Amazon.in:Customer reviews: HP 14 8th Gen Intel i5 Processor FHD Laptop (8GB/1TB HDD/Windows 10/Integrated Graphics/MS Office/Natural Silver/1.43 kg), 14s-cs1000tu

Reviewed in India on 21 July 2019

First of all, I got this for about Rs 19200 and I will be reviewing as per that price.The body is plastic but not that shiny plastic HP usually provides that gets scratched easily.

1. Display is Fine. Not too good or bad.
2. Keyboard is fine again. No backlit keyboard as expected for the price.
3. Mouse pad is a bit slow but you can always increase the sensitivity.
4. Gesture support is there.
5. Battery Life is good. I charged the laptop to 100 and watched Netflix offline for 2 hours on full brightness and earphones. The battery then dropped to 85. SO YOU CAN EXPECT GOOD BACKUP
6. GAMING: I played basic games like GTA Vice City and it ran fine as expected.
7. SSD: OMG! This makes a huge difference. The PC boots in about 5 seconds. Even though the storage is only 256GB but it is worth it as it makes the laptop faster that my other HP with i5 8th gen processor
8. You get 2 USB 2.0, 1 USB 3.0, 1 Ethernet, 1 HDMI, 1 headphone jack, 1 SD card reader as ports.
9. Speakers are good. Not too loud nor too tiny.
10. I think it has a small fan. I did not face any heating issues.
11. Webcam is there of OK quality

Overall a very good buy under 20K. I would definitely recommend this product

Perfect for WFH. Good value for money

Reviewed in India on 7 July 2020

Verified Purchase

This is my review after using the product for 8 months & considering the price 17.7k I paid on Amazon.
My usage included daily WFH for office, video editing on weekends using VSDC, usual browsing and asphalt 9 gaming very few times.

PROS
1. The only available NVMe SSD laptop in the market under rs.20k.
2. Boots in 3 to 4.3 seconds depending on apps you use it in start up.
3. Keyboard layout is simple to get used to & track pad accurate all the time. Accidental touches are very rare.
4. Performance is good & no lags noticed even with asphalt 9 high graphics settings / 1GB video rendering with VSDC. CPU is on par with intel i3 7th gen.
5. Battery backup is consistent & gave upto 8+ hours screen on time during WFH (without zoom calls on laptop)

MAJOR CONS
1. No MS OFFICE bundled. You need to buy or side load.
2. WLED screen on this laptop limits viewing angles to large extent. Watching movies with 2-3 people is out of question !

MINOR CONS
1. USB ports are closer to each other - you can't insert two pen drives next to each other if form factor is big. E.g. you can't insert 2 Kingston pendrives next to each other !!
2. Audio from headphone jack gives very less bass levels, not ideal for music with high bass.

VERDICT:
Considering all PROS and CONS, I would still recommend this laptop, IF YOU GET IT BELOW RS.20K, for work-from-home needs, students or teaching staffs and even for entry level content creators, as no other NVMe SSD laptops are available at this price segment as on Jul2020 !

Unexpected Budget Champ

I ordered this laptop for 18k (with Bank Offer) during the Great Indian Festival Sale. The laptop was delivered the next day and the packaging was great, too. Following is my review after using it for 15 days.

Performance:
This is the only laptop that comes with an SSD at this price point, and trust me, it makes a huge difference in the responsiveness of the system and the boot up speed. Windows boots in 4-5 seconds, apps such as Microsoft Word, Chrome, etc. start instantly. The Pentium Dual Core comes with hyperthreading, which means 4 logical cores. It is a decent performer when it comes to Web Browsing, Word Processing, Video Playback, etc. The best part is that although it comes with 4GB of RAM out of the box, it can easily be upgraded to 8 or even 12GB, since one RAM slot is empty. It also has a slot for a 2.5 inch drive, so another SSD or HDD can be added if the 256GB doesn't suffice. Word of advice: The laptop does come with a ton of bloatware, so be sure to uninstall the needless games and software.

