Chassis, connectors, screen of the HP 15s-eq1080nf
Rechargeable to approximately 50% in 45 minutes, this thin and light laptop in Ebony Black mesh design with a textured finish sports an understated appearance.
The connectivity built into this laptop is good, rivaling that provided by many (much) more expensive models. There is indeed 1 USB-C, Wi-Fi ac and Bluetooth 4.2 modules for wireless remote connections and communications, Ethernet and audio ports, a useful HDMI video output to easily connect this computer to a TV or a monitor for example but also 2 USB 3.0 (compatible both USB 2.0) guaranteeing transfers carried out up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 if USB 3.0 peripherals are connected to it.
The screen adopts a 16: 9 format suitable for video playback as well as a definition of 1366×768, classic characteristics. However, it stands out with its anti-reflective treatment, making it more readable than a shiny panel in a bright environment (eg outdoors).
Performance, battery life of the HP 15s-eq1080nf
The HP 15s-eq1080nf is a 15-inch thin and light 15-inch laptop designed for basic everyday use.
The services it delivers are indeed very modest because it relies on a standard amount of RAM of 4 GB but above all a processor quickly showing itself to be sluggish under software that is a little greedy in processor resources, the AMD 3020e APU (Accelerated Processing Unit) Dual Core low consumption Raven Ridge.
As a result, this thin and light laptop PC is suitable for basic everyday use, such as surfing the Internet and office automation as well as content multitasking.
Obviously at this price level, there is no dedicated onboard graphics card. This discreet black laptop is therefore not designed for games and more generally heavy graphics work.
However, thanks to the modest performance of the Radeon RX Vega 3 graphics part integrated into the AMD Raven Ridge processor, you can watch photos and videos.
In terms of storage, HP has chosen an SSD which has the advantage of significantly increasing responsiveness and fluidity on a daily basis compared to a hard drive.
The SSD supports the heart of this computer well, guaranteeing, for example, application launches and starts / stops much faster than with a simple hard drive.
Compared to the latter, remember that an SSD is much faster but also less energy, more resistant to shocks and silent.
On the other hand, the capacity of the integrated SSD – 128 GB – is significantly lower than what hard disks offer as standard.
This may be sufficient for moderate use where few applications are installed and few heavy files stored. But if you need additional space, you can obviously rely on an external storage unit.
Favoring a USB-C / USB 3.0 device then represents an interesting option for obtaining fast transfers.
As for battery life, expect about 5 hours of battery operation in light use for this sober laptop whose thinness and controlled weight facilitate transport.
