Overview
This is HP's budget 14 inch laptop for 2026, built around an Intel N150 processor, 4GB of RAM and 128GB of UFS storage. It ships with Windows 11 Home and a one year Microsoft 365 subscription. Suits light browsing, email and document work rather than heavy multitasking.
The N150 processor and 4GB of RAM cap this out as a low-cost machine for single-app use; opening several browser tabs alongside a word processor will slow it down. The bundled Microsoft 365 Personal subscription and 1TB OneDrive storage offset some of the low sticker price. At 3.3 lbs it travels easily for students moving between classes.
- Intel N150 processor with 4GB DDR4 RAM
- 128GB UFS storage with fast boot times
- 14 inch anti-glare HD display
- One year Microsoft 365 Personal subscription included
Who it's for
Best suited to students and home users who mainly need web browsing, email, streaming video and basic Office document work. Not a fit for anyone running design software, several heavy applications at once, or gaming.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Lightweight at 3.3 lbs for daily carrying
- 128GB UFS storage boots and loads apps quickly
- Includes a year of Microsoft 365 and 1TB OneDrive
- Wi-Fi 6 and USB-C for modern accessories
- Only 4GB of RAM limits multitasking
- 1366 x 768 display resolution is basic for 2026
- No dedicated graphics for editing or gaming
Performance notes
The Intel N150 and 4GB DDR4 handle single-task work such as document editing and video calls without stutter, but the RAM ceiling means switching between several open apps causes slowdowns. The 128GB UFS storage boots and loads programs quickly despite its size. The 1366 x 768 anti-glare screen is fine for text work but shows its resolution limits on photos or video.
