Overview

HP builds the Essential as a clamshell notebook with an anti-glare coating, a roomy keyboard and an SD card slot. It runs Windows on an Intel N150 chip with shared graphics.

Low weight and current wireless are the reasons to look at it for students. The storage is UFS flash rather than a standard SSD, and the small memory limits multitasking.

Who it's for

Online learning, web browsing and video calls match the intended use, and the number pad helps with spreadsheets. Gamers, editors and users who want a high resolution display should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Full-size keyboard with number pad
  • Current Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
  • SD card slot
  • Light clamshell body
Cons
  • Low screen resolution
  • UFS storage, not a standard SSD
  • Shared graphics only

Performance notes

The small memory sets the limit on how many apps stay responsive together. The low-power Intel chip handles browsing and documents. Shared graphics use system memory, which leaves less for programs.
