Yes, i just did it. If you go to activation. It gives you the option to switch out no problem. Keep in mind that you can’t go back to S mode. Which I don’t think anyone would want to go back anyway. Hope this helps
I’m a Joke It’s definitely worth the upgrade you’re going to see up to 20 percent better cpu performance and 10 percent GPU Performance well worth it i upgraded and well I’m getting a pc experience the least to say
No dual monitors unfortunately. It has one hdmi out which allows it to extend or duplicate. Image on the laptop and one on monitor or tv. Also since the resolution of the laptop is only 1366x768. If i plug the hdmi out to a 1080p tv (40 inches) it doesn’t fill up the entire screen.
Muy buen video! Quería consultar, estoy entre este modelo de HP con un Athlon silver 3050U, pero con 16gb de ram y 480 ssd o una lenovo con monitor de 15' que tiene un core I3 10th gen, 8 de ram con 240 ssd. Cual me conviene? Me hace dudar el procesador a la hora de elegir. Cual recomendas?
Solo mi opinión, pero el i3 de décima generación es bastante bueno si nos fijamos en los puntos de referencia. un lenovo de 15 pulgadas probablemente solo tenga una ranura para ram. En mi opinión, optaría por lenovo, porque puede actualizar a 20 gb de ram fácilmente en el futuro. (Just my opinion but the i3 10th gen is actually pretty good if you look at benchmarks. a lenovo 15 inch most likely only has one ram slot. In my opinion, I would go lenovo, because you can upgrade to 20gb ram easy in the future.)
Good job. From what I can tell this is the same as the 14-dk1008ca (Best Buy Canada version). I'm looking for a very budget laptop for my in-laws which they will primarily use for Zoom. Have you had any success figuring out if the camera is actually at least 720p? Thanks.
Yes definitely a 720 camera. I had to use microsoft teams and zoom to check! I needed to do updates when I first got the laptop. 0.92 megapixels on the camera so definitely 720p

interesting. Yup looks the same. In terms of zoom, it will do a good job. Although you won't be able to run zoom virtual backgrounds as this is only a dual core.

Good question let me double check. The best buy description says it’s suppose to be a 720p camera but when I did the unboxing I didn’t get 720p camera in the settings. Let me double check again
Hi, do you know if you are able to add an SSD to this laptop? Mine currently has a 1TB HDD. I recently bought it and it's a bit slow. Also, is there anything else I can add or do to increase the performance speed?
At stock not enough ram and barely any ssd space. After ssd and ram upgrades I can run photoshop, illustrator, premierre and after effects. Minimum for after effects is 16gb at least so I don’t recommend this pc for after effects. The cpu will struggle
Hey dude, i wanna buy this laptop but im not really sure. I'm gonna use it for university, zoom classes, word, PowerPoint, Excel and stuff. do you think this computer is good enough for what I need?!!
Yes it will be enough. Just letting you know camera isn’t the best on this. Also you won’t be able to run zoom virtual backgrounds but you will still be able to use zoom. I wouldn’t get it unless it was on sale, I got it for $240 which is good for what it is. If you have the budget I would get something with more firepower or a better webcam at least
Thanks! Btw the camera isn’t 720p. If you notice in the unboxing I couldn’t find the 720p option for the camera. Even after updates: the best buy description for the camera was incorrect:
@@whattmeter Idk if my other comment posted but I’ll repost this. I bought the 14-DK1013DX, which im guessing is the successor of your model. Anything you recommend I add so it can run smooth when I take it out of S Mode? Already has 4Gb ram and 128gb ssd. You can look at the other details easily by google searching the model and bestbuy will pop up at the top. I appreciate the help!
Would this be good to play league of legends and can a drawing tablet be used for this? I’m trying to find something where I can play some games and so I can draw so I need something good and cheap. My price range is 450 and lower
Pretty much you cannot download anything 3rd party or not part of Microsoft store. You cannot install things like google chrome, zoom, and other programs like firefox. You can remove s mode if needed and switch to windows 10 home for free. I made a video on that as well.
yes, but a very low resolution computer 1366x768. I added ram and an ssd. Will definitely last 3 years if taken care off. Most of my laptops are working. This hp is not a bad laptop.
