Verdict

The HP Laptop 14-dq2020nr is a budget laptop that offers good performance for basic tasks such as word processing and web browsing. It has a light and compact design that makes it easy to carry around, and its battery lasts over sixteen hours of light productivity. The touchpad is fairly large and responsive, and the keyboard feels good to type on. Unfortunately, the TN panel on our unit looks washed out and doesn't get bright enough to overcome glare, and while the speakers sound good, they don't get very loud. Overall, the HP Laptop 14-dq2020nr is a good choice for those looking for a budget laptop for basic tasks.

Verdict

The LG Gram 17 is a great choice for those looking for a laptop with great portability, fantastic battery life, really nice screen, good range of connections, and decent performance. It is ultra light and provides two-hour battery life. However, some users may find the keyboard to be too small as it includes a numpad and takes a couple weeks to get used to. Additionally, the laptop is set to too aggressively throttle in software by default and requires tweaking.
