After the HP 15 from last year looked like a 5-year old device, the manufacturer has actually improved (or modernized) the design. Not only that but they have made a sport version, as well. At least, this is how we would explain the "s" letter in the 15s moniker.While it doesn't really look sporty, we think it actually looks sleek.

Hot out of the oven comes the HP 255 G9. It is a laptop suitable for the home and the office (or the home office), as it features pretty capable hardware at a price, which is almost unbeatable in its class.But what is its class?

As a rule of thumb, budget-friendly devices require a lot of compromises, especially if you want to get decent-enough hardware.Of course, this is the case here. Knowing that AMD's RDNA2 graphics architecture will make the Ryzen 6000U processors more expensive, HP pic[...]
