HP 14 Laptop, AMD Ryzen 5 5500U, 8 GB RAM, 256 GB SSD Storage, 14-inch Full HD Display, Windows 10 Home, Thin & Portable, Micro-edge & Anti-glare Screen, Long Battery Life (14-fq1021nr, 2021)

I finally broke down and replaced my old 15.6 inch screen Asus laptop. This 14 inch screen sits a lot easier on my lap while I am in my recliner and work, play, or simply shop on-line. It loads up incredibly faster than the old one and is much easier to use. It does everything I wanted it to do and it doesnt freeze up or slowww down constantly. It stays cool while sitting on my lap and has excellent battery life. The old one would just about roast your acorns after a short time as it got very hot on the bottom. Highly recommend this laptop.

PROS:

I grabbed this laptop as a cheap machine for some light web use, but mostly programming. As soon as i received this machine, naturally my first step was to cure the SSD of the disease that is Windows and installing a linux distro, more specifically i chose Kali. Then began the headaches. To make what was literally 14ish into a very short story, installing the needed drivers for this machine was a terrible experience. Honestly, after all the time i spent troubleshooting, a part of me wanted to keep this laptop, until i read that some of the issues are fixes I would need to correct every new version of Kali. Pass. Congrats to hp however, they managed to make linux complicated before even cracking open the terminal. If youre looking to install linux on this machine, and running scripts from a dozen different git repos doesnt sound all that appetizing, i suggest you select one of the thousands other everyday-use laptops at a similar price point.

Cant handle any USB devices, I thought it was the devices until I used them on my other HP and Mac. This is just trash. I had to get something in a quick amount of time to replace my other HP, Im done with PC laptops. Im ready to get back on the desk top horse. Im gonna throw this out the window as soon as I get a desktop.

Hands down the worst laptop Ive ever experienced using

U travel laptop. Works great and is very fast.

I initially liked this laptop as it is sleek and lightweight, and has the computing power I needed for photo & video editing. But it’s simply stopped turning on. It doesn’t even react to being charged anymore. It happened only a few months in to owning it.

When I received this item the box was completely destroyed then when I charged it and tried to set it up I couldn’t connect to the internet. When I ran a diagnostic on it the computer was missing the component that it needed in order to connect to WIFI.

awesome product thank you so much

Only problem was mine had about 3 dead pixels near the top right but they are so small its negligible. Get an extra RAM and you wont regret it.