Roblox will run definitely. Fortnite will not work unless you upgrade the ram and ssd because it takes a lot of storage. I made a video th-cam.com/video/hesLF0AVLHE/w-d-xo.html
How good can it run Minecraft java? My brother wants to buy one and he wants to know how good Minecraft java edition will run. Like 8 render and fancy graphics, 60 fps firm? Or 30fps? Please test that at 1366x768
Yes! Except if the high school student wants to game or use auto cad or adobe creative cloud. For basic stuff yes. Intense stuff I recommend adding ram and bigger ssd
sorry for the late comment but I ordered the 1TB HDD (5400 rpm) and 8GB RAM version of this laptop and I was wondering if It would run applications like Roblox, discord, and Crunchyroll fine?
I have bought the same kind of laptop like 2-3 years ago and I’m thinking of getting the 2020 version as a upgrade. When I first got mine, first day it was already lagging and such. I’m guessing the model I have is 2016. Is it worth upgrading to the 2020? All I do is research and use one software for work.
Hi, If I may ask what type of software do you use for work? or the minimum specs. This laptop is ok, Athlon silver with a 11 sec boot time. The SSD on this has 500 read and write speed so it should be much faster than the model 2 years ago. It is also easy to upgrade the ram and the ssd if you are comfortable upgrading.
jasetutorials WinISD Pro, a simple software for building custom enclosures. I also had the laptop cut off on me when I was in college, that was annoying lol.
Lol. It seems like the laptop should be able to handle it. I upgraded the laptop and know that it only has one fan. It can’t do anything resource intensive for long periods of time
You mean like anytime? The battery can be removed, but you would have to open the bottom cover. It is not easily accessible that you can pop out and in at anytime if that makes sense
At stock this computer cannot run fall guys. That’s a pretty good game. My friends play it. It requires at least 8gb ram so you probably have to upgrade the laptop to at least 16gb
@@tippy4410 32gb (two 16 sticks) was about 130 bucks If I remember correctly. After testing games and stuff 16gb is the sweet spot. Two 8gb sticks is about 70 bucks.
As stock, it’s only good for basic browsing. The 4gb ram and 128gb ssd has many limits that is why most people upgrade this laptop. Any heavy school applications like autocard, photoshop or illustrator will be too much for this laptop with the stock specs
As stock? Not enough firepower on this laptop for heavy editing. You would either need to add ram and ssd. Also definitely not enough firepower for editing 360 degree videos
is a great laptop, i could get a chinese mark but with a lot of issues and not warranty, but this laptop is easy asssss, the m.2 can be upgraded to 240 or 500 gb, the 8 gb of ram is enough remember u have an athlon, autocad, solidworks and corel are kinda heavy but the laptop can do it, theres a space for caddy ssd and the both slots of ram are attachable
I have this same laptop. However, whenever you are watching TH-cam with other tabs open, the computer will freeze and can make the screen turn black. I had to restart the computer several times to undo the freezing. Should my RAM be upgraded?
By any chance are you using google chrome? Do you have many tabs open? Chrome is resource intensive as a browser. It’s great but can use a lot of resources
Thank u so much. Also,is the webcam good? Looking for a laptop with good webcam and performance. I'm gonna get the 8gb of ram. I wanna do homeschool too. Can it run roblox?
@@whattmeter btw, you mentioned in the video you'd update about the amount of time the laptop would stay on being disconnected. How much power time does it have being unplugged? Let's say one is just watching TH-cam videos.
Greetings from Mexico, is it recommended for basic office use? And can you change the memory of 128GB? And do you know what a similar Intel processor this Athlon silver would be? Thank you. 🇲🇽
Yes. Just basic tasks for this laptop. Yes the 128gb can be upgraded (m.2 ssd). I would say intel i3 is similar to this. Some low end intel i5 as well is comparable. It depends what generation. Base speed of this is 2.3 ghz so not bad for the hardware it is running
From what I know the amd 6/9 has a higher base speed of 3.1 gHz but only supports ram up to 2133MHz. The athlon silver can support ram 2400MHz. Do you know what hardware/ monitor specs the amd 6/9 will be running?
