Let me first say this is my 3rd Chromebook that I use for work and pleasure.  My first was an ACER 13.  It was good, but extremely slow. I bought the HP X360 14 Chromebook to replace it.  That Chromebook was a very good Chromebook, but I returned it. It was extremely fast, screen was good, keyboard and track pad were excellent, but the screen was very dim, and had screen wobble in the hinges.  I bought the Dell Inspirion 14 for my wife for work, but then after spending some time with it, it ended up winning me over.  Let me explain.1.  The screen is night and day from the HP X360 Chromebook.  The screen on the Dell is so much brighter and the colors seem to pop more.  I ran them side by side and at all brightness levels you can clearly see the difference.  Since I interact with the screen the most, this was important to me.2.  While the look of the HP Chromebook grew on me with its two toned color choice, the Dell not only looks more premium in person, more professional in person, but it is built like a tank and you can see and feel the difference.  I am not saying the HP feels cheap in any way, but the Dell just feels more substantial in the hand.3.  The keyboard is easier to read in bright light on the Dell.  This may not be a big issue for some but it is for me.  The letters show up more on the black keys on the Dell than they do on the blue keys on the HP.  I will say the typing experience on the HP is slightly better than the Dell due the great track pad on the HP.  It is made of glass where the Dell's track pad is not.4.  The Dell comes with a built in stylus and digitizer that makes it work.  Please not I can also use my Galaxy Note 9's S-Pen on this screen as well.  You cannot use a stylus on the HP.  Some may not be concerned with this, but at times I need to be able to sign documents, and have my clients sign documents when I am out of the office.My only 2 complaint are 1. the HP was lighter in weight than the Dell.  You will get used to the weight, it is still portable, and if you are coming form a lighter laptop, I would be lying if I said you would not notice the difference, because you will.  2. the wifi is not as strong as the HP.  I haven't dropped signals, but I notice the HP kept a stronger signal for farther distances than the Dell.  My wifi is upstairs and my home office is down stairs and I still have a  good signal as I type this review.  You will not loose the signal, I just wanted to be honest as to what I notice between the two.That's it.  I have this Chromebook, my wife has this Chromebook, and my kids now want this Chromebook.  It is an excellent alternative for anyone looking for a premium, well built, and fast laptop.  I bought i on sale for $400 on one of the sales on Amazon.  If you get at that price this is a no brainer. But even at $500 you will enjoy this thoroughly.
