The HP Pavilion x360 Convertible 14 should suffice for working or learning from home. In our real-world use, it never felt especially poky. However, the numbers don’t lie: You can do better. From a performance standpoint, this is really the moment for AMD-powered laptops, such as the $655 Acer Swift 3. Acer’s recent $650 Spin 3 also compares favorably. If performance isn't your priority, you might still have regrets about the battery life or the dim display.

When we reviewed the HP Pavilion x360 14 some 13 months ago, we griped that its $699.99 price bought you only 128GB of solid-state storage. Not only has HP fixed that with a 256GB drive, but this year's model has a SIM card slot for LTE mobile broadband, keeping you connected when there's no Wi-Fi hotspot around. Those improvements aside, the Pavilion remains a likable choice among 14-inch convertible laptops. It's a little heavy and a little poky in performance tests compared to the Editors' Choice Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 14, but the convenience of LTE will attract its fair share of buyers.

If you’re buying a laptop for LTE alone, this isn’t your only option. The Microsoft Surface Go 2 and Surface Pro X can provide it, among other pricier options, like Lenovo’s Flex 5G, but those are each more expensive than HP’s Pavilion x360. HP has the competition beat with a more affordable LTE-ready laptop, though that extra connectivity is really the only thing it has going for it.

The HP Pavilion x360 14 is a bit of a mixed bag, and that's no surprise. Any mid-range laptop is designed to offer a balance between perks and compromises. For the unit that HP sent me, that perk is 4G LTE, and it's absolutely wild that a $699 Intel-powered laptop has cellular connectivity.

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.

68.33%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
