Editorial note

The HP G62-a50EV stands out with its Intel® Core™ i3 processor and 4 GB of RAM, providing a satisfactory user experience for everyday tasks such as web browsing, word processing, or consuming multimedia content. However, the memory limit may hinder performance when running more demanding applications or engaging in intensive multitasking. On the connectivity side, the laptop is equipped with modern features like Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, making it easy to connect with other devices. Nevertheless, the lack of USB 3.0 ports and recent interfaces, such as Thunderbolt, could restrict data transfer speeds and connectivity options. The 15.6-inch screen, while offering a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels, may disappoint demanding users, especially for watching multimedia content, as it is relatively low by current standards. The LED backlighting is a plus, but the display quality could be improved. Regarding battery life, the nickel-metal hybrid battery ensures a good usage duration, allowing users to work without frequent recharging. However, this technology may not compete with modern lithium-ion batteries in terms of longevity. Finally, although the design is functional, the weight of 2200 g may make the laptop less practical for mobile use. The HP G62-a50EV represents a fair value for money, but it would be better suited for users with basic computing needs rather than those seeking high performance.
