Customer Ratings & Reviews

This laptop works great and offers everything a more expensive laptop would. Larger screen is a plus. This was a great investment for what I intend to use it for.

How this computer for not even a month and it is the worst computer

nboxing - The laptop comes boxed with a slim AC adaptor and setup card. It’s easy to set up - Just plug it in to charge and hit power. Windows 11 will walk you through all of the initial options. I appreciate the the packaging is entirely recyclable. First impressions - It’s a budget laptop, similar to a Chromebook. The build is mostly plastic but the chassis and screen do not have much flex in them. The screen feels adequately protected to be placed in a standard backpack or notebook case. The screen has accurate color and is quite bright. Once set up, I noted that the viewing angle sweet spot on the screen is quite narrow. This might present challenges if you have more than one person trying to watch a streaming service on the screen. The keyboard has quite a bit of flex in it but feels quite tough overall. Battery Life - I did not check the official rating or expectation, I found I could play through three feature length films and have 20-35 percent battery left. I was able to surf and read for hours without significant or fast drain. A few hours of Netflix was also possible. Connectivity - Wifi of course and also bluetooth. I was able to connect bluetooth mice, a headset and other devices without issue. Overall performance - Quite good for such a “low spec” machine - It’s always fun to use a laptop like this for everyday tasks and Have everything open quickly or play perfectly. Windows S Mode ? - Windows “S” mode is enabled out of the box. This is effectively windows home edition with extra safeguards in place where apps can only be installed from the windows store. I tested this and it worked as expected but ultimately disabled it to Install additional applications like visual studio code, openoffice and Blender3d. If I were setting this laptop up for pre-teen or inexperienced user - I would leave it in “S” mode. There is no cost to turn this mode off and windows becomes “Home edition”. Windows Recovery - If you want to restore this laptop to out of the box condition, it can do so from a hidden image on the internal storage. It can also be backed up and restored to a 128GB or larger USB drive. What I love ! Full size SD card slot to add storage Performance fine for daily tasks Great Battery Life - Plays through 3-4 movies ! Room for improvement - A backlit keyboard would be appreciated

HP has been a manufacturer I mostly trust when it comes to laptops. I mostly own higher-end models, but sometimes, all you need is a compact laptop that doesn't sound like a landing Boeing 747 and can handle simple tasks. No need to break the bank when all you do is shopping online or going through your emails. That is something that this HP laptop can do. The first aspect I'm going to discuss is a technical one, the heart of any system: The CPU. Intel has been known to develop low-end processors for quite a while. Their most successful one was the Atom CPU, which you will find re-branded to Celeron (which used to be a different tier of CPU's) inside this machine. It's not meant for heavy loads but is relatively cheap to produce. This HP laptop contains a "Celeron" N4500 which probably doesn't tell you a whole lot. Suffice to say that its dual core setup won't allow you to play much else than solitaire. The memory and storage follow the same path, with very limited resources to keep the price down. There are 4 gigs of RAM and 64 gigs of eMMC storage (a sluggish type of mass storage which is cheap to produce). Thankfully, instead of using a regular Windows 11 flavor, HP decided to go the more efficient route and use Windows 11 S, which is a stripped down version of Windows. Considering the available memory and storage, it was a good choice. I would argue that a Linux distribution would probably do a better job, but that also depends on which distribution you'd use. The biggest problem is the fact that Windows S does not allow you to install random software, as you must use the Microsoft Store to download what you need. Surprisingly, this little laptop comes with a nice amount of ports, including a Type C and a HDMI, along with the classic USB A and headphone jack, and to polish it off, you even get a SD card reader. The power adapter - sadly - isn't going through the USB port. Not that it matters much but it's harder to find replacements if it burns out. The screen is fine, nothing out of this world. The resolution is 720p which is pretty low and the colors and the contrast aren't great. The sound is what you would expect from a laptop of this caliber (even though it sounds alright using headphones). The materials which make up this laptop seem solid, maybe a bit too rigid which in return tells me that it will break easily without a protecting case or sleeve. The trackpad is just mediocre and feels wobbly. It's also rather small. The design is sleek and simple, the hinges of the screen are nicely tight. To wrap this up, let's just say that you get what you pay for, which in this case is a decent value for your buck. It's not built to run much else than office software, browse online or check the latest Youtube channels. That's pretty much it. So if you only need a compact laptop to do just that for a solid price, then go for it. It's a very good value.