Both are good choices. The 1tb for the hp15 is most likely a 5400rpm hard drive which is easy to upgrade. Tough choice. Both are good the bigger screen might be better for office work
It could be a different model. The computer in the video is from best buy as well. Model is 14-dk1003dx. There are many models with similar designs for hp. It can get confusing
jasetutorials your right. I was looking at the FX model. Yup that reviewer bought the wrong model. Of course the one you have is sold out 😆. You still like using yours? I’m only getting one for basic web surfing. I like the hp streams too. I have a old ml6732 gateway laptop and I need to upgrade. I would upgrade the windows vista to windows 10 but the ml6732 might be too old for W10.
Yes, the one I am using is not bad at all especially for basic tasks. The hp 14 streams are pretty good too. That’s really cool you have a gateway laptop. Been awhile since I’ve seen a gateway computer. I get a lot of questions about games so that is what I have been testing on the hp laptop lately
jasetutorials ooh. Lol. Honestly it was my Mother’s. Is it that old? Lol. It’s slow but works but I figured the one you reviewed is way faster. I don’t computer game at all. I have my PS4 for that. I’m a little older too so hopefully my questions were different. I found a open box one for $240, the one you reviewed 👍 Thank you. Keep up the good work.
I have a slightly upgraded fq0013dx version, which is $500+ at the time of this comment. Biggest problem I see is upgrading. I had it a little over a week and the SSD card is already near maxed out after updating windows and a few necessary apps like Chrome, VLC, etc. I was hoping it would be easy to add more RAM, add a secondary hard drive or at least upgrade the one inside... but it looks like a monster to get inside.
Great Video. I just got this laptop and when I try to adjust the brightness it stays the same on the screen even though the brightness level changes. Is it because of s mode?
I’m not sure what is going on. Is this a windows guest account? Is it possible it is a defective display? I would probably contact hp and ask them for help troubleshooting
It has a 720p camera. It can run zoom, microsoft teams. It can do basic web browsing. Unless the office work requires auto cad or heavy programs. This is a basic laptop and can do basic office work no problem
Unless did you need to do presentations on this laptop? If you plug in the hdmi out to a 1080p (40 inch tv) it will not fill up the entire tv screen. Reason is the resolution on this monitor is 1366x768. Also I recommend switching out of windows 10 s mode so you can install things like chrome and firefox. It’s easy and free to do
Nice! The Acer Inspire 5 Slip is a 1080p laptop so definitely a huge upgrade. Has an IPS display which is better than what the HP has which is a TN display. If you have the budget I would go acer inspire 5 slim. Also what specs are you seeing for the model you are checking. Is it a 1 TB Acer? There are many Acer Aspire 5 slim configurations out there. I would definitely double check. Also the camera on the acer aspire 5 slim should be 720p.
jasetutorials yes I checked specs and has everything you mentioned and only priced at about 40 bucks more . I will take you advice and go with it. Thank you so much for your advice and videos , I have learned a lot!
@@ElDarkox based on the minecraft requirements with 8gb of ram I think it will run it 30 fps at low settings. 1366x768 resolution. It's a guess but most likely it will run it 30 fps or less.
Well for a computer with that price i would think Minecraft would lag on it but since you got one that has 16gb it should run ok not the highest setting but its gonna be okay
Like how long? From my observation around 2-3 hours light gaming. 4-5 hours watching youtube videos with headphones. It’s a 41Wh battery. Thats just me though so It could be different for others
it depends on the settings. I would say 3.5 to play it safe. Also, will you be connecting this laptop to a big tv? 1080p or 4k tv? just letting you know if you connect this to such a display it won't display as a full screen (there will be black space around). the laptop resolution is 1366x768 max so just a heads up. It won't work well for presentations or connecting to a big screen.
It is just AMD radeon graphics. It’s integrated video graphics that has a core clock of 400 MHz and memory clock of 933MHz. The shared gpu memory on this laptop can be improved with more ram. Since we upgraded the laptop with more ram it has dedicated gpu memory of 2gb and and shared gpu memory of 15 gb
TN. If you google the model number of the monitor cmn14e3. 1366x768 resolution 60hz 6-bit (bit depth) rgb color format with color space of SDR (standard dynamic range)

yes, but keep in mind the resolution on this is low. 1366x768 so most like your videos will come out not full screen. Isn't the elegato 60s 1080p?
