Specifications

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.

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.

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

This is an entry-level screen resolution, oftentimes found on budget laptops. It doesn’t deliver picture sharpness and space on the screen like the Full HD or higher resolution laptop displays do.

Screen Features

Touchscreens in modern mobile computers support multi-touch finger input. On select models, they also support active digitizer pens. Touch-enabled laptops come in the standard laptop form with added touchscreen functionality or with 2-in-1 convertible laptop / tablet designs.

Laptops with TN display technology don’t provide wide viewing angles like on IPS or OLED screens, but they tend to be less expensive.

Keyboard & Touchpad
Performance

Laptops with basic computing performance can handle everyday home and office tasks, but the user experience may be less smooth than on typical mid-range models.

Processor

The Intel Core i5-1235U is a laptop processor designed for fast performance while saving battery life. It has ten cores, with two powerful ones for heavy tasks and eight efficient ones for everyday use, helping your laptop run smoothly. The processor has built-in Intel Iris Xe graphics, which helps with videos, streaming, and light gaming without needing a separate graphics card.

Graphics

The Intel Iris Xe or simply Intel Xe graphics of the 11th, 12th and 13th Gen Intel Core processors delivers an improved, yet still basic, 3D gaming performance over the widely used Intel UHD. But, it greatly lags behind the gaming-class GPUs like the Nvidia GeForce GTX / RTX series found in gaming-class laptops. Overall, the Iris Xe is suitable only for light gaming.

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

512GB or larger storage capacity is recommended if you store a lot of large files and install many programs.

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.

Operating System

Windows 11 Home in S Mode is designed for security and performance. It offers a streamlined experience with enhanced protection by only allowing use of apps from the Microsoft Store. S Mode users can upgrade to the standard Windows 11 Home for free.

Deal Type

For price reduction, instant savings deals don’t require any additional steps like applying coupon codes.

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.

Year of Release
