Light weight laptop
I got the laptop as a spare for my office work and when my wife used it, I never got it back. I have not used a RYZEN 3 chip, until I got this laptop. She loves the laptop it is much lighter than her old Black Friday special and a whole lot faster. The finish of the material is a nice looking silver color, the material looks almost like aluminum, but is a fairly solid plastic. The initial setup was straight forward and simple, you can do it all by voice or type in your answers. There were a lot of updates to be installed, and after some software installation, we were on the road. I did uninstall some bloatware and change a few settings. After a lot of work on the laptop, I did notice the fan ramping up to a high speed, but it was still pretty quite, normal running speed is very quite. The display is nice, the colors seem vibrant and non bled through any of the games or pictures. There are 2 USB 3.0 ports, a USB-C port, HDMI and a SD card slot. For general home use and light gaming, she has been very happy with the laptop.

Good Entry Level Computer
This 14” HP laptop is a mediocre machine and hard to recommend except as a basic machine for single tasks. This laptop is equipped with the AMD Ryzen 3 processor (which generally gets decent reviews elsewhere). It also comes with 4gb of RAM and a 1TB hard drive. It's hard to complain about the generous size of the hard drive as even today, 1 TB is a good size, even if you tend to download your music or videos rather than only stream. The 4gb of RAM is where it starts to get weak. I had problems with extremely slow performance once I opened more than a half a dozen browser windows. A quick check using Windows Task Manager showed that the memory was heavily taxed with very little room left. This machine seems like it would definitely benefit from an additional 4 gb RAM. My other negative comment has to do with the screen resolution as it only has a 1366 X 768 resolution. While that was a great screen resolution 10 years ago, it's definitely on the low side in these times. Your 1080p movies won't look as good, but you probably won't see the difference when watching a 720p resolution video. On the positive side, despite it lower resolution, the display is very sharp and bright. As for other features, this laptop has two USB-A slots, one USB-C port, an SD card slot and an RJ-45 network cable connection. The latter is not as common on laptops today, so if you would like to hook into your home or work network with a cable instead of WiFi, this feature will keep you from having to purchase an RJ-45 to USB adapter. All in all, this computer is good for single functions like email checking, web browsing (just don't open too many web pages in separate tabs or windows). It will also work well for streaming music or video, again with the same caveat. So, bottom line, if you need a basic computer for basic tasks, this one will work just fine. However, if you need to do any multitasking, or extensive web browsing in multiple open windows, just keep looking!

    Slick and lightweight
    The HP 14 RYZEN 3 4GB/1TB LAPTOP has been a wonderful addition to our home. My 10 year old daughter was able to jump right in and start using this laptop with ease. This laptop has large keys which are nice. It has a long battery life of around 9 hours. It also includes a fast charger which comes in really handy. While stuck at home in quarantine we needed a laptop for my daughter to do her school work on. Thanks to the light weight design and quick processor this has been extremely helpful. This laptop includes 1 terrabyte of hard drive. I would highly recommend this laptop to everyone. Has amazing graphics, streams very well, and has everything that you could need.

    Nice Slim Computer
    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.

    Fast, small, good battery
    We are very pleased with this laptop. It is relatively small but that also make it lightweight and easily portable. The speed is fantastic and it feels sturdy and well built. It also has an excellent battery life and has been working well for zoom video calls.

    Not a lot of extras, but it performs flawlessly
    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.

    Great for on-the-go
    I received the HP 14 RYZEN 3 4GB/1TB LAPTOP-SILVER. At first glace, it was smaller than I expected and I was kind of disappointed that it wasn't a touch screen. I think all computers at this time of age should include a touch screen. Yet when I began to set it up and use it, I was very pleased. The actual set up is very simple, which I appreciated. It is very lightweight with a nice slim and sleek modern appearance. I really enjoyed how convenient and portable it was for quick on the go trips. I was very pleased with the long lasting battery life and also the HD webcam. This laptop comes with 4GB, 1TB HDD, Windows 10, and AMD Ryzen 3 processor. Overall, I would have liked it better if the laptop was touchscreen but I would still recommend it.

