Performance, autonomy of the HP 17-ca1025nf

The HP 17-ca1025nf is a large format laptop for everyday versatile use.

It stands out for its SSD storage. It competes with hard drives in terms of capacity thanks to its 512 GB while being silent, more energy efficient, more impact resistant and much faster.

Result thanks to the SSD, this PC is much more fluid and responsive on a daily basis than if it were equipped with a simple hard drive. So we get for example much faster start / stop and software launches.

The SSD goes well with the heart of this computer. It includes an AMD APU (Accelerated Processing Unit) Quad Core low power Ryzen 5 3500U Picasso processor (close to an Intel Core i5) delivering good general performance capable of satisfying many users.
However here the Ryzen 5 is associated with a standard amount of RAM of 4 GB which shows its limits in multitasking. To be more comfortable in this area, however, there is the possibility of adding a RAM module to the free slot.

Since it does not have a dedicated graphics card, you would think that this PC simply allows you to view photos and videos. But that\’s not counting the benefits of the Radeon Vega 8 integrated into the Picasso, significantly superior to those of the UHD 620 from Intel processors. The Vega 8 is positioned at the level of an entry-level graphics card. It is therefore capable of running games that require little graphics resources.

As for the autonomy of this computer whose large format is comfortable for a mainly sedentary use (ex: at home) and whose weight contained for a 17 inch nevertheless facilitates transport, bet on about 5 hours of battery operation in light use.
