Manual of product g7-2230ew
Editorial note
The HP g7-2230ew is a laptop that stands out for several notable advantages. Its Intel® Core™ i5-3210M processor, with a frequency of 2.5 GHz and capable of reaching 3.1 GHz in Turbo mode, offers solid performance for multitasking and everyday applications. Additionally, its large 17.3-inch screen with a HD+ resolution (1600 x 900 pixels) provides a pleasant visual experience, ideal for work and entertainment. The generous storage capacity of 1000 Go is a considerable asset for those who need to keep large amounts of data. In terms of connectivity, the HP g7-2230ew is well-equipped with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and several ports, including HDMI and VGA, thus facilitating connections with various devices. However, this model also has some drawbacks. Its relatively high weight of 2980 g can pose portability issues for users on the go. Furthermore, although the screen is a good size, its resolution is lower than that of many competing models that offer Full HD screens. The maximum memory of 8 Go may prove insufficient for users with more demanding performance needs. The absence of USB 3.2 ports and other modern connectivity options, such as Thunderbolt, also limits expansion possibilities and fast transfers. Finally, the 5400 RPM hard drive, while sufficient for everyday use, is less performant than modern SSDs, which can affect boot speed and application loading times. Overall, the HP g7-2230ew offers good value for money, with adequate performance for everyday tasks and a sleek design. However, users should consider its weight and limitations in terms of memory and connectivity before making their choice.Score details
