The HP Laptop 14-dq2020nr does what it sets out to do, providing sufficient power for going online or doing homework in a reasonably attractive and portable package. Its quad-core Core i3 CPU positively pummels the Celerons and Pentiums still lingering in the low-priced aisle, and it has a decent array of ports. Still, there's no denying that spending $200 or $250 more will get you a much more capable notebook, one that both makes you happier with a nicer screen and keyboard, and makes Windows happier with more memory and storage. We'd aim higher if we could.

The HP 14-dq5009nr is very affordable, looks beautiful, and delivers on day-to-day tasks like a champ. However, competing laptops like the Asus VivoBook 15 and Acer Aspire 5 offer better performance and boast newer CPUs. I’m often skeptical when recommending lower-cost laptops; too many have bland designs and awful keyboards, but the HP 14 laptop is solid and well-built for the price. That said, HP still had to keep costs down to reach this affordable price point. Its display is dimmer and lacks color accuracy, and battery life would be better given its size. A 1080p display would be better since competitors are offering the same for almost the same price. Other laptops give the HP Laptop a run for its money. The Acer Aspire 5, for example, is still one of the best cheap laptops you can get for $500, with better performance per dollar, good battery life, and good port selection.

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.

76%: 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.
