HP Laptop 14 (AMD) (2021)

HP Laptop 14 is one of the most popular mid-range laptop models today. Featuring a compact, elegant, and luxurious appearance along with stable performance, it helps run all multitasking tasks smoothly. But compared to competitors in the same segment, what are the advantages of the HP Laptop 14? Let's join Hung Phat for a detailed review in the article below.

Elegant HP Laptop 14 Design

In recent years, HP's office laptop lines have always been highly rated for their beautiful and luxurious designs. And the HP Laptop 14 is no exception. Although it belongs to the mid-range segment, the HP Laptop 14 possesses a luxurious and modern beauty that is no less than any high-end laptop line.

The chassis is made of sturdy aluminum in a luxurious silver color. The shiny HP logo is printed in the center of the lid, making it look even more modern. The hinge is sturdy and flexible.

HP Laptop 14 is also a highly portable laptop. It weighs only 1.47kg, making it easy to slip into a backpack or handbag to carry to work, school, or a cafe with friends.

HP Laptop 14 Connectivity Ports

HP Laptop 14 has relatively few ports, but it still meets all the most essential ones, including: one USB Type-C port, two USB Type-A ports, one HDMI port, a power port, and a 3.5mm headphone jack.

Additionally, it features wireless connectivity such as Wi-Fi 5 AC and Bluetooth 5.2. This allows your laptop to easily connect to Wi-Fi in crowded places like meeting rooms, cafes, etc.

A Screen for a Great Experience

HP Laptop 14 features a 14-inch Full-HD (1920 x 1080 pixel) anti-glare IPS display. It delivers vivid and realistic images when browsing the web or watching movies.

Although the manufacturer announces the HP screen brightness at 250 nits, in real-world testing, we measured a maximum brightness of 238 nits. However, this is not too bad; for a mid-range price point, this brightness level is acceptable.

In addition, the contrast of the HP Laptop 14 is rated relatively high. This is also one of the advantages that Hung Phat highly appreciates in this laptop.

Besides the quality screen, it also features a pair of speakers on both sides of the laptop. They provide loud, clear sound that does not distort even when played at full volume. At the current time, with its mid-range price, the HP Laptop 14 is one of the best laptops for external speakers.

Impressive HP Laptop 14 Performance

From its launch, HP has promised that the HP Laptop 14 is an extremely stable office laptop. The configuration we evaluated features an AMD Ryzen 3 5300U processor with a 2.1GHz clock speed (6 cores, 12 threads), 8GB RAM (on one slot), a 256GB SSD, and AMD Radeon graphics.

Designed to serve office work, the HP Laptop 14 will well handle tasks in word processing, creating spreadsheets, emailing, and web browsing without any obstacles. Additionally, with this configuration, the HP Laptop 14 can also run some basic 2D graphic design software like Photoshop, AI, etc.

On the other hand, although the AMD Radeon graphics card cannot handle modern AAA games well, you can still play basic games like DOTA2, LOL, etc.

Keyboard and Touchpad Experience

Due to its compact design, the HP Laptop 14 cannot be equipped with a numeric keypad. Its keyboard has a compact design but still offers deep key travel and a reasonable layout with enough spacing so users can type comfortably.

The keys provide fast and accurate feedback, helping you avoid "typos" during the typing process.

The Touchpad of the HP Laptop 14 is designed quite large and spacious for easy cursor movement. The touchpad is responsive and supports both physical clicks and Precision Touchpad gestures. This is a good touchpad with nothing to complain about.

Battery Life

Despite being in the mid-range segment, the battery life of the HP Laptop 14 is rated quite well. In real-world experience, when browsing the web with the screen at 50% brightness, this laptop can last 7 hours and 21 minutes.

Not to mention, this computer also features fast charging: it reaches 37% battery in 30 minutes, 87% after one hour, and 100% after an hour and a half. This allows you to work comfortably all day with just a single charge.

Conclusion

In short, with a price starting from only 16 million VND, the HP Laptop 14 is a perfect choice for students and office workers. Its beautiful design, high portability, stable performance, and long-lasting battery life help this laptop stand far ahead of many competitors in the same segment.
