Selection HP Chromebook X360 13c selection of high -performance Chromebook X360 13c

I just reviewed the WindowsPC "HP Pavilion Aero 13-BE", which has a high cost performance on Japan HP, but this time I borrowed "HP Chromebook X360 13c" equipped with Chrome OS.Google's Chrome OS is an OS that is rising sharing, overtaking the share of MacOS.Chromebook equipped with Chrome OS is cheap, many models and few security problems, so it seems that it is quite adopted in GIGA School Concepts.In order to experience the evolution of Chromebook, I tried using the high -performance model "HP Chromebook X360 13C" with Intel Core i7 instead of a high cospa model.

The HP Chromebook X360 13C is a natural silver and a high -quality appearance that does not feel the cheapness that is common in Chromebook.The Chromebook logo is modest and the HP logo is also a simple premium model.I borrowed the 10th generation Intel Core i7-10510U processor, 16GB of memory, and 256GB of SSD 256GB.Weight is about 1.It is a little heavy as 36kg, but it is safe because of the durability of MIL-STD 810G.It is said that some of the materials use playback aluminum and ocean bound plastic.

The back is simple and you can see the holes of fans and speakers.It is similar to HP Pavilion Aero 13-BE, including non-slip.The size is exactly the same.

On the right side are SIM card slots, microSD card slots, USB Type-C, USB Type-A.USB Type-A has a structure in which the mouth spreads when inserted.

On the left side is the headphone terminal, USB Type-C, security lock, power button, volume adjustment, camera kill switch.The camera kill switch blocks the camera lens with a physical switch to prevent unexpected camera on.

The side is fashionable with a shiny shaving aluminum feeling.There is a little catch in the front center, so you can open the screen with a light force.

The screen can be stopped at your favorite angle,

It can rotate to 180 degrees and to 360 degrees.

The keyboard is a standard type and is very easy to hit.The backlight is also white and fashionable.Spires Stance prevents water spills.The function key is specially assigned to various functions.It is also convenient that the left and right of the space key are alphanumeric, like Mac.

Chromebook is also considering the use of children.

It also supports fingerprint authentication.

13.The 5 -inch WUXGA+(1920 × 1280) IPS display is quite wide.It is very narrow.Because it is a touch, it can be operated by touch.The color is a bit bad, but it may be the effect of the privacy screen.

The privacy screen just presses the function key above 8

A function that makes it difficult to see the screen from the diagonal direction.There is no need to put a privacy filter.This is a useful function when using a personal computer in public places.

画面が180度以上回転するので、テントスタイルで動画鑑賞なども可能。BANG & OLFSENと共同開発したというサウンドも、良い音がしますね。

If you rotate 360 degrees, it also supports touch operation, so you can use it like a tablet.You can also enter a pen if you purchase a USI (Universal Stylus Initiative) pen sold separately.

It can be charged rapidly with the attached 65W USB Type-C AC adapter.

For applications other than the applications lined up at the bottom of the screen, press the lower left icon, and a search bar will come out and search there.

If you pull it up further, it will be lined up in the list, so select it there.

I add an application on Google Play, but since the Android app can be used, quite abundant applications will move.

You can use Google Slides, Google Documents, and Google Spreadsheets for Office -based apps.(Each can handle PowerPoint, Word, Excel files.) Basically, there are many things that can only be used online, but these apps are turned on offline access.

You can edit it even offline.I thought Chromebook could only be used online, but it can be used offline.

If you have a Microsoft365 license, you can use each Microsoft Office app.This cannot be used unless it is online.

If you set it to automatically upload from a smartphone to Google Photos, you can list the photos taken with the Google Photo app.

In addition, it is possible to edit color tone correction etc. with Google Photo app.

If you want to correct it in earnest, the Lightroom app will also work (license required).Photo editing requires performance such as CPU, so it may not work crisp unless it is a high -performance model.

The screen capture allows you to take still images and videos from the lower right menu, and you can capture the entire screen with the function key above Ctrl + 4.The captured capture is in my file download folder.

If you press a space key while the file is selected, you can check the image and the information without opening the file.

Chromebook can be easily connected to a smartphone registered in the Google account.

When linked with Android smartphones,

Enable notification on the smartphone side

By allowing developer services, you can check your smartphone notification on Chromebook.

In addition, the function of instant tethering allows you to easily connect to the Internet via a smartphone.

Compared to using ordinary tethering functions, it is convenient to be able to connect only with the operation on the Chromebook side.

You can also insert a SIM card into the main unit so that you can connect to a 4GLTE mobile Internet.

I inserted Rakuten Mobile's SIM card, but I was able to access the Internet without any problems.I think it is good that various communication means are prepared because it is almost a Chromebook premised online.

By the way, I am worried about the performance because it is equipped with Intel Core i7, but since Chromebook cannot install native apps, I tried a benchmark test for Android apps.There is some overhead because it is an Android app.When I moved the benchmark software called Geekbench 5, it was a score of single core 1024 and multi -core 2282.

In the single core, it is faster than Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G.

Although it is inferior to multi -core, it was quite high in comparison with many Chromebooks.There is also an option to use it stress -free with a high -performance Chromebook, rather than cheap because it is a Chromebook.

Chromebook is less likely to upgrade or security of OS, and files can be referenced from another device if you put them on Google Drive, and there is no worry when the PC is broken.If you are in trouble, you can reset the settings to the state of shipment.Because customization is sacrificed, it is not suitable for the purpose of creating creative, special apps, or developing software, but lights that use web browsing, video appreciation, social networks, creating materials, and using WEB conferences.It is enough for some use.I felt that it was a good option for those who want to use a new computer for teleworks and remote classes that have become widespread due to corona.
