I am unable to find any information on a HP 14- EP00224TU laptop. Are you certain that is correct?

Was there a website that you found it on?

I am not fully familiar with the i3-N305 CPU. 

Here is an article about it.

The processor puts up solid numbers on single core benchmarks, but not so much on multi-core and some kinds of video. I suspect that is because it cannot do dual channel memory. It also cannot have a Thunderbolt port. I think it would be fine for internet and office type work, but would lag terribly on any kind of gaming. I would still suggest going for a "regular" i3 processor at a minimum such as the i3-1315U which is optional on that series.
