The read
What's actually worth knowing.
- The screen has an anti-glare coating and decent brightness at 250 nits, which helps reduce eye strain during long work sessions and makes it usable in moderately lit rooms.
- At 5 pounds with a thin profile, this laptop is reasonably portable for a 15.6-inch model, though it's not ultralight compared to smaller machines.
- The Intel N100 is an entry-level processor, so it handles basic tasks well but won't be suitable for video editing, gaming, or other demanding software.
As of Aug 15, the HP New 15.6 inch Laptop Computer is overpriced at $549.99 — versus a $488.49 typical price and a $369.99 12-month low, based on Amazon's own price history.
