The HP C640 is a durable, firmly built Chromebook with a good trackpad and monster internals that cost around $1100. However, that price tag makes this device hard to recommend to the average user out there. Take the Acer Spin 713, for instance. It packs 8 GB RAM and an Intel Core i5 and costs around $600. Those specifications, along with other good features, make the 713 a remarkable premium-range option that’s probably more than enough for many people out there. The point being, if such less pricey alternatives are available, no one would opt for an $1100 HP Chromebook with a substandard screen. However, those who prefer having top-of-the-line, maxed-out specs will get this device, but we think otherwise for those looking for an affordable yet handsome experience.

HP Pro C640 Chrome Enterprise has top-notch security features and decent battery life, but its dim display is a bummer.

Sleek, impressive and powerful, but the HP Pro c640 Enterprise Chromebook can’t quite justify the price

To its credit, the HP Pro c640 boasts a fantastic battery life and an exceptionally comfortable keyboard which makes it genuinely enjoyable to use for day-to-day tasks such as word processing. There are several black marks, however, mainly taking the form of a poor display and a fiddly trackpad.

The HP Pro c640 Chromebook shines in a number of areas, including the battery life, the typing and trackpad experience, and the processing power on board. It has some very useful extra features too, though there are also some weaker points to talk about too.
