HP 255 G8 laptop Ryzen 5 5500U 8GB 1TB PCIe SSD 15.6" Full HD Dark Ash Silver

Ready for work and study

The HP 255 G8 arrives new in Dark Ash Silver with a 15.6 inch IPS display showing 1920 x 1080 resolution at 60 Hz. A Ryzen 5 5500U processor runs at 2.10 GHz base with a 4 GHz turbo across six cores and twelve threads. Integrated Radeon graphics, 8 GB of DDR4 memory and a 1 TB PCIe NVMe SSD handle everyday productivity and light multitasking. Windows 10 Home 64-bit is pre-installed.

Ports and connectivity covered

HDMI output connects an external monitor while USB 3.2 Type-C and an SD card reader handle peripherals and media. Gigabit Ethernet via RJ-45, 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.2 provide wired and wireless options. A 720p webcam and combo audio jack support video calls. The 45 W adapter charges the 3-cell 41 WHr battery inside the 14.10 x 9.53 x 0.88 inch chassis.

Sustained office workloads

The six-core CPU maintains its turbo frequency during extended document editing, web browsing and video playback thanks to the integrated thermal design. Integrated graphics share system memory, so heavy 3D rendering or modern gaming will throttle quickly. The 1 TB NVMe drive keeps boot and application load times consistent. Buyers needing discrete GPU performance or user-upgradeable memory should consider other form factors.
