The 14-inch laptops , little by little, have become a suitable purchase option for many users. At first they were considered a hybrid that was not well located in any of the market segments, but now and because their physical dimensions have been reduced, they are currently an excellent option to use them in mobility. We show what one of these equipment must offer to be of quality and without having a prohibitive price
Now the models that have a 14-inch screen, offer a really high portability since they are not very far from the equipment that integrates a thirteen screen … and this with some more viewing space that in many cases is vital to use (for example, in the professional field with Excel tablets and on staff, with a better user experience when viewing streaming platform content). Therefore, they have become an increasingly demanded choice and, therefore, it is now possible to find very varied models.
That is, it is possible to buy from computers that serve as a simple tool when running Office applications , to models that even allow editing with more than acceptable quality. The case is that if you are looking for a laptop that allows you to work outside the home , the equipment we are talking about is a good solution and that is why it is not a bad idea to know what exactly should be required in case you have a 600 euros budget.
Minimum features of these laptops
In what has to do with the screen, for the price that we have indicated, you have to try that the equipment offers HD resolution (without this being a disaster), so you have to always look for models that reach 1080p . With them it is possible to enjoy all kinds of content with a fairly good quality and, therefore, meet both in the recreational and professional section. In what has to do with the panel, apart from reviewing that it is IPS , little else needs to be demanded.
Another thing that is completely possible right now is that the laptops we are talking about include 8 GB of RAM . If this is so, the operation is really good for both the operating system and the software that is running, even in multitasking conditions. In addition, the storage must be SSD , to ensure a constant and fluid data transfer, the available space being at least 128 gigabytes . Less is currently an error, since there will be problems even to update the development of Microsoft.
Other options that must be present in the equipment to be flirtatious and a good solution, is that they do not lack USB 3.0 connectivity; that the weight is less than two kilos (we must not forget that the destination of these laptops is to be transported from one place to another); and, in addition, WiFi connectivity must be Dual Band type as this ensures perfect operation when accessing the Internet.
Other things to look for in these teams
One of them is the processor . Here you have to measure well the power needs that you have, since it is not the same to have to edit even videos than simply watching YouTube content -or creating text documents-. There are all kinds of options, from the Celeron to the powerful, Core i7, but two of the best options for balance are the Core i3 and, especially, the Intel Core i5 (and not forgetting the AMD Ryzen 5s so good results are giving).
In what has to do with autonomy, we believe that the ideal is to end up more in the time of use offered than in the actual charge of the battery. The appropriate thing is that you get eight hours of use for a complete cycle, since this way you can complete a full working day or study.
Laptops that are good purchase options
We leave below several models that meet all of the aforementioned and, therefore, become more than correct possibilities if you are looking for models with a 14-inch screen that cost no more than 600 euros. By the way, all of them can be obtained at the Amazon online store.
HP 240 G7
A solvent choice, since this laptop weighs only 1.52 kilos and its hardware is quite complete: an eighth generation Intel Core i5 processor and 8 GB of RAM. To this is added a large capacity disk so that you do not lack space. Its WiFi adapter is Dual band and the autonomy exceeds eight hours perfectly.
Lenovo Ideapad C340
The big bet of this model is its processor, a modern Ryzen 5 from AMD, so it is quite correct in all kinds of tasks. It includes Windows 10 and in the memory section the combination is very positive 8 GB of RAM and 256 gigabytes of storage. Its screen is full HD resolution and excellent autonomy.
Dell Latitude E5450
If there is something that stands out on this computer, it is one of the laptops that has the most RAM, since it reaches 16 GB. The processor chosen by the manufacturer is an Intel Core i5, something that is quite sensible, and does not lack SSD storage. Well in connectivity, since it includes three USB 3.0 ports, it also includes HDMI video output.
Acer Aspire 5
In this case, the highlight of this model that includes a chiclet keyboard, is that the integrated SSD storage reaches 512 GB, so it is the best equipped in this section. Well equipped in processor and RAM, the screen uses IPS type is Full HD, so it has no cracks. Exceeds eight hours of autonomy.
Huawei Matebook D
Another of the 14-inch laptops, with Full HD resolution, which bets on an AMD Ryzen 5 processor. Therefore, it is complete in terms of performance. Its Radeon Vega 8 graphic allows the execution of games in three dimensions, and the RAM amounts to 8 GB, so it is correct. Its storage is SSD and the autonomy exceeds 10 hours.
TECLAST F7Plus
A curious model that, although it offers all that is needed in memory (8 GB of RAM and 256 gigabytes SSD to save information), the processor is the least powerful of all those chosen since we talk about an Intel Celeron N4100. Therefore, it is an ideal equipment for those who do not have great power needs. Of course, it is dug in metal and the WiFi is Dual Band.
MEDION S4401
It is another of the cheap laptops. Although it does not have a particularly bad processor, we are talking about an Intel Core i3, it does well with its 8 GB of RAM and its good capacity SSD. With an integrated Windows 10 license, its 14-inch screen is Full HD and Dolby compatible sound.
Lenovo Ideapad S145
Its large 512 GB storage disk type SSD is the great claim that this device has. The battery hardly meets the minimum required, since the battery charge is not especially large. The processor is an eighth generation Intel Core i5, and the weight stays at only 1.6 kilos. It does not lack Windows 10.
HP 14s-dq1001ns
It is one of the most complete laptops of all that is currently in the assembly, since among other things it includes 8 GB of RAM; 256 gigabytes of SSD storage; and, even, it does not lack a USB Type-C port. The processor is an Intel Core i3, so it is not the most powerful, but solvent. Its screen is Full HD and, in terms of weight, this is less than two kilos.
Acer Aspire 5 Comfy
Its 14-inch IPS screen with 1080p resolution (it is LED), is already a good preview of what this model offers. With a 512 GB SSD, the Intel Core i5 processor that integrates takes advantage of the high information transfer rate of the previous component. It has no problems with RAM or Internet access (the WiFi adapter is Dual Band). Its autonomy reaches eight hours perfectly.