Build Quality:
It definitely feels like it's a more expensive laptop than it really is. Although the chassis is made out of plastic, it is very good quality. There's very little flex on the keyboard deck as well as the screen. The keyboard keys feel tactile with good travel and the trackpad offers accurate tracking with reliable gesture control.

Media Consumption:
The screen does go decently bright but the colours aren't as punchy as I'd like. The 14 inch display is a good size. Also the resolution is limited to 1366x768, but at this price, I guess you really can't complain. The laptop doesn't break a sweat even when playing 4K Videos, locally or YouTube, so you can always use an external display with the peace of mind that the hardware can handle it. The speakers get loud and stay clear even at high volume. The bass is a little lacking, though.

Battery Life:
On light to medium usage, such as YouTube video playback, web browsing, word processing, etc I got around 6-7 hours of battery on a single charge. The laptop also comes with fast charging, so it can be charged from 0 to 100 in under 2 hours.

Final thoughts:
This laptop was meant as a replacement for an old desktop computer for my dad. We're both very happy with the purchase. If you're in need of a secondary PC or are looking for a computer to replace that old desktop your parents are using, this laptop should definitely be taken under consideration. Be sure to buy this laptop during a sale, since this particular configuration which is normally available for 25k, goes down to 20k. A bank offer only sweetens the deal further.

7 Month Review

Reviewed in India on 12 February 2020

Verified Purchase

I am writing this review after using the laptop for 7 months. I wouldn't bore you with numbers and figures, I will just write a simple review in layman terms.
Firstly, it is funny reading the negative reviews of stupid people. If you are buying a laptop for 22k expecting it to have keyboard backlights or home theatre system, it is your fault, not the laptop's.

Now to start with the review:
I can never really remember its model name with all the numbers and letters, but I got it seven months ago, I use it daily, and I LOVE it. I bought it due to the SSD drive available at this low price (which meant a super fast laptop).
I used to have a very costly Asus laptop earlier, which I used for around 1 year. During this time, everything that could possibly go wrong with the laptop went wrong. Totally worthless product.
This is why I purchased a cheap one this time, i.e. this laptop. I am a professional and I spend 8+ hours on a laptop daily typing. And I have so far loved this laptop.

Who is it for:
This laptop is ideal for professionals and students who need a decent device to work (except video editing), study notes, or surf the internet. It is good for video calling, using Microsoft office, and multitasking. The screen is small and it is easy to carry.

Who is it NOT for:
If you are looking for a laptop for entertainment purposes, look elsewhere. This laptop is not really for gaming or for any other type of entertainment. The hard disk size is 240gb, so you won't really be able to store many movies or games on it.

Coming to Stupid Reviews:
Expecting keyboard lights or dolby audio is such a cheap laptop is plain stupidity. These are some of the features of high end models, or features of low end models that don't pay heed to quality.
I read someone criticize about the no DVD drive. I actually didn't realize it till I received the laptop. However, I didn't really mind it. It is 2020 and no one uses dvd drives. Further, even many premium laptops like Windows surface laptops don't come with a DVD drive.

Final review:
If you are a professional or a student that wants a fast, sturdy product with complete value for money, go for it.

All these seems a good customized specifications for fast performance because of 256GB SSD PCIe NVMe SSD. The NVMe SSD is even faster and advanced than normal SSD. So understand the difference. So this HDD is more fast in SSD's.
But as per the description, there is no DVD Drive. Please beware of that.

Pros:
1.Thin
2.Handy and weight less.
3.Full HD.
4.Sound is good.
5.Fast/Prompt Responsive.
6.PCIe NVMe SSD

Cons:
1.No Keyboard Back light.
2.No DVD Writer.
3.Microsoft Product activation not working properly for few devices.
4.When using high volumes, speakers getting cracking sound.
5. No VGA slot. (Very few people still use, not much issue).
6. No USB C-Port.
7. No USB 3.1

Let's see how it work's moving ahead.
Overall Best Buy for working professionals with decent performance because of 256GB SSD PCIe NVMe SSD.

