Great for the cost. Top value for lower end computers

This is a nice, compact HP laptop. Only 14" - so smaller than a 17" that I prefer to use - but it's lightweight and really served it's purpose for working while traveling.
The BOX contained the laptop and power supply ... that's it! Things have certainly changed over the years! The initial turn-on / setup was easy but took over 2 hours! I didn't like getting a brand new laptop from HP and then have to spend the next 1 1/2 hours WAITING for Windows 11 to update. Really? This came directly from the manufacturer and should have had the latest updates to WIN11 already installed. I don't like Microsoft taking over my computers and forcing Windows/etc. updates. It's MY computer and they always screw something up or install "new features" that i don't care about nor want .... like Co-Pilot!
I always prefer numeric keypads since I enter lots of numbers for the work I do, and not having a numeric keypad makes my work time longer. The one thing I really liked was the keyboard; it has a "nice feel" ... hard to explain, but it made typing easier. The keyboard is laid out differently than the other laptop and desktop I use, so I found myself having to "hunt" for keys. At least with a WHITE keyboard it was easy to find those oddball keys that you need in normal use.
Processor speed was good and I didn't experience having to wait for applications to load ... it was all rather quick. Internet speed was good too!
The laptop had enough connectors for USB, etc.
I would recommend this HP 14" LAPTOP to anyone needing an inexpensive, lightweight computer to travel with. Now if I could elmininate some of the stuff I carry in my laptop bag while traveling....

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.
