HP 255 G10 Laptop for Home or Work, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD, 15.6" Full HD, Ryzen 3 7330U (Beat Intel i5-1135G7), HDMI, USB-C, Windows 11 Pro, Business and Fun Ready

I have had zero battery issues, I have received it a couple of hours ago, which were spent removing bloatware, unwanted apps, and uploading my stuff. Battery issues still half full.The keyboard texture is uncomfortable to me ( feel grainy). The “on” button is randomly placed. My last HP was silver with a silver and extra smooth keyboard, and the keys were slippery and hard to see. Looks like they over corrected the issues (my first HP was great).The biggest issue is the trackpad. It is sluggish, sometimes unresponsive, and the cursor disappears. My wrist and forearms are aching from the effort of setting up this laptop. Get yourself a mouse.

It’s perfect for what I need and I would recommend it to anyone that just needs a basic computer to do work on the Internet

At this price point, performance and build would be comparable to the $1000 - $1200 units we use at work, might even be better.so far, I love it.

Good value. I purchased this model: (HP 255 G10 Laptop, Ryzen 3 7330U, 15.6", 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD with Windows 11 Pro) from the seller Chromebook Prosale via Amazon for $399 in December of 2024.I had to return the first one because it had a RAM error. Every other time I started it, the Caps Lock LED would blink (3 long and two short). According to the documentation, that meant a RAM issue. Might have just needed a cleaning or the RAM was installed improperly. (more on that later.) I'll never know because I didn't want to void the warranty. So I sent it back and the seller promptly sent a new one. No errors on that one. YAY!Booted it up and it indeed had no errors, recognized all hardware, and had Windows 11 Pro installed. All good. Pretty quick. WiFi has typical range. There are two USB ports, one HDMI port, and one 1/8" audio jack. Battery holds a charge like a champ. No security port. However, I'm pretty satisfied with this laptop.Being satisfied, I then voided the warranty and opened the system to take a look. (I don't recommend this for the casual user because, though I'm not sure, I think it will void your warranty - if they find out that is!)Now the interesting part:TLDR: Be careful when buying from third-party sellers. You might save money, but you never know where the laptop has been or whose grubby paws were inside it!See attached image of the RAM. Note that only one stick is covered with a sticker. This leads me to believe that HP built this laptop with 8 GB of RAM (1 stick) originally. I can't prove it, but I think that the seller (or another intermediary) installed the 2nd stick of RAM to bring it up to 16 GB. Three clues led me to this deduction (which is guesswork): 1 - the lack of a sticker. That's weak sauce, and HP QA would probably not let that pass before leaving the manufacturer. 2. One of the panel's front corners was slightly lifted off two of the clips, as if the person who closed the panel (after installing the RAM) didn't finish the job properly. Made it easier for me to pop the panel though! 3. The first laptop I received had that RAM issue I mentioned. That would probably not pass QA at an HP manufacturing plant either. Standard procedure is to have a system booted at least three times.Am I happy with my assumption? No. But I'll deal with it after inspecting the RAM installed and comparing it with the first 8 GB stick. The laptop looks clean and I inspected Windows 11 as well for any "weirdness" or inappropriate programs.That said, would I purchase this again or recommend it. Only if a person's sole criteria for buying was price. Generally, I recommend buying laptops from the manufacturer directly.

This is a good and fast computer. Very easy to set up. This one replaced my 2018 model and it was a huge improvement. I used to turn my old one on and go do something while it booted up. Not this one! It was a great price as well. Very happy with it!

Light weight, been nice if protective case came with it. It is serving the purpose for now

It was the PC that they had on the website. The laptop came in a timely fashion and was well packed.

Although the case texture is strange and attracts and INSANE amount of grease from my fingers alone (I don't eat and use my computers for context), it runs so much smoother than my previous laptop I'm replacing it with. Previously, last week, I attempted to buy a computer with 16GB RAM and 64GB SSD and it ran slower than my initial laptop. I think 1TB SSD should be close to standard for any computer based on the size of programs nowadays.
