HP Pavilion 14 - 2021

Overview

With good looks, a great screen, and superior audio, this mid-range laptop offers excellent value. While it isn't powerful enough for heavy image or photo editing, as an everyday laptop for everyday people, we highly recommend it.

The new HP Pavilion 14 is a compelling package at a surprisingly low price.

By ExpertReviews on August 16, 2021

The HP Pavilion 14 is a great option for those who want a device that looks stylish but also performs well for its price. Including an 11th-gen Core i5 under its pink bonnet, you’re getting one of the more up-to-date chips that allows the Pavilion 14 to undertake day-to-day work with ease. Just note that its battery life isn’t as good as rivals – but if you want style, this laptop has it in spades.

What could possibly be the best laptop for students due to its fast processing speed and merciful price, the HP Pavilion 14 is a laptop that has a decent battery life and great compatibility with various devices. It also has a lot of disk storage for users to store high quality videos and images.

While the display could be a little brighter, and the touchscreen is unnecessary for some, the HP Pavilion 14 is a solid budget all-rounder laptop for home or office use.

Overall, the HP Pavilion is sleek (1.7 cm) and lightweight too (1.4 kg), which makes it super comfortable to lug around, just like a portfolio in hand. Despite the sleek form factor, HP has added ample ports including a Type C, two USB Type-A, HDMI, a microSD card reader along with the audio jack. There is also a fingerprint scanner for biometric login and verification.

At the end of the day, the Pavilion 14 is a balanced all-rounder that will get the job done both for students, people working in an office (or from home), and just somebody that wants a daily driver. If you find a good deal don’t hesitate to consider this machine in your shortlist of desirable notebooks.
