Editorial note

The HP g7-2228sg is a laptop that stands out for its optimal performance thanks to its Intel® Core™ i7-3632QM quad-core processor, ensuring smooth execution of multiple tasks simultaneously. Its 17.3-inch screen with a HD+ resolution of 1600 x 900 pixels provides a pleasant visual experience, ideal for multimedia and work. Additionally, its generous storage capacity of 1000 GB on HDD allows for the retention of a large amount of data and applications. However, there are some drawbacks to consider. The product does not support Bluetooth technology, limiting wireless connectivity options with other devices. Furthermore, although the screen is large, its resolution may not satisfy users seeking a high-definition visual experience. The hard drive speed of 5400 RPM may also lead to slower loading times, affecting the responsiveness of the computer. Finally, the maximum internal memory of 8 GB restricts expansion for those wishing to run heavy applications or multitask. In terms of audio, the built-in Altec Lansing stereo technology ensures immersive sound quality for movies, music, and games. The functional design of the computer, with HDMI and VGA ports, facilitates connection to various peripherals, although it lacks USB 3.0 ports. In summary, the HP g7-2228sg offers good value for money, but users should be aware of its limitations, particularly regarding connectivity and storage speed.
