Not durable at all very quickly was broke pefer pc over labtop

Ok laptop for the price. For the price point you can’t really complain.

Good for general and she. Not the fastest computer though.

Basically you get what you pay for. The screen blacks out, and I have to continuously hold the power button to reboot the laptop which can take up to 20 minutes. This is a toy for a toddler.

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

I get it it’s a low price laptop but absolutely no memory other than that it’s good

It’s very slow don’t buy it it’s not worth it pay a little bit more and get a better quality the downloading watching YouTube or zoom very slow

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

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....

This my review of this HP Burst laptop. It is a great basic laptop. The out-of-box experience was really good, after a sign-in of my Microsoft account and a few Windows 11 updates, it was up and running with no issues. The performance is just ok, it is not a high performance laptop that you would play graphic intensive games on. This HP laptop will do all of your everyday basic computing needs. I had no problems with Facebook, X, Instagram, Gmail, Youtube, etc. The battery life was really good and would last longer with the battery saver mode that is available. The 4GB of memory isn't really enough nowadays and I did notice Windows 11 slowing down when having multiple tabs open in Edge, Chrome, or Brave. The 64GB of onboard storage is also on the small side. But, for what this laptop is being marketed towards, it will be fine and an external SSD are getting cheaper all the time. I really wish that HP would have decided to use the now standard USB C charger for this laptop instead of what it has. I was surprised to see the SD card slot on the side, it also has HDMI, 2 USB A ports, A USB C port, and a headphone port. The onboard Bluetooth worked well in my testing. The camera was good, but for some reason, it was not working with the Windows Hello feature. This is a good basic laptop that will do what most people need to do, just don't expect it to be a gaming laptop. I really like it and it will be travelling with me daily as it is lightweight and works well for what it is.

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.

worked only a couple days! dead. avoid this item

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

This is very much meant to be a more budget-friendly laptop, meant for those who need the very basics without too much else. You won't be able to store much on here, so you will likely want to keep this as a simple work device when away from home. You could probably stretch this out further by uninstalling some of the apps it comes with, but even the essentials are going to take up most of your hard drive. Be wary that you may have issues just starting up the laptop for the first time. When I got to the Windows Update screen, the whole process got stuck and forced me to hard-reboot the laptop, which ended up restarting the set-up altogether. It eventually did go through, but it's a very glaring mark on this laptop. Another piece of advice is to turn off the "S mode", which forces you to use Microsoft's own store for all of your app downloads. I'm sure most people use a variety of programs, so you don't need your own computer telling you what you can and can't use. I've gone over the negatives I've found, but there are some positives. The laptop itself feels sturdy despite being lightweight, and the keyboard is large enough to feel comfortable typing on (in fact, I'm using it to write this review). Sounds and video have played well enough from my experience, and at the very least it can handle some light streaming. Battery life seems adequate, and will likely vary depending on what you're doing at the time, but if you're just checking emails you could probably keep this unplugged all day with no worries. As I said before, this is very much designed to be your standard work machine without the bells and whistles. You won't be doing much if any gaming on it, and it's best saved as an emergency machine or for something to bring on trips if you need something for work or with a keyboard. I would advise testing one out in-store before deciding if this is for you.

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.

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.
