When buying a laptop there's rarely a "one-size-fits-all" model. With the market saturated with hundreds of notebooks targeting wildly different user profiles, it can be really hard to find a model that satisfies our specific needs.

It's with that in mind that we're firm advocates for mid-range laptops. These are laptops that offer a decent balance of power, portability, and price. And today we're happy to talk about one such model, the HP 14-fq1021nr.

Packed with an AMD Ryzen 5 5500U CPU, 8 GB of RAM, 256 GB SSD storage, and a 14-inch Full HD display, this laptop offers plenty of power for home use and has managed to accrue quite a following thanks to its balance between specs and price. But, is it worth it? That's what we're here to find out in this in-depth review of the HP 14-fq1021nr.

                        Lenovo Ideapad 3 (81WE00NKUS): Review

  • Sleek, ultrabook design
  • Intel Core i5 quad-core processor

Finding the perfect laptop is always an issue of striking the perfect balance between what we're willing to pay and what we can't live without. Lenovo, as a premier laptop manufacturer, is very much aware of this and that's why it has managed to conquer a huge market share thanks to its extremely diverse and price-sensitive lineup. 

Having said that, today we're here to tackle a model aimed at powerusers who care more about processing power than they do about other features such as aesthetics or screen resolution. We're talking about the Lenovo Ideapad 3 (81WE00NKUS), a model that has managed to accrue stellar reviews thanks to its blazing fast performance, portable design and generous battery life. Without further ado, let's get on with this review and see what Lenovo is hiding under the hood with this one. 



HP 15-dy2021nr: Review of a Portable and Powerful Ultrabook

HP 15-dy2021nr: Core i5 laptop with SSD drive, QWERTY keyboard and Wi-Fi 6

Pros
  • Stylish ultrabook design
  • 15.6-inch Full HD IPS Display 
  • Expandable SSD storage
  • Wi-Fi 6
Cons
  • RAM memory not upgradeable 
  • The keyboard is not backlit
Finding a stylish ultrabook that features a decent set of key specs, doesn't weigh a ton, and isn't extremely overpriced is quite frankly a very challenging task. Most ultrabooks will feature either very limited specs or will try and seduce us with a novel design at the cost of a massive price tag, whilst still keeping the spec-sheet hungry for more power.

It's with that in mind that today we're happy to be reviewing one laptop that seems to be the exception to this rule. We're talking about the HP 15-dy2021nr, a lightweight 15-inch ultrabook that packs an 11th generation i5 processor, Intel Iris XE graphics, 8 GB of RAM, and 256 GB of SSD storage for the lightning-fast performance of everyday tasks. 

In short; the perfect student or business laptop. But don't take our word for it, check out everything there is to know in this review or see what people are saying about this model here
