Reviews for the HP 250 G5 SP X0N33EA
Generation change. Higher processing performance, finally a Full HD display and a faster storage device turn HP's new notebook into a true office all-rounder. Despite these new features, the laptop has also inherited disadvantageous properties.

The HP 250 series is laptop made for home users and students. The series ultimately offers good performing laptops in a basic chassis for an affordable price. The HP 250 G5 SP X0N33EA is the 5th generation of the HP 250 series laptop featuring higher performance hardware than its predecessor. Similar to the previous generation of the laptops, the HP 250 G5 SP X0N33EA features a full plastic chassis. The lid of the laptop is silver in colour and features a lined texture. Despite being a full plastic chassis, the HP 250 G5 SP X0N33EA has a brushed aluminium look around the keyboard as an effort to make it looking more premium. With its decent design, the laptop looks mostly simple and plain. The laptop weighs at 2.104kg (74.22 oz / 4.64 pounds) and measures at 24 x 384 x 255 mm (0.94 x 15.12 x 10.04 in).
HP 250 G5 SP X0N33EA features an Intel Core i5 processor with 8GB of RAM and a 256 GB solid state drive. The processor can clock up to 2.7 GHz for a short time with Intel Turbo Boost technology. This setup comes with the integrated Intel graphics, which isn't enough for any kind of proper gaming, further solidifying its main purpose. As for the display, it features a 15.6 inch 16:9 Full HD TN panel display with a pixel density of 141 PPI. The display is a matte display which does not capture fingerprints and reflect as much environmental lighting as a glossy panel. However, the TN panel doesn't offer good contrast ratio and lacks in brightness.
The Intel Skylake-U/Y PCH audio adapter connected to the stereo speaker delivers high definition audio, making it suitable for media playback. Sound produced by these speakers is clear and crisp with good bass, at least good enough for a basic laptop. Besides that, it has a VGA webcam capable of capturing at a resolution of 640 x 480 pixel. The laptop also features an HP DVD-RW DU8A6SH optical drive which provides convenience in reading or writing discs on the go. Many laptops on the market does not offer optical drive as an effort to make the laptop slimmer and thinner, so this is an advantage.
The battery of the laptop is a 41 Wh Lithium-Ion removable 4 cells battery which isn't much. It will last for about 4 hours with normal usage. The HP 250 G5 SP X0N33EA is a great laptop for a typical user who requires a budget-friendly laptop with proper processing power. It does this right by eliminating other unneeded features and a fancy body. Among its rivals are the Dell Inspiron 15 and the Asus TP501U. Both of them offer almost similar specs and price but might look slightly better.
