Editorial note

The HP CQ58-120ST is a laptop that offers a satisfying user experience thanks to its 15.6-inch screen and an intuitive interface. However, the lack of a touchscreen may be perceived as a lack of modernity by some users. In terms of performance, the Intel Pentium B970 processor at 2.3 GHz ensures smoothness for everyday tasks, but it may show its limits when running demanding applications like video editing or modern games. Advanced users might therefore find this configuration insufficient. Regarding battery life, the 6-cell NiMH battery offers remarkable performance, allowing for prolonged use without interruption. Additionally, the 640 GB hard drive storage capacity meets the needs of most users in terms of data backup and applications. However, connectivity has some limitations, notably the absence of USB 3.0 ports, which reduces data transfer speeds compared to current standards. The design, while classic and functional, suffers from a screen resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels, which can affect display quality, especially for multimedia content. In terms of value for money, the HP CQ58-120ST is favorably positioned, although it may not be suitable for those seeking superior performance. Overall, this laptop is a solid option for casual users looking for a reliable and efficient device.
