HP Laptop 14s, 11th Gen Intel Core i3-1115G4, 14-inch (35.6 cm), FHD, 8GB DDR4, 256GB SSD, Intel UHD Graphics, Thin & Light, Dual Speakers (Win 11, MSO 2019, Black, 1.46 kg), dy2500TU

Worth the investment. Got this with an exchange offer and got it for 30k. Great for business and home use. Not recommended for games or heavy duty data processing works.1. Light weight2. Quick bootup thanks to SSD.3. Mat finish, keyboard quality is great4. MS office 2019 comes free5. Audio quality is above average6. Video streaming and display is quite good7. RAM can be upgradable up to 16gb but may have to let go 4k *2 rams DIIMs8. Hard drive cannot be expandable, need to replace.

The laptop is really nice for its price, but the screen is pretty reflective just like mobile screens. THERE IS NO antireflective/ antiglare coating on the screen as mentioned here on amazon.Now if a reflective screen is not an issue with you go for it.As for me its very problematic as i usually work in well lit room, and i will have to get used to it and sit on places away from windows and bulbs on the back and sides.

Mine is a I3 11th Gen 256GB SSD Version. Boots up within 6 seconds. Has a great full HD screen so working on documents and reading texts is a breeze. But it is a shiny screen so not an antiglare. Comes with a lifetime version of office so you are covered there. You just need to activate it Camera is good for a laptop considering it is used for video conferencing only and not for clicking selfies or landscapes. Handles multiple tabs in browsers and HD videos smoothly. Wifi connectivity is good, catches signal 2 rooms away. Speakers are loud and clear and upward facing so you wouldn't need external ones for video calls. Battery life is great too. Gets 4 hours with streaming.2 USB ports are placed next to each other so connecting 2 thick USB drives simultaneously may not be possible. Also got a USB C port for those new age connectors.Laptop body has a textured surface so maintenance is easy. It is very light so handling is easy. But the keyboard and touchpad could have been better. Keypad feels bit flimsy and childish, touchpad has a wiggle room and not as tight it should be. Hinge is wider and stretches from end to end so should last longer than those old models with 2 split ones that used to break easily. Looks like HP was able to save costs only by compromising on the build as you don't find another laptop with this config in this price. I only hope that the keypad and the hinge last as long as the laptop as I don't see any other weak points in this laptop.If your usage is limited to your kids online classes, browsing and MS office, just close your eyes and buy this.

Super value for money. At around 40k, it has all the features for a neat laptop. Boot is super fast due to the SSD. The HD space could have been more, but 250 is ok. Screen is amazing and liked the resolution' pictures are crystal clear, Camera is ok; sound is good enufOnly improvement area could be the track pad buttons; since it is within the pad and not outside, looks lil flimsy ... hopefully it not wear outOn the whole, a good system for day to day use ...

If you can overlook the build quality the rest of the laptop is absolutely stunning. It is a complete value for money I tested rendering a 4K video of a 20 minute clip and it was able to render it just 7 minutes. Aa it few 50gb raw files and Photoshop was able to handle it just fine. Eleventh generation chip has 3.8 GB graphics that is sufficient for day 2 day work and edit. The trackpad is flimsy but strangely very accurate and gets the job done.

Writing this review after using the laptop for a week. The review is for "HP 14 (2021) Thin & Light 11th Gen Core i3 Laptop, 8 GB RAM, 256GB SSD" version.Pros:1) Display quality - Sharp images2) Fast boot as it has SSD3) Light Weight4) Loaded with Windows 10 Home and MS Office5) i3 11th Gen Proc and 8 GB RAM. (Could have been loaded with single DIMM 8 GB instead of 2 X 4 GB)Cons:1) Build quality - Cheep plastic,2) Keyboard and keypad (Does not feel comfortable typing, touchpad gets clicked when typing)3) Camera quality looks good on Teams app, but when you use it with the default Camera app, it is grainy.4) Batter is only 3 Cell and can get upto 4 Hours max with only Teams calls. Though the description says upto 12 hours.Overall, Performance wise a good laptop, could have been better if a higher capacity batter and better quality Plastic / metal used for the Keyboard / built.

I bought this Laptop couple of weeks ago primarily for my kid's online class, general browsing and basic MS office products usage. It is worth buying for these purpose. Audio is good, Camera is OK (could have been better) for online classes/meeting. Booting, Shut down and processing is fast/good.I am not sure on the performance for Gaming. MS Office Home and Student 2019 is pre-installed. Used Excel, Word and PPT for normal usage. It works fine. Battery life is decent. Key pad is OK.Draw back is its storage capacity. It comes with 256 GB, but usable is approx 237 GB out which around 50 GB (approx) is pre-loaded. So, around 180 GB will be available for our use.If there is a requirement for high volume storage, then this model is not recommended. You may have to buy additional 1TB / 2TB external hard disk for files storage.
