Top 3 HP Laptops 2015
Top 3 HP Laptops 2015
We adore HP for its shiny designed
laptops that provide easy keyboards and touchpads. The company’s wide variety
ranges from 11-inch variable to big-screen multimedia systems, offering
something for any budget or use. Coming in fourth in our laptop-maker showdown
last year, HP upped the ante by adding ground-breaking touches to some of its
devices, including a 3D-motion controller and a new creative touchpad design.
Tempted by HP’s options but don’t know which one to choose? To help narrow your
options, these are the five best HP laptops available.
1. 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.
HP Stream 11
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.
3. 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.

4. HP Omen
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.
5. HP Stream 13
The larger of HP's reasonably
priced 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 mostly 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.
6. HP Chromebook 14
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 the entire 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.
