HP 14" Laptop 2026 Edition, Intel Processor, 8GB RAM, 128GB Storage

Keep in mind that this is more of a rant, and I'm half asleep, but this is what I've gone through so far with the product. Originally came from an hp g62 2010 - 2018, was able to make the laptop last. Finally wanted to upgrade and saw this on sale, so I went for it and it was what I wanted in a laptop for what I do: Music, School, Youtube, Slaughtering Demons. The rant and rave of an individual: The screen is very nice, I can confirm it is an In-plane Switching Monitor or (IPS) as I do not have to center the screen or move my body to get a great view of it, unlike a lot of TN panels that I've used back in the day. The disassembly of the device is very very simple, remove the screws from the bottom of the case and the case pops off, might need a thin tool to pry the case off a bit (only con here) and you'll see the ram and the hard drive and the nvme along with the fans which make it easy for upgrades and cleaning. Also the battery is not soldered into the board and easily comes out for replacement after you remove some screws. All screws I noticed were Phillip's head. (I like to watch disassembly videos in case something happened, that way I can tear into it and hopefully fix the issue.) The ram is decent for 12 gigs, a 4 gig stick and an 8 gig stick, but I plan on upgrading the ram soon. Now after uninstalling a few things and setting windows to use less resources, I idle at about 18-19% which isn't bad at all, depends on what you do though. I do believe the manufacturer specifications have tested up to 16 gigs of 2666 on the board, however; there are cases with other omen laptops, where you can plop in 16 gigs in each dimm slot for a total of 32 gigs, wouldn't recommend it because it's not officially supported, but I will go ahead and try it (making sure i'm at the latest bios update from hp), and will provide an additional review/update. (I like to run a lot of things at once.) The processor is very nice, windows shows that i have 4 physical cpus and 8 logical processors, and I idle at 0% after turning the thing on (which mine booted into windows less than 3 seconds with the nvme 128 gig harddrive). I plan on upgrading the nvme from 128 gigs to 1 terabyte, might clone the drive or just grab a fresh install of windows 10 and slap it on a usb drive and fresh install, go from there. From what I read on the specification sheet for the dc0010nr, I think a cap of 512 Gigs nvme was officially tested and supported, but I'm going another 512 and see how the machine fairs. The 1 terabyte hard drive isn't slow at all, but I have nothing on it but a few games and some music, I constantly keep it defragged. The sound on the laptop is definitely an upgrade from my old hp g62 via software and hardware, but i use headphones into the 3.5mm jacks for mic and playback anyways. when it comes to gaming: Doom 2016 gives about 100 to 130fps on 1080p, ultra + open glide settings.... battlefield 1 on 1080p ultra gives about 45+ on mp and 60+ sp, drop it to high and it gives about 60+ but it depends on what map and what all is going on via gameplay. The heat on the laptop isn't bad, the machine will get warm and the fans will kick into high gear almost like a delay, but there is absolutely no throttling and when i'm finished with my gaming, the fans kick off to silent almost immediately. Also with the gpu, this is a verified gtx 1050 ti with 4096MB of vram in it. Final note: I think it's worth what I payed for: 799.99. If my desktop crashes and burns, it's a great replacement for it. It absolutely destroys solitaire and minesweeper along with other office products like excel spread-sheeting and you're in need for a couple of Pareto diagrams or 3 point beta distributions to resolve employee padding with P.M.O affairs making sure the stakeholders are happy. Alas I digress... I unboxed it, i pressed the power button and it immediately shot into windows and was ready to go. :)

Item as expected. Easy setup and no issues. Delivery was quick and per specific delivery instructions. Would definitely buy again when needed.

Pros: good hardware, SSD running the OS is very fast. Runs games better and smoother than my Xbox one. Light and durable case. Cons: writing this about a month in. This is a laptop for setting on a desk and plugged in at all times. Too hot to game in your lap and the power supply could boil an egg. The power receptacle into the laptop feels fragile and could wiggle and start to break if you aren't careful, and probably is not an easy fix if you can't charge your battery anymore. Windows 10 is full of bloatware and self advertising for Microsoft and takes some settings surfing to disable apps and widgets that you cannot uninstall. After 2 weeks I sat the laptop down to use the bathroom and when I came back there was a huge crack in the LCD screen. No big deal I thought I watched a video to replace it myself and ordered "omen replacement LCD 15.6" for 60 dollars. When I pulled the case and battery I started to realise why this is so cheap. I DO NOT recommend replacing or doing any work on them yourself, I bet when you send yours in for repair they just throw it in the garbage and send you a new one. The Screen was unnecessarily high bond taped to the case and crumpled as I peeled it off. Once I got rid of the tape and the now ball of screen I saw that what I bought isn't the same screen at all and doesn't even fit inside the case. After some hard googling I finally found the screen I need and it's $150 dollars. If you buy this I highly recommend getting the warranty and just send it in, probably a rule for laptops in general

its a nice little PC but it wasnt what i thought it was going to be. i returned it with no issues

I purchased this for daughter for going to college in July, out of the box and ready to use mid August and it quit charging within the first week. Still showing 2 months and 6 days left for factory warranty on the HP website when I entered the SN for it and upon their review, this is a laptop that was meant for sale in Africa and Asia and not eligible for factory warranties in the US. Loyal HP customer for over a decade but just replaced with a Dell and will take my business there.

Effective, sharp response. Easy to use. I’m satisfied. Nice screen colors and last on battery

It arrived on time, well-packaged, and easy to set up. After two days of use, it has worked perfectly—fast and without any operational issues. After a week, I have found that WhatsApp is so heavy to be loaded each time I start up the laptop.

Good value for a terrific laptop. Easy setup and connectivity.

Product looks ok to me. But, No hp warranty valid for this product when I searched online official site, shows like warranty removed from this product. How could I register the claim from hp?

Laptop was perfect with great build quality, very portable and light and also great value for money. It has a powerful processor so it can handle all kinds of work or productivity you throw at it, very good build quality with a solid biuld and also many other features which makes this better than the more expensive premium ones. Would definetly recommend buying this one if you are a student, do work on the go or if you just want a portable lightweight laptop that can do all your work

Funciona bastante bien, se calienta un poco, expandi la ram a 16 gb, desgraciademente tuve que remplazar la pantalla original, al ser importada es dificil conseguir las piezas, pero en amazon seguro que encuentras hay que tener cuidado con ella, es dificil y costo repararlas

Le doy solo 4 estrellas porque desde que la puse a trabajar me ha estado fallando un poco la pantalla, ya que de repente se apaga y queda en negro o si no me marca como error del sistema, dice mi esposo que es un controlador pero no ha checado bien, si no para meterla en garantía.
