HP 15.6" HD i3-1005G1 8GB 256GB SSD Win 10 laptop

Everyday 15.6-inch laptop for home and study

This 15.6-inch HP notebook ships new with a 10th Gen Intel Core i3-1005G1 processor that runs between 1.20 GHz and 3.40 GHz. It pairs 8 GB of DDR4 memory with a 256 GB solid-state drive and Windows 10 Home in S mode. The HD SVA BrightView panel delivers 1366 x 768 resolution at 220 nits and 45% NTSC coverage in a micro-edge design.

Upgrade from slower mechanical drives

Replacing a hard-drive-only system with this 256 GB SSD cuts boot and application load times dramatically. Moving from 4 GB to 8 GB of DDR4 allows smoother multitasking with browser tabs, office apps and streaming video. The jump is worth it when daily tasks feel sluggish or storage space runs tight on an older machine.

Check S-mode limits and port needs before buying

Windows 10 Home in S mode installs apps only from the Microsoft Store unless you switch out of S mode, which is a one-way change. Verify that your peripherals work with the available ports: one USB-C 3.1, two USB 3.1 Type-A, one HDMI and a multi-format card reader. Wireless connectivity uses 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.2.
