Case - HP uses plastic

The housing of the HP Pavilion x360 14 is made of plastic. The display lid and the chassis have a non-reflective silver-coloured surface which feels smooth to the touch. The battery is soldered-in. There is no maintenance hatch. 

The build quality is solid. We did not notice any defects such as chinks where different pieces of plastic meet. However, the chassis is not very rigid. A small amount of pressure is sufficient to bend the housing in. However, the display lid is rather stiff.

The hinges can hold the display in a set position. The display lid can be opened with one hand. The opening angle amounts to 90°. When fully open, the display lid raises slightly the upper portion of the chassis.

The Pavilion x360 14 is the most compact device in our comparison chart. In terms of weight, there are no major differences between the HP laptop and the competition.

Connectivity - Pavilion x360 14 supports Power Delivery

HP’s 2-in-1 device features two USB-A ports (USB 3.2 Gen 1) and one USB-C port (USB 3.2 Gen 2). The Type-C port supports Power Delivery and can output a DisplayPort signal. There is also an HDMI port. 

The Pavilion x360 14 comes with HP’s proprietary charging port. The laptop can also be charged with the help of a USB-C power adapter (45 W minimum).

Card Reader

The microSD card reader achieved very good data transfer rates with our reference-grade SD card (Angelbird AV PRO microSD 128 GB V60). When copying JPG files, we saw a maximum transfer rate of 75.3 MB/s. When copying large files, the transfer rates peaked at 85.4 MB/s.

Web Camera

The Pavilion x360 14 comes with a bog-standard 0.9-MP web camera, which produces subpar photos and videos. The colour reproduction is especially poor with a DeltaE 2000 of 22 (the ideal value is less than 3).

Accessories

The box contains the usual accessories (warranty information, quick start guide).

Maintenance

The bottom plate of the Pavilion x360 is rather difficult to remove. To do this, all screws on the underside need to be undone. It is worth mentioning that there are screws under the rubber feet, which are quite brittle and therefore need to be removed with care (replacement feet are quite expensive). After all the screws are undone, the bottom cover can be removed with the help of a spudger or a guitar pick.

Warranty

The Pavilion x360 14 comes with a 12-month warranty. A two-year warranty extension will cost buyers an additional 50 Euros (~ $60).

Input Devices - HP’s laptop features a backlit keyboard

Keyboard

The chiclet-style keyboard offers a decent travel distance and a clear actuation point. However, the keys are a little mushy for our taste. The keyboard deck exhibits an inconsequential amount of flex when typing. The backlight, which can be adjusted via a function key, offers two luminance levels. All in all, the Pavilion x360 14 has a decent keyboard.

TouchPad

The HP laptop uses a multitouch-enabled ClickPad (11.5x7.3 cm) as a replacement for the mouse. The pad has a smooth surface, clear actuation point and short travel distance. It reliably recognises inputs, even in the corners.

Touchscreen

The 10-point touchscreen has no trouble recognising inputs. It can be operated with the fingers or the HP Tilt Pen MPP2.0 (3J122AA; €80/$95), which is sold separately. We did not encounter any issues with the touchscreen during our review.

Display - Dim IPS screen

While the brightness (246.1 cd/m²) is too low, the contrast ratio (2445:1) is quite high. When running on battery power, the maximum brightness is even lower As a rule, we consider a screen brightness of at least 300 cd/m² to be good. We did not detect PWM flickering.

Right out of the box, the screen offers acceptable colour accuracy. However, with a DeltaE 2000 colour deviation of about 6, the display misses the mark (DeltaE less than 3) considerably. The display is not marred by a bluish cast. A calibration could improve colour reproduction. The HP laptop can only cover 64% of sRGB, 44% of Adobe RGB and 43% of DCI-P3.

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
22 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 12 ms rise
↘ 10 ms fall
The screen shows good response rates in our tests, but may be too slow for competitive gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 42 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is similar to the average of all tested devices (21.6 ms).
       Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey

The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.2 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 36 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is similar to the average of all tested devices (33.9 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 18110 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

The Pavilion x360 14 comes with an IPS panel. Therefore, the screen content can be read from any angle. Outdoors, the device cannot be used because of a low display brightness and a reflective screen surface.

Processor

The Pavilion x360 14 comes with Intel’s Tiger Lake-based Core i5-1135G7, which features four cores with a base clock of 2.4 GHz. Thanks to Intel’s Turbo Boost technology, the clock rate can be increased up to 3.8 GHz for all cores and 4.2 GHz for a single core. The processor supports Intel’s Hyper-Threading Technology (one core can process two threads at the same time). 

The processor runs for a short time at 3.8 GHz in the multi-core section of the Cinebench R15 benchmark. Then the clock rate starts to fluctuate between 1.2 GHz and 2.7 GHz. The clock speeds range from 1.7 to 4.2 GHz in the single-core section of the benchmark. When running on battery power, the performance of the processor drops significantly.

