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

HP OmniBook laptops are sleek everyday productivity devices. They feature modern processors, long battery life, and built-in Copilot+ AI capabilities on select models.

Laptop Type

Laptop PCs with Windows operating system are the most common notebook computers, followed by MacBooks and Chromebooks.

The traditional clamshell laptop design, as opposed to 2-in-1 convertibles.

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.

Laptops used for movie watching don’t have to include high-performance components, but they should offer decent screens with wide viewing angles.

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

Besides the traditional 15.6-inch, the 16-inch laptop screen size is among the most popular ones. They both offer a great balance between display size and laptop portability.

Screen Resolution

This screen resolution provides a decent image sharpness and a lot of space on the display for the user interface and programs. It’s similar to the popular Full HD 1920×1080 but a bit taller. These resolutions aren’t as good as the premium-class 4K Ultra HD and similar.

Screen Features

Displays based on IPS technology provide much wider viewing angles than the budget-class TN screens.

Processor

The Intel Core i5-1334U, just like the very similar and slightly faster Intel Core i5-1335U, is a typical mid-range laptop processor. It is an excellent choice for completing the everyday computing tasks easily, without consuming the battery too much.

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.

Check out how the Intel Xe compares to other laptop graphics processors on the chart here.

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.

Keyboard & Touchpad

The keyboard has backlit keys and a separate numeric pad on the right side of the keyboard.

Multimedia & Communication

Stereo Speakers

Modern mobile computers usually have built-in stereo speakers.

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.

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.
