What else is great is that you have the opportunity of upgrading it via its two RAM SODIMM slots, M.2 NVMe slot, and 2.5″ SATA drive bay. How many 14-inchers can boast with that? Well, yes, you need to do some gymnastics with a plastic pry tool in order to gain access to all of the screws, but at least the glue on the feet is not too hard and you don’t risk damaging them.

At this price point, naturally, there is one thing that will suffer – build quality. While the HP 340S G7 is light and relatively thin, its plastic body produces a lot of noises when you handle it by the edge or try to twist it. We are not sure how it is going to impact the longevity of the components inside, but one would certainly want to be extra cautious with this one.

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

Intel Ice Lake:
i5-1035G1: A low-power, Ice Lake family processor (SoC) featuring 4 cores, 8 threads, 6 MB of L3 cache and the UHD G1 (32 EUs) iGPU. This Core i5 saw the light of day in H2 2019; it is designed for use in highly portable consumer laptops. The CPU cores run at 1.0 GHz to 3.6 GHz. The Sunny Cove microarchitecture that is in use here is notable for several improvements over Skylake including support for new technologies, new instruction sets and fast LPDDR4-3733 RAM. There is no PCIe 4 support here, however.

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.
