This HP 14-inch laptop offers an Intel N150 processor, 4GB RAM, and 128GB UFS storage. Its 1366×768 display is dated, but sufficient for basic tasks. Windows 11 Home is in S mode and has an 11-hour battery life, which are pluses.

HP is offering a great deal on its 14-inch laptop, currently priced at $169.99 on Best Buy, but that’s a big drop from its regular price of $219.99. This is a great laptop if you need a PC for basic web browsing and productivity work.

The laptop comes with an Intel Processor N150, a quad-core processor that can reach speeds of up to 3.6 GHz and has 6MB of L3 cache. While this is an entry-level processor, it should handle everyday tasks like web browsing, email, and basic document editing without much trouble. It has 4GB of DDR4 RAM running at 3200 MHz, so multitasking will be limited but still manageable for light workloads. Storage is handled by a 128GB UFS drive, which provides decent speed for a laptop in this price range.

The 14-inch display has a resolution of 1366 x 768 (HD), an anti-glare coating, and a brightness of 250 nits. While the resolution is lower than many modern laptops, the anti-glare coating helps with outdoor use, and the 62.5% sRGB color coverage will give you decent color accuracy for everyday tasks. Graphics are handled by integrated Intel Graphics, which are fine for basic use but not suitable for gaming or video editing.

Battery life is one of the laptop’s strong points, with a 3-cell, 41Wh lithium-ion battery that can last up to 11 hours on a single charge. It also supports HP Fast Charge, which can recharge the battery to 50% in about 45 minutes. For connectivity, the laptop includes Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.4, one HDMI 1.4 port, one USB-C 3.1 port, two USB-A 3.0 ports, a headphone jack, a microphone input, and an SD card reader.

Other useful features include dual microphones with noise reduction, an HP True Vision HD camera for video calls, and custom-tuned stereo speakers. Compared to other laptops in the same price range, it’s a good deal. At $169.99 on Best Buy, this HP laptop is a solid value with its discount from the regular $219.99 price.
