The user experience is generally satisfactory, particularly due to its 17.3-inch screen with a HD+ resolution (1600 x 900 pixels), which offers pleasant visual quality for multimedia and work. However, users seeking superior image quality may be disappointed. With a storage capacity of 500 GB on an HDD, this computer allows for the retention of a large amount of data, making it practical for many users. Nevertheless, the absence of USB 3.0 ports may limit the speed of data transfers with modern devices. Connectivity is enhanced by the presence of integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, facilitating wireless connections. However, the RAM of only 4 GB may pose problems when managing multiple applications simultaneously, which can be frustrating for users requiring intensive multitasking. Finally, the design of the HP g7-2201so is supported by sustainability certifications such as EPEAT Silver and ENERGY STAR, demonstrating compliance with environmental standards. However, the lack of modern features like a touchscreen or Thunderbolt ports may restrict its versatility and appeal compared to newer models. Overall, the HP g7-2201so is a solid option for users looking for a reliable laptop for daily tasks, while being aware of its limitations in terms of performance and connectivity.
