Editorial note

The HP CQ58-279SR is a laptop that stands out for its adequate performance for basic tasks, thanks to its Intel® Pentium B980 processor at 2.4 GHz. With a generous storage capacity of 500 GB, it offers enough space to keep many data and applications, making it an interesting choice for users looking for an affordable machine. Its 15.6-inch screen with a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels provides a decent visual experience, although more demanding users in terms of display quality may be disappointed. Additionally, the high-quality stereo audio system, combined with Altec Lansing speakers, contributes to an immersive sound experience. However, there are some drawbacks to note. The processor, while effective for daily use, may show its limits when running more demanding applications, such as video editing or modern gaming. The 4 GB RAM, although expandable to 8 GB, may not be sufficient for multitasking users, leading to slowdowns. Connectivity is satisfactory, with USB 2.0, HDMI, and Ethernet ports, but the lack of USB 3.0 ports and modern features, such as a touchscreen, may limit its appeal compared to newer models. Furthermore, its weight of 2.45 kg may make transport a bit less convenient for those who travel frequently. In summary, the HP CQ58-279SR is a laptop offering good value for money, ideal for simple tasks and daily use, but it may not meet the expectations of users looking for higher performance or modern features.
