Is your laptop getting slower by the day? Does it take hours to fully charge, then mere minutes for the battery to die? You don’t need another price repair; you just need a laptop upgrade.

Right now, eBay has the slim and undeniably sleek HP 14 (2019) laptop marked down to just $300. That’s 40 percent off and the lowest price on the internet right now.

Originally $500, this Windows 10 laptop features up to 10 hours of battery life on a single charge and a crystal clear 14-inch HD display. It’s also easily portable at just over three pounds, while its powerful Intel Celeron processor makes it a speedy little beast—especially since it’s paired with 4GB of memory and 64GB of onboard storage. This means apps launch faster and your web browser won’t get bogged down, no matter how many tabs you have open at the same time.

And did we mention it’s $200 off?

Storage

If this isn’t enough storage space for you, this HP 14 comes with a whopping 1TB of Microsoft OneDrive cloud storage, as well as one USB-C port and two USB-A ports for additional expandability via external hard drives and flash drives. It also has one HDMI port for connecting to a larger computer monitor and a standard 3.5mm audio jack for headphones, so working from home has never looked and felt so good.

The device even comes with access to Office 365 Personal. This means you’ll have full use of Microsoft Excel, Word, PowerPoint, OneNote, Publisher and Access, Outlook and Skype (up to 60 minutes per month) for free.

Video chats

Speaking of video chats, the HP 14 features an advanced two-microphone system to reduce static and noise. Now Skype and Zoom calls are clear and balanced with high-quality audio—which is ideal for staying connected with friends, family and co-workers while social distancing and self-quarantining at home.

Comparisons

This HP 14 is also more than suitable for work and play for anyone who wants the power and versatility of a Windows 10 machine, but with a low price of a Chromebook—which are wallet-friendly laptops (they generally go for about $200 to $500) that are designed to get you on the internet as quickly as possible.

In fact, this HP 14 laptop is much more usable than any Chromebook—especially for offline use, since the HP 14 doesn’t heavily rely on web-based apps—while Chromebooks need to be online to work to their full potential. This means you can still get a lot of good use and productivity out of it, even without an internet connection.

However, this laptop is on-par with other wallet-friendly Windows 10 laptops like the Lenovo IdeaPad 1 or the Asus L402YA when it comes to design, performance and portability. But the HP 14 has a sleeker design and comes with access to Microsoft’s Office 365 Personal suite of apps.

Meanwhile, this HP 14 is far less expensive than any Apple MacBook—which start at $999. This laptop is for people looking for great performance at a low price point.

Bottom line

At $300, the HP 14 is a fantastic “more bang for your buck” laptop that’s designed for high performance and ease-of-use. We call this laptop an ace in the hole.
