Editorial note

The HP CQ58-279ER is a laptop that stands out for its sleek black design and comprehensive connectivity, offering good value for money for users with basic needs. With an Intel® Pentium B980 dual-core processor, this device allows for smooth use for everyday tasks, although it may be limited for more resource-intensive applications, such as modern gaming or video editing. The 15.6-inch screen with a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels ensures a pleasant visual experience, but may not meet the expectations of users looking for superior display quality for graphic work or movie watching. Additionally, the 4 GB internal memory, while sufficient for regular use, may prove inadequate for smooth multitasking and may require an upgrade for users of recent software. The nickel-metal hybrid (NiMH) battery technology with 6 cells provides reasonable battery life, although no specific data is provided on this subject. However, the weight of 2450 g may be a hindrance to portability for those seeking a lightweight laptop to carry. In terms of connectivity, the lack of USB 3.0 ports may also limit data transfer speeds, an aspect to consider for users needing to regularly transfer large files. In summary, the HP CQ58-279ER is a solid choice for users looking for a reliable laptop for basic tasks, but those seeking superior performance or better display quality may need to explore other options.
