Expert tester comments
Don't expect a lot of speed from this HP Laptop 14. It has a slow CPU that will be noticeable when multitasking, in particular. It can be used effectively for single tasks, be they Web browsing, typing up a document, or watching a video. Its screen is not great, and we also noticed slower Wi-Fi compared to many other laptops on test.
