Consumer Reports – December 2018

This HP has a low price but handles

basic computing tasks well. Its 1-terabyte

hard drive provides ample storage, the

Intel Core i5 is the processor we’d choose

for most users, and you get 8 gigabytes

of memory. But a solid-state drive would

make this machine faster, and other

laptops have sharper displays.
