Editorial note

The HP G62-a50ET is a laptop that provides a satisfactory user experience thanks to its 15.6-inch screen and LED backlighting, ensuring good visibility. However, the interface may seem basic to some users, and the resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels does not always meet expectations for modern multimedia content. In terms of performance, the Intel® Core™ i3 3rd generation processor allows for smooth use for everyday tasks, although it may show limitations for those with higher needs, such as video editing or gaming. Additionally, the RAM is limited to 4 GB, which can restrict performance when running multiple applications. The nickel-metal hybrid battery technology is reliable, but the lack of clear information on battery life raises doubts about the duration of use between charges. The design, while simple and functional, may seem a bit dated, even though the black and bronze colors give it a modern look. Regarding value for money, the HP G62-a50ET is positioned well for an entry-level laptop. Nevertheless, the limitations in RAM and the absence of USB 3.0 ports may be drawbacks for some users. Ultimately, while the laptop offers comprehensive connectivity features, its use may be restricted due to these limitations.
