HP Pavilion 14-Al008Ur

The Pavilion lineup of HP aims at bringing affordable multimedia notebooks, which are not only suitable not for work, but also for entertainment, to the table. With the Pavilion 14, HP makes for a compelling value for a low price. Hence, it is unsurprising that it does not come with an aluminum frame. Despite the main material used for its construction is plastic, it is not a bad design altogether. It still boasts a durable and compact built, but adding all of its components the laptop only weighs in at 1.7 kg and is up to 19 mm of thick. Overall, the size of the Pavilion 14 is manageable and can easily fit into most bags. A pair of chrome-covered hinges not only keeps the screen firmly in place but also gives it a touch of premium appearance. The Pavilion 14 sports a glossy 14-inch display with Full HD resolution (1920 x 1080 pixels) and a pixel density of 157 PPI. It is evident that high resolution and color accuracy were not considered important in this variant. Yet, the display is more than sufficient for a typical budget laptop to watch videos, surf the Internet and other daily tasks. Resting above the display is an HP Wide Vision HD webcam with a resolution of 0.9 megapixels. It is accompanied by a dual array digital microphone that promises excellent voice quality for video conferencing. The Pavilion 14 also has a full-sized island-style keyboard that is well-spaced and quite pleasant to use compared to other mid-range devices. There is nothing to grumble over either, as the keys are not too springy or hard. The Clickpad is also pretty standard fare. It is spacious, has a smooth surface and does its job adequately. The Pavilion 14 uses an Intel Core i3-6100U dual core processor with a base clock of 2.3 GHz, delivering fast performance and impressive speed. The Pavilion 14 also comes equipped with a 128 GB M.2 SSD hard drive, complemented with 6 GB of RAM. According to HP, the Pavilion 14 achieves a battery life of about 10 hours with its 3-cell 41 Wh lithium-ion battery. On the connectivity front, the Pavilion 14 comes with one HDMI port, one USB 2 port, two USB 3 ports, an SD card reader, and an audio jack. The inclusion of a USB 2 port is rather disappointing as it is supposed to be a mid-range laptop and many other manufacturers have started moving to all USB 3 ports on these kind of devices. Some even include a USB Type-C port. However, this is only a minor set back. The HP Pavilion 14-AI008Ur is still a solid device for its asking price. Hands-on article by Jagadisa Rajarathnam

HP Pavilion 14-bf009ns

The HP Pavilion 14-bf009ns is an affordable laptop with strong hardware performance. It is a bargain because no 14.0-onch laptop of this price combines an Intel Core i5 processor, an Nvidia GT 940MX graphics card, a 256-bit SSD and a FullHD screen. It is one of the new mid-range notebooks released by HP. The chassis of the laptop combines the metal of the palm rest with the plastic of the rest of surfaces. The internal fan and the low energy demand of the components will allow adequate temperatures even in demanding situations. The keyboard does not have a numerical section but it has a white backlight. The 1.53 kg of weight and the 19.9 mm of thickness are similar to another portable 14.0-inch laptops. The HP Pavilion 14-bf009ns uses the Intel Core i5-7200U processor , a low-power mid-range Kaby Lake laptop processor with a maximum consumption marked at 15 W. This processor consists of 2 cores and 4 logical threads (HyperThreading technology), has 3 MB of cache memory and offers a frequency that ranges between 2.5 GHz and 3.0 GHz in 2 cores or 3.1 GHz in one, thanks to Turbo Boost technology 2.0 from Intel. The performance is very similar to the Intel Core i7-6500U (Skylake), which will be suitable for users who want to work with a medium level of demand, allowing photo editing or video work at home. Despite being a laptop of reduced dimensions, HP has opted for an Nvidia GT 940MX graphics in its version with 2 GB of GDDR5 RAM. This graphics processor allows users to play games at medium details. The screen mounts an IPS panel with Full HD resolution and glossy finish. The display offers wide viewing angles and a fairly correct color reproduction. The HDMI output is what will allow us to connect this notebook to an external monitor, projector or TV. Thanks to the M.2 SSD of with a capacity of 256 GB, the laptop achieves a great fluidity while carrying out usual tasks such as opening/closing programs and turning the computer on/off. As for RAM, it comes with a module of 8 GB of DDR4 RAM at 2,133 MHz. The Windows 10 Home 64-bit operating system is pre-installed. The connectivity consists of a USB 3.0 Type-C port, two USB 3.0 of conventional size, one Gigabit network and a Wireless Adapter Wifi Dual-Band with Bluetooth 4.2. The integrated webcam allows users to make video conferences at 720p. The integrated battery of 3 cells and 41 Wh of capacity will allow a user to reach 7 hours with an undemanding use of the equipment. The Pavilion 14-bf009ns also looks sleek. Something that a business person would carry happily. In fact, it is the kind of laptop that would suite any kind of user. With its bargain price and good specs, the Pavilion 14-bf009ns definitely ups the game for its competitors. Hands-on article by Jagadisa Rajarathnam

HP Pavilion 14-bf001nd

The HP Pavilion 14-bf001nd has a number of unique features for a laptop. This 14-inch laptop features a Core i3 processor, a Full-HD-IPS screen and a 256 GB SSD, and the laptop supports facial recognition. Hence, users can quickly log in to Windows and other services which can use Windows Hello. The brand new Pavilion laptop has a modern, sleek design and offers the perfect balance between performance and style. As for design, the housing looks sleek and appears to be entirely of metal at first glance. If user look at the laptop up close, it is not entirely correct, because the back of the screen and the bottom are plastic. The area around the keyboard and the touchpad are made of metal and do not feel weak. The weight is not particularly low at 1,549 grams, but the Pavilion 14 is not intended as a lightweight laptop. The keyboard has a keyboard light with two positions: on or off. In steps dimming is unfortunately not included, but it is already special that a laptop of six hundred euros comes with lighted keys. That keyboard taps better than that the average ultrabook, which is probably because this laptop is thicker and there is therefore more room for keystroke. As for hardware specification, this laptop has a Core i3-7100U processor, 6 GB of RAM and 256 GB M.2 SSD. The i3 processor in the Pavilion 14 is not the fastest, but for a basic laptop, which will mainly be used for simpler work, it will suffice. The Samsung PM871a is a regular SATA-SSD with m.2 connection. It achieves an excellent performance. The Pavilion 14 has a Full-HD screen with IPS technology. Thanks to its narrow edge, the 14-inch screen (35.6 cm) fits into a 13.3-inch housing (33.8 cm). This means that the laptop also takes up little space on the road. The contrast of the display is fine, but the maximum brightness is low. Thanks to the excellent contrast, the screen is easy to use in low light conditions, but is not particularly suitable in situations with a lot of light. Thanks to two HP speakers, HP Audio Boost, and tuning by the experts at B & O PLAY, the laptop produces a rich, authentic sound. Finally, the laptop features a 42 Wh battery, which is not over-sized for a 14-inch laptop. The battery life is not bad compared to basic laptops. Ultrabooks have a limited number of ports because of their small size, but with a slightly thicker laptop, such as this Pavilion 14, the most important connections are included. On the left, there are two USB 3.0 ports and a full-size SD card reader. On the right, there are an HDMI port and a Gigabit ethernet port. Hands-on article by Jagadisa Rajarathnam

14.00:

14 inch display size represents a middle ground between the small subnotebook formats and the screens of the standard 15 inch laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, provides good resolutions with usable detail sizes, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact. 

In the past, 14-inch devices were very rare, but now they are the standard for laptops after the 15-inchers.

78.67%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
