Are there any alternatives?

The Lenovo C13 Yoga Chromebook offers the same Chrome OS Enterprise support as the HP, without the same level of enhanced security. It’s also roughly the same price as a similarly configured AMD Ryzen 7 3700C CPU with 16GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD.

　　I haven’t mentioned it in this review, but the Dell Latitude 7410 Chromebook is a comparable enterprise machine that’s a few hundred dollars less expensive, coming in at $1,279 on sale for a machine with the same specs as our Elite C1030 Chromebook review unit (except for Dell’s 14-inch display). You’ll get similar build quality and performance, but none of the enhanced security features.

　　Finally, if you don’t need the Chrome OS Enterprise features, then the Acer Chromebook Spin 713 is a solid choice. It’s also quite fast and well built, and it costs about half as much money for a similar configuration.

　　

How long will it last?

The Elite C1030 Chromebook is extremely well built and equipped to power Chrome OS for years to come. You’ll also appreciate the three-year warranty that’s included with our review unit.

　　

Should you buy it?

If you’re an enterprise customer looking for a secure and manageable Chromebook, then the Elite C1030 Chromebook should be on your shortlist. Otherwise, you’ll want to save your money and go with a consumer Chromebook instead.