@@whattmeter yea it’s 1080p , I ended up buying a Mac lol
Nice! Macs are good
Thank u so much. Also,is the webcam good? Looking for a laptop with good webcam and performance. I'm gonna get the 8gb of ram. I wanna do homeschool too. Can it run roblox?
Roblox will run 40-60 fps. Webcam is 720p or 0.9mp which is common nowadays. The webcam is good
Thanks, just what I'm looking for.
Thanks, also, can it run games like minecraft?
Yes if you are getting 8gb ram. Minecraft windows 10 home edition will run at 50-60 fps
Here’s a video with some Minecraft gameplay with 32 upgraded ram. It shows it won’t utilize all ram th-cam.com/video/VbUbB_tFo4U/w-d-xo.html
battery option most likely in bios
Hi i am thinking of getting this for school is it good for PowerPoint and one note?
Did u ever get it?
It’s a very basic laptop
It can handle ppt and one note, but For heavy use might not be best
@@whattmeter hb like zoom calls and excel
Thank you! Awesome review! Saw this before buying it. You're the best!
You’re welcome! Glad it helped
@@whattmeter btw, you mentioned in the video you'd update about the amount of time the laptop would stay on being disconnected. How much power time does it have being unplugged? Let's say one is just watching TH-cam videos.
I would say about four hours for battery while watching youtube videos with headphones.
When testing games around 2-3 hours from my current settings but I do have the laptop with upgraded ram and ssd which probably makes it use more power
@@whattmeter ok, it's not much but that's ok. Thanks for answering so quickly, you're awesome!
Greetings from Mexico, is it recommended for basic office use? And can you change the memory of 128GB? And do you know what a similar Intel processor this Athlon silver would be? Thank you. 🇲🇽
Yes. Just basic tasks for this laptop. Yes the 128gb can be upgraded (m.2 ssd). I would say intel i3 is similar to this. Some low end intel i5 as well is comparable. It depends what generation. Base speed of this is 2.3 ghz so not bad for the hardware it is running
@@whattmeter thanks and the other one this is better than AMD 6/9 9425? Thanks. 😬
From what I know the amd 6/9 has a higher base speed of 3.1 gHz but only supports ram up to 2133MHz. The athlon silver can support ram 2400MHz. Do you know what hardware/ monitor specs the amd 6/9 will be running?
Yes I don't know between this hp laptop with Athlon 4Ram/128SSDb or hp 15-db0074lm amd a9 ram 4gb dd 1tb
Both are good choices. The 1tb for the hp15 is most likely a 5400rpm hard drive which is easy to upgrade. Tough choice. Both are good the bigger screen might be better for office work
Some reviews say there’s didn’t have the Ethernet port. Best Buy version. True?
It could be a different model. The computer in the video is from best buy as well. Model is 14-dk1003dx. There are many models with similar designs for hp. It can get confusing
They might have gotten the 14-fq0013dx model which is really similar
jasetutorials your right. I was looking at the FX model. Yup that reviewer bought the wrong model. Of course the one you have is sold out 😆.
You still like using yours? I’m only getting one for basic web surfing.
I like the hp streams too.
I have a old ml6732 gateway laptop and I need to upgrade. I would upgrade the windows vista to windows 10 but the ml6732 might be too old for W10.
Yes, the one I am using is not bad at all especially for basic tasks. The hp 14 streams are pretty good too. That’s really cool you have a gateway laptop. Been awhile since I’ve seen a gateway computer. I get a lot of questions about games so that is what I have been testing on the hp laptop lately
jasetutorials ooh. Lol. Honestly it was my Mother’s. Is it that old? Lol. It’s slow but works but I figured the one you reviewed is way faster. I don’t computer game at all. I have my PS4 for that. I’m a little older too so hopefully my questions were different. I found a open box one for $240, the one you reviewed 👍
Thank you. Keep up the good work.
