HP Pavilion x360 14-inch FHD Touchscreen Laptop, 13th Gen Intel Core i3-1315U, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, Intel UHD Graphics, Windows 11 Home, 14-ek1099nr (2024)
A good entry-level laptop with decent specs. The 3rd Gen i3 processor is more than enough to run all the basic programs with ease. When you start working on more computationally intensive programs like video editing, PC gaming, or rendering, there may be issues. Especially when running multiple programs at the same time. However, for most of us, the processor is more than capable of handling basic tasks. I wish the hard drive was a little larger than 256GB, but I’m also someone who stores a lot of media. Many people don’t store music, movies, or TV shows on their hard drive, preferring to stream everything instead.
The main difference between this computer and other entry-level laptops is the ability to convert it into a tablet. While this isn’t a unique feature, I have two other laptops with this feature and they don’t seem to be as robust as this one, which is a good sign if you’re considering using a laptop for this purpose. Additionally, the touchscreen responds very quickly. I didn’t experience any input lag when using the computer in convertible mode, and the screen registered my keystrokes without any issues.
Overall, this is a good entry-level laptop. If you can’t use the convertible feature and don’t care about the touchscreen, there are likely laptops in the same price range that don’t have these features but have better specs. However, if you want a touchscreen (and convertible tablet mode) as a selling point, this laptop is a very good option.
