Review of the HP 14: Ryzen 7 3700U-based Laptop with an Engaged Handbrake

Slowed down. HP’s 14-inch notebook features very good hardware: Ryzen 7 3700U, 8 GB of RAM (running in dual-channel mode), SSD+HDD, and a matte IPS screen. Moreover, the laptop also offers passable battery runtimes and operates very quietly or even completely silently.

The HP 14 product range consists of low-end and mid-tier 14-inch notebooks. Our review model, which retails for 700 Euros (~$783), is one of the most expensive representatives from this series. The device is no stranger to us. We have already reviewed two identically built sibling models. While the other two models were powered by Intel’s CPUs, our current review device comes with an AMD APU. The competing devices include: The Asus VivoBook 14 F412FJ, the Lenovo IdeaPad S340-14IWL, the Huawei MateBook D 14 W00D, and the Acer Swift 3 SF314-55-31N8.

Because all three HP 14 models are identically built, we shall skip the sections that deal with the case, connectivity, input devices and the speakers. You can find all the relevant information in the reviews of the HP 14-bq001ng and the HP 14-ma0312ng.

Display - The HP 14 has an IPS screen

The 14-inch display of our review device has a native resolution of 1920x1080. While the contrast ratio of 1345:1 is quite good, the screen brightness of 256.9 cd/m² is just too low. Here we usually see a screen brightness of at least 300 cd/m² and a contrast ratio of at least 1000:1. That being said, the competitors of the HP 14 do not have very bright displays, either. Positive: The screen does not suffer from PWM flickering.

* ... smaller is better

Right out of the box, the display offers a fairly good color reproduction. With a DeltaE 2000 color deviation of 4.8, it misses the mark slightly (DeltaE less than 3). The display does not suffer from a bluish cast. We managed to somewhat improve the color reproduction through calibration. After calibration, the DeltaE 2000 color deviation sinks to 3.68 and the grayscale appears more balanced. The HP 14 cannot cover both the sRGB color space and the Adobe RGB color space. It can only cover 59% of sRGB and 38% of Adobe RGB.

By means of our color profile, the color reproduction can be improved. However before downloading it, you should make sure that your laptop has the same display model (manufacturer + model number) as our review device, because otherwise our color profile can result in worse color reproduction. Displays from different manufacturers can often be found within notebooks from the same model range.

Display Response Times

ℹ

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
27 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 15 ms rise
27 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 12 ms fall
The screen shows relatively slow response rates in our tests and may be too slow for gamers. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 60 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (22.3 ms).
↔ Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
38 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 18 ms rise
38 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 20 ms fall
The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.25 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 46 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is similar to the average of all tested devices (35.1 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

ℹ

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 19035 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

The HP 14 comes with an IPS screen. Therefore, the screen content can be read from any position. Under the open sky, the device can only be used when the sun does not shine too brightly. In broad daylight, the display is simply not bright enough to be legible.

Performance - The CPU is held back

The HP 14 from Hewlett Packard is a 14-inch office notebook. It offers enough performance for web-browsing and office work. Our review device can be had for 700 Euros (~$783). Other hardware configurations are also available. The prices start at 400 Euros (~$447). For this money, buyers can get a laptop with a Ryzen 3 3200U APU and a 256 GB SSD. Windows is not included with our review device.

Processor

The HP 14 comes with AMD’s Picasso-based Ryzen 7 3700U. The CPU portion of the APU features four cores that operate at 2.3 GHz. By means of the Turbo Boost, the clock rate can be increased up to 4 GHz. The processor supports Simultaneous Multithreading (one core can process two threads at the same time).

The CPU runs for a short time at 3 to 3.3 GHz in the multi-core section of the CineBench R15 benchmark. Then the clock rate sinks to 2 to 3 GHz. The processor operates at 1.5 to 3 GHz in the single-core section of the benchmark. When plugged in, the Ryzen 7 3700U initially runs at 2.4 GHz, then the CPU frequency starts to fluctuate between 2 and 3 GHz. In the single-core section of CineBench R15, the clock speed ranges between 1.4 and 2.4 GHz.

