| Manufacturer |
HP (Hewlett-Packard) is among the top 3 laptop makers by the world’s market share, besides Dell and Lenovo. HP makes affordable laptops branded simply as HP or HP Essential, the popular OmniBook mainstream consumer laptop and 2-in-1 convertible line, EliteBook and ProBook business laptops, and Omen gaming notebooks. |
|---|---|
| Series |
The HP Essential notebook series, or simply named “HP Laptop”, is aimed at budget-conscious users who want an inexpensive yet decently equipped computer 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 is considered to be the standard one, 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 |
Even the cheapest laptops with basic specs, besides smoother running mid-rangers, 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. Studying, Schoolwork and Online Education Laptops optimal for studying, schoolwork, 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. |
| 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 for creative use and note taking. Touch-enabled laptops come in the standard laptop form with added touchscreen functionality or with 2-in-1 convertible laptop / tablet designs. Read more about pros and cons of touchscreen laptops. Laptops with TN display technology don’t provide wide viewing angles like on IPS 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 laptop computers. It provides comfortable multi-tasking for the most home and office users, but 16GB is becoming the new standard in 2026. Keep in mind that 8GB may be not enough for some heavier multi-tasking, 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 | Keyboard with Dedicated Number Pad These keyboards have a separate numeric pad on the right side. This is ideal for those who type numbers a lot, but it is also useful in some games. |
| Multimedia & Communication | Web Camera The built-in web camera enables video conferencing. 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 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 to enable support for all Windows programs free of charge, so you don’t have to avoid S Mode laptops. |
| Year of Release |
Although not being the latest generation, laptops released in 2024 don’t lag behind much in terms of features and daily computing performance in comparison to their new counterparts. |
| Laptop Condition |
The brand new laptops, as opposed to refurbished, 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. |





The laptop provides reliable lower-mid-range performance that’s more than enough for the daily computing tasks. However, the TN screen isn’t good for movie watching or design tasks due to narrow viewing angles and subpar color accuracy and contrast. If you do these, consider a laptop with an IPS screen.
We haven’t included webcam resolution in the specs, because the official specs of the fc0000 series the 15-fc0025dx belongs to list a Full HD webcam, while the product page on Amazon says it’s 720p.
