HP Essential 14" laptop Celeron N4120 8GB 64GB eMMC White KKE

Everyday 14-inch Windows laptop

The HP Essential laptop ships new with a 14.0-inch HD BrightView panel at 1366 x 768 resolution and 220 nits brightness. An Intel Celeron N4120 quad-core processor runs at a 1.1 GHz base with a 2.6 GHz turbo ceiling and integrates Intel UHD Graphics 600. The system includes 8 GB of DDR4 memory and a 64 GB eMMC drive for the operating system and files.

Step up from a 4 GB or 2 GB machine

Moving from a device with 4 GB of RAM and slower storage to this 8 GB DDR4 and 64 GB eMMC configuration makes everyday multitasking and boot times noticeably smoother. The jump is worthwhile when you regularly keep several browser tabs, Office apps and streaming video open at once.

Suited for light office and school work

Students and home users who need a portable Windows 11 device for web browsing, document editing and video calls will find the 3.24 lb weight and 0.71 inch profile easy to carry. Buyers who want more storage for large media libraries or who need a dedicated graphics chip for creative workloads should look at something else.
