Overview
HP's Essential 14-inch laptop runs Windows 11 on an Intel N150 processor with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of UFS storage, bundling a year of Microsoft 365 Personal and a dedicated Copilot key for everyday browsing, schoolwork and light office use.
N150 is a low-power quad-core chip, so this sits closer to a Chromebook-class machine that happens to run full Windows than to a mainstream productivity laptop. The one-year Microsoft 365 subscription and 128GB of UFS storage, faster and roomier than the eMMC found in cheaper laptops, help offset the modest 4GB of RAM for basic tasks.
- Intel N150 quad-core processor up to 3.6GHz
- 128GB UFS storage plus 1-year Microsoft 365 Personal
- Dedicated Copilot key with AI noise reduction
- Up to 11 hours of video playback battery life
Who it's for
Works for students and light users who need Windows 11 specifically, mainly for browsing, streaming, video calls and document editing with the bundled Office apps. Not suited to multitasking-heavy work, creative software or anything that leans on more than 4GB of RAM.
Pros and cons
- Includes 1-year Microsoft 365 Personal subscription
- 128GB UFS storage, faster than typical eMMC
- Dedicated Copilot key and AI noise reduction for calls
- Light at 3.24 lb with Wi-Fi 6 onboard
- 4GB RAM is thin for Windows 11
- 1366x768 display resolution
- N150 is a low-power chip, not for demanding software
Performance notes
The Intel N150 turbos to 3.6GHz across four cores and four threads, giving it a bit more headroom than older Celeron-class chips for switching between browser tabs and office apps, though 4GB of RAM remains the limiting factor under Windows 11's heavier footprint compared with Chrome OS. HP rates battery life up to 11 hours of video playback and 7.5 hours of mixed use, and the dedicated Copilot key gives quick access to Microsoft's AI assistant without a separate shortcut.
