This is a 14-inch budget class Windows laptop that comes with a low price. The components come encased in a high quality plastic chassis and are available in a variety of colors such as “Twilight Blue”, “Scarlet Red”, “Smoke Grey”, “Pale Gold”, “Snow White”, “Natural Silver” , and “Jet Black”. Since this is a budget laptop, you might not expect the HP 14z laptop to come with features like AMD Radeon R2 graphics, but you can really customize it with such specs and still get it for less than $500.

It’s not surprising that a 14-inch laptop is so portable—you can take the 3.24-pound machine with you wherever you go. To ensure it stays powered up all day, the 14z comes with a nice 3-cell, 41Wh prismatic lithium-ion battery. It can keep you connected and entertained for up to 10 hours a day. With HP Fast Charge technology, your battery will power up in no time.

The notebook also LOOKS stylish and portable no matter which color you choose, with its seamless bar hinge and brushed finish. There’s a full-size/island-style keyboard that’s easy to type on. The HD BrightView display (WLED-backlit) looks attractive. You can easily see the screen if you want to enjoy movies, view photos, read text, etc. Just because it only has a 1366 x 768 resolution doesn’t mean the display isn’t attractive. Many users are surprised at how bright it is based on HP 14z laptop reviews.

Keep working or enjoying media seamlessly, even when the battery is low. The 45W AC adapter will keep you going while charging the battery. Another good thing about this laptop is that it handles heat dissipation very efficiently, making it suitable for almost any task.
