Reviews for the HP Pavilion SE 14-ep0000
Source: Expert Reviews

For £450, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the HP Pavilion SE 14. Performance is good, there are several unexpectedly high-end features like the 1080p webcam and powerful speakers, and it’s all wrapped up in a stylish, solid body. The battery life could be longer, and the display could be better, but that is more a case of getting what you expect for the money rather than getting more than you expect. As a general-purpose laptop for home, school or work use, the HP Pavilion SE 14 ticks all the boxes.

For £550, there really is nothing seriously wrong with the HP Pavilion SE 14. Performance is good, and it’s a stylish and well-made bit of kit. The display could be better, but that is more a case of getting what you expect for the money rather than getting more than you expect. The obvious competition for the HP Laptop 14 comes from Acer’s Aspire range of budget laptops, and we’ve recently reviewed the Aspire 3 and Aspire 5. The Acer sells for a similar price to the HP Pavilion SE 14 but only has a 256GB SSD and a low-rent TN display. Given the choice, I’d take the new HP in a heartbeat. For a general-purpose laptop for everyday home, school, or work use, the HP Pavilion SE 14 ticks all the boxes and should provide several years of reliable service thanks to the latest-gen Intel processor. It’s just a shame that HP has made accessing the internals so unnecessarily difficult.

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.
