Is the HP 14 good for schoolwork?

For essays, email and web research, yes. It struggles with many browser tabs, video editing or heavy apps because of the 4 GB of RAM and Celeron chip.

Can I leave Windows S Mode?

Yes. Windows 10 Home in S Mode can be switched to full Windows once, free, through the Microsoft Store, which then allows apps from outside the Store.

Can I upgrade the RAM or storage?

The 4 GB of RAM is soldered in a single slot on most configurations and is not user-upgradable. Storage is eMMC, so plan on a microSD card or external drive for more space.

Does it have a full-HD screen?

No. The display is 14 inches at 1366 x 768 with 220 nits, so it is lower resolution and dimmer than full-HD laptops.

What is included in the box?

The laptop and its power adapter. This bundle also lists a 64 GB microSD card.

Is it good for gaming?

No. The Celeron N4020 uses integrated graphics and cannot run modern games beyond simple titles.

Our take on the HP Laptop 14 inch

The HP 14 is a basic 14-inch laptop built around an Intel Celeron N4020, 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of eMMC storage. It runs Windows 10 Home in S Mode, which limits you to apps from the Microsoft Store until you switch out of it. The screen is a 1366 x 768 panel rated at 220 nits, dimmer and lower resolution than the full-HD screens common on mid-range laptops. It suits light tasks like browsing, email and schoolwork, and the low-power chip and small storage keep it firmly in budget-laptop territory against rivals with more RAM and SSD storage.