I've had it for a month and a half... and the touchpad stopped working today. I'm restarting it right now, i hope it fixes the problem
Sorry to hear that. if it was me I would try contacting support. Only a month and a half it should be under warranty
So how much available space will I have on this labtop ?
it's a 128ssd so not a lot. Minus the operating system probably around 100gb depending on udpates
jasetutorials 😂 that’s a lot to me because my labtop rn only has 5 available gb with nothing downloaded
Oh is it a 32gb ssd? It’s common.
jasetutorials tbh I don’t know I got this like 5 years ago
Could be a 32gb or 64gb emmc. Which is pretty fast. Oh well hope the video helped you out. Let me know if you have any questions
I have a slightly upgraded fq0013dx version, which is $500+ at the time of this comment. Biggest problem I see is upgrading. I had it a little over a week and the SSD card is already near maxed out after updating windows and a few necessary apps like Chrome, VLC, etc. I was hoping it would be easy to add more RAM, add a secondary hard drive or at least upgrade the one inside... but it looks like a monster to get inside.
Not too bad to open it up but a little more challenging than other laptops. Ram isn’t too hard the m.2 ssd is definitely not enough at 128gb
Does it has the touchscreen feature?
No touchscreen feature unfortunately . Very basic laptop
jasetutorials thanks
Can you hook it up to your monitor
Yes if it has hdmi. Thing is the resolution of the laptop is 1366 x768 so if your monitor is high res, it wont display full screen
Can u be able to connect to the internet by hotspot?
Yes hotspot or wifi or mifi will work
@@whattmeter Thanks!
No problem
Great Video. I just got this laptop and when I try to adjust the brightness it stays the same on the screen even though the brightness level changes. Is it because of s mode?
I don’t think so. Is night light on? Also are you on power saver mode? Also I would check if the screen becomes brighter when you plug in your laptop
@@whattmeter I'm on best performance and I cant access night light mode
Right click on desktop then select display. Then you should see night light settings
@@whattmeter when I go to night light settings the turn on now button doesn't give me the option to turn it on
I’m not sure what is going on. Is this a windows guest account? Is it possible it is a defective display? I would probably contact hp and ask them for help troubleshooting
Do this comes with a cd/dvd rom?
Unfortunately no. No dvd or cd drive for this hp laptop.
Would you recommend this for remote office work?
It has a 720p camera. It can run zoom, microsoft teams. It can do basic web browsing. Unless the office work requires auto cad or heavy programs. This is a basic laptop and can do basic office work no problem
Unless did you need to do presentations on this laptop? If you plug in the hdmi out to a 1080p (40 inch tv) it will not fill up the entire tv screen. Reason is the resolution on this monitor is 1366x768. Also I recommend switching out of windows 10 s mode so you can install things like chrome and firefox. It’s easy and free to do
jasetutorials would you recommend this over the Acer inspire 5 slim laptop 💻 ?
Nice! The Acer Inspire 5 Slip is a 1080p laptop so definitely a huge upgrade. Has an IPS display which is better than what the HP has which is a TN display. If you have the budget I would go acer inspire 5 slim. Also what specs are you seeing for the model you are checking. Is it a 1 TB Acer? There are many Acer Aspire 5 slim configurations out there. I would definitely double check. Also the camera on the acer aspire 5 slim should be 720p.
jasetutorials yes I checked specs and has everything you mentioned and only priced at about 40 bucks more . I will take you advice and go with it. Thank you so much for your advice and videos , I have learned a lot!
Can this run windows 11 because i have this one
Good question.unfortunately I never tried windows 11 yet. Is it available?
Is there a way to make my camera 720p?Its very bad
Unfortunately no. Yeah the camera is 480p
Is the SSD and the RAM soldered on?
Nope i was able to make an ssd and ram upgrade video
Thanks
you're welcom
is there a touchscreen
No touchscreen unfortunately
Can support to play Minecraft and csgo in low grafics?
With added ram yes. It will struggle with just 4gb. I recommend adding some ram
I did do a video test with fortnite and csgo but i had 32gb of ram
Oh thanks You so much
@@whattmeter and how much fps You think it run Minecraft
@@ElDarkox based on the minecraft requirements with 8gb of ram I think it will run it 30 fps at low settings. 1366x768 resolution. It's a guess but most likely it will run it 30 fps or less.
