HP 14" FHD, AMD Ryzen 3-3250U, 4GB RAM, 1TB HDD, Silver, Windows 10, 14-dk1035wm

I have the HP 14 Ryzen 3 laptop computer in a silver color. This laptop comes with 4GB of RAM and a 128GB solid-state drive. This is a nice size device as it is a slim notebook PC weighing in at just under four pounds. This is an easy laptop to carry around between classes and work. You are probably not going to be doing much gaming on this laptop with only 4GB of ram. You can, however, with ease watch Netflix, do work with Word or Excel documents, and spend plenty of time scrolling through the web. I quickly noticed some issues with the laptop before even turning it on. First, the bezels on the monitor are massive compared to the size of the screen. Second, the key switches are membrane and feel very mushy while typing. Since I code a lot, but had no computer to use on trips, I find this laptop to be perfect for coding and browsing the web. If you are planning to watch videos or Netflix be prepared to grab you some earbuds as the speakers are not the best. The mic is also below par for standards today, but that's not too big a deal. The webcam is laggy, but it does get the job done. So, just understand what you are getting, a nice compact laptop that is small and light and that can perform most computing jobs just fine. It is not meant to be a high-end gaming laptop with plenty of storage so do not buy it with gaming in mind.

I have a 15.6 Dell Lattitude laptop that has a lot of bells and whistles, but it's large, heavy, and requires a lot of maintenance. I have a small home based business and really wanted a second laptop that I could use strictly for personal use. This HP is a perfect fit for my needs, and exactly what I hoped for. It's important to know that this laptop runs windows 10 in S mode. I had no idea what S mode was, so that was a frustration right off the bat. S mode is safe mode, and it certainly wasn't feasible for my needs. It took some time and research to turn off the S mode, but I got it figured out and Windows is running out of safe mode. After that I ran 48 updates, then configured the settings/ apps that I use in my personal life. Very simple. WiFi and Bluetooth connected flawlessly, set up my printers, then tested my projector using hdmi port. This was important because we have movie night outside for family and friends, and my Dell laptop did not have an hdmi port. The projector ran perfectly after doing a few easy settings, and the video picture was just beautiful on the screen. We have been running this projector on different devices trying to achieve the quality of sound and picture that we received immediately running off this laptop. This laptop has an HD webcam. I really didn't think too much about a webcam because the picture quality has always been good enough, or terrible on other devices. I use the webcam daily for zoom meetings, and Skype. I couldn't believe the difference in picture definition with a HD Webcam. It was a great discovery along with being able to move around my house with this portable laptop. After a full charge I was able to stream live tv for a solid 7.5 hours without charging. A decent battery life, hdmi capability, ability to stream without crashing, lightweight and portable were the big things I was wanting in a laptop. I wished it was touch screen, but I use a wireless mouse, and trying to break the habit of touching the screen. I'm still working on getting the laptop set up for me, but it has quickly became my go to device.
