromebook X360 does have a fan.

Regardless, this is a top-notch 2-in-1 with few flaws and an enough performance for all but high-end power users of Chrome OS. Don’t take my word for it though: Check Robbie’s detailed video review from Chrome Unboxed below.

  1. Kevin,
    Thanks for the heads up. I was able to purchase one at my local BestBuy. (HP 360 14)

    1. Awesome, Stan! Let me know what you think of it after a few days of use.

  2. The article says the Chromebook x360 is on sale, but the link is for the Chromebook X2.

    Can you provide a link to the x360 on sale? Model HP Chromebook x360 – 14-da0021nr

    1. Chris, when I click the first link or the Best Buy image it takes me to the X360. What link are you clicking?

  3. When does this sale end? The date on this article is 4/7 – Does that mean it is for week starting 4/7 through 4/13?

    Thanks.

    1. This ad was in the weekly Best Buy sales flyer, so it should run through 4/13.
