Chassis, connectors, screen of the HP 17-cp0181nf
With its relatively thin and light Natural Silver design with vertical brushed pattern keyboard frame, this versatile laptop that can be charged to about 50% in 45 minutes sports a sober and elegant look.
The connectivity integrated into this large format laptop is good, consisting of 1 USB-C, Wi-Fi ac and Bluetooth 4.2 wireless modules for remote connections and communications, a convenient HDMI video output to easily connect this computer to a monitor or TV for example, audio and Ethernet ports or 2 USB 3.0 (all compatible with both USB 2.0 and USB 3.0), USB 3.0 guarantees transfers up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 if you plug in USB 3.0 devices.
Fans of videos and more generally of High Definition content will particularly appreciate the screen because it adopts a 16/9th format associated with a precise Full HD definition higher than the 1600×900 standard. Thanks to its IPS technology, the screen also has significant viewing angles, both horizontal and vertical. At this price level, however, it makes sense that the colorimetry is average, lower than that of more high-end IPS panels. In any case with its anti-reflective treatment, the screen is less tiring for the eyes in prolonged use than a shiny slab and more readable in bright environments (eg outside).
Performance, battery life of the HP 17-cp0181nf
The HP 17-cp0181nf is a large-format laptop designed for versatile everyday mobile use.
It delivers good performance in everyday use, such as office automation and Internet surfing, because it embeds a good amount of RAM of 8 GB very appreciable in multitasking associated with an AMD Quad Core processor, the APU (Accelerated Processing Unit) low consumption Lucienne Ryzen 3 5300U.
It incorporates the Radeon Vega 6, a graphics solution that is modest but allows you to watch photos and videos as well as support light games.
The SSD storage clearly reinforces the responsiveness and fluidity of this thin and light laptop on a daily basis. Because it is silent but also less energy-consuming than a hard drive, more robust and especially much faster.
In practice, the SSD guarantees in particular much faster starts/stops and launches of applications as well as processing, but also a faster arrival on the cards of online games for example.
Here we are dealing with a 256 GB SSD able to accommodate light and / or few files / software. But that’s half of what hard drives offer as standard.
However obviously in the event that the space is too fair, we can use an external storage unit such as a USB-C / USB 3.0 device to obtain fast transfers.
As for the autonomy, count on about 5 hours of operation on battery in light use for this relatively thin computer and light for a large format laptop. A 17-inch is certainly not the most easily transportable but has the advantage of being comfortable in the context of a mostly sedentary use (eg at home).
