If you're looking for a basic, cost effective Chromebook, then this HP Chromebook will hit that mark. It has and does everything anyone would need for basic computing. I have several laptops and Chromebooks and my personal preference is to use Chrome os on all these units. So I'm quite familiar with it. This particular laptop has all the basic functions and inputs that most people, and in particular, I think HP had students in mind for this unit. It has usb-a, HDMI, usb-c and a headphone jack. It even has an SD card reader, which I like but have noticed that most newer laptops has forgone this feature. The laptop itself is snappy and loads most things in a well time manner. It's not going to win any speed races against other computers, but for basic use, it's fine. The keyboard and mouse track are sufficient and didn't give me a feeling of some cheap computers I've ran across. The screen is just ok, and again perfect for basic use. I don't recommend using it in any bright areas because it does wash out. Speakers are good to use in normal environments. For your basic laptop, HP did a good job building a quality unit

Weighing less than 5 pounds, it is thin and easy to transport. No fans nor high processor power demands provided all day use. The on-board Solid-State Drive is ample for basic programs and documents. 4 gigs of RAM compliment the lean power demand as does the graphics display whose maximum resolution is 1366 x 768. The display is sharp and easy on the eyes. As with most displays, it can be set to might mode.
The CPU is an INTEL N150/ According to Intel’s website data, the Intel Processor N150 is the slowest mobile processor of the Twin Lake family. Twin Lake is mostly identical to Alder Lake-N, an architecture that will turn 4 this summer, 2025. The N150 is meant for entry-level laptops, tablets and mini-PCs with no fans; it offers 4 Efficient (Gracemont) cores that run at up to 3.6 GHz, but no Performance cores. Compared to the N250, the N150 has a significantly slower iGPU and slightly lower CPU clock speeds.
I like the SD slot on the left wall of the laptop. The right side sports the power connector, two (2) USB-A and one (1) USB-C ports, and a standard headphone/mic jack. Working with the mouse pad is flawless.
I’m not pleased with the keyboard. There are no raised touch points on the all-flat keyboard keys. The keys themselves work well and provide good tactile feedback, are quiet, but I easily get lost as I am not a touch typist. Also, since my vision is not as good as it once was, the contract of the thin black lettering against the grey keytops is extremely hard to see. Definitely meant for someone with better typing skills than me.
HP provides the basic windows 365 apps, word, excel, PowerPoint, and outlook as well as a one drive account if you activate it for one year. The laptop starts out in “S” mode so only certified Microsoft Store apps can be loaded. This can be changed by activating standard Windows HOME mode, not reversible. As for other software, X-Box abilities and Game Bar are included. A fair entry level PC.

This 14 inch HP Laptop is just the perfect size for me to move from room to room when I need to look at something with a screen larger than my cellphone. It has all the capabilities of a regular computer and it is light weight so I can move around with it with ease. It boosts up really fast with no lagging. I am very please with this laptop. I would recommend it to others that may be looking for a small computer when a cellphone or a tablet screen just want do. I did not have any issues downloading my software, setting up my email or connecting to my HP printer. Everything was quick and easy! This was a great buy.

This inexpensive laptop came with a modern N150 quad core processsor and all the productivity software necessary to work on the go. Ideal for students and those not seeking a high end gaming system. This can handle all your personal computing needs. Decent display and sufficient storage for personal computing. You will need to rely on cloud storage or external drive if you have lots of large files.
All in all a great value proposition from HP & Best Buy, very pleased.

I bought this HP 14" Laptop (Intel N150, 4GB Memory, 128GB UFS) for my father, and it has been perfect for his needs. He mainly uses it to send emails and type documents, and it runs smoothly without any issues. The setup was easy, the screen is clear, and the keyboard is very comfortable for everyday typing.
It’s lightweight, reliable, and user-friendly—great for anyone who wants a simple laptop that just works. For the price, this is an excellent value, and I’m very happy with the purchase. Highly recommend!

Amazing for school and office work. I also play a little Roblox on it but thats the most it’ll support gaming wise. Battery life is ok, but me personally im not on the computer all day. I’ll start one class at 100% and be at 60-50% at the end of that class. So if you’re on the computer more often than me then you’re 1000% gonna have to care the charger with you. The speed is great. And for the screen it’s good but it could be better. Overall for a person like me who uses my computer everyday but not for hours I give it a 5 stars

I purchased this as a web-searcher/social media device. Just something that I can browse the web and social media while relaxing in my recliner or wherever I happen to be. Nice compact size, set up was easy, pages load quickly, no issues. Great device for the price!! (deal of the day!) Also, I was pleasantly surprised with the ports, usually a laptop at this price point has limited ports, but this has 2 usb A, 1 usb C, 1 hdmi port and a media card reader along with a headphone/microphone jack.

Great laptop for the money. I bought this for personal use and it is the perfect size, has a great display and easy to set up. I have always had HP computers and I do have an HP desktop, but I needed a laptop for portability. This was a great deal!

Bought this laptop as an end-of-year prize for the students at my school. It's a great value as long as you're not expecting some sort of performance gaming computer.
While not blazing fast, it handles most apps pretty well. A user would most likely want to use this laptop for doing web research while working on a school project, or for typing up
The keyboard feels great and overall design of the laptop is comfortable and just big enough to keep your eyes from having to squint at small objects on the screen.
Again, this laptop should be considered for low-demand projects and apps, but it's definitely worth the money!

This laptop has exceeded my expectations—smooth performance, long battery life, and great design. What made the purchase even more special was the excellent customer service. The gentleman who helped me went above and beyond to explain all the options and made sure I got exactly what I needed. It wasn’t just a purchase, it was a great experience start to finish.

This product is very easy to setup and use for my 10 year old grandson. Not bad for a first time owner still learning. It has a very good ram and quick loading data processor. Won't be disappointed. Very good for the price. Long life battry charge. Nice value of the background being clear not blurry at all. Highly recommend for pre teens.

Easy purchase in store. Great looking laptop in this color. Purchased to update from older, similar Windows10 HP laptop (this one has Windows11) my daughter uses for her job/personal life. Easy to carry with accessories in a backpack. It was quick and easy to setup and get started; it leads you thru process. She's been using it for a few weeks now and has not mentioned a problem. Purchased due to the great sale price and moderate upgrade in memory. (128GB instead of 64GB) She purchased a 128GB Mini SD card to insert and use as extra memory. I almost forgot, when you look at pictures of similar HP laptops you are considering, be sure to check both side views for the various inputs/outputs. This one has a couple USB, a USB-C, HDMI, headphone/microphone, and a multi type card reader slot. It also includes pretty much the latest Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capabilities. There are also other color versions available with the same specs for the same price. Look at/Read Best Buy on-line ad for more accurate description, I'm no expert. On-Sale price was Great.
