Best HP Laptops
HP Spectre X360
This stylish, 13-inch, all-aluminum convertible can go
from laptop to tablet mode, with several stops in between. Boasting a
bright 1080p touch screen (upgradeable to UltraHD), the Spectre x360
also has a large, comfortable keyboard and ClickPad, a Core i5
processor, and a 256GB SSD. It lasts more than 9 hours on a charge and
has some excellent speakers to boot. In all, it's a really good deal.
Looking
for a lightweight laptop that's also light on your wallet? HP's Stream
11 is an eye-catching Windows 8.1 laptop that performs capably, and it
costs just $200. Typing documents and reports is a breeze, thanks to the
comfortable keyboard, and you'll enjoy ample sound, thanks to the
powerful speakers. And with a year's subscription to Office 365 Personal
thrown in, the Stream 11 is a great companion when you're traveling for
work.
HP EliteBook Folio 1020
HP EliteBook Folio 1020
Easily
among the sexiest laptops anywhere, the 12.5-inch Elitebook Folio 1020
runs Windows 8.1. Under the hood sits a powerful Intel Core M chip,
while up top is a fingerprint reader and a cool, pressure-sensitive
touchpad. Its gorgeous quad HD display will leave you glued to your
screen, as you clock hours of watching Netflix or playing casual games.
The EliteBook Folio 1020 can also take a beating, since it complies with
military standards for resistance to heat, cold, dust and drops.
Marking
a return to the gaming notebook arena, the HP Omen was designed to get
your attention. The 15.6-inch laptop lures you with its slim,
lightweight chassis that's sharp and ominous looking. Inside you'll find
some serious power in the form of an Nvidia GeForce GTX 860M graphics
and Intel Core i7. Customizable keyboard backlights and macro buttons
help enhance your fragging performance on the laptop's 1080p display.
For the hard-core gamer, missing this Omen would be the greatest sin.
The
larger of HP's affordable Stream line of Windows 8.1 laptops, the
Stream 13 delivers the same smooth performance in a larger, but still
attractive package. Its fun, bright color scheme will mirror your mood
when you realize this 13-incher costs only $230. We particularly liked
the booming DTS Studio Sound speakers. Plus, as with the Stream 11, you
get a year's free subscription to Office 365 Personal and 1TB of cloud
storage on OneDrive so you can take your work on the go.
As
HP's second go at the Chrome OS, the $299 Chromebook 14 is a success.
For those who mainly use their notebook to surf the Web, watch videos
and send email, this may be all the machine you need. We appreciated the
color options for the exterior (snow white, ocean turquoise and coral
peach), as well as the impressive 7 hours and 57 minutes of battery
life.source
