Review on 💻 HP 14s-dq3000ur 14" Laptop - Intel Celeron N4500, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, Windows 10 Home, Intel UHD Graphics, Black (3E7K1EA) by Adam Fido ᠌

- Horrible cooling system: the processor easily hits 96C under load, with incredibly small intake and exhaust ports (right on the screen). - The fan cries loudly and annoyingly when it is working. - A flimsy plastic case. I already own an HP laptop that is three years old and is similar to this one, but despite my extreme caution, the plastic is worn out. - The Realtek RTL8821CE WiFi adapter's most recent drivers were extremely hard to find because the ones included with Windows 10 do not support the 5GHz band and do not have any settings. The adapter refuses to activate MiMo for 5GHz even with updated drivers (February2022), but at least it operates at 2.4GHz, so it turns out that the speed is the same (150MBit/sec 8022022n both there and there). - I didn't anticipate the 1035G1 to outperform the 6200U, which is almost 4 years old, by such a little margin. Most tests for a single thread only indicate growth of up to 25%; Intel should be ashamed of such 10nm process/"progress". At least two times faster when using multithreading. - One stick of Samsung M471A1K43CB1-CTD 8GB DDR4 RAM running at 2666 MHz with horrible timings is included (20-19-19-43-1T). Thank God, it is possible to remove and install two sticks of any LPDDR4 memory; this is highly recommended because the processor operates considerably faster when using dual-channel memory access. - Price: In 2022, every laptop is sold for an abnormal markup (20–50% higher than in the US). Traditionally: a built-in webcam of shockingly low quality. - Conventionally, USB connectors are placed very close to one another. When a USB flash drive is inserted, the second connector becomes blocked. - There is no keyboard backlight. Although the processor and mother board support it, there is not a single USB 3.2 gen 2 connector. HP made a $2 save.
