I suppose it’s true in every tech category - iterative design changes lead to boring products given enough time. Look at our phones. Seriously, take the phone out of your pocket and compare it with the phones you see in stores or in commercials. It’s basically a black rectangle with some cameras on the back, buttons on the side, and an edge-to-edge screen, right? That’s not a bad thing, per se, but we are definitely past the point where a major smartphone release sparks the imagination these days.
The same thing is starting to be true of Chromebooks and Chrome OS devices in general. The stuff we cover here at Chrome Unboxed has moved into what I would consider an iterative phase. We get small changes that, over time, make for better products. They aren’t blowing us away with new features; they are simply getting better with each step forward. I’d argue that this is generally a good thing, but it is nice to get refreshing new ideas from time to time, too.
And that’s just what we get in HP’s new Chromebase with the spinning display, striking design, and clean aesthetic that - quite literally - turns the Chromebase form factor on its head. It’s a unique device in a sea of similar Chrome OS hardware, and I think it is well worth your attention. Let’s take a look.

I use my Lenovo Duet on a phone stand on my desk with a Logitech K580 keyboard to give me this same kinda setup. If I didn't just get the Duet 8 months ago I would definitely get this for the same thing.

This is actually an impressive and surprisingly innovative machine. I feel like this is a genuine competitor to an iMac for more casual users. It looks beautiful, can be rotated, can run mobile apps, and is 1/2 the price. Would love to see future iterations of this product with more customizability. Maybe 27'' or 4k option with i5? I feel like not including stylus support could really take advantage of the stand as well. Excited to see where this line of products leads.

I feel like this could be a perfect kitchen device. Watch youtube cooking videos, pull up recipes and turn the screen to see more of them at a time, pump out some tunes while you cook. Set a timer and play a quick game while you wait. If you could use this a a full on google smart display as well it would be perfect.

Thanks for the review, been checking daily since the first look! Waiting for it to hit the UK store (and price confirmation) as would make a great device for working from home on and general personal business! Run my whole company on an Acer 715 with a Pentium Gold and no hiccups. Would miss the number pad though.. Hopefully next time around there's 8GB RAM and a higher definition screen but the price will shoot up of course whereas this looks value versus a Chromebook and certainly a Chromebox and monitor etc. combo. Thanks again!

Nice review, the unit is built to capture the imagination and I'll dare say reminds me of the iMac G4 (known as the Sunflower, or Lamp Mac and what I wanted it to be the next evolution of the iMac) Good screen size, resolution, and the added keyboard and mouse complement the value of the offering, I think what is my real-world application for the screen rotation is for contract editing/text editing and that is something I do every day.

I had been waiting for a decent Chromebase/Chromebox and purchased the HP Chromebase based on this review by Chrome Unboxed. Previously, I was using the Acer Chromebox in my office. As with the Pixelbook GO (which I also purchased based on a Chrome Unboxed review), Robby's review is spot on. While I would have preferred and would be willing to pay more for an even higher quality AIO, the HP Chromebase is a terrific package at a decent price. I'm completely enjoying the AIO and would definitely purchase again and recommend. Great form factor, camera, speaker, microphone, and screen (although, would like a larger screen even more). I won't repeat what's stated in Robby's review, I'll just state again that his review is spot on.

Probably a bit late to comment but I just got a Black Friday Deal for this thing for around $400 - watched your video after that. I actually just looked at the specs and the design and thought that I can't go wrong with that. Chromebooks have been in use here for ages, we've been on Google Workspace ever since they were called "Google Apps for Business", so I knew what I was getting myself into. I fully agree with you and I was also overwhelmed by the display. I don't know if anything changed about the model ever since you had yours, but I don't have an issue with the volume rocker because there are actually keys on the keyboard to control volume. So the placement doesn't really concern me. Was that different on your device?

I wish it was 4K. another problem is that the screen doesn't rotate sometimes. a simple restart fixes that. the mouse and keyboard do have connectivity issues. It has a touch screen and an on screen keyboard so any connectivity issues can be easily fixed. My biggest problem is adaptive brightness. other than covering up the sensor, I can't seem to find a better solution. It's not in the settings & I couldn't find it on labs.

GREAT! Review! My Amex card is already starting to burn in my pocket! But to your point about phone shapes and functions: I 100000% agree. What is it going to take for someone to create a ‘round’ smartphone - like a compact/mirror? Imagine the old B&O MP3 player… now put it on the same design-timeline as the iPod went on to one day become an iphone. TA-DAH. You’d get a ‘round’ smartphone… tons of opportunities for innovating the inputs… opportunities to refine the overall device for portability, visibility…etc. Instead what do we have: Rectangles. One square that folds INTO a rectangle… and nothing else. It’s a shame to live in a world where the technology that allows us to build virtually ANY shape is met by the most mediocre demands.

I would expect this to sell much better at around $450 for an i3, because, basically, this is an i3 laptop, with a larger screen and no battery. And have you checked the price of screens lately, there isnt much of a difference between 17, and 25 inches

I think people are sleeping on Chromebooks. If you want a PC labtop with a premium build these days you get charged 2k! If you don't need Windows (ie don't game on steam). Not even stuff that is super speced out. Just a solid i7 labtop with premium build tends to be super expensive, even when they are not "gaming labtops." Meanwhile, you can get a premium build for a Chromebook for like sub $500 on sale. If you are not rendering 4k video, or a hard-core gamer, it seems like wasted money spending 3 or 4 times as much to run Windows vs Chrome OS. They also don't get slowed down by endless updates. I have to restart my surface pro 7 for an update seemingly everytime I use it

I've watched this video about 10 times now. Why, you ask? Because I want it SO bad. I currently have the 2020 Acer 713 and love it, but there's just something about having a dedicated desktop. Sure, you can plug your chromebook or laptop up to an external display, but there's a special something about being able to just sit down at your desk and start plugging away instantly - no dongles or cables to fiddle with. With the sleek all in one design, no need for external speakers and the versatile display, this chromebase is just begging to be a perfect solution to a minimalist desk setup.

@michaelcorcoran8768 2 жыл бұрын

I feel the same way man everyday I think about buying this. I don't need it, currently my setup is a 34 in ultra wide that I hook up into surface pro, which technically has more processing power than this. I also have the Lenovo duet and the tab S7 which can do some desktop productivity. But I don't have a dedicated desktop computer and sometimes I think I should get one. I don't edit videos so the Mac mini, and obvious choice for a lot of people, seems a little boring to me. But it's still definitely something of a luxury. But it has added features like compatibility as a home hub, and assistant, conferencing machine, and it will be a monster in terms of scrolling. I am a little worried I'll buy it and in a few months a new version will come out with QHD or other improvements. I have to admit using a surface pro with an external monitor isn't super ideal, as it gets really hot and doesn't have good battery life. I do like the idea of something that's always on even though I would technically have less processing power.
