[March 2025] Amazon Italy: Top 10 Best-Selling Laptops – HP Dominates with Budget-Friendly HP 250 G9 / 255 G9 Taking the Crown!

The IdeaPad 3 (15", 2022) is an everyday machine. However, it can be equipped with the pretty powerful Ryzen 7 5825U. Now, it's worth mentioning that Lenovo chose not to integrate the latest Ryzen 6000U processors from AMD. Perhaps, the main reason for this is cost.Indeed, the new series of CPUs have amazing integrated graphics cards, part of the RDNA2 architecture. Unfortunately, Lenovo thought it will go bankrupt if it uses this processor for the IdeaPad 3, so it chose the recently updated Ryzen 5000U series.Yes, we may be all critical about that, but we have to keep one thing in mi[...]

You don't need an AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX3D or Intel Core i9-14900HX for just browsing the Web or checking your email. In this case, a non-power-hungry CPU is a much better choice. If you need a laptop for casual daily or office usage, the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 (15″, Gen 8) is one of the possible solutions. It doesn't cost a fortune and it comes with an AMD Ryzen 7000 CPU under the hood. Actually, you can choose between three refreshed Zen 3 Barcelo-U chips. We have tested a lot of laptops with these processors and right off the bat we can say that their efficiency is very good by default.Eve[...]

Most people don't need super powerful and expensive laptops for daily or office usage. Nowadays, even most of the low-end CPUs are just fine for normal work if the notebook has a decent amount of RAM and an SSD. The HP 250 G10 is a typical workhorse. It can be configured with 13th Gen U and P-series processor options. There are some Celerons and Pentiums in the mix but we advise you to avoid them since they have just four cores. Most devices rely on an iGPU but if you need more power for graphics-heavy software, you can opt for the optional NVIDIA GeForce MX550.The machine has a full-sized[...]

Even though Victus is not HP's most affordable gaming brand, it actually presents you with the best offers. And a little something tells us that it won't be only seasonal.In fact, the Victus 15 (15-fb0000) can be your best way to enter the gaming world. In particular, the 15-fb0000 comes with AMD CPUs from the last generation - Ryzen 5 5600H, and Ryzen 7 5800H. This is great, because these processors are still very powerful, and are pretty easy to cool.Graphics-wise, your choices are a bit limited. You won't be able to get anything more powerful than an RTX 3050 Ti. However, even the [...]

Today, we ask the age-old question - how cheap is too cheap? There is a very thin line between cheap and affordable, and we're going to see if the Lenovo V15 Gen 2 is going to provide the value it should.Traditionally, this series brings a huge amount of cost-cutting with itself. Through the years, we've seen plastic builds, slow hardware, and unattractive displays. However, there is something that tells us this year will be different.This little something is called a specs sheet. You can get this laptop with up to the Ryzen 5 5700U, which is an 8-core CPU with multithreading, and a v[...]

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. However, the actual difference in the name is because of the insides - this unit houses AMD processors. Sadly, they are not part of the Ryzen 4000U series, but still, they include the reasonably impressive 3000Us, as well as some Athlon options.In addition [...]

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? Well, it comprises notebooks like the Dell's Vostro 15 3525, Lenovo's V15, or Acer's Aspire 3. 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[...]
