74% HP 14 Laptop (14-fq1021nr) Review
Source: Digit week
The HP 14 laptop is a solid, affordable laptop for home or office that can definitely most day-to-day tasks – whether it’s video calls, web browsing, college papers, music streaming, or light photo editing. Its only drawback is the display that may be a bit too dim for some, but when used away from the sun it’s as bright as they come. In fact, it’s not a drawback as such, just a thing to note before you buy. Otherwise, the HP 14 laptop is portable and compact, making it a perfect candidate for those hotdesking or partially working from home. Competitors here include its stablemate, the HP 15 Laptop (15-dy2021nr) and the Acer Aspire 5 A515-56-50RS, both pack 11th generation Intel Core i5-1135G7 processors, 8GB RAM and 256GB SSD storage. So, it’s basically a matter of preference, but both are real productivity workhorses.

76% HP 14 FQ-1021NR Review: Oodles Of Performance On Budget
Source: Gadgetbyte Nepal
Concluding this review, the HP 14 isn’t that great but is still a decent budget laptop for the price. From its powerful hardware to portability, there’s a lot to love about this machine. Yet, a couple of factors like mediocre build quality and trackpad on the HP 14 are rather underwhelming—and something that the company could’ve worked on more.

Comment

HP: Founded in 1939, the US company is a major server and printer manufacturer and one of the leading IT companies in the world. Until 2015, the company was called Hewlett-Packard Company. After a split, the computer division was renamed HP Inc.

In 2023, HP had an approximate market share of 22% of global PC sales, making it number 2 after Lenovo.

Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

AMD Vega 7: Integrated graphics adapter of the Ryzen APUs based on the Vega architecture with 7 CUs (= 448 shaders) and a clock speed of up to 1,600 MHz.

AMD Lucienne (Zen 2, Ryzen 5000):

R5 5500U: A hexa-core APU designed for use in ultra-thin, upper mid-range laptops. The Ryzen features six Zen 2 CPU cores running at 2.1 GHz to 4.0 GHz alongside the Vega 7 graphics adapter (448 unified shaders running at up to 1,800 MHz). One could be forgiven for thinking Ryzen 5 5500U is a renamed Ryzen 5 4500U - which is not the case. Ryzen 5 5500U is most similar to Ryzen 5 4600U, the most noteworthy difference between the two being the faster iGPU model of the former.

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.

75%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
