HP 15S LAPTOP REVIEW
1th Gen Intel Tiger Lake chipset powered laptops are the thing right now. HP joined this trend not too long ago with their HP 15s series. The popular HP 15 series of laptops got the much needed upgrade with the 15s series. There are multiple variants of the laptop at this point. To carry out this detailed review, I went ahead with the one that is powered by the Core i3 11th Gen chipset.
To be specific, this is the HP 15s dy3501TU, which offers 512GB SSD and 8GB of RAM. Additionally, the laptop also runs on Windows 11 OS right out of the box. This is a massive plus, if you want to experience the brand new operating system without having to wait for it to land on your laptop and then update it.
It is not all gold though and like every other laptop, it too has its flaws. However, everything that the laptop offers makes it incline towards what a student would like on his or her machine. The HP 15s has definitely got all of that covered and hence, the title of it being a student’s “best friend”. I do mean it in every sense of the word and now we shall find out why, in detail.
HP 15s Design and Build
The variant I’m reviewing comes in the Natural Silver colour option. First thing I checked for was the flex on the lid. Let me tell you, there was little to no flex there, which is always a good sign. It immediately gave off the excellent build quality of the laptop. Besides, the Natural Silver colour option looks very premium. The minimalistic design with just the HP branding at the center makes the laptop come off as very stylish. The laptop is thin for the most part and that explains its just 1.7 kg weight.
That brings me to the next thing, weight distribution. I was not expecting the laptop to open with one hand but, it did. All of these small but crucial elements added to my understanding of the laptop’s build quality. HP surely did put their nose to the grindstone on that front. The special polycarbonate build of the HP 15s is just really supreme in its class.
At the bottom, there are two rubber grips. These two rubber grips made sure that the laptop did not move from its place when typing. Moreover, the rubber grips are placed in such a way that they allow enough space for proper ventilation through the large horizontal vent at the bottom. Every element in the design compliments the other in an amazing way. All-in-all, I could say that the laptop can easily sustain knocks and bumps. You could even drop it and nothing would happen. Just kidding, please don’t try this at home.
HP 15s Display
Talking about the display, I don’t even want to talk about it. It is really average. Below average even. In 2022, you are getting an HD display. Whereas, other brands like Asus are working towards bringing OLED panels, HP is stuck in days long gone. I did know that the model offered an HD display. However, I did not expect it to be as bad as it looked on paper. Unfortunately, that is indeed the case with this big but dull 15.6-inch display. The HD panel makes the display practically non-enjoyable for pretty much anything else but work.
If you are a student who has a lot of projects and assignments to type down on a daily basis, it will not be an issue. However, if you are getting this to serve your entertainment needs, you may want to reconsider. I’m saying this not just because of the fact that it is an HD panel. To add to this, the viewing angles are not something to praise on the HP 15s.
On the brighter side, you do get an Anti-Glare display and it did offer good visibility outdoors as well. The 250 nits peak brightness is good enough to serve the purpose. Another thing to note here is that the display panel is backed by HP’s BrightView tech. This further enhances the vividness of the display. Colours are not washed out as much as the panel itself is.
HP 15s Performance
The performance of the HP 15s Core i3 11th Gen variant is really impressive, I have to say. I used the laptop for near about four days and faced NO issue with its performance. Opening apps has been fast so has browsing through countless tabs. Multitasking has been super duper satisfying as well because of the laptop’s fluidity. The 512GB SSD coupled with 8GB of RAM clocked at 3200MHz adds to the overall seamlessness of the laptop.
Right out of the box, this affordable offering runs on Windows 11 OS. That is something that I really liked. It cut down on the hassle of waiting for the update and then updating it, big time. However, if you have noticed, I’m mostly talking about your day-to-day multitasking and work-related performance. You can surely game on the laptop. But, just a bit, alright? You don’t want to impose a ton of pressure on the Intel UHD Integrated Graphics Card. There is only so much that it can handle.
I tried playing a bit of Valorant, League of Legends and Fortnite. Valorant and League of Legends ran alright in High settings at 720p. However, Fortnite did not run that well. There were a lot of stutters even at.