This laptipworked great would recommend it easy to use as well

I was sold a computer with someone name already log into it

Affordability Many shoppers like this laptop because it's very budget-friendly. Given its specs, it’s a pretty good value for very light tasks. Portability Light and easy to carry, making it great for students, travel, or basic use. Good battery life per user reviews: some mention long battery durations. Simple, Everyday Use Well-suited for web browsing, doing schoolwork in Google Docs / Microsoft 365, or light productivity. People also like that it's “easy to use” — not overly complicated. Design / Build The Indigo Blue color is a nice touch; users like that it's not just basic black or grey. Micro-edge bezel gives a decent screen-to-body ratio — more screen, less waste. Strive Dreams Upgrade Potential Some users say you can upgrade the RAM and SSD (if there's an M.2 slot) — though it’s not super easy

A solid little machine if you need something functional and lightweight. It handles everyday tasks like email, browsing, and the slim design makes it perfect for travel. Just know the storage is very limited, so you’ll want to rely on the cloud or an external drive. If you need something simple and portable, it gets the job done.

Iit continues to cut off i could not find any body to take it back because of knee surgery.

Absolutely Loved it! High Star Quality, Packing Very Nice

Just buy a better brand lap top! Don’t waste your money.

It crashed already and I'm not really sure why. Paper weight.

This laptop seems to be designed as a basic device. I would feel it is intended as an economical choice for young students, or someone at home doing just the basic tasks - such as emails, light surfing, and videos. It is not intended for gaming, photo processing etc. It has basic hardware. A Celeron N4500 processor with 2 cores running at 1.1GHz, 4Gb ram, and 64Gb storage. The case appears to be all plastic, an attractive white that doesn't attract fingerprints. But, the case and screen felt sturdy enough, and the screen maintained its position well. There are a number of things to like about this computer. It is a good option for everyday tasks, and can open some multiple apps at the same time. It will also manage a few multiple browser tabs open at once. There is a good selection of ports. There is one USB C port, two USB A ports, HDMI port, headphone jack, power port, and a SD card slot. The SD card slot allows the card to be almost fully be inserted – it does not stick out, and be in the way as with some other laptops. The keyboard has good travel, and typing was easy. But be advised, the keys are light colored with gray lettering, and there is no backlight, so typing in dim light is not an easy task. The track pad worked well, but felt “plasticky” when clicking. The sound output from the speakers is adequate, with enough volume and reasonable tone from small laptop speakers. There are also some negatives. The screen has poor color rendition, it is only HD with 1366 X 768 resolution, and appears to be a TN screen - with poor off axis viewing. If the screen is tilted horizontally or vertically only a few degrees off center, it washes out. Also, I did note that while charging and updating, the bottom right area got quite hot. As received, it is running Windows 11 in S mode, which limits what apps can be downloaded. This can be oped out, but once done, it cannot be returned to S mode. However, to install “non microsoft” apps, you have to opt out... The storage is extremely limited, with only 64Gb as received, and after updates, there is only about 16Gb free. This is extremely small, and an SD card is an absolute necessity for storage. Overall, this could be a good choice for basic computing needs, if you keep in mind the limitations of the computer, and do not expect gaming performance.

If you are looking for a bare-bones, decent quality, and highly portable little laptop, this is a good choice. From a users standpoint, this is for very basic use. Wouold be great for a student. Certainly capable for using basic business suites (spreadsheets, word processing, basic visual presentations etcetera) as well as basic internet browsing. As for the portability I mentioned, it is thin and lightweight. Slips easily into a backpack and won't weigh you down. It has a quality feel and an attractive look. Another nice thing, it is really quite inexpensive, mso if you mare traveling or it gets lost or stolen, you not losing a $2000 souped up gaming mmachine. The processos is an Intel Celeron N4500 @ 1.1Ghz. Certainly a capable core for the thinngs I mentioned previously. It has 4 Gb of RAM. That's about the smallest and bare minimum in this day of age. One frusturating thing (and it's not a hardware fault, but rather a software {Windows, anyone?}) issueis the default "S Mode" in the Microsoft App store. This "disallows" the installation of any non-approved apps; So if you prefer any other browser (Chrome, DuckDuck Go, Firefox etc) youneed to turn off "S Mode". And in classic Microsoft fashion, they don't make it intuitive at ALL to do. As a techie guy, it took me a bit to fuigure it out. I looked MS support pages, and nothing they presented to turn it off was accurate. Again, not an HP hardware issue, but a Winows issue. In all, this is a great choice for basic, basic use.

