HP has dozens of laptops in its lineup right now, but there’s one model that still commands attention because it combines price, performance (Intel N150, 384GB storage, 32GB RAM, Microsoft 365), and daily use practicality. On Amazon, it has collected well over 1,500 reviews with an average rating of 4.5 out of 5 when bought at full price, but now the story is quite different: at a whopping 73% discount, this HP “everyday” laptop costs just $399 compared to its normal price of $1,499. And then on top of that discount, Amazon tosses in some extras straight into the box (wireless mouse, optical drive, 256GB SD card, and 1-Year Office 365) which makes this deal not worth passing up.

What Does $399 Get You?
For starters, you’re getting a reliable machine powered by Intel’s Quad-Core N150 processor which at clock speeds up to 3.4GHz provides smooth performance for day-to-day use. Which is to say, from streaming and surfing to document work and hopping on Zoom calls, everything is responsive. The integrated Intel UHD graphics chip serves up smooth video for casual gaming or just reading content online.
Then toss that in with 32GB of RAM and it becomes even smoother: switching between apps isn’t hung up, and demanding tasks run without forcing you to close programs all the time. Storage capacity will not be a problem either: you’ve got 128GB of UFS onboard, and then there’s a provided 256GB SD card, which brings your storage to a whopping 384GB.
This is where things get very interesting: Microsoft 365 comes with the laptop (you can download it here). You receive a year’s subscription in full (worth $130) and it’s even the AI-powered version with Copilot thrown in. Think of having Word for writing papers or reports, Excel for calculating with pre-formatted formulas, PowerPoint for creating professional-grade presentations, Outlook to sort your email, and even Teams for working online. The Copilot AI feature in Office makes tasks like summarizing papers, writing messages, and scheduling calendars faster and more hands-off.
It doesn’t stop there, though. Aside from Office 365, the laptop package includes a wireless mouse and an optical drive, two easy but useful features that spare you the trouble of rushing to the store for accessories on purchasing day. A DVD drive in 2025 is not standard, but it’s useful if you’ve got old discs with photos, films, or software that you still want to use
On the software side, Windows 11 Pro powers all this and couples clean looks with helpful features like Snap Layouts to keep windows neatly organized on screen. For something portable and lightweight, the 14-inch version fits easily into a backpack and won’t weigh you down. Battery life is also good enough to get you through a day of use without having to be constantly recharged, another plus if you find yourself stuck away from a desk for hours.
Deals at this level don’t usually stick around long when word gets out, make sure you don’t miss it.
