Editorial note

The HP g6-2217so is a laptop that offers a decent user experience, thanks to its 15.6-inch screen and Altec Lansing stereo audio system. However, the resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels may not satisfy users who demand high display quality. In terms of performance, the Intel® Core™ i5 3rd generation processor provides acceptable performance for everyday tasks, but it may seem a bit outdated compared to newer models. The 750 GB storage capacity is a plus, but the maximum internal memory of 8 GB and the 5400 RPM hard drive may limit system responsiveness, especially for users with intensive multitasking needs. The black and modern design of the HP g6-2217so is nice, but its weight of 2480 g can make the device less portable. Although it offers good value for money, the lack of USB 3.0 ports and the absence of a touchscreen may restrict the user experience. Overall, the HP g6-2217so is suitable for those looking for a laptop for basic tasks, while acknowledging that it does not meet the performance and connectivity standards of newer models.
