HP Pavilion 14-ba140ns x360

Once upon a time, we had to choose between buying the more entertaining tablet or getting the productive laptop. Now, instead of trying hard to justify the decision to buy both, we can now opt to buy a hybrid between these two. And HP has a new product in the hybrid market: the HP Pavilion x360 - 14-ba140ns! To stand out from the rest of the two-in-one hybrid notebooks on the market, there is one important criterion that the machine must be and that is, lightweight. And the HP Pavilion x360 delivers! Since it weighs only a mere 1.63 kilograms, this machine is an advantage for mobility. The HP Pavilion x360 - 14-ba140ns comes equipped with a 4-core Intel Core i7-8550U with 8 MB cache and a base frequency of 2.4 GHz - up to 4 GHz with Intel Turbo Boost technology. The notebook also came with a pleasant surprise in the form of a dedicated graphics card - an NVIDIA GeForce 940MX with a dedicated 4GB DDR3. Even though it is an entry-level card, it is still a surprise since the hybrid notebook wasn't marketed as a gaming device. Other than that, it also has a generous helping of 8 GB DDR4 RAM and 256 GB of SSD storage. Now, let's check out the connectivity ports on the HP Pavilion x360 - 14-ba140ns. It has one USB 3.1 Type-C port, two USB 3.0 Type A ports, one HDMI port, one headphone and mic combo jack, and an SD card reader. It also comes with dual-band WiFi and Bluetooth 4.2 combo adapter. Unfortunately, it does not come with an Ethernet port, and it was probably because it also functions as a tablet and thus will be relying more on WiFi connections. Like a part of its name suggests, the HP Pavilion x360 - 14-ba140ns can be used at any angle. It has a pretty sturdy 360-degree geared hinges, which lets you use the device in any position you prefer. It is easy to switch from laptop mode (useful for typing) to tablet mode (good for browsing) to stand mode (perfect for video conferencing) and then finally to tent mode (excellent for playing games). The HP Pavilion x360 - 14-ba140ns also boasts a long battery life - up to 9 hours of video playback. It also comes with a set of dual speakers and an easy-to-access fingerprint reader. This thin device is designed for those who can appreciate the more delicate details. With its metal finish to its optional backlit keyboard to its micro edge bezel display and the Full HD IPS touchscreen, it is not hard to see and understand the hype it has created in the hybrid market.

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

Intel HD Graphics 620: Integrated GPU (GT2) found on some Kaby-Lake CPU models (15 W ULV series).

NVIDIA GeForce 940MX: Mid-range laptop graphics card based on the Maxwell architecture. Compared to the older 940M, the MX now also supports GDDR5 graphics memory and maybe slightly faster clock speeds.

Intel UHD Graphics 620: Integrated GPU (GT2, 24 EUs) found on some Kaby-Lake-Refresh CPU models (15 W ULV series). Technically identical to the previous Kaby-Lake GPU called HD Graphics 620.

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.

80%: 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.
