HP 14" HD Laptop AMD Ryzen 7 7730U 32GB 1TB SSD vs HP 15.6" Touchscreen Laptop Ryzen 7 7730U

The HP 15.6" FHD Touchscreen is the better buy for most people. Its 1920x1080 touch display is far sharper than the 14" model's 1366x768 panel, and it adds a fingerprint reader, a numeric keypad and Windows 11 Pro. The 14" HP wins on portability and on storage, since it ships with a 1TB SSD against the 15.6" model's 512GB base drive. Both use the same Ryzen 7 7730U, so performance is close; the 15.6" model is the more complete machine, the 14" model the lighter, roomier one.

• Choose the HP 14" if you want a smaller, lighter laptop with a 1TB SSD and don't mind a low-resolution screen.
• Choose the HP 15.6" if you want a sharp 1080p touchscreen, a fingerprint reader and a numeric keypad in a 3.5 lb chassis.
