The HP 250G5 is an Intel Core i3 laptop that has a screen size of 15.6 inches. It ships with 4GB of ram and a 500 GB hard drive.
This laptop retails for Kshs. 37,000 in Kenya. Considering the specs, I would consider this machine as a value for money.
Pros.
- The intel core i3 is just what a person needs. If you won’t do any heavy gaming, then this might be the right computer for you.
- More than 4GB Ram is essential for multi-tasking these days. The laptop will perform well when it comes to this sector. Though this can be upgraded later when need arises.
- For the price point, the screen can be considered quality. The resolution is 1366 x 768 pixels.
- At 1.18 kilograms, the laptop is very light. You can easily carry it around for long hours without the weight bothering you.
- The fact that it supports USB type 3.0 is welcomed since you will get faster data transfer speeds.
- The battery can last for a long time than other laptops in the same price category.
Cons
- The screen should have been touch enabled, since the weight is so little, you would have easily converted the laptop to a tablet when the need arises.
- You will get normal speakers with this, no Bang and Olufsen for you.
- With people having many files, documents movies and songs, 500GB has started to become unsatisfying. The laptop should have had at least 1TB of internal storage. The good thing is that you can always buy an external hard drive to store your movies and backup some files.
This laptop is appropriate for light gaming, office work and the browsing the internet.
