Review

HP 15 in-depth review

It's clear like night and day that you don't need a high-end or even a mid-range laptop for normal light tasks. A modest 15W CPU is more than enough if it's accompanied by 16GB of RAM and a decent SSD. The HP 15 (15-fc0000) is an inexpensive device that will do the job for people who want to get a notebook on a budget for browsing the Web and and playing light games from time to time. However, you have to pay attention to the specs before buying because the machines with Zen 2 CPUs are tied with up to 16GB of soldered RAM while the ones with Zen 3 chips rely on a pair of SODIMMs which makes them future-proof.You can choose from a plethora of displays including two 768p TN (one of them is a touch unit) and one 1080p TN panel. Avoid them like the plague unless your budget is extremely li[...]

Disassembly, maintenance and upgrade options

Opening the HP 15 (15-fc0000) Hint: Power off the laptop and unplug all peripherals before starting.Undo the four captive Phillips-head screws securing the bottom panel. Use a thin plastic tool to pry the back of the panel. Lift the zones behind the hinge cover near the top edges using a lever tool. Pry the corners, followed by the sides and the front, to fully release the clips.More info: The inside of the bottom panel reveals access to the battery, memory (if available), storage, and cooling system.Battery Removal Caution: Wear gloves to avoid short circu[...]