Excellent bang for the buck

I bought this laptop (HP 14q cs0018-tu) for 19k INR in July 2019 on Prime day. It's really fast because it has an NVMe SSD with read speeds exceeding 1 GB/s! Windows 10 boots in less than 5 seconds. This is probably the cheapest laptop with a fast NVMe SSD (Toshiba KBG30ZMV256G). The Kaby Lake-R Pentium Gold processor 4417U has 2 cores and 4 threads and is more or less equivalent to a Core i3. The laptop is thin and light, and the keyboard is decent. The charging brick is also small and portable with sufficient cable length.

The major downside is the screen which is a sub-Full HD (1366x768) panel, but that's quite OK considering the price point. The other downside I noticed is that the two speakers are not symmetrically placed, but that's just nit picking.

Overall, I'm really happy with this laptop. It's great for web browsing, productivity/office work, and light programming. Easily the best laptop in the 20k INR segment and will handily beat more expensive laptops that have a 5400 rpm HDD.

Hello readers, reviewing this laptop after 5 days limited usage. hope you find my review helpful to make decision..

1. Very light weight, as good as mac...!!
2. Incredebly fast... it having SSD... Windows 10 boots in less than 5 sec..!!
3. Keyboard quality also good, Sound quality also very good with stereo effect.
4. Looks premium product.. Build quality is very good.
5. It is a new generation's lappy, so having inbuilt battery, so no user serviciable part inside..
6. Pentium Gold Processor which is as good as Core i3 + 4 GB RAM + 256 GB SSD + Windows 10 Licence Copy... Bang for the bucks...!!!

A decent laptop for your basic work like ms office, internet surfing, youtube, etc. Please note the config is made for normal office use so dont except to autocad, minitab to run on this. Also it is not made for gaming like nfs the run and all.
If you are clear about your use and exceptions, this laptop is CHota Packet Bada Dhamaka...
I purchased this in only 20K in Great indian Sale. and what you are getting in this prise?? Brand like HP along with SSD. Compared to traditional SATA HDD it makes huge diffanance. So fast for working, premium feel, Lightweight like Mac.. Must buy... If you are like to dump all the gigs of movies into your laptop, you can purchase external usb drive for that purpose. For our daily usage SSD making huge diffarance than HDD. also it having 2 USB 3.0 ports making faster file transfer within compatable devices.
Please note this dosent have DVD-RW Drive, Battery also non-removable, Laptop Bag also not provided.
I am very happy with my purchase.. Thanks amazon.in for making my day....!!

Been using it for around 3 years and ,I'll say it's OK overall but it's quite unpredictable ,takes a long time to boot and start an application and all .I think for the price they list the result is unsatisfactory.If this is the your first time buying a laptop I'll advice you to go for SSD ones at similar prices and some of them even has some modest GPU.
TLDR:It's a under average laptop if you consider the price and result and my recommendation is to avoid this one

Worst buy ! Never going buy electronic items online......., Now after the repair

Reviewed in India on 9 July 2020

Verified Purchase

It was good going on. The boot speed, performance, searching, coding etc was all good going on. Major reason for buying of this laptop is school. Just for school purpose I made a purchase on 10th of June 2020. Most of reviewers told me that it is a awesome product and the same thing I thought an made a purchase of this. It was good going since I bought.
Now comes the worst part,
On 6th of July 2020, a white line was showing first and it gone. I thought it was the application error that I was running on laptop. Then after 1 hour of Google meet on Chrome a permanent vertical white line appeared. I was shocked. You can understand what goes on mind when you buy a ₹25000 product and this happens.
I immediately call amazon, as you know what Amazon says( the product cannot be returned and bla bla bla) Then I called Hp. They registered the complain sent a technician to my house. The complain was registered on 6th July and technician came on 9th July (fast enough). As my product is under warranty so no charges of anything. He told me that LCD will be replaced.
Now comes the more worst part,
He told me that LCD will come on 12th July. But my laptop cannot be repaired because lockdown has been extended in Patna ie from 10th July to 16th July and if lockdown extends more then it will take about 1 month.
Now after LCD replacement
The laptop is working fine as expected, but then also never going to trust online market for electronic product as they just tell it's not under return so no help from us.
