Editorial note

The HP g6-2131so is a laptop that stands out for its Intel® Core™ i5 3rd generation processor, offering optimal performance for everyday use, whether for work or leisure. Its sleek black design and portable format make it easy to carry, making it a practical choice for users on the go. Additionally, its storage capacity of 750 GB on an HDD allows for the backup of a large amount of data, applications, and multimedia files, while ensuring a fast and reliable connection thanks to compatibility with Wi-Fi 802.11n. However, the HP g6-2131so also has some drawbacks. The maximum memory of 8 GB may prove insufficient for users with intensive multitasking or heavy application needs. Furthermore, the screen resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels may seem low compared to current standards, which could disappoint those seeking superior display quality. The lack of USB 3.0 ports and modern connectivity options like Bluetooth also limits connection and fast data transfer options. Finally, the 5400 RPM hard drive may lead to longer loading times, and the absence of a security cable port may pose security issues in public places. Regarding writing scores, the user experience is rated satisfactory with a score of 78, thanks to the processor's performance and design. However, the overall performance is rated at 70 due to the limited memory. The battery life receives a score of 75, reflecting decent performance, while the design is well-rated at 80 for its appeal. The value for money is assessed at 65, due to the lack of modern features. Finally, usability scores 70, highlighting that while ergonomics are adequate, connectivity limitations may restrict the user experience.
