The HP Pavilion Plus 14 (model series 14-eh0xxx) is a 14-inch mid-range laptop for buyers who want more than a budget machine and less than a premium ultrabook. It pairs Intel’s 13th-generation Core i5-1335U with 16 GB of dual-channel memory, a 512 GB PCIe 4.0 SSD, and a 14-inch 2.2K IPS display in a recycled-aluminum chassis. At a $899 MSRP, it is one of the few sub-1,000-dollar laptops that ships with a 2.2K 16:10 panel and a 5 MP webcam.
Spec verification note: HP’s product page (hp.com/us-en/shop/pavilion-laptops.html) was not reachable from this sandbox during post generation — the request returned an HTTP/2 stream error. The specs below are drawn from the verified HP Pavilion Plus 14 (14-eh0000) review on RTINGS and LaptopMedia’s 14-eh0000/eh1000 spec database, which document the same chassis and component list. Treat this as best-available third-party verification rather than manufacturer-direct sourcing.
The Pavilion Plus 14 sits in a specific niche: a thin-and-light 14-inch laptop with a 16:10 high-resolution panel, a 5 MP webcam, and Intel’s 13th-gen silicon. It is for hybrid office workers who spend hours in video calls and want a webcam that does not make them look pixelated, knowledge workers who want a 14-inch 2.2K panel in a sub-1,000-dollar laptop without paying OLED prices, and students who want a 16:10 aspect ratio for documents and split-screen research.
If you need a discrete GPU for gaming or video work, look at the Acer Swift X 14 (RTX 4050). If you want OLED at this size and price, the ASUS ZenBook 14 OLED (UX3405MA) is the more obvious pick. If you want a 15-inch screen with a number pad, the Lenovo IdeaPad 5 15 is the next step up.
| Component | Configuration |
|---|---|
| CPU | Intel Core i5-1335U (10 cores: 2 P-core + 8 E-core, 12 threads, up to 4.6 GHz, 12 MB cache); also offered with i7-1355U, i5-1340P, i7-13700H on higher SKUs |

| Storage | 512 GB M.2 PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe SSD (one M.2 2280 slot) |
| Display | 14.0-inch 2.2K (2240 x 1400) IPS, 16:10, 300 nits, anti-glare, 100% sRGB, 60 Hz; optional 2.8K (2880 x 1800) 90 Hz OLED panel |
| Weight | Approximately 1.4 kg (3.09 lbs); recycled-aluminum lid and deck |

| Wireless | Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax 2×2) + Bluetooth 5.2 (Wi-Fi 6E on newer 14-eh1000 SKUs) |
| Camera | 5 MP webcam with temporal noise reduction — a step above the 1080p webcams common at this price |
| Security | Firmware TPM 2.0, fingerprint reader, camera privacy shutter |
| MSRP at launch | $899 for i5-1335U / 16 GB / 512 GB / 2.2K IPS; $1,099+ for OLED SKU |
The Pavilion Plus 14 ships with a 14.0-inch 2.2K IPS panel at 300 nits in a 16:10 aspect ratio. It is not OLED — that option exists on the 14-eh1000 SKU for roughly $200 more — but at 189 ppi the IPS panel is sharp enough for typical viewing distances. The IPS covers approximately 93% of sRGB with no PWM flicker, which is the boring, important win for long workdays. The 60 Hz refresh rate is a tell that this is not a gaming machine; for productivity it is fine and helps battery life. Two caveats: 300 nits is enough for a sunlit room but not direct sunlight, and the IPS contrast is the typical 1000:1 rather than the deeper blacks an OLED would give you.
The Intel Core i5-1335U is a 10-core (2 P-core + 8 E-core), 12-thread chip with a 15 W base TDP. In sustained workloads it competes with AMD’s Ryzen 5 7530U and trails slightly behind the i7-1355U SKU on multi-threaded work. The dual-channel DDR4-3200 memory (soldered, so 16 GB is the max) gives the integrated Iris Xe enough bandwidth to run office work — browser with 20+ tabs, Office apps, Slack, and Zoom — without breaking a sweat. It will not game beyond light esports at native resolution; the optional RTX 2050 SKU helps but is not a gaming GPU. If you need real graphics performance for content creation, look at a laptop with RTX 4050-class silicon or move to an Apple MacBook Air M2.
The chassis uses recycled aluminum on the lid and keyboard deck, with a plastic bottom. At approximately 1.4 kg it is heavier than an ASUS ZenBook 14 OLED but lighter than a 15-inch mid-ranger, and the lid does not flex the way budget plastic laptops do. The fingerprint reader sits in a small square on the deck. Two things distinguish this laptop from its peers: the 5 MP webcam with temporal noise reduction, which is materially better than the 1080p webcams most sub-1,000-dollar laptops ship with, and the inclusion of a MicroSD card reader on a chassis this thin.
Buy the Pavilion Plus 14 (14-eh0xxx) if: you want a 14-inch laptop with a 2.2K 16:10 panel and a 5 MP webcam in the $800-$1,000 range, you do not need a discrete GPU, and you mostly do office, browser, or school work.
Skip it if: you want OLED at 2.8K (the ZenBook 14 OLED UX3405MA is the same price tier with a better display), you need a discrete GPU for content creation (Acer Swift X 14 with RTX 4050 or Dell Inspiron 16 Plus 7640), or you want a sub-1.4 kg chassis (ASUS ZenBook 14 OLED is lighter).
The HP Pavilion Plus 14 (14-eh0xxx) is a sensible mid-range 14-inch laptop whose real selling point is a 5 MP webcam in a sub-1,000-dollar box. The i5-1335U, 16 GB of dual-channel memory, 512 GB SSD, 2.2K 16:10 panel, and recycled-aluminum chassis cover what an office, school, or general-purpose buyer actually uses day to day. At $899 it is competitive with the Lenovo IdeaPad 5 15 at the spec sheet level. If you spend hours in video calls and want a webcam that does not make you look like you are calling from 2009, this is the mid-range 14-inch to look at.
