A versatile thin and light notebook, the HP 14s-dq5007nf with 14-inch Full HD anti-glare display is equipped with a good amount of 16GB RAM and an Alder Lake Core i7-1255U Intel 10-core processor with Iris Xe graphics for good overall performance as well as under modest processing with the ability to run modest games. Equipped with a fast SSD storage that enhances its responsiveness, this Ultrabook with an elegant silver design that runs on Windows 11 has a USB-C connector. But it skips over Wi-Fi ax and a keyboard backlight solution.

Chassis, connectors, screen of the HP 14s-dq5007nf
It sports an elegant and discreet appearance with its Natural Silver design brushed vertical pattern keyboard frame and can be recharged to 50% in 45 minutes.
This versatile laptop has a good correct connectivity of 1 USB-C, Wi-Fi ac and Bluetooth 4.2 wireless modules for remote connections and communications, a convenient HDMI video output to easily connect it to a TV or monitor for example, an audio port or 2 USB 3.0 (USB 2.0 compatible) guaranteeing transfers made up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 if you plug in USB 3.0 devices.
However, it is unfortunate not to find either wi-Fi ax modules and Bluetooth 5 more recent and powerful, nor a backlight system of the keyboard to better distinguish its keys.
The screen is anti-reflective which improves its readability in bright environments (eg outside) compared to a shiny slab. In addition, it lends itself well to the display of High Definition content such as videos due to its Full HD definition and its 16/9th format.
Performance, battery life of the HP 14s-dq5007nf
The HP 14s-dq5007nf is a responsive compact laptop designed for everyday versatile use.
Equipped with an Intel Alder Lake processor with 10 hybrid cores, the Core i7-1255U here associated with 16 GB of RAM, this versatile Ultrabook delivers good overall performance to satisfy many users.
And especially those who occasionally perform modest multimedia work using multi-core and RAM, such as photo editing or video conversion.
On the other hand, if the objective is to often perform processing demanding in processor and / or graphics resources, we benefit from turning instead to a PC based on a non-low-power processor.
Here, no dedicated graphics card embedded. All the graphics are therefore managed by the Iris Xe solution integrated into the Core i7 Alder Lake-U, enough to watch photos and videos but also play modest titles despite everything.
On the storage side, there is a 512 GB SSD, capacity in line with the standard of hard drives. But compared to the latter, let’s highlight the advantages provided by an SSD: greater robustness, quiet operation, lower power consumption and greater velocity.
In practice, the SSD ensures a much better fluidity and responsiveness on a daily basis than a simple hard disk. Thanks to the SSD, starts/stops are much faster, for example, like processing and launching applications, and we reach the maps of online games faster.
Of course in the event that 512 GB is too fair, we can rely on an external storage unit such as a USB-C / USB 3.0 device to benefit from fast transfers.
As for the autonomy of this Ultrabook with an elegant silver design whose transport is facilitated by lightness, compactness and finesse, count on about 6 hours on battery in light use while waiting for more complete tests.
