HP Chromebase All-in-One 22
Starts at $479.99
The HP Chromebase All-in-One 22 is a rarity among Chrome OS devices: It’s an all-in-one (AIO) desktop, not a laptop. Instead of a Chromebook you might use for school or as a secondary computer, the Chromebase is meant for your den or kitchen. And it’s no ordinary AIO: In addition to using Chrome OS instead of macOS or Windows, the HP Chromebase stands apart from the AIO crowd with a display that can rotate between landscape and portrait modes. We’re not completely sold on the rotating touchscreen panel, but we found plenty to like about this attractive, affordable, and unique Chrome OS computer. It earns an Editors’ Choice award among budget AIO desktops.
HP Chromebase All-in-One 22
PROS Attractive, space-saving design. Rotating display useful for some websites. High-res webcam. Booming audio. Includes wireless keyboard and mouse. Affordable as configured.
CONS Display isn’t the sharpest. Occasional screen-rotation hitches. No side-mounted ports.
BOTTOM LINE The HP Chromebase All-in-One 22 is a well-designed, good-looking Chrome OS computer with a host of attractions for home use, including a rotating display.
