Model: The HP 15-db1011ns is a mid-range 15-inch laptop which is lightweight. A sleek and stylish design makes this eye-catching laptop easy to take anywhere. With its beautiful brushed keyboard and color-matched hinge, the smartly designed HP 15 laptop looks as good as it performs. The laptop is light at only 1.8 kg, which is substantially less than other 15.6-inch that generally exceed 2 kilos. The case is made of plastic, silver on the outside and black inside. The internal fan will allow obtaining adequate temperatures in all conditions of use of the equipment. For hardware specifications, the new AMD Ryzen 5 3500U processor has been chosen, belonging to the medium-high range of the low-consumption AMD Picasso platform. This chip achieves a performance comparable to the Intel Core i5-8265U, being suitable to work with a medium-high level of demand, making it suitable for most of the basic tasks. As for the graphic section, the laptop features a dedicated AMD Radeon Vega 8 that basically serves well to edit images and videos occasionally and also play games at medium detail. The HP 15-db1011ns comes very complete in terms of storage, as we will have a 256 GB M.2 NVMe SSD plus a 1 TB hard drive at 5400 RPM. The 8 GB of DDR4 RAM at 2400 MHz occupy the two sockets of the motherboard. This laptop already comes with Windows 10 Home 64-bit installed.

HP has chosen a 1,920 x 1,080 pixel resolution TN panel with a matte finish for this HP 15-db1011ns, so the definition will be increased, although the angles of vision will remain quite small. The HDMI 1.4 output is what will allow us to connect this equipment to a monitor, TV or projector. Powering the laptop is the 3 cell battery, which has a capacity of 41 Wh and is integrated into the equipment, being able to reach 5 hours of use of the computer with the medium to low screen brightness. It has fast charging which is an advantage. It is able to charge the battery at 50 % in just 45 minutes. As for connectivity, it has two USB 3.0 ports, one USB 2.0 port, a card reader, an HDMI output, an audio input/output as well as an Ethernet port to connect to the internet via cable. It also has essential WiFi connectivity and Bluetooth connectivity. As a conclusion, the HP 15-db1011ns does not stand out in the design section (beyond its reduced weight). However, it is suitable for those who are looking for a laptop with large storage capacity in the lower price range to work with a medium-high level of demand and take some game regardless of the graphic quality.

15.60":

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.
