Model:
In just a few words, the HP 15-ba048ng model is all about striving for the perfect combination of design, reliability and features without the need of breaking bank. It’s a fairly affordable notebook with big aspirations for style and productivity. Measuring 38.43 x 25.46 x 2.43cm and weighing 2.04kg, it may not be the most portable machine out there for today’s standards, but it is still light enough to lug around. It is not thinner than its main competitors, and this is due to the fact that while other manufacturers have ditched the optical drive, HP still includes it in the HP 15. The body is an attractive chassis made of plastic with diamond-textured pattern that gives good grip without being a smudge magnet. The lid showcases HP’s logo emblazoned in black on silver, and opening the lid unveils a silver deck with soft crosshatch design. The HP 15 features a 15.6-inch full HD screen with resolution of 1920x1080 and is LED-backlit, surrounded by a thick black bezel. The display is sharp enough to give ample viewing pleasure for movies and photos from most angles. The screen has SVA anti-glare to reduce eye fatigue. And while it does not support touch, depending on a particular user’s needs it may not be such a huge deal breaker. Besides, a touch screen will only serve to drive up the price of the notebook.
Encased at the heart of the machine is an AMD Quad-Core A10-9600P chip processor that has a clock speed of 2.4 GHz. Paired with 8GB of RAM and AMD Radeon R5 Graphics card, the HP 15 is guaranteed to perform competently without any noticeable lag when running the latest games on at least medium settings or low settings with high FPS. The 256GB SSD also supplies enough storage capacity for the average user. For the keyboard, the HP 15 includes a full-size island-style keyboard with integrated numeric keypad, a must have for number crunchers. The individual buttons provide satisfying click and pleasant soft feel but they do not come with back-lighting. The spacious touchpad comes with multi-touch gesture support, providing smooth experience without any problems. The HP 15 also comes with an abundance of connectivity options, including one SD media card reader, a HDMI port, two USB 2.0 ports, a USB 3.1 port, and an Ethernet port. The laptop also uses a removable 41 Wh Li-ion battery that comes as 4 cells, supplying above-average battery life for a device at its price range. The HP 15-ba048ng is a perfect example of functionality over looks. Its basic looks is actually good enough for the average user.