This is a tough review for me to do. I was looking for a simple laptop that I could use strictly to surf the internet. By all accounts the HP DQ3000DX should fit the bill, but there are a few things that keep it from measuring up. When unboxing the HP dq3000dx my first impression was it was heavier than I had anticipated. I was amazed with the overall look and features it includes. The body of the laptop is made of plastic and has an inexpensive feel to it to keep cost down I suppose. Feature wise, the HP includes all the usual connections, multi card reader, 2 USB-A, 1 USB-C, HDMI output and a mini jack for headphones. The keyboard layout is comfortable and responsive, with good feedback. The screen is detailed enough for this price point. The operating system is Windows 11S to keep out unauthorized apps and maintain security of the system. Memory is handled by eMMC,( embedded MultiMediaCard storage), at 64 gigabytes. The downside for me is the speed at which the commands are executed. When launching a webpage there is almost a five count for the page to load. When having more than one page open on Edge, the secondary page never loads or takes an extraordinary amount of time to load. Pages that do load seem to freeze and say “ Page is not responding, do you want to wait or close”. At first, I thought it may be because I signed into my MS account and One Drive was enabled. So I reset the HP back to factory and signed into my MS account without One Drive and the behavior was the same. I checked to make sure all of the Windows updates had been complete. What I found was there were apps running in the background from HP and other bloatware. Once I went into the Apps Start up Mgr. and shut off all the apps from starting when the HP was turned on, the speed was better, but not great. When you look at task Mgr, the CPU is constantly at 100%. For my needs this is a pass. It is just too slow to do basic computing or internet surfing.

Excellent Laptop love the features and color layouts.

It's been a while since I have owned an HP PC. Let's get through setup... Setup was super easy. Charged it up. Fired it up and went through the step by step process. Windows updates took a bit. But nothing out of the ordinary. Comes with MS Office for 1 year free. Nice. Just gotta remember to either cancel or get a othe license cheaper elsewhere. Usability. Size is nice. Keyboard layout is nice. Not too compact to where you hit keys your don't want. Also peripheral availability is good .. USB C X1, USB A x 2, HDMI, headphone Jack, SD Card. Typical screen for budget laptop is a bit harder on the eyes. I wished companies made screens a bit better. Battery life is great. 5 straight days of about 4 hours each day and battery is still good. Internet use is good. Speed is pretty good online. Camera video calling is good. No issues. Color is nice. My wife really liked the nice clean white color. Overall. Great budget PC. If you are looking for a PC that is pocket friendly look no further here it is. Good job HP.

I recently purchased the HP 14" Laptop in the beautiful Snowflake color, and I absolutely love the aesthetic—it gives the device a sleek and stylish touch. In terms of portability, this laptop is lightweight and easy to carry, making it great for on-the-go use. However, I wish I had paid closer attention to the storage and memory specs. With only 64GB of storage and 4GB of memory, I’ve found that I quickly run out of space, even without downloading much. This has made managing files and apps a bit challenging. I may need to invest in a memory card or external storage to help with file storage and make everyday use more seamless. That said, it remains a convenient, compact option for those prioritizing portability and basic computing needs.

The HP 14" Laptop - Intel Celeron - 4GB Memory - 64GB eMMC - is a budget-friendly laptop with a starting price of around $169.99 [3, 8]. It is lightweight (around 3.2lb) and has a long battery life (up to 11 hours) [2, 3, 6]. Users consider it to be easy to use, attractive, and compact [2]. Here are some key points to consider before buying this laptop: Pros: Lightweight and easy to carry around [2, 3]. Long battery life allows for all-day use [2, 3, 6]. User-friendly and easy to set up [2]. Affordable price point [2, 3, 8]. Cons: Lower performance due to the Intel Celeron processor and 4GB of RAM [2, 4, 5]. This means it may struggle with demanding tasks like video editing or gaming [2]. Lower storage capacity (64GB) may not be enough for some users, especially if they plan to store a lot of files or videos [2, 5]. Lower resolution display (1366 x 768) may not be ideal for users who need a sharp picture for tasks like photo editing [2, 5].

I bought this HP on Black Friday, open box, excellent condition for $100. It has been a couple months, and I can't complain at all. I worked from home for two weeks and had no issues. I am going back to school, as well, and had a Mac for years that suddenly stopped working. I needed a quick, affordable solution, and this product gave me just that. It can be a little slow, and sometimes the mouse will stick for a few seconds, but that is to be expected for the price. I would definitely recommend if you are looking for a laptop with a budget. Decent battery life, nice display, and the color is a plus, as I have always been a fan of rose gold electronics.
