Specifications HP Pavilion 14 (2021)
Design and appearance
Notebook HP Pavilion 14 (2021) looks stylish - despite the low price, the body is made of aluminum in a pleasant silver color.
The laptop is great for use inoffice, and the slim design makes it easy to take with you wherever you go. The Pavilion 14 weighs only 1.46 kg, and the dimensions are small: 32.5 × 21.66 × 1.7 cm. It is convenient to take it in one hand and move to another room or kitchen, or use it on your lap during long trip.
There is no separate numeric keypad block, as on the larger Pavilion 15. There is also no Kensington lock, although access protection is provided by a fast and reliable fingerprint scanner.
Connectors and ports
In the HP Pavilion 14 (2021) we get four connectors - two USB-C 3.2 Gen1, one USB-C 3.2 Gen2 with Power Delivery support and data transfer rates up to 10 Gb / s, as well as DisplayPort 1.4.
To connect monitors there is the usual HDMI 2.0.In addition, you can increase the amount of internal memory via a microSD card, and a 3.5 mm combo jack allows you to connect wired headphones or a microphone. There is support for Bluetooth 5.0, as well as Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n), Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac).
Display and multimedia
The version of the Pavilion 14 (2021) I reviewed had a 14-inch anti-glare IPS touchscreen display with Full HD resolution.
The screen looks a little cheap because of the blackplastic frames, although they are not too wide. The top bezel houses a 720p webcam with two built-in microphones. The quality of shooting is not striking in clarity, but it is enough for video calls. For broadcasting on YouTube, it is better to buy a good external webcam.
The maximum screen brightness is 250 nits, although it couldeven worse, for many budget laptops, it barely breaks the 200 nit mark. It will be difficult to work outside on a bright sunny day, even despite the anti-reflective coating.
There is a speaker on each side of the HP Pavilion 14 (2021) chassis, both tuned by Bang&Olufsen. The sound is clear and detailed even at high volumes.
Display quality is average overall – thoughthe contrast is good, the colors are not rich enough, so it's better to choose another model for working with graphics. The screen is touch-sensitive, and such a solution is not entirely clear to me - it will not work as a tablet to use the Pavilion 14. This feature is rather inconvenient if you want to wipe the panel from dust. On the other hand, in many cases you can do without a mouse or trackpad.
Keyboard and touchpad
There is no numeric keypad on the HP Pavilion 14 (2021), but for most users this is unlikely to be a problem.
The keyboard here is an island type, it is comfortable whenprinting, the distance between the keys is large, although the body is compact. The buttons are plastic, which slightly destroys the uniform style with the aluminum case; you should not count on silent printing either. But the keys have a white backlight.
Right in the middle, under the keyboard is a large touchpad. It supports single taps and all major gestures. The touchpad is comfortable and pleasant to work on.
Iron productivity
With the speed of the components, the HP Pavilion 14 (2021) is also all right, the laptop is suitable for working not only from home, but also for performing any everyday tasks.
An Intel Core processor is installed inside the casei3-1115G4, integrated Iris Xe graphics module, two sticks of DDR4 3200 MHz 4 GB of RAM and a 256 GB SSD. Noise and strong heating during the work does not arise.
In the GeekBench 5 performance test, the laptopgaining 2431 points in multi-core mode, which is quite good. The device will easily cope with any simple task and basic image processing. However, if you're looking for better performance, the Huawei MateBook 14s is the one to go for.
Autonomy HP Pavilion 14 (2021)
The Pavilion 14 (2021) has no problems with battery life - the manufacturer claims up to 9 hours, although I got seven and a half hours of video viewing.
For a budget laptop this is very good.result, although some modern models have an even higher figure. In 45 minutes, 50% of the battery's energy is restored, and a full charge takes a little over an hour and a half.
Total
The HP Pavilion 14 (2021) is inexpensive and highlyperformance laptop for everyday work, home use and any basic tasks. Although the display is not too bright and the touchpad feels superfluous, there are no other significant drawbacks of the device.
The laptop is portable and compact, it can be easilytake with you anywhere. USB-C, HDMI and DisplayPort connectors allow you to quickly connect anything, and the fingerprint scanner ensures data security.
Should I buy
HP's Pavilion 14 is a great option for those looking for a device that looks stylish and performs well at an affordable price.
