Intel® Optane™ memory system acceleration does not replace or increase the DRAM in your system. Requires 8th Gen or higher Intel® Core™ processor, BIOS version with Intel® Optane™ supported, Windows 10 64-bit, and an Intel® Rapid Storage Technology (Intel® RST) driver.

Here, the result is far from straightforward. Let’s start with the good stuff. First, this laptop is incredibly versatile when it comes to upgradability. It offers both a 2.5-inch slot and an M.2 slot, which itself, fits NVMe and SATA devices. Also, you get up to 32GB of DDR4 memory in dual-channel, depending on the configuration, and some models will feature a Wi-Fi 6 capable WLAN card. So far, so good. Intel® Iris® Xᵉ Graphics capabilities require system to be configured with Intel® Core™ i5 or i7 processors and dual channel memory. Intel® Iris® Xᵉ Graphics with Intel® Core™ i5 or 7 processors and single channel memory will only function as UHD graphics. The term "10/100/1000" or "Gigabit" Ethernet indicates compatibility with IEEE standard 802.3ab for Gigabit Ethernet, and does not connote actual operating speed of 1 Gb/s. For high-speed transmission, connection to a Gigabit Ethernet server and network infrastructure is required. In accordance with the Microsoft Silicon Support Policy, HP does not support or provide drivers for Windows 8 or Windows 7 on products configured with Intel or AMD 7th generation and forward processor Our “Design and Gaming” profile delivers optimal color temperature (6500K) at 140 cd/m2 luminance and sRGB gamma mode.Miracast is a wireless technology your PC can use to project your screen to TVs, projectors, and streaming.

Actual battery Watt-hours (Wh) will vary from design capacity. Battery capacity will naturally decrease with shelf life, time, usage, environment, temperature, system configuration, loaded apps, features, power management settings and other factors. Now, let’s move to the base, where we will start with the speaker grill, which is located above the keyboard. Between them (the grill and the keyboard), there is the Power button, located on the left-most side of the base, right above the “Escape” key. We also consider a small victory the fact that HP hasn’t taken away the SD card slot. Also, they provide a USB Type-C 3.2 (Gen. 1) port to the equation. And although we say goodbye to the optical drive, we think that this had to be done. Integrated graphics depends on processor. NVIDIA® Optimus™ technology requires an Intel processor, plus an NVIDIA® GeForce® discrete graphics configuration and is available on Windows 10 Pro OS. With NVIDIA® Optimus™ technology, full enablement of all discrete graphics video and display features may not be supported on all systems (e.g. OpenGL applications will run on the integrated GPU or the APU as the case may be). day McAfee® LiveSafe™ trial included.

Unsurprisingly, we also got a TN model, which now feels weird in 2021, but it’s good to know that you can still buy an IPS version. If you can spare the money – go for it. Nevertheless, this laptop offers a lot of choices when it comes to configuration. There are AMD versions (branded 255 G8), Celeron and Pentium options from Intel, as well as the flagship Ice Lake and Tiger Lake Core series. On paper, the 250 G8 appears as a budget-friendly laptop with modest hardware. let’s see whether it is worth your money and can uptake the everyday business tasks. Design & Build Unfortunately, performance is not among this laptop’s most prominent features. Although our unit came with the Core i5-1035G1, we found that it underdelivers. However, almost everyone that buys or is interested in buying the HP 250 G8 wants one thing – something good on the budget. Intel® Turbo Boost performance varies depending on hardware, software and overall system configuration. See http://www.intel.com/technology/turboboost/ for more information.

The hardware of HP 250 G8 may vary depending on what model you get. There are more than one iterations available on the market with varying specs. You can get it with either Intel or AMD components.Processor speed denotes maximum performance mode; processors will run at lower speeds in battery optimization mode.

Still, we’ve included other color spaces like the famous DCI-P3 standard used by movie studios, as well as the digital UHD Rec.2020 standard. Rec.2020, however, is still a thing of the future and it’s difficult for today’s displays to cover that well. We’ve also included the so-called Michael Pointer gamut, or Pointer’s gamut, which represents the colors that naturally occur around us every day. The maximum measured brightness is 292 nits (cd/m2) in the middle of the screen and 264 nits (cd/m2) average across the surface with a maximum deviation of 15%. The Correlated Color Temperature on a white screen and at maximum brightness is 6070K (average) – warmer than the 6500K optimum for sRGB. Also, you have Wi-Fi 6 options. Now, we have to mention that HP is completely aware of the market situation, and they will probably sell out this particular device, regardless of what it is. However, we are sincerely hoping it will bring some fresh air in buyers’ faces, instead of just relying on the fact that it’s going to sell out anyway.

By doing this, they managed to drop the weight, compared to last year, and now the laptop stands at 1.74 kg. More impressively, the body is narrowed down both in profile and in footprint. The former is about 2mm thinner than that of the predecessor, and the latter is improved by the far narrower bezels around the display – something that brings this laptop in 2021. The model we have for HP 250 G8 review came with a Full HD TN panel. This is a 15.6-inch screen with a 16:9 aspect ratio and 142ppi of pixel density. With an average screen brightness of 264 nits, this is a good display for business. What is a big no, on the other side, is the touchpad. It’s simply a mediocre unit, that has one of the worst dedicated buttons on the market – they are very resistive and have short travel, which makes them pretty uncomfortable. In this test we use 100% on the CPU cores, monitoring their frequencies and chip temperature. The first column shows a computer’s reaction to a short load (2-10 seconds), the second column simulates a serious task (between 15 and 30 seconds), and the third column is a good indicator of how good the laptop is for long loads such as video rendering. Installing our Health-Guard profile not only eliminates PWM but also reduces the harmful Blue Light emissions while keeping the colors of the screen perceptually accurate. If you’re not familiar with the Blue light, the TL;DR version is – emissions that negatively affect your eyes, skin, and your whole body. You can find more information about that in our dedicated article on Blue Light. Conclusions
