| Manufacturer |
HP (Hewlett-Packard) is among the top 3 laptop makers by the world’s market share, besides Dell and Lenovo. HP makes affordable laptops branded simply as HP or HP Essential, the popular OmniBook mainstream consumer laptop and 2-in-1 convertible line, EliteBook and ProBook business laptops, and Omen gaming notebooks. |
|---|---|
| Series |
The HP Essential notebook series, or simply named “HP Laptop”, is aimed at budget-conscious users who want an inexpensive yet decently equipped computer for everyday home and office use. |
| Laptop Type |
Laptop PCs with Windows operating system are the most common notebook computers, followed by MacBooks and Chromebooks. Windows PC laptops offer the widest range of hardware options and price points, giving users more flexibility. The traditional clamshell laptop design is considered to be the standard one, as opposed to 2-in-1 convertibles. |
| Performance |
Laptops with basic computing performance can handle everyday home and office tasks, but the user experience may be less smooth than on typical mid-range models. |
| Typical Use |
Even the cheapest laptops with basic specs, besides smoother running mid-rangers, are suitable for the common everyday tasks like web browsing, emails, or document editing. Having a powerful and power-hungry laptop just to complete these tasks isn’t necessary. Office and productivity laptop tasks typically involve word and spreadsheet processing, presentations, emailing, web research, and multitasking between business applications. Studying, Schoolwork and Online Education Laptops optimal for studying, schoolwork, and online education offer reliable entry-level and mid-range performance, a good battery life, and support for multitasking and communication in a digital learning environment. Web browsing and social media tasks don’t require high-end specs. They can be completed easily on entry-level and mid-range laptops with good network connectivity. |
| Screen Size |
The 14-inch diagonal offers a decent screen real estate that’s close to the common 15.6″ and 16″, while enabling a compact laptop design. |
| Screen Resolution |
This is an entry-level screen resolution, oftentimes found on budget laptops. It doesn’t deliver picture sharpness and space on the screen like the Full HD or higher-resolution laptop displays do. |
| Screen Features |
Laptops with TN display technology don’t provide wide viewing angles like on IPS screens, but they tend to be less expensive. |
| Processor |
The budget-friendly AMD Athlon Silver 7120U is a basic laptop processor with 2 cores. It is designed for simple tasks like web browsing and office work. |
| Graphics |
Typical for integrated graphics processors, the AMD Radeon 610M offers basic graphics and game rendering performance. Furthermore, the 610M is weaker than other IGPs like the Radeon 660M from the same family. This means the 610M is suitable only for the lightest games. |
| RAM Size |
4GB is a small RAM size for any type of laptop computing in 2026. For smooth operation of a laptop during everyday tasks, at least 8GB is recommended and preferably 16GB. |
| Data Storage |
128GB is a relatively small storage space. However, it is usable if you don’t store a lot of large files like movies and don’t install a lot of programs. |
| Keyboard & Touchpad | Keyboard without Dedicated Number Pad The keyboard has no separate numeric pad you can usually find on the right side of the keyboard on many laptop models. |
| Multimedia & Communication | Web Camera in 720p HD This is the most common web camera resolution in laptops. However, it’s low in comparison to camera resolutions of modern smartphones, so it can’t produce as sharp picture. 720p cameras are being gradually replaced by sharper 1080p in newer laptops. Stereo Speakers Modern mobile computers usually have built-in stereo speakers. Built-in Microphone The laptop has a built-in microphone, which is a common laptop feature just like web cameras. |
| Networking & Wireless | Wi-Fi 6 802.11AX Wireless The 802.11AX is currently the most used Wi-Fi wireless networking standard. It’s also known as Wi-Fi 6. When connected to 802.11AX-compatible routers, the 802.11AX modules in laptops bring improvements over the older standards in terms of data transfer speeds and multi-device connectivity. In some of the latest laptops, 802.11AX is being replaced by newer 802.11BE standard. Bluetooth Bluetooth enables you to wirelessly connect the computer to Bluetooth peripherals like Bluetooth mice and keyboards, as well as to smartphones, and other compatible devices. |
| Ports & Slots | 2 x USB Type A The laptop has a pair of the traditional USB Type A ports. 1 x USB-C The device has a single USB-C port. HDMI HDMI is a widely used digital video output port. You can find corresponding HDMI input ports on most computer monitors and TVs. Combo 3.5mm Audio Jack This laptop has a standard 3.5mm combo audio jack that supports both headphone output and microphone input simultaneously. |
| Battery Capacity | 41 WHr Battery 41 WHr battery capacity is on the lower end of the laptop battery list. It is typically used in budget-class laptops. Nevertheless, it can provide a decent battery life for the regular day-to-day tasks. |
| Weight | 3.1 lbs |
| Thickness | 0.7 inches |
| Operating System |
Windows 11 Home operating system is designed for everyday users who need a fast, intuitive, and connected computing environment. The Pro version is recommended only for select business users that need extra enterprise features. |
| Year of Release |
The 4 years old laptops don’t provide the latest advancements, like hardware-based AI acceleration. But, for the day-to-day tasks they can be still very good, even the basic models. |
| Laptop Condition |
The brand new laptops, as opposed to refurbished, come sealed straight from the manufacturer. They are untouched and in pristine condition. The brand new laptops typically feature the latest hardware and offer full warranties. |
| Warranty |
A one‑year warranty is the most common period for laptops. Longer warranties, such as three years, are considered extended warranties. |
Among the very basic Windows laptops with similar prices, this one stands out with larger and faster 128GB UFS storage, as opposed to more common 64GB eMMC.
