Pros & Cons

Performance
This HP 14″ touchscreen home and business laptop packs the AMD’s new CPU champ, the Ryzen 3 3200U processor. This CPU is driven by the 12nm Zen+ processor. The 12nm lithography number reveals how fast your CPU can perform. The CPUs with 12 nm can perform better than those CPUs with 14 or 18 nm and more lithography figures.
The lower of the lithography figures, the faster your CPU can perform, and the lesser energy your PC will consume.
Furthermore, this R 3 chipset has 4-cores and 8-threads. The combination of these supports makes this laptop capable right away to run daily and business tasks as well as light gaming in thin and light laptops like this HP model.
Go for more cores if you intend to game on your laptop.
This 15W processor will start to clock at 2.1GHz and can boost max up to 3.7GHz automatically whenever your device needs it. This also outperforms some of i5 Intel’s CPUs, and even the i7 (i7-2820QM).
One of the highlights of this HP 14 touchscreen laptop review is the CPU of this laptop. It has integrated graphics, which is the Vega 3 on this laptop. With this graphics card, you will be able to play light gaming, such as Overwatch, Fortnite, etc at lower resolutions and settings.
If you are not an intensive gamer, you will be positively stunned by how you can run many games with this graphics card.
8GB of Memory
Inside this HP 14″ touchscreen home and business laptop featuring the DDR4-2400Mhz 8GB of RAM which is installed in two RAM slots. (2x 4GB). This dual-channel memory gives 20-30% better performance.
With the 8GB of memory, you will be able to do more than web browsing, social media, or editing MS Office documents. You will be able to do more professional computing tasks, like editing spreadsheets that have thousands of lines, editing graphics, and do light gaming. You cannot do these tasks if your laptop only has 4GB of RAM.
128GB of SSD Drive
The storage of this laptop is the Solid State Drive, which generally performs better than the traditional hard drive. SSDs are also more efficient in terms of power consumption. They are also durable since they don’t have moving parts. In a few years, SSDs will replace the traditional HDDs. More and more laptops pack the SSD rather than the sluggish HDD in this “SSD” age.
There is a 128GB of SSD in this HP 14″ touchscreen home and business laptop. Will 128GB enough for you? Before we are going to discuss further whether this storage capacity is enough or not, we need to go back to the design of this laptop.
This HP 14-dk0731ms is a lightweight and portable home as well as a business laptop. This said portability and performance are the priority. Traditional hard drives have moving parts, and bulkier in terms of the form factor. So to maintain its portability and its performance in this price range, this HP model packs the 128GB of SSD. The cost of this SSD storage capacity is probably equal, if not higher than a 1TB traditional hard drive.
So to know if this storage is enough, you will want to figure out your priority. If you are looking for performance, and portability and “have” budget, choose a laptop that has more SSD storage.
The more the SSD capacity it has the better it can perform
However, if you still want to have a fast SSD laptop that has bells and whistles (touchscreen feature, etc) like this one, then you must sacrifice the storage at this price.
These days, you can buy a cheap external hard drive for your external storage, or even storing your files on the cloud. This laptop was aimed at students and business people who are always on the go.
