Biggest strike against Chromebooks, in general, is they tend to have smaller screens (11"-13") and lower resolution (not as good for watching videos). Also they have cheaper speakers.
HP has some good pries on their Pavilion 15z and 17z. Lots of upgrades available, but the best upgrade (IMHO) is the Full HD IPS screen (IPS is the same technology used in by Apple in their Retina displays).
Appreciate the info about the cheaper speakers. I do have a pair of speakers that I use on my present PC. I could use those if I desire better audio. I could probably get used to the lower screen resolution, or just use my Toshiba laptop for watching videos. I also have a tablet that runs Android that has pretty good resolution for videos on a smaller screen.
Being home alot because of the virus, I'm appreciating youtube videos more and more.:)
