HP 14s-fq0214ng (14 inch / HD) Laptop (AMD 3020e dual, 4GB DDR4

Good Morning. Can you please tell me what these laptops are like? I only need it for university. So doing research and writing. Maybe Netflix from time to time.

So don't need a gamer top. Good battery performance is important to me. It shouldn't have to be recharged after 2 hours.

The laptop is a good typewriter with the ability to watch Netflix and surf the Internet.

4GB RAM is already scarce in Win10, if necessary upgrade to 8GB in favor of multitasking.

Today on Prime Day the device is unbeatable in price at 195 euro.

Thank you very much. How do you upgrade to 8GB and can you please have a look at it? https://www.amazon.de/...07H96DZVB/

Look for a laptop with Ryzen 3 or Intel i3 and better. Make sure that the base clock (i.e. The minimum clock) is at least 2Ghz. Everything below that hangs up pretty quickly. Always look ahead (e.g. There are also i5's with 1Ghz)

8GB Ram, at least 240GB SSD - you need Ram if you open several tabs or applications. You need the SSD so that the PC is fast, but at the same time the memory is sufficient for your data and the Win10.

You usually have to read again about the battery life, depending on the model there are big differences

The standard size of laptops is 15.6 inches, so everything below is rather small

And even if such cheap offers from such brands arouse interest, I can only advise against it. The support is mostly bad and on average you often have problems with such devices. Dell, Lenovo, Asus, HP, Huawei etc. Are more recommended

The device is comparable.

You can find out how to upgrade RAM on YouTube or you can have someone who knows how to do it. It's too long to describe here.

Ka

Thank you for your answer. 300 euro would be the maximum

What about his Chromebook? I watched a video about it and he was absolutely thrilled with the performance. It's just as cheap again… https://www.amazon.de/...08558HW7B/

Chromebooks have the problem that you almost always have to be online.

Da

Otherwise I would of course have recommended a Chrombook to you.

Ka

OK. I thank. It's annoying when you are familiar with something like that and reading it quickly is not that easy😭

Da

Sometimes just as fast is not so good at 300 euro… For many, that's a LOT OF MONEY!

Ka

Like me. That's why I hoped that there would be something in the cheap prime deals🤷🏽♀️

Da

Defakto… Chrombook is not a recommendation.
