HP Googlebook 14 review: Not worth buying as long as it runs Googlebook OS

The HP Googlebook 14 is a laptop that exhibits the high quality and premium feel that HP is known for. Despite its attractive design, deep blue color, and excellent display, it is ultimately flawed by the weak and poorly designed Googlebook OS. This operating system is outdated, lacks essential features like x86 emulation, and has poor app support, making it difficult to use for many tasks.

The laptop's keyboard is praised as being among the best in class, but these issues ultimately make the HP Googlebook 14 not worth purchasing.
