Top 5 hp notebooks

Saving savings, but to go to extremes is not even in the category of "ultrabudget." With reference to the fifth generation of the HP 255 family, the best low-cost HP laptop can be considered the average package bundle of this affordable laptop with an A6 7310 processor at the core, which we represent to you. In terms of price, the difference with the younger model will not be so significant, and you will be able to avoid many reasons for slow work.

A nice feature of the new line is support for relatively fresh specifications of its interface modules. Includes 802.11ac, Gigabit Ethernet, version 4.2 for Bluetooth and SDXC. Given the category - just fine for both home and office. Another "bun" is the presence of two slots for memory strips. Arise such a need and appear financial opportunity - to increase its volume will not be difficult for the most unprepared user. Of the important drawbacks of the device, it is worth mentioning its far from record-breaking autonomy, as well as the very sleek plastic case.

In any case, this is the way “for the home” that the manufacturer positions this line. We will add that this laptop should not be considered as a gaming device. And it's not even a modest diagonal of the screen - the latter just has a great response time and will become a “narrow” place in dynamic scenes. But the backlight in it is implemented without the use of PWM (does not flicker), which most favorably affects eye fatigue. For example, when watching movies in the dark. In other words - we have a good multimedia laptop, suitable for both photo editing and office documents. Not to mention surfing the Internet. If we consider the filling of the device in just this vein, it becomes clear how to use a classic hard disk, and not a solid-state drive. However, upgrading this node is quite simple, which cannot be said about increasing the amount of RAM. To get to the free slot, in Pavilion 14 will have to disassemble the half-body. By the way, after replacing the hard drive with an SSD, it makes sense to set the value of the “Fan always on” parameter (in BIOS) to “no” and thereby obtain a conditionally silent device.

Universal it would be more correct to consider the entire Envy family as a whole. It combines devices of a wide variety of configurations and capabilities, and for the full range there is lacking only laptops with discrete graphics cards. However, the six-series Iris graphic core is a worthy alternative to small and even medium-sized accelerators. Consequently, having chosen the model with the latest generation Intel Core i7 processor (Kaby Lake), you can also rely on quite comfortable gameplay. Of course, with the appropriate graphics quality settings. With all other tasks, including very demanding of computing power, the recommended laptop will cope easily. It makes sense to recall that, until relatively recently, Envy was listed as the flagship line of the company, with all relying bonuses. Fortunately, the loss of the honorary status did not have time to affect the quality of the case and other important nuances, but the price tag of the laptop pleasantly surprised. From our point of view, these are the best universal HP laptops, and the latest Envy 15-as models are the ones that deserve the most attention.

If the purchase of a gaming laptop from HP is decided, but not urgent, we would advise you to wait for the two-hundred series in the wide sale model (with GTX 1050/1060/1070 video cards) or actively search them in popular retail chains. This new product will cost significantly more for the budget, but it will have a good stock of graphics performance for the next couple of years. In principle, the HP Omen 17 GTX 965M accelerator quite successfully cope with high quality settings for almost any modern games. Well, at least with the average. In the same third Witcher, 40-50 fps is maximally achieved. Therefore, we will not recommend specific equipment, but dwell on general points. The display of the gaming laptop from Hewlett Packard has a very high contrast and excellent color reproduction, but the range of its brightness is not wide enough. The keyboard is different original design, but its level of illumination is not adjustable. As for a gaming laptop, the autonomy of Omen is not bad. By the way, there are pickings with both a 62 Wh battery and a battery with half the capacity. Under heavy load, the cooling system is noisy.

Even the “old” flagship transformer HP was good enough, but the Specter x360 of the second generation surpasses it in many ways. It is especially pleasant that the developers managed to solve problems with loops and significantly reduce the weight and size characteristics of the device. Agree, thin and light tablet is much better than thick and heavy. And this despite the fact that the battery life of new items has increased by about a quarter. In sacrifice to the grace of the case had to bring a card reader and HDMI connector. The display has got an ultra-thin frame (on the sides), but there have been no complaints about its quality before. An interesting feature of the hybrid laptop is the presence of four speakers at once. On the one hand, this provides a more powerful and clear sound of the device as a whole, and on the other hand, half of the emitters are always directed in the “right” direction, which mode of operation do not use. The performance of any flagship does not make much sense, and the new Specter x360 is no exception. As a result - a smart transformer, if only it would be worth less.