Can this computer run minecraft stock
Yup with 4gb of ram it can run Minecraft stock
jasetutorials how much fps?
It should be at least 30fps. Minecraft requires 2gb ram so you should be good
jasetutorials alright thank you
This currently on sale on hp site for $279 with upgraded 8GB ram and 256 SSD.
Wow that’s a good price
can it run wizard101
Can it run Minecraft java
Yup it can. But at stock it will have a hard time
Can you play minecraft with mods
I bought the one with 16gb of ram could I run Minecraft on that with no lag?
Well for a computer with that price i would think Minecraft would lag on it but since you got one that has 16gb it should run ok not the highest setting but its gonna be okay
How long is the battery life?
casual browsing/youtube/netflix 3-5 hours. Gaming 2-3 hours. It's a small monitor so it uses less power
@@whattmeter is the laptop in the vid this one? www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08FSRLDMQ/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A254Q68O1TCVS&th=1
you might not see this, but will it work for school, minecraft, discord, stuff like that.
yes it can handle minecraft and discord.
Does it work for roblxo
Yup I made a video
Okay ty for rpelying
Can this run Netflix and Hulu
Yes but max resolution of the screen is 1366x768 so if you connect to 1080p or 4k monitor it won’t be full screen unless theres a zoom function
No dvd drive??
No dvd drive
Will this pc play PES 2018?
It’s more of an entry level basic laptop. Not really for gaming if no upgrades pn it
Can this computer run light games like roblox and csgo?
Yes it can
Can you turn that dumb s mode off so I can download firefox?
Yes it’s pretty easy many videos out there on how to do it
@@whattmeter I saw you made a video. did it work for this specific computer?
Yes it did. There are other videos out there as well. Keep in mind you cant go back to s mode once you remove it
@@whattmeter I bet if you do a system restore you can. None the less I wouldn't want restrictions on my computer that's silly lol. Thanks bro
Oh yeah haha good point system restore
bro, nice video!. How much does the battery work?
Like how long? From my observation around 2-3 hours light gaming. 4-5 hours watching youtube videos with headphones. It’s a 41Wh battery. Thats just me though so It could be different for others
@@whattmeter so, using netflix/ youtube/facebook or apps like this, almost 4 hours are garantized?
it depends on the settings. I would say 3.5 to play it safe. Also, will you be connecting this laptop to a big tv? 1080p or 4k tv? just letting you know if you connect this to such a display it won't display as a full screen (there will be black space around). the laptop resolution is 1366x768 max so just a heads up. It won't work well for presentations or connecting to a big screen.
@@whattmeter and the last question, what radeon graphic does it have?
It is just AMD radeon graphics. It’s integrated video graphics that has a core clock of 400 MHz and memory clock of 933MHz. The shared gpu memory on this laptop can be improved with more ram. Since we upgraded the laptop with more ram it has dedicated gpu memory of 2gb and and shared gpu memory of 15 gb
Would league of legends work on this computer?
Yes it will work. Lol is not too intensive
tn or ips?
TN. If you google the model number of the monitor cmn14e3. 1366x768 resolution 60hz 6-bit (bit depth) rgb color format with color space of SDR (standard dynamic range)
Great question no one ever asked me that before. Might have to do that for future unboxings
The price pleace
I got the laptop for $240 on sale for best buy. There are various models other with more ram or a bigger ssd but more expensive
Thank u bro
my screen flashes when scrolling down every 5-10 seconds. any idea?
new computer? same model? check display driver. Any windows updates recently?
How’s the fan on this laptop?
it's kinda small. Nothing fancy. Are you planning on running games a lot? This is more of a budget laptop for light use.
@@whattmeter sorry I meant like the Fan noise, like is it quiet or not 😅
can it run roblox on max graphics tho 😕
I did some testing. I wouldn’t recommend max graphics especially at stock. It can run roblox but not mac settings very well
Good video 👍👍
Can yo download iTunes on this laptop
It should work on any windows 10 64 bit pc. It should work on this laptop
could it run minecraft or roblox
Yup Minecraft and roblox no problem
Could this run valorant
Yes it can
Is this good for roblox?
It’s ok. It will run roblox but it’s more of a budget entry level laptop in my opinion
