Specifications
| Manufacturer |
HP (Hewlett-Packard) is among the top 3 laptop makers by the world’s marketshare, besides Dell and Lenovo. HP makes the popular Pavilion consumer laptop line, the basic laptops branded as simply HP, the higher-end Spectre and Envy laptops and convertibles, EliteBook and ProBook business laptops, and the Omen gaming notebooks. |
|---|---|
| Series |
The HP Essential notebook series is aimed at budget-conscious users who want an inexpensive yet decently equipped laptop for everyday home and office use. |
| Laptop Type |
Laptop PCs with Windows operating system are the most common notebook computers, followed by MacBooks and Chromebooks. Windows PC laptops offer the widest range of hardware options and price points, giving users more flexibility. The traditional clamshell laptop design, as opposed to 2-in-1 convertibles. Affordable-type laptops usually don’t offer high-end performance and features, but their low regular prices can be appealing. There are many affordable laptop models, but you can save even more money by buying them at discounted prices. |
| Performance |
Laptops with standard performance are those with the widely used mid-range and upper-mid-range processors. They are an excellent choice for daily home and office computing, as well as slightly more demanding tasks like light gaming and light content creation. For hardcore gaming and professional content creation, high-performance laptops are the better fit. |
| Typical Use |
The majority of laptops on the market, including the cheapest ones with basic specs, are suitable for the common everyday tasks like web browsing, emails, or document editing. Having a powerful and power-hungry laptop just to complete these tasks isn’t necessary. Office and productivity laptop tasks typically involve word and spreadsheet processing, presentations, emailing, web research, and multitasking between business applications. Laptops used for studying and online education offer reliable entry-level and mid-range performance, a good battery life, and support for multitasking and communication in a digital learning environment. Web browsing and social media tasks don’t require high-end specs. They can be completed easily on entry-level and mid-range laptops with good network connectivity. Unless you play the latest AAA games for which you need a gaming laptop, lighter games like Minecraft, Roblox, League of Legends, or Sims, you can run decently well on a regular mid-range laptop. For professional content creation such as high-resolution photo and video editing or music production, a laptop with high performance is recommended. However, for occasional light content creation tasks like 1080p video and basic photo editing, mid-range performance is sufficient, too. In both cases, laptops used for visual content creation should have at least decent screens. |
| Screen Size |
15.6-inch is traditionally the most popular laptop screen size by far. But, it is being gradually replaced by the 16″ diagonal. Both 15.6″ and 16″ provide a lot of screen real estate while avoiding the bulkiness of 17.3″ laptops. |
| Screen Resolution |
Full HD (FHD) is the most common laptop screen resolution today. It offers good image sharpness and a decent amount of screen space for the user interface and applications. However, it doesn’t match the visual clarity of top-tier 4K Ultra HD. On the plus side, FHD typically consumes less power than 4K, making it more energy-efficient for everyday use. |
| Screen Features |
Laptops with TN display technology don’t provide wide viewing angles like on IPS or OLED screens, but they tend to be less expensive. |
| Processor |
The AMD Ryzen 5 7520U is a mid-range laptop processor with 4 cores, designed for smooth everyday tasks like web browsing, office work, and streaming. It can boost up to 4.3 GHz, making it a relatively fast CPU, but it is slower than the similar AMD Ryzen 5 7530U. |
| Graphics |
Typical for integrated graphics processors, the AMD Radeon 610M offers basic graphics and game rendering performance. Furthermore, the 610M is weaker than other IGPs like the Radeon 660M from the same family. This means the 610M is suitable only for the lightest games. |
| RAM Size |
The 8GB RAM size is the recommended minimum in 2025. It provides comfortable multi-tasking for the most home and office users. Keep in mind that 8GB may be not enough for some demanding programs and many newer games. |
| Data Storage |
256GB is a decent capacity. If you tend to download and store a lot of large files like movies and install many programs, 512GB or more is a better choice. |
| Keyboard & Touchpad | Non-Backlit Keyboard with Dedicated Number Pad The keyboard has a separate numeric pad on the right side of the keyboard, but it has no keyboard backlight. |
| Multimedia & Communication | Web Camera in 1080p FHD This is a high laptop web camera resolution in comparison to the common 720p. But, 1080p is low in comparison to common resolutions of modern smartphone front cameras. Stereo Speakers Modern mobile computers usually have built-in stereo speakers. Built-in Microphone The laptop has a built-in microphone, which is a common laptop feature just like web cameras. |
| Networking & Wireless | Wi-Fi 6 802.11AX Wireless The 802.11AX is currently the most used Wi-Fi wireless networking standard. It’s also known as Wi-Fi 6. When connected to 802.11AX-compatible routers, the 802.11AX modules in laptops bring improvements over the older standards in terms of data transfer speeds and multi-device connectivity. In some of the latest laptops, 802.11AX is being replaced by newer 802.11BE standard. Bluetooth Bluetooth enables you to wirelessly connect the computer to Bluetooth peripherals like Bluetooth mice and keyboards, as well as to smartphones, and other compatible devices. |
| Ports & Slots | 2 x USB Type A The laptop has a pair of the traditional USB Type A ports. 1 x USB-C The device has a single USB-C port. HDMI HDMI is a widely used digital video output port. You can find corresponding HDMI input ports on most computer monitors and TVs. Combo 3.5mm Audio Jack This laptop has a standard 3.5mm combo audio jack that supports both headphone output and microphone input simultaneously. |
| Battery Capacity | 41 WHr Battery 41 WHr battery capacity is on the lower end of the laptop battery list. It is typically used in budget-class laptops. Nevertheless, it can provide a decent battery life for the regular day-to-day tasks. |
| Weight | 3.6 lbs |
| Thickness | 0.7 inches |
| Operating System |
Windows 11 Home operating system is designed for everyday users who need a fast, intuitive, and connected computing environment. The Pro version is recommended only for select business users that need extra enterprise features. |
| Year of Release |
|
| Laptop Condition |
The brand new laptops, as opposed to open box, refurbished, and used, come sealed straight from the manufacturer. They are untouched and in pristine condition. The brand new laptops typically feature the latest hardware and offer full warranties. |
| Warranty |
A one‑year warranty is the most common period for laptops. Longer warranties, such as three years, are considered extended warranties. |
