Fast and efficient wireless LAN
Where you can work is determined by the portability of your laptop and the reliability of a fast connection. Ensure fast and reliable connection in dense wireless environments with Wi-Fi 6 Gbit speed.
SSD Drive
Without the moving parts of a typical hard drive, solid-state drives are more efficient, reliable, and faster. Boot up in seconds, transfer files without endless waiting, and enjoy a user experience with faster times every time you use your computer.

For the price it was purchased (~360€), it is considered excellent. At the same price, there are similar machines that are comparatively inferior, and this specific one was found after a lot of searching.
It should be noted that the chassis is made of plastic, but that is expected at this price, and the battery does last, but not excessively when usage is above everyday levels, as the machine has higher performance and therefore higher demands. (Also logical.)
In terms of quality, it should be mentioned that the "rubber" feet (two strips of soft plastic) were a bit cheap, as the front one did not even last the first week. It's not something outrageous, but it's a bit disappointing when you get something new. Fortunately, the back one holds up, so it lifts a bit and breathes fresh air.
By the way, it should be noted that the cooling system is what one would expect from a small/thin laptop today, so it heats up when the processor is doing work. The heat is not transferred to the user, since the chassis is plastic and not aluminum, but obviously it is not fully dissipated either. (It has the foolish design of all modern thin laptops, where the dissipation is towards the back, not the side, like in the old ones, and when the screen is open, it stands as an obstacle.)
Given the design, it is recommended to use a stand with or without a fan, so that the intake of clean air located at the bottom is unobstructed and the exhaust located at the back is slightly elevated, so that some air can escape below the screen and not all be directed towards it. This way, the longevity of the processor and the screen is increased.

The outer side of the laptop has swollen and a week after I bought it, it wouldn't open at all. I called since it is still under warranty and you told me what to do, but I couldn't remember the code that guides me. Meanwhile, it started working on its own again. I can't go a month without a laptop because I have work. It should have been replaced immediately since I bought it on 22.2.2024

Did you find this review helpful? For the 350 euros that I spent, I am completely satisfied. The only downside is the battery that only lasts for 1 hour, not more. Also, I think it needs a base with a fan. I mainly bought it for gaming and internet. So far, it plays the games I installed and I consider it a good choice. It depends on how much each person is willing to spend on a laptop. I decided to find one with Ryzen processors, I consider them good... as well as the i3, i4, i5, etc

Did you find this review helpful?- This review is about operating system: Windows 11 Home, colour: Silver
Decent for its price and the usage I intended to do, internet, movies, office tasks, etc... for simple everyday use it is more than enough. I didn't try games, etc. It plays 4K movies online smoothly if you haven't activated battery saving mode. Battery life? I don't think we're reaching 7 hours, especially if you're watching movies... but that's not the feature that would make a difference for me. Sturdy construction, clear sound but not loud. One feature that concerns me is that the vents are on the bottom of the laptop and not on the side (like the older laptops I had), so for continuous and demanding use, it may need to be placed on a stand.

First of all, the color is not Dark Ash Silver, it is just dark. Plain black. I have an HP 255 G8 (Athlon-3150U/4GB/128GB/FHD/W10 Pro) from before and externally it is exactly the same. However, its specifications are as stated.
One weird thing is that it came set in Polish, and I suggest using Google Lens because I don't see you making any progress.
Now, by FAR the most serious problem is that from the second week it started giving me updates that it couldn't install, and it constantly failed at 21%. I tried every troubleshooting method under the sun and not only was the problem not solved, but it got worse over time. Around 1.5 months in, the settings application worked fine, unless you went into the taskbar. It crashed there.
The troubleshooting told me that in order to do anything, the (impossible) updates had to be completed first. Within the two months, as soon as I opened the settings, it crashed immediately. I thought about returning it but I need it for work and waiting would be a problem, so I installed Ubuntu and kept Windows 11 for good and bad.
Now with Linux, it's much better and personally I prefer it 1,000 times more than before, plus it doesn't give me any software problems and it's much safer. If you don't need the machine for gaming, it performs well for office work and light multitasking.
I haven't tested it with games at all, but I don't expect it to have crazy performance.
Overall, if you're not knowledgeable about computers and want to have peace of mind with a reliable machine, look elsewhere. But if you're also tech-savvy (and know Polish) and want something economical with decent power, RAM, and storage, it's a good choice.
P.S. The issue with Windows is also important, but to be honest, the color bothered me more