When compared to other notebooks with the Core i5-1135G7, the Pavilion x360 14 leaves a rather mixed impression. It offers a high level of single-core performance, but it achieves only subpar results in the multi-core benchmarks.

Single-core (plugged in)
Single-core (plugged in)

We check whether or not Intel’s Turbo Boost technology can be used over an extended period of time by running the multi-core section of the Cinebench R15 benchmark for 30 straight minutes in a continuous loop. The clock rates fall considerably shortly after the benchmark is initiated. All in all, the Turbo Boost technology is not fully utilised.

Gaming Performance

HP's 2-in-1 device can achieve playable frame rates in many titles—on low settings and at low resolutions. However, the GPU clocks drop considerably after a few minutes of gameplay. These drops in peformance can render some games unplayable.

We use the video game known as The Witcher 3 to check whether the frame rates can be maintained consistently over an extended period of time. For this, we run the game on the highest graphics settings at Full HD resolution (1920x1080) for one hour. Over the entire run of gameplay, the player-controlled character stands still. After 6 minutes, the core clocks fell from about 1300 MHz to 1000 MHz. This led to a corresponding drop in performance.

Emissions - The HP laptop is quiet most of the time

System Noise

The HP laptop never gets loud. When idle, the system is often completely silent. Under load (stress test), the fan is barely spinning because both the CPU and the GPU are throttling down. However, under medium load, the fan becomes audible.

The Pavilion x360 14 during the stress test
The Pavilion x360 14 during the stress test

In our stress test (Prime95 and FurMark running continuously for at least one hour), the processor operated at 600 to 1000 MHz and the GPU ran at 600 MHz. The stress test is an extreme case scenario, which is very unlikely to occur in real life. We use it to test system stability.

The Pavilion x360 14 does not get considerably hot. During our stress test, the 40-°C (104 °F) mark was not exceeded. In day-to-day use, the temperatures always remain reasonable.

Speakers

The stereo speakers produce a decent sound. However, the low frequencies are almost completely missing. We recommend using a set of headphones or external speakers for a better listening experience.

Energy Management - HP’s 2-in-1 laptop offers good battery runtimes

Energy Consumption

When idle, the power consumption peaked at 8.2 W. During our stress test (Prime95 and FurMark running continuously for at least one hour), the energy consumption reached 26.7 W—an outstanding result. However, both the CPU and the GPU throttled considerably during our stress test. The rated output of the AC adapter amounts to 45 W.

Battery Life

The Pavilion x360 14 lasted 7h and 07m in our Wi-Fi test, which we conduct by running a script that simulates loads that are consistent with browsing the Internet. In our video test (playing back an H.264 video in a loop), the HP laptop lasted 8h and 55m. System settings: The power saving functions are disabled and the brightness is set to 150 cd/m². Moreover, the communications modules are switched off in the video test.

The battery has a capacity of 43.3 Wh.

The HP Pavilion x360 14 features the Core i5-1135G7, 16 GB of dual-channel RAM and a 512 GB NVMe SSD. This is why it can handle all everyday tasks. However, the 2-in-1 device is not suited for very demanding CPU workloads because its processor throttles under heavy loads. The HP Pavilion x360 14 really struggles in heavily-threaded applications.

The HP Pavilion x360 14 (2021) offers an unbalanced price-to-performance ratio.

Positive: The device is silent most of the time. The fan becomes audible only occasionally. Moreover, the Pavilion x360 14 never gets hot.

The battery life (7 to 9 hours) can be described as good. The Pavilion x360 14 can be charged with HP’s proprietary charger or with a USB-C power adapter (45 W minimum).

We have a few points of criticism. For instance, the HP laptop comes with a 12-month warranty and a slow Wi-Fi module. The touchscreen also fails to impress: The average brightness is too low and the colour reproduction is too poor. However, the contrast ratio is on a very good level. The touchscreen can be used with the fingers or the HP Tilt Pen MPP2.0 (3J122AA; €80/$95), which is sold separately.

The Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 14ALC05 is a good alternative to the HP Pavilion x360 14. The Ryzen 7 5700U in the IdeaPad Flex 5 offers significantly more performance in heavily threaded applications and manages to achieve higher frame rates in video games. What is more, the Lenovo laptop offers longer battery runtimes.

If you want a laptop with a bigger display, then we recommend checking out our review of the HP Pavilion x360 15 (2021). The Pavilion x360 15 is almost identical to our current review device.

Price and Availability

The HP Pavilion x360 2-in-1 14 with a Core i5-1135G7, 8 GB of RAM, and a 256 GB SSD is currently available on Amazon for about $820.
