HP 14s with Ryzen in review: Cheap laptop gives away potential

14-inch mainstreamer without highlights. The slim 14s is a bread & butter model from the manufacturer. It can be equipped with hardware from cheap to expensive. We take a look at a 2021 model with the popular Ryzen 5000 chip. Do we find the strengths of the current AMD generation confirmed here as well? Partly yes, partly no.

HP 14s - Pale bread & butter subnotebook

As a mainstream platform, the HP 14s is equipped with hardware in all conceivable variants by the manufacturer: Whether Intel or AMD chips, large and small hard drives, minimal or generous working memory configurations. Thus, there is something for everyone, from 280 Euros (~$333, without Windows) to almost 850 Euros (~$1010, Intel High End).

Our test model is in the lower midfield at 530 Euros (~$630, without Windows), but can theoretically keep up with the Intel variants at the top with its Ryzen 5000 SoC. You can find out why we do not recommend the model in the review.

The plastic chassis looks pleasing due to the thin aluminum plate on the base, but this does not help the stability: The light chassis is only fairly torsion-resistant, and movements on the hinge warp the adjacent area of the construction. The keyboard yields considerably and the base can be bent to a limited extent from below. Pressure on the display leads to changes in brightness (recognizable in the black image).

The model can be upgraded, there are two RAM sockets, an M.2 2280 slot for the SSD and an M.2 2230 for the WiFi chip. We would throw the latter out first due to the poor result in the test. The slow SD card reader as well, but fortunately you do not need it that often. The missing eject mechanism is annoying: The SD card is simply stuck in the slot and we have to struggle with our fingertips on the card that only sticks out 4 mm.

At least the weight of 1.4 kg (~3.1 lb) is respectable, the Lenovo competition is heavier and thicker. The ports are on the right and close together, which could cause problems with USB dongles, for example for Ethernet. The Type-C USB cannot be used for charging and it is not suitable as a DisplayPort output - at least it refused to work with our Type-C to HDMI cable.

The bottom tray has to be pried open with the plastic spatula, which is not quite easy. In addition, there are screws on the underside, which are hidden under the baseboards.

Input devices: HP laptop proves to be weak

The input suffers from its yielding substructure. The keys yield when typing, resulting in a spongy typing feel that is not much fun. The smooth keys have a clear stroke and are quiet. There is no illumination, and the lettering could have been stronger to our taste. The rarely needed F-keys are designed as Fn secondary keys.

The wide clickpad is sensitive up to the edges, is only slightly lower than the palm rest and has a clear pressure point. However, the stroke is small. The penetratingly loud click noise proved to be annoying.

The AUO display comes with 1920 x 1080 pixels and is weakly anti-reflective, which means a certain silky gloss is present and that is also annoying in sunlight. The brightness of 223 cd/m² on average cannot do much about that.

The contrast is 978:1, a value that is almost twice as high for the Intel sister, although it is the same AUO panel type according to the nomenclature. The reason is a slightly lower black value (0.22 instead of 0.16) and a higher brightness in the Intel sister. AMD Vari Bright was not active, the device does not work with the corresponding Radeon software as usual for AMD laptops.

Display Response Times

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.
       Response Time Black to White
27 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 15 ms rise
↘ 12 ms fall
The screen shows relatively slow response rates in our tests and may be too slow for gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 60 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (22.3 ms).
       Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
41 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 19 ms rise
↘ 22 ms fall
The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.25 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 57 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (35.2 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.
Screen flickering / PWM not detected

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 18878 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

The colors do not give the 14s a boost either; sRGB is only covered by 57%. If you are looking for a really good display in this price range, you are better off with the Honor Magicbook 14 i7-1165G7 which covers 96% of sRGB and is much brighter. At least the grayscale is reproduced quite well (no visible blue cast) and there is no PWM when reducing the brightness.

Performance: AMD's laptop processor is not maxed out

Ryzen 5 5500U, 5700U and 3500U are the possible AMD configurations on the market, Athlon variants might also be offered (not in Germany). The Intel sisters start with Celeron N4500, go over Core i3-1115G4 and end with i7-1165G7. The AMD models are mostly offered with 16 GB of RAM, the Intel with 8 GB.

Processor

The Ryzen 5 5500U has a Turbo up to 4 GHz and a base clock of 2.1 GHz. Six Zen cores work in the chip, and a Radeon RX Vega graphics unit with a maximum of 1800 MHz is added. Both the graphics and processor parts of the APU change their clock according to the thermal conditions: If it gets too hot on the SoC, it throttles the clock until the waste heat settles below a certain limit. This is just over 60 degrees in the HP 14s.

The Ryzen 5 5500U cannot run its 4000 MHz Turbo permanently, but only for a few seconds. In R15, the clock is already back to 2500 MHz after 4 seconds and then settles at just under 3000 MHz. Therefore, the scores drop leisurely in the first seven runs, but then give way a bit and remain at a level of 950 points. A Lenovo ThinkPad E14 G3 with an identical SoC shows that 1160 points are possible in permanent use. Our Ryzen 5 5500U is weaker at startup (-11%) and during load (-19%). The base clock of 2100 MHz is not undercut.

System performance

PCMark is below average in all disciplines, but -5 to -15% should not be overestimated. The system works smoothly at all times, 20 browser tabs and several programs do not immediately bring the HP 14s to its knees.

DPC latencies

In the test with LatencyMon, the HP 14s shows increased interruption times, with ACPI and network drivers causing the highest latencies. Thus, our test configuration is not suitable for real-time applications or similar, but this might change with future updates.

The PCIe SSD Micron 2210 (M.2 2280) with a capacity of 512 GB installed here achieves below-average write and read rates in the storage benchmarks. The rivals with WDC, Samsung and SK Hynix are faster here. However, the sister HP 14s-dq1431ng (Intel) with Intel Optane memory is easily beaten.

Graphics card

With the integrated Radeon RX Vega 7 SoC graphics, the HP 14s has its limits; the 14-incher is not designed for gaming. Our games table immediately shows that: The games there are 3-5 years old and can be played in medium settings at best. If you are seriously thinking about current games, you should look for an alternative

Gaming performance

If you push the graphics with Ultra settings, you will experience thermal limitations, as our test with Witcher 3 Ultra shows: FPS hold at 25 for a few minutes, then drop to 10-11 along with the CPU and GPU clock. Here the GPU clock drops from 1800 to 1200 MHz, the CPU clock from 3500 to 1500 MHz. This all happens to keep the temperature in the SoC below 60 degrees Celsius (140 degrees Fahrenheit). This is good for low waste heat, but gives away performance of the Radeon Vega RX, which is then below average.

Moderately hardware-intensive games and the 3DMarks were not affected by this in the test. The HP 14s is not bad compared to the competition, and it even takes the lead over other Vega RX 7s in some cases. The Intel competition with an iGPU Iris Xe is mostly beaten, even with a strong Core i7 (Honor Magicbook 14 i7).
