Our take on the HP Essential 14" HD Laptop Intel N150

The HP Essential 14 is a budget 14-inch laptop built around Intel's N150 quad-core processor, 4 GB of RAM and a 128 GB solid-state drive. It weighs 3.2 lb, has a no-glare 1366 x 768 screen, USB-C, HDMI and a headphone jack, and HP claims up to 11 hours of battery life. It suits light tasks like web browsing, email, documents and streaming, where its low weight and long battery matter more than speed. Against similarly priced rivals it stands out on portability and ports, but 4 GB of RAM and a 128 GB drive are tight, and the low-resolution screen is a step behind 1080p competitors. Reviewers are split: some find it fine for basic use, others hit slowdowns with several browser tabs open.

What reviewers say

What people mention
  • PerformanceMixedFine for one or two tasks at a time, but owners report lag with several browser tabs or apps open.
  • MemoryCriticised4 GB of RAM is the main bottleneck; reviewers say it is not enough for heavier multitasking.
  • StorageCriticisedThe 128 GB drive leaves little room after Windows and updates, so owners add external storage.
  • DisplayCriticisedThe 1366 x 768 panel is dim and not sharp; the no-glare finish is the bright spot.
  • BatteryPraisedOwners say it gets through a day of light use on a charge.
  • WeightPraisedAt 3.2 lb it is easy to carry around the house or to class.

Questions and answers

Is the HP Essential 14 good for everyday use?
Yes for browsing, email, documents and streaming one thing at a time. It struggles with many tabs or heavy apps because of the 4 GB of RAM.
Can I upgrade the RAM or storage?
Storage is easier to expand than RAM on this class of laptop; check the specific model's service manual before buying. Many owners simply add a microSD card or external drive for files.
How long does the battery last?
HP rates it at up to 11 hours. Expect less with video or many tabs, but a full day of light work is realistic.
Is the screen good for watching video?
It is serviceable but not sharp: 1366 x 768 on 14 inches shows visible pixels, and colors are basic. The no-glare finish helps outdoors and near windows.
Does it have USB-C and HDMI?
Yes. It has USB-C, HDMI and a 3.5 mm headphone jack, so it connects to most monitors and projectors without an adapter.
Who is this laptop not for?
Gamers, video editors and anyone who keeps many programs open. Those users need more RAM, a faster CPU and a 1080p screen.