    Good for traveling or a student.
    This HP RYZEN 3 laptop computer model #14-dk1022wm is built with an AMD RYZEN 3 3250U dual core 2.6GHZ processor with RADEON VEGA 3 graphics. For storage it has a 128GB SSD hard drive. For speed it has 4GB of DDR4 system memory. The mouse touch pad is multi-functional, easy to use and accurate. The battery can last up to 8 hours on a single charge. The built in camera and microphone are of adequate quality. The built in WIFI receiver gets a good signal. This laptop has 8 built in plugs for external devices they are: 2-standard USB, 1-micro USB, 1-HDMI, 1-headphone, 1-RJ-45, 1-card reader and 1-for a security cable. The keyboard has large keys that are easy to read but they are not back lit and this keyboard lacks a separate numbers pad. This laptop does not have a built in optical drive. The operating system is WINDOWS 10 S MODE which is WINDOWS high security system. WIN-10-S will only allow programs to be added to this computer that come from the MICRSOFT store. You can convert the operating system to WINDOWS 10 HOME but if you do you cannot convert back to WIN-10-S. This computer is relatively fast and streams movies or shows efficiently. The light weight and slim design make this computer ideal for a student or a traveler. The cost of it also makes it desirable if you have a few children that need a laptop for school.

    Great laptop for the price!
    This laptop has a beautiful, clear screen and a nice size keyboard. The battery life is excellent and lasts up to 10 hours. It has 2 rubber grips on the bottom to keep it from sliding. The set-up was voice activated and very easy for anyone to use. We usually have our adult children set up things like this, but we did this one ourselves with no problem. The computer starts up really fast and works great for games and surfing the net. This is the first laptop we have owned and are really enjoying it. When one of us is on our desktop, the other can use this without waiting for their turn. We have had an HP printer for years and trust the brand.

    Fully loaded and easy to set up
    Great laptop! Super easy to get up and running - the step by step menus were very intuitive and easy to navigate. Out of the box setup time was 20 minutes or so - no kidding - it was that fast and user-friendly! It just so happens I'm in the middle of online school for my son and this laptop is outstanding - it has all the basic apps he needs, was very easy to get hooked up to our Wi-Fi, and he loves the keyboard layout and options. One feature I was not expecting was the Cortana digital assistant - not sure that I need/want to talk to my laptop, but still a very nice extra and I guess everything is plugged into a digital assistant these days! Lots of storage space on here and the processor runs quickly enough for the applications we're using. The screen resolution is good and I had no problem connecting to my existing peripherals. While I did not have to rely on any of the HP support options, there seems to be plenty of help available if you need it. The initial set up menus offered links to help screens, there is an HP "jump start" wizard available after set up, and there are stickers with help links on the laptop casing, itself. I consider myself pretty comfortable with computers, but I would say anyone willing to work through the menus and help options could get this laptop up and running, no problem, and there's lots of assistance available even if you're not used to setting up new systems on your own. Overall, I'm very satisfied with this laptop and I think we'll get many years of use out of it.

    Light weight laptop
    I got the laptop as a spare for my office work and when my wife used it, I never got it back. I have not used a RYZEN 3 chip, until I got this laptop. She loves the laptop it is much lighter than her old Black Friday special and a whole lot faster. The finish of the material is a nice looking silver color, the material looks almost like aluminum, but is a fairly solid plastic. The initial setup was straight forward and simple, you can do it all by voice or type in your answers. There were a lot of updates to be installed, and after some software installation, we were on the road. I did uninstall some bloatware and change a few settings. After a lot of work on the laptop, I did notice the fan ramping up to a high speed, but it was still pretty quite, normal running speed is very quite. The display is nice, the colors seem vibrant and non bled through any of the games or pictures. There are 2 USB 3.0 ports, a USB-C port, HDMI and a SD card slot. For general home use and light gaming, she has been very happy with the laptop.

