What Buyers Say
HP 14 14" 14-dq6012dx Blue 2025
72 out of 100 medium confidence 11 reviews
The HP laptop receives mostly positive reviews for its speed, value, and suitability for work and study. However, several verified buyers report significant issues: a defective display, poor customer service from HP, and the restrictive Windows 11 S-Mode that blocks non-Microsoft apps. The keyboard lacks backlighting and has a cheap feel, and one unit arrived with only 4GB RAM instead of the advertised 8GB.
Pros
- Fast performance
- Good value for money
- Lightweight and portable
- Clear screen
- Comfortable keyboard
Cons
- Windows 11 S-Mode restrictions
- Defective display on some units
- Poor HP customer service
- Keyboard lacks backlight
- Cheap plastic keyboard feel
