Expert tester comments
HP's Laptop 14s can be considered good value for money since it costs under $900 (at the time of testing) and comes with a Full HD screen that features wide viewing angles. It also has a good range of ports, including USB-C (though this is not Thunderbolt). There are some drawbacks in the build quality, including a card slot from which SD cards are very hard to remove, and a shallow power button that can be hard to press cleanly.
