The HP 14-dq3000dx is a basic and entry-level computer aimed at a younger crowd or those who want simple device. If you’re looking for a speed machine then this device is not for you. That said this HP laptop is a 14 inch laptop being in the middle of large and small laptops which is the sweet spot for me. The housing is termed snowflake white which actually reminds me of an older computer named after a fruit. At least it’s not in the usual black or silver. It is powered by the older Celeron 4500 chip which is not really fast enough for heavy computing. But still it is sufficient enough for general use. However it only comes with a measly 4GB of RAM which is not really that much and may hinder performance. Had it come with 8GB of RAM performance would much be better. Also, it comes with 64GB of eMMC. Again this is not the fastest. Like most computers of this class, these would not be expandable. Then again I surmise the target market of this computer is not really going for expansion options.
This computer comes with Windows 11 in S Mode. For those who are not familiar with S Mode, this is the version of Windows that only allows apps to be installed from the Windows store. This is done for security purposes. But for those who want to install apps outside the Windows store, there is a way to set the version of Windows to the regular version. This version is the Home version. And once you switch to the Home version, there is no way to revert back to S Mode. Lastly, this laptop includes an initial subscription of Microsoft 365. That alone is more than half the cost of this laptop. Do note this applies only to new users only.
Connectivity is fairly good for this class as it has two USB B ports. I am not sure if these are USB 3 compliant as there is no documentation regarding this and both do not have blue markings on the ports. It does have a USB C port which is new for me regarding this class of PC. And lastly, it does have an HDMI port and an SD card reader. Lastly battery power is fairly adequate since it has three cells which would last you between two to four hours. Your mileage may vary depending on use.
Overall this is a decent laptop for its price. Again this is not a fast machine but it has its target market. I’d still recommend this laptop.

The laptop came well sealed, in excellent condition with a charger, it's like new, no damage. It was very easy to set up, I did it by myself following the instructions. The only problem i have the battery drop a little too fast. It's nothing I don't use it every day. I Added Photos for reference. If you need a second laptop, this one is a good choice (4GB memory, 64GB eMMC), great size, not big, good price.

Decent laptop for the price. A few things need to be disaabled and jailbroke to make it fully functional for me.
The lack of lightning capable USB-C was annoying.

I love it! I’m not really tech savvy but it does what I need it to do. The graphics are amazing, the color is my favorite color and it has the operating system that I need. It definitely is a worthwhile investment and I couldn’t beat the price!

I love this little laptop. I especially love the color and perfectly compact to tote with me. It was a bargain for less than $200. The only thing that bothers me is that a couple times it didn't power on unless I hold power button for a minute. I guess I will live with that because I passed the 14-day return period.

If I could give no star I would. I purchase this laptop for my son to use for school purposes and in less than 30 days the laptop kept shutting off by itself and kept giving error codes. It won’t allow you to stay on a webpage for more than 10 minutes before cutting off repeatedly. It’s very annoying. I tried to return in store and I was denied a refund because it was pass 14 days. To only give 14 days on an electric is ridiculous. The laptop been giving problems since the first use. To be stuck with this laptop that doesn’t work is unfair. I was sent to geek squad and they wanted $100 just to run diagnostic to figure out the problem and then I will have to pay additional to fix the problem. This was just robbery because this laptop has no use…

Bought this laptop today looking to improve my time working since my old laptop was very slow at what i needed it to do for me and with this laptop i was able to work at least 80% faster and it was crazy!, ALSO!! 0 NOISE coming out from this computer so you can definitely work in peace with this device!.. i am looking forward for a nice working from home shift tomorrow and i would definitely recommend this computer to everyone in need of a business/work computer… the color is just amazing and very stylish btw!… also don’t forget to pair your purchase with an sd card for more memory for your documents or pics etc etc, it’s advertised as 64gb but after software and all the stuff it comes down to 33gb so keep that in mind!… + i bought the 25 dlls microsoft mice and it also works amazing! Overall it’s a GREAT laptop for the price and for the time im gonna need it and use it it will help me a lot!
Great personal home laptop and perfect for travel!

This little laptop is great for online surfing and searching, checking e-mails, writing essays, and streaming/watching videos. At a sensible economical price point, you can’t go wrong for personal use.

I love the laptop. The size, the lightweight and even the pearly iridescent white color. However, it is so slow and I'll be returning it. I can't get anything done and it's so discouraging.

I brought this laptop for my 8 year old Son and it’s perfect!! I love this shade of blue. He had a Chromebook but I needed to upgrade him to a Windows platform so he could download needed programs and of course, Roblox!! Lol. He loves it!

Good for school but not to play games as its memory of only 4gb is not enough for u to save or download large files i can still play like in cloud gaming like fortnite and minecraft but it will lag from time to time it all depends on your wify sped aswell

Although it takes a minute to refresh from time, it makes a great laptop to my son for homestudies. He easily navigates on his own, as well as enjoys it. Lightweight and battery life is pretty fair.
