HP 15-inch Laptop:
released the power efficient i5 1035 g1 processor for laptops at the back end of 2019.Today we have the hp 15s fq1003na aimed at the afford ab home does it hit the sweet spot as a general purpose laptopthe hp 15s has a natural s chassis broken by the black display bezel the sides are nicely narrowed to give a compact look and feel. The material is mainly plastic around.
the bezels and keyboard strengthened by metal around the edges top and bottom at this price point the finish. Is surprisingly good little flex on the display and hardly any movement on the keyboard deck it tips the scale at 1.69 kilograms or 3.73 pounds. And 1.79 centimeters thick light enough to easily take between classes or office to boardroom to access the internals peel off the two rubber strips used as feet to reveal the six screws undo these screws along with the two side screws to open the bottom, maintenance cover, excellent upgrade options include two ram slots and a m.2 ssd.
For storage the 41 watt hour battery is also removable, The 15.6 inch ips display has good viewing angles and contrast is excellent. resulting in deep blacks the single hinge goes back 140 degree allowing you to find your optimum viewing angle while working on the laptop. brightness is rated at 250 nits fine for indoor use but you'll struggle in bright. outdoor lighting color gamut is 45 ntsc leaving colors slightly washed out not a laptop for color accurate work on.
The left we have ac power 2 usb 3.1 gen 1 type a ports on the right we have a hdmi 1.4 b. a usb 3.1 gen1 type c data transfer only at five.gigabits per second one headphone microphone combo and a multi-format sd media card reader wireless communication is provided by the realtekrtl8821ce802.11 ac. One times one wifi and bluetooth 4.2 combo card. wi-fi speeds were fine but limited by the one times one. 10i grab a faster external wireless adapter if you need to constantlytransfer files between the laptop and say. nas bluetooth coverage was reliable with the external mouse during testing.
The hp 15s has a full size island style keyboard with numeric keypad. It has a good typing action although a little spongy in feedback when pressing the keys there's no backlit keys but that's expected at this price range.The clip pad with multi-touch gesture support is precise and easy to glide on.Its wide surface area the integrated, buttons are not too noisy either. The dual speakers provide good audio to cover most. media consumption needs although it needs more depth and bass, volume is good if you need to hear your
zoom conference call. The hp truevision hd camera with integrated dual raydigital microphone is poor even for the majority of 720p webcams i've tested if you need decent video quality for your daily teams meeting or homeschooling the kids. buy external webcam if you can the silicon found inside the hp 15s is the power efficient ice lake intel core. i5 1035 g1 with four calls running at a base clock of 1.0 gigahertz with boost to 3.6 gigahertz heavily dependent on, The cooling tdp is rated at 15 watts. This review model has a single 8 gigabit stick of ddr4 memory and a 512 gigabit pcie, nvme m.2 ssd in everyday use the hp 15s. runs smoothly with applications starting rapidly and files opening with no waiting time even heavier applications like adobe, photoshop 2020, and premiere pro are possible. But I would recommend upgrading the memory to 16 gigabytes for benchmark fans the i5 1035 g1 shows a decent performance increase over the older i5 8265u and i7. 10 710u in user benchmark scores the same can be said in, geek bench and 3d mark benchmarks holding its own against the likes of the amd ryzen,3 500u and i510 210u,
even against the mighty amd ryzen 5 4 500u the i5 1035g keeps up a respectable score behind the amd processor considering it has two more calls to play with the fan stays quiet the majority of the time under load the fan comes on but it's not enough to be a distraction, making it possible to use it in a noise sensitive environment the 15s never gets too warm even under load. thanks to thermal management reducing the clock speed down to 1 ,gigahertz the warmest spot is to the right of the laptop. At the top and bottom graphics is handled by the intel uhd g1 graphics with 32 cores compared to the 24 calls on the older workhorse uhd620 gpu benchmark places the uhd graphics g1 below the amd radeon rx vega8, in the ryzen 5 3 500u this gpu is purely for general day-to-day use and low demands the uhd graphics g1 is suitable only for light games and possibly for playing.
some heavier games on the lowest graphics detail settings, however games like apex legends and grounded struggled even in low settings minecraft cs go and overwatch will play happily on the hp 15s.
battery life on the 3-cell 41 watt hour battery is about 6 hours general usage, thanks to the efficient processor under heavy load and max brightness expect around two hours the hp 15s supports fast charge with the 45 watt, smart ac power adapter top up from zero, to 50 in around 45 minutes top three pros and cons before buying the hp 15s fq1003na useful storage it's actually difficult to find a laptop at this price point.
with more than 256 gigabytes in an ssd as it's a consumer laptop this is quite tight storage space therefore it's good to know the 15s is generous at512 gigabytes good build quality the 15s is relatively lightweight at 1.69 kilograms but at this price. it's surprisingly well built no rattles or flexing in the right places affordable with the pandemic it's, been difficult to find an affordable laptop that ticks most boxes the 15s, covers this with a useful processor 8 gigabytes of memory 512 gigabytes of storage and an ips display gpu gripes the uhd graphics g1 is not up to snuff when it comes to playing newer games the 15s is designed for casual light gaming power button led a little annoyance in the design of the power button is why the hp engineers didn't include a light notification when you turn it on probably would have cost pennies to include this more ports please love a small gripe with the 15s is the inclusion of a fourth usb.
port plus why are the two usb type-a ports so close together making it difficult for bigger usb sticks to be used together if you were in the market for a 15.6 inch general budget laptop what other laptops would you be looking at in no particular order here are some to consider hp 255 g7 ryzen 5 zeus m509da ryzen 7.
lenovo v15 core i5honor magic book 15. dell inspiron 15 3000. in the midst of a global its shortage, it's hard to find a decent value for money laptop especially with 512 gigabytes of ssd storage the hp 15s covers all the main points with a useful processor in the i5 1035 g1 8 gigabytes of memory to run windows 10 smoothly good battery life ips display panel and of course apleasant 512 gigabytes ssd drive the lightweight laptop is surprisingly rigid and robustly screwed together.. okay there are a few niggles like the poor color accuracy,
And questionable throttling of the thermal management but overall if you're after a decent laptop for homeworking or light office use the hp 15s is excellent value for money what do you guys think leave your comments and discuss below hope you guys enjoyed the review of the hp 15s..
