HP 250 G7 [250G7 6EC12EA]

Bulk Model

For more than 15 years, HP has been a leader in the manufacture of computer equipment. The company's success in the laptop market is due to the company's ability to cater to the mass consumer without driving up prices. Model HP 250 G7 is an excellent confirmation of this.

Powered by powerful Core i7

This is one of the rare sub-$1,000 laptops that comes with a high-end 8th generation Core i7 processor. It has 4 physical cores and 4 virtual ones, which, when automatically overclocked, reach a frequency of 4.6 GHz. Otherwise, we have a fairly standard 8 GB of DDR4 RAM and a 256 GB SSD. The graphics card was sacrificed in favor of the processor, so instead of discrete video, the simplest integrated graphics core Intel HD 620 is installed here. That is, this is a purely working laptop that is not particularly suitable for games.

No noise and no heat

But such equipment made it extremely quiet and cold even under heavy load. Plus, this is a very energy-efficient option, which has a positive effect on the battery life of the laptop. From 6 to 10.5 hours at base load and average screen brightness is a decent result for this class.

Weight less than 2 kg

The weight of the model is only 1.78 kg with dimensions of 376x246x23 mm. This is one of the lightest models in its class, such a baby will not cause trouble for daily carrying in a bag or backpack. The surface of the case made of matte plastic, according to user reviews, is quite easily soiled, so fingerprints have to be wiped periodically. This can hardly be called a big minus, rather, the oddity is that usually matte plastic does not sin like that.

Without USB-C, but with a DVD burner

All in all, the HP 250 G7 leaves the impression of a reliable but inexpensive laptop, in which the manufacturer tried to cut off excess fat as much as possible. This concerns not the coolest SVA matrix with a modest margin of brightness, the missing graphics card and not the most modern port equipment. For example, USB-C was never delivered. Although for mid-range models, this is still in the order of things. But for some reason they put a DVD burner. Who needs it in the new decade and why didn't they save on it in the first place?
