Officeworks recently dropped the price of this new Chromebook (introduced late 2019) to $599 while JB HiFi was concurrently doing a $100 gift card deal, so it seems that JB matched the price but kept the bonus gift card too.

I picked one of these up because of the decent keyboard, good 3:2 display, metal build, USB C charging ports on both sides and better spec compared to some of the other cheaper Chromebooks. So far I am happy, though the trackpad is a bit jumpy. I had a look at the 14" version in the store that is also on sale, but the display is noticeably worse (poor colour saturation).

Specs:
12" diagonal HD+ IPS micro-edge WLED-backlit multitouch-enabled edge-to-edge glass, 235 nits, 50% NTSC (1366 x 912)
Intel® Pentium® Silver N5000 processor (1.1 GHz base frequency(2b), up to 2.7 GHz burst frequency(2c), 4 MB cache, 4 cores)
8GB RAM
64GB eMMC storage
Intel® UHD Graphics 605
2 x USB-C 3.1 Ports
1 x USB-A 3.1 Port
Multi-Format Digital Media Card Reader
Webcam
Intel® Wireless-AC 9560 802.11 b/g/n/ac (2x2) Wi-Fi® and Bluetooth® 5 Combo (MU-MIMO supported)
Chrome64 OS

      yep better screen specs though at the cost of a full size usb port and card reader

      • boxall on 20/01/2020 - 23:08

        X2 has a card reader. Better processor maybe?

        • Wilburre on 21/01/2020 - 11:29

          x2 has a micro sd card slot for expansion so I guess you could say thats a card reader. This one sounds like its full size. Honestly I don't think processor and 8gb ram are going to make any difference to most people - you're limited by the OS. Storage, display, IO are whats important in this space.

    Google is having a laugh with these Chromebooks. They are always underspeced for the price. 64GB of slow cheap eMMC and a Pentium for $599. Just having a same look at the same seller - you can get an Acer Aspire 3 with 128GB of SSD and an i3-10110U for the same price.

      Wouldn't it be better to compare HP with HP from the same seller - In this case it's $200 more expensive for same processor and comparable specs, 8GB of RAM to make up for the less storage (which I hardly use on a Chromebook) - so maybe Microsoft is laughing: https://www.jbhifi.com.au/products/hp-pavilion-x360-11-ap000…

      That Acer has no touchscreen. Not convertible. Half the RAM. No USB-C.
      It's better in some ways, but it's just different. Many Chromebooks forgo the best storage or CPU for other features.

    Now $479 + $100 gift card.
