In the picture above we see the HP Pavilion 14-b031us, one of the new equipment from Hewlett-Packard. This is an ultra-thin laptop that measures just 0.8 inches thick and has a 14-inch screen. Given their size and weight of 1.8 kilograms does not fit into the category of ultraportables, but still be comfortable to wear. While it has its good points, it also has some bad: your processor is low voltage, causing lower yields than a standard, does not have any optical drive, so forget about inserting a DVD into it, and finally uses a 4-cell battery that lasts about 4 hours. One good thing about all this that costs only $380.
The full list of specifications and hardware can be seen below:
-Screen: 14 inches with a resolution of 1366 × 768 pixels.
-Processor: Intel Pentium dual-core 987 1.5GHz with 2MB of cache.
