In-Depth Review
The HP 14 stands out for one thing: 16GB of RAM, double what most budget laptops offer, which makes a real difference if you keep lots of browser tabs and apps open at once. It also bundles a year of Office 365 with 1TB of cloud storage and a docking station - genuinely useful extras for students. It holds the highest rating on our list at 4.6 stars (though from a smaller pool of 20 reviews).
The honest trade-offs: the screen is 720p rather than Full HD, and the Intel N150 is an efficiency chip, so the extra RAM helps multitasking but won't make it fast for demanding work. Best for organised multitaskers who want headroom and the Office bundle.
Why we picked this
"The pick for multitaskers on a budget, thanks to a rare 16GB of RAM plus a year of Office 365 and cloud storage. Best for students who keep many tabs and apps open."
