Thanks to its anti-reflective treatment, the screen is more readable in bright environments (e.g. outside) than a shiny slab and less tiring for the eyes over a long period. For the rest, it adopts standard specifications at this price level, namely a 16/9th format that lends itself well to video playback associated with a definition of 1366×768 lower than Full HD.
Performance, battery life of the HP 14s-dq2038nf
The HP 14s-dq2038nf is a responsive compact laptop designed for versatile everyday mobile use.
The good performance provided by this laptop in everyday use, such as office automation and Internet surfing, is due to its good amount of RAM of 8 GB and its low-power Intel Tiger Lake Core i3-1115G4 processor.
In addition, thanks to the Intel UHD G4 graphics solution housed in the Core i3, you can watch photos and videos but also run light games. However, like the AMD Ryzen 3 (and less powerful processors), the Core i3-1115G4 shows its limits under CPU-intensive software.
On the capacity side, this laptop offers 256 GB capable of accommodating light and / or few files / software, which corresponds to half of the standard of hard drives. Of course if you need more space, you can rely on an external storage unit. Favoring a USB 3.0 / USB-C device is then an interesting option to benefit from fast transfers.
However, an SSD offers several advantages over a hard drive because it is quiet, less energy-consuming, more robust and much faster. In practice thanks to the SSD, we get much faster starts/stops and launches of applications for example, or a faster arrival on the cards of online games. More generally, the SSD guarantees a much better responsiveness and fluidity in use than a simple hard disk.
As for the autonomy, count on about 6 hours on battery in light use for this versatile Ultrabook whose compactness, finesse and lightness facilitate transport.
