If you’re looking for a mid-range Windows laptop, should you go for the HP Pavilion 14? In truth, there’s no one, standout reason to choose this laptop. But there are lots of little reasons that add up to a very convincing proposition. The most obvious reason is the stylish, ultralight design. That might sound superficial, but if you want something that will look impressive in a meeting, for instance, then this will do it. Another is the delightful HD display which, when teamed with the superior Bang & Olufsen audio, makes this is a great choice as an entertainment centre. Connectivity is broad, which means that you can team it with a wide variety of monitors, TV, headphones, universal chargers and more. Battery life is decent. And on the whole, the Pavilion 14 does an good job of letting you use Windows 10, without holding things up with bloatware or annoying quirks. In short, this is an attractive, efficient laptop that gets out of its own way, and lets you do what you want to do. And for the price, you can’t say fairer than that.

The HP Pavilion 14 is a solid, affordable laptop for home or office use that can handle most things you throw at it – whether that's video calls, web browsing and social media, music streaming, or light photo editing. Its only drawback is the display may be a bit too dim for some, and the touch-screen isn’t wholly necessary. Yet, the device is portable and compact, making it ideal for those hotdesking or partially working from home. HDMI and DisplayPort 1.4 support mean you can quickly connect the laptop up to one or more monitors, and a fingerprint reader offers added security. The Pavilion 14 is on the pricier side of budget laptops, but this all-rounded will be money well spent. And there are more powerful models if you need a Core i5 or a larger SSD.

With good looks, a great screen, and superior audio, this mid-range laptop offers excellent value. While it isn't powerful enough for heavy image or photo editing, as an everyday laptop for everyday people, we highly recommend it.

The HP Pavilion range has long been a popular option for consumers, offering a combination of performance and style at affordable prices. The latest to join this range has to be the rather good-looking HP Pavilion 14. In terms of its design, the aluminium chassis in frosted silver gives it elegance, despite the mid-range price. The device carries a polished look for office use, without the awful chunkiness found on some business laptops, such as the (otherwise excellent) Acer Aspire 3. This is a laptop which can double up for both personal and professional use. While there are many lighter laptops out there, the Pavilion 14 is quite light at 1.46kg, making it rather compact. The lightweight gives the device an excellent portability. As far as its keyboard is concerned, this laptop has been equipped with a space-efficient keyboard without the numeric pad. Despite the compact layout of the laptop, there is sufficient breathing room between the keys. However, the keys are quite low profile without much travel, making it require a bit more effort when typing. On the other hand, the trackpad is generously sized and comfortable to use with good palm rejection. The pad accepts both physical clicks, as well as gestures such as two-finger scrolling and right-clicking.
In terms of its display, the HP Pavilion 14 has been incorporated with a 14-inches IPS anti-glare Full-HD (1920 x 1080) touchscreen display. Overall, it looks unashamedly plastic, especially with the dull black bezels. However, the bezels are not too chunky. In addition, there is also a 720p webcam at the top of the display, with an integrated dual array microphone. While the image quality of the webcam is not particularly stunning, it is quite sufficient for day-to-day video calls. Apart from that, it is worth mentioning that the display reaches a maximum brightness of 238nits. As for its performance, the Pavilion 14 carries an Intel Core i3-1115G4 processor (the latest 11th-gen) along with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage. The laptop caters for a smooth day-to-day performance, making it a solid option for professionals working from home or in need of an affordable laptop for hotdesking. In terms of its connectivity, the device includes two USB 3.0 ports and a USB-C port that supports power delivery,10GBps transfer rates, and DisplayPort 1.4 connections. There is also an HDMI 2.0 connection for a standard display connection. In addition, there is a micro-SD card reader, a 3.5mm headphone and microphone combo, and Bluetooth 5 support.
As for its battery, the Pavilion 14 gets a decent battery with 7 hours and 21 minutes running time. While this might not be the worst battery time on a budget laptop, there are plenty of laptops which can go a lot longer, if this is an important area. Overall, it is a great laptop to be explored, depending on the need and preference of the user.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.
The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.

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.
