Customer Ratings & Reviews

When I got this computer there wasn't much on the website describing what it was. I was able to get it and test it for a couple days. I will say that it took almost 2 weeks of constant fiddling with it for it to complete all the updates, get signed into all of the accounts that were important, and get it up and running. I originally got this computer for my son, unfortunately he isn't able to use it because it is not a touch screen, And for some of his school projects, it's much easier with a touch screen. I honestly didn't know they made laptops that are not touch screen...but I found it!! When he does use it, He's having a lot of issues using it. I honestly would return it if I could. It's pretty slow, and every update takes multiple hours. Other than that, it's a really beautiful white color, it does everything you need and HP to do. And it's the perfect size to work with or travel with. If you are looking for a cheap computer that will do the bare minimum, this is the one.

This computer is so slow and freezes a lot! Display is okay.

I really do not know, I was in the store and wanted a white one, this was blue

computer is ok do not like win11 should have opted for 10

worked only a couple days! dead. avoid this item

I wanted to run this laptop through its paces before I sat down to review it. I even let my mom test it out for a couple days. That said, this laptop “may” be good for senior citizens for some general web browsing but I would not wish this unit on students though. 4gb of RAM on a Windows PC is crawling. Using this laptop with this configuration really limits you to Chromebook functionality, and aside from web browsing and Word processing, your utility will be very limited. The display on this laptop is dull and very difficult to read. This is not a Chromebook and therefore should not act like a Chromebook. This is a Windows PC and you should be able to expect higher productivity. The build quality is flimsy and just a step above cardboard. The keyboard flexes when you type on it, the mouse pad is mechanical, and you feel it through every interaction. I would say that the price is its saving grace, but you can get a very functional and capable Chromebook that can do more than this Windows PC can.

I am very pleased with this laptop. The set-up was simple, it's easy to maneuver through the different programs. Installing programs/ apps are quick and painless. Browsing speed is phenomenal. I am very pleased with the battery life as my last laptop had a horrible battery life. Having more than one USB port is great. The clarity in the screen is incredible. It's so lightweight which is another great thing about it. Lastly great price!!

wayyyy toooo slow. couldnt even get into setupp of this thing horrible!!!

The laptop glitches and I am not able to retrieve my work from it

It Stopped working after 2 months of using it for my child’s homework.

To whomever is viewing this review, PLEASE do not get scared about the individuals saying this laptop is a slow, undesirable device. Simply, most of them have not or do not know how to rid the device of the pre-loaded bloatware which comes with it (standard practice for Windows machines). I am a guy who came from a $1400 M2 MacBook air which I thought for the money was just ok and opted for this device instead. Let me TELL YOU, once you open the box, turn the power on and allow the pc to download all necessary updates (took me about 2 hours for me to just sit and wait painfully).. This device is then ready to be utilized in FULL Windows 11 mode (not 'S' mode which is by default for this machine), de-bloated and de-animated (maximum performance) before full functionality that most of these reviewers are not receiving simply because they have not taken the time or do not know how to perform these steps. First to get out of the Windows 'S' mode, I recommend looking to the internet. Once out of 'S' mode, turn to the web browser (default Edge) and search for 'CC Cleaner'. This free program once installed on the machine will allow you to rid of all the bloatware programs (common Windows practice) that were installed on the device. Once the programs are all ridded of the bloatware, turn to the internet and see all the advanced Windows settings in regards to turning off unnecessary animations, game mode (not needed especially for this machine) and adjustments to the minimum processor speed for both battery and plug in. Once you turn off/tweak these critical settings, the device PERFORMS. In conclusion, this HP 14" is a wonderfully designed, steal of a product once ridded of all the unnecessary junk and tweaked to a stress free experience.

U love this laptop. It’s sleek and light weight. Very quick to setup. Gotta love hp

I knew what I was getting when I bought this laptop considering the price. A couple of things I've noticed / done to make it a travel laptop that I won't worry about if it gets stolen / lost: * Format the HD with Debian/Ubuntu as you soon as you buy it. I can't imagine using Windows on it considering the processor speed and memory * I had to disable the trackpad and use a USB mouse. It seems that it's easy for the trackpad to stay pressed continually, at least on mine, making the computer unusable. * Power / Suspend doesn't seem to work on mine. I had to disable suspend, so, when I close my laptop, it doesn't go into suspend mode. Not sure if it is a HW issue or SW, but, couldn't fix it. I'm willing to accept these flaws considering why I bought the machine.

Well, if you're looking at this computer, I'm guessing it's between this and a Chromebook. I never thought that I'd actually recommend a Chromebook (they've always struck me as "baby's first computer"), but I think that I have to... This machine is running Windows S. I figured, great! You can run some real applications on here. Not really. The "S" means that it's kept in the Windows sandbox and doesn't play with other programs. You're restricted to the app store just like a Chromebook, only Window's store isn't as extensive. Now that you can use Word, Excel, etc. through the Google store, you might as well get a Chromebook for school. This machine has similar specs to a Chromebook, so it should be similar, right? Nope. The specs of a decent Chromebook make for a laggy experience with a machine running even a limited version of Windows. But you can at least have a decent experience with web-browsing and some simple videos, right? Nope. The lag gets you again. I tried watching 480p videos on YouTube and you get sputters every minute or so, even with nothing else at all running in the background. Every aspect of this is a profoundly cheap machine. The screen isn't great, the audio isn't great, the keyboard feels cheap and flexes really easily. The design of the machine even makes it look like the keyboard is permanently flexed and I needed to use a ruler to see that it's actually flat. The plastic case feels cheap... Just get a Chromebook. Even a low-end one...

User friendly and easy setup. Great for basic use.

Good product with lovely price. What a lovely product

Easy to use and set up .. love the color ..was easy to set up with my printer..

This is my second purchase of this laptop. I bought one in 2023 for myself for college and I just bought my high schooler one. Simple laptop that meets our requirements.

Its been awhile since I've purchased a laptop, my experience at the Best Buy location was good, i had to wait for a few minutes before someone helped me, but i do love my computer

My wife is going back to school. This is perfect for her. Lightweight, compact and versitile.
