The HP Pavilion 14": performance in disguise!
If you’re going to college or working on the road and need a laptop but are on a budget, consider the HP Pavilion 14-inch HD Notebook. Its portability, attractive display, and solid specs make it a contender with more expensive and premium devices. We put it to the test to see if it delivers the quality and performance that the average, budget-conscious consumer needs.
Design-wise, the HP Pavilion 14 is simple yet elegant. The silver exterior is attractive, with a large, reflective HP logo. This construction reflects the device as a whole: competent and utilitarian, but not ugly or unpleasant to use. It’s exactly what you’d expect from a laptop aimed at students and businesses. Only the Bang & Olufsen branding and perhaps the slightly unusual design of the power button set it apart from other laptops.
Size-wise, the Pavilion 14 is quite portable, though it’s not a super-slim device, and its dimensions aren’t trying to break any records. It’s just very thin, fairly light, and has a perfectly acceptable screen-to-bezel ratio. It’ll easily fit into any sleeve or bag designed for a 14-inch device, making it an ideal size for a laptop you’ll want to carry around on a regular basis.
