HP Notebook 15

The top and bottom of HP 15s DU1520TU, as well as the edges, are made of a metallic look, and the areas around the keyboard and display are made of a more affordable-looking plastic. The transitions between the materials are even, but they are very visible. The manufacturer forgoes extremely slim bezels to some extent, making the bezel above the display slightly thicker. However, this also means that the webcam does not need to wander to some more exotic place. The lid opening angle is limited to about 140°, and the hinges hold the lid tightly in place.

Processor

The HP 15s DU1520TU is equipped with the Intel Celeron N4020 is a slow dual-core processor (SoC) of the Gemini Lake Refresh product family; as such, it is designed for use in laptops and mini-PCs of the most affordable flavor. The Celeron was launched in Q4 of 2019. Its CPU cores run at 1.1 GHz to 2.8 GHz, the latter being a moderate 200 MHz upgrade over the preceding N4000 chip. Other key specs include a DDR4/LPDDR4 memory controller (up to 2,400 MHz and up to 8 GB, with independent reports claiming as much as 32 GB will work just fine) and the integrated UHD Graphics 600 graphics adapter.

Keyboard

The keyboard of the HP 15s gives a slightly spongy impression and the keys do not sit tightly in their frames. However, the rough surface offers a good purchase to the fingers, and even longer typing tasks are handled surprisingly well. There is also a number block and Delete and Home keys are available as primary keys.

Touchpad

A Click-Pad is used as a mouse replacement. It offers a smooth surface, allowing you to navigate the cursor precisely. Mouse clicks are also triggered reliably, and mechanical input offers clear feedback.

Audio

The speakers of the HP NOTEBOOK 15 offer a fairly wide sound spectrum. While this allows you to easily play media content in quiet surroundings, you should prefer external speakers or headphones for longer sessions. Those can be connected to the combined 3.5-mm audio port, which accepts plugs tightly and does not negatively influence the sound quality.

Battery

On the Laptop Mag Battery Test, which involves continuously surfing the web over Wi-Fi at 100 nits of brightness, the Notebook 15 lasted 5 hours and 51 minutes.

Verdict

The HP NOTEBOOK 15 does what it should do, and the usual office applications, browsing the Internet, and consumption of media content do not pose any problem. We like the design, and the workmanship is also solid. A battery life of almost six hours should also be enough for most users.
