Editorial note

The HP g6-2104sg is a laptop that stands out for its solid performance, thanks to its Intel® Core™ i7-3612QM processor with 4 cores and 8 threads. This allows for smooth use for multitasking and demanding applications. The user experience is enhanced by a 15.6-inch LED-backlit display, providing good visibility, although the resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels may seem outdated for some users. In terms of design, the model features a sleek black finish, but its weight of 2480 g may pose challenges for those looking for a easily portable device. The internal memory of 8 GB is adequate for standard use, but it may be insufficient for users with higher multitasking needs. Connectivity is satisfactory thanks to Wi-Fi 802.11n, but the lack of USB 3.0 ports and Bluetooth limits connection options with modern peripherals. Additionally, the 750 GB hard drive at 5400 RPM offers generous storage space, although its performance is inferior to that of contemporary SSDs. In terms of battery life, the NiMH hybrid battery technology ensures decent performance, but the lack of specifications on maximum battery life could be a drawback for users who are often on the go. Overall, the HP g6-2104sg offers reasonable value for money, especially considering its performance, but it has limitations in terms of connectivity and data access speed.