Single-core benchmark (on battery power)

We check whether or not the 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 results fall precipitously from the first to the sixth benchmark run. From the seventh benchmark run onwards, the precipitous drop in clock rates slows down. Eventually, the clock speeds settle down at 1.5 to 1.8 GHz.

CPU clock rates during the CineBench R15 loop

All in all, the CPU benchmarks disappoint. The Ryzen 7 3700U fails to reach its full potential, because it can only run at full speed for a short period of time. According to AMD, the TDP can range anywhere between 12 and 35 watts. It is not unreasonable to assume that HP has chosen a TDP close to the bottom of the available range.

We cannot determine the need for throttling. The HP 14 does not get hot and the fans run at a very low speed. In other words, there is a lot of room for improvement. However, HP appears to place an emphasis on quietness instead of performance, here.

System Performance

The system runs smoothly. We did not encounter any problems. The laptop offers more than enough computing power for such usage scenarios as office work and Internet browsing. The notebook achieves rather good results in the PCMark benchmarks. However, because the processor cannot utilize its Turbo Boost capabilities to the full extent, the results fall far behind the true potential of this CPU. This is why the HP 14 is sometimes beaten by the Acer Swift 3, which has a dual-core CPU.

The HP 14 comes with two RAM modules. This is why the RAM runs in dual-channel mode.

Storage Devices

A SATA-III SSD from Samsung serves as the system drive. It comes in the M.2-2280 form-factor and has a capacity of 128 GB. Only 97 GB thereof is available to the user. The rest of the storage space is occupied by the Windows installation files and the recovery partition. The transfer rates are in good order. In addition to the SSD, there is also a 2.5-inch HDD (1 TB, 5400 RPM) inside the notebook. Therefore, users should not run out of storage space for quite a while.

In addition, there is a 2.5-inch HDD on board.

Graphics Card

HP’s laptop has AMD’s integrated Radeon RX Vega 10 GPU. It supports DirectX 12 and can run at up to 1400 MHz. Therefore, the maximum frequency is 100 MHz higher than in the predecessor APU (Ryzen 7 2700U). The results in the 3DMark benchmarks are superb and are the highest that we have ever measured for this GPU. The fact that the graphics adapter has a higher maximum frequency is reflected in the benchmarks. Interestingly enough, while the CPU part of the APU is severely throttled down, the GPU part can operate at full speed.

Gaming Performance

The APU in the HP 14 can run many games in our database smoothly. This mostly applies to the titles that have been around for a few years or that have low system requirements—for instance Dota 2 Reborn, Diablo 3, Sims 4, Starcraft 2, Team Fortress 2, and League of Legends. These games are playable in HD resolution (1366x768) on medium settings, although sometimes higher settings are also possible.

There are even some AAA titles from 2018/2019 that are playable on the HP 14 such as Apex Legends, Darksiders III and Dirt Rally 2.0. However, the aforementioned games are only playable on low settings and at low resolutions.

Emissions - Not a lot of heat and noise

System Noise

When idle, the fan always operates at a very low speed. This is because of HP’s BIOS function known as "Fan always on”. If this function is disabled, then the fan usually stands completely still when the device is idle, which leads to silent operation—except when the 2.5-inch hard drive is being accessed. Under load, the fan does not spin very fast. During our stress test, we measured a sound pressure level of 32.5 dB(A).

Temperature

The HP 14 completes our stress test (Prime95 and FurMark running continuously for at least one hour) with similar results, both when plugged in and when running on battery power. The processor operates at full speed for a few seconds. Then the CPU frequency falls down to 1 to 1.7 GHz and after that, it falls down to 0.6 to 1.4 GHz. At the beginning of the stress test, the core clock of the GPU fluctuates between 650 and 700 MHz. Eventually, the GPU frequency stabilizes at a little below 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 under full load.

The HP 14 does not become hot. During the stress test, the 40 °C (104 °F) mark is never exceeded. In day-to-day use, the temperatures are always more than acceptable.
