What reviewers say
Dell 14S
The 4.7 out of 5 rating from 69 ratings points to generally satisfied owners. Most feedback on the eBay listing concerns the seller and shipping rather than the laptop itself, so treat it as a signal about the buying experience, not the hardware.
- Items described accurately
- Fast shipping and careful packaging
- Items arrived in excellent condition
- Responsive seller communication
- One buyer received a phone locked to AT&T despite an unlocked listing
- One buyer received a worn iPad listed as excellent
- One shipment was delayed by the carrier
HP 15.6 inch HD Windows Laptop
With 4.1 out of 5 from about 1,550 ratings, owners generally see this as a capable budget laptop for everyday tasks and praise the screen size and battery life. Complaints center on slow performance once several programs are open and on the low-resolution display.
Questions and answers
- Which is better for schoolwork?
- The Dell 14S. 16 GB RAM and a 512 GB SSD handle documents, research tabs and video calls at once. The HP's 4 GB RAM will stutter once several tabs and apps are open.
- Is the Dell 14S worth $502 more?
- For daily use over several years, yes. The Ultra 7 processor, 16 GB RAM and 512 GB SSD keep it usable far longer than the HP's N250 and 4 GB. If you only browse and watch video, the HP covers that for much less.
- Which lasts longer?
- The Dell 14S, on hardware. Its processor, memory and storage are several tiers above the HP's, so it stays responsive as software gets heavier. The HP is fine for light tasks but has little headroom.
- Which is better for travel?
- The Dell 14S. It weighs 3.3 lb and has a 14-inch screen, so it fits smaller bags. The HP is bigger at 15.6 inches and slightly heavier, though its Fast Charge helps on short stops.
- Do I need a touchscreen?
- Only the Dell 14S has one, at 1920x1200. If you never tap the screen, that feature does not justify the price gap on its own; the RAM, storage and processor do.
- Which has better owner ratings?
- The Dell 14S scores 4.7 out of 5, but from only 69 ratings. The HP scores 4.1 out of 5 from 1,550 ratings, a larger and more reliable sample of a lower score.