    Light weight with plenty of storage.
    I am reviewing the HP 14 Ryzen 3 with 4GB of Ram and 1TB of storage. After receiving, I immediately opened the box and removed the pc and power cord. I first charged the battery before getting started. After turning it on, the initial startup took awhile. It ask to connect to my home network. It connected fast. Then there was the registration and the Window Updates that needed to be downloaded. The updates took some time due to restarting several times, to install the updates. After that I started browsing online sites, I found the pages loaded quick. The main search engine is Microsoft Edge. If you have an account with gmail, just sign in and all of the sites will be there for you. The HD screen is vibrant. The HP 14 has an HD camera, and an internal microphone. There is a wireless antenna as well. On one side is a security cable slot, USB Type-C port, memory card reader. On the other side there are two USB ports, HDMI port, Audio- out for headphone, and Audio-in for microphone in combo jack. I found the HP 14 to be responsive and reliable. The battery lasted on a full charge around 7 hours. It has Bluetooth also. There is not an optical drive. Windows 10 comes preloaded. Ryzen 3 is the type of processor. The only thing I would love to see is a lighted keyboard. I recommend for reliability. It's stylish and only weighs around three pounds.

    Great Crafters Notebook
    I am happy to see HP offering AMD & Radeon products. This notebook is one best suited for your crafting or small v-log (video web log) projects. It has the power to handle many of the programs in your hobby or project room. From those tough shapes & patterns on your personal cutter, to the simple models on your 3D printer. This will be the notebook that you want to have connected. It has a shared 4 gig 1200Mhz video, which is a bit faster than some tower cards! So if you are rendering some sculptures, you can get the shading right. It also adjusts itself as you need it. Faster or slower as the need is warranted. You can easily hook it up to your TV set or other HDMI device. It's light weight & small, so it won't be in the way. The solid state (SSD) drive is only 128 gigs, unfortuneatly you can't open the back to put in a bigger one. Keep that in mind when you install things & save files. It's a fast drive, but don't expect to put a bunch on there. About 70-90 gigs are available for you, depending on your configuration. Plenty enough to do a whole bunch of crafting & cutting, some video editing & so on. Certainly enough for a mess of pictures, videos & some music if that's your preference. Keep in mind that this isn't a convertible (fold back) style notebook, it is clamshell only (opens up). The keyboard isn't backlit at all, so use this in a nicely lit room, also it isn't touch screen at all. That is, you can't access anything by touching the screen. I found the USB ports to be too close together for what I like. There is a slide in SD card reader on the left side. It isn't spring loaded, & the card does stick out some. I wouldn't use it as a back up drive or or set it up for additional use in Windows; just use it to transfer files. Or while you're using the computer. There is a USB C plug as well as a micro USB inlet if you use those, or need to expand in the future. These are very nice, current configurations if you need them. Bottom line, at 2.6 gigs this is a great little entry level computer for small to middle sized projects.

    DESKTOP ON THE GO BUT IN LAPTOP MODE
    The HP 14 RYZEN 3 4GB/1TB LAPTOP-SILVER is an item I had the chance to review for Walmart Spark Reviewer. I giving this product a 5 star rating because it was delivery earlier than the estimated delivery date. It works like a charm. This is the perfect laptop for anyone who DESPERATELY wants their own computer on the go… It has a bright and powerful display with easy to navigate buttons as well as having USB inputs and HDMI outputs. This laptop has SSD which means it boots up rather quickly instead or a 3 minute boot time.. . It comes with windows 10 which is the simplest to use for newer computer users and the Windows 10 Home brings back the Start Menu from Windows 7 and introduces new features, like the Edge Web browser that lets you markup Web pages on your screen. It works well for basic use such as watching videos on YouTube or Netflix or any other streaming site. With 1TB of storage, wow that is a lot of space…provides massive storage space for huge files, so that you can store important digital data and work your way through it with ease. It gives you enormous space to save all of your files. Enhance the overall performance of the laptop for business, student, daily usage that's like a programmable built desktop. Another thing it's not bulky like other laptops and has a wide screen which is perfect since most movies are shown in wide screen. It is capable of bluetooth and has a headphone jack as well, so no matter the type of headphones you use, they will still work with this laptop. Other features are: 1 x headphone/microphone combo; 2 x USB 3.1 Gen 1 (Data transfer only); 1 x USB 3.1 Type-C? Gen 1 (Data Transfer Only). . Overall it is a good computer/laptop with an AMD Ryzen 3 3200U processor to conquer anything you can try to throw at it.
