HP 250 G9 review - An affordable office laptop with a Core i3 and an IPS panel
With the 250 series, HP is offering a reasonably-priced 15.6-inch office computer which is available for around $390, depending on the model. Our review device carries the model number HP 250 G9 7N029ES and comes with a 12th generation Core i3 processor together with 8 GB of RAM, a 512 GB NVMe SSD as well as a matte 1080p IPS panel. With its Core i3 processor, the laptop sets itself apart from other devices in this price range since they are often only equipped with either Celeron or Pentium chips.

Case & features
The HP 250 G9's case is made completely of dark gray plastic with a light texture. Compared to smooth surfaces, this helps combat fingerprints but the surface haptics are anything but premium. The base unit's stability is perfectly adequate and even though the middle of the keyboard gives slightly when pressure is applied, creaking noises are nowhere to be heard. The lid is somewhat more flexible and we were able to bring about image distortions. However, this shouldn't be a problem in everyday use. What is annoying is the low opening angle of a maximum of ~125 degrees. The hinges are well-adjusted but are unable to prevent slight wobbling. The build quality is solid and we didn't observe any problems therewith.
The base case cover can be removed but not before taking off the glued rubber feet which conceal a total of four screws. Internally, you get access to two SO DIMM slots, the M.2 2280 SSD, the Wi-Fi module, as well as the fan. The battery is screwed in place and is also swappable.
In terms of the ports, the most important standards such as USB-A and USB-C are covered, however, you'll have to make do without either USB4 or Thunderbolt. In practice, it's annoying that the laptop cannot be charged via USB-C. The Wi-Fi module only supports WLAN 5 (802.11ac) at a maximum of 866 MBit/s (1x1) and the transfer speeds in our Wi-Fi test were as low as you would expect. For normal web activities, this is still sufficient for most use cases. Basically, the 720p webcam fulfils its purpose but the image quality is not great.

Input devices - No keyboard lighting
The large black keyboard offers a full-sized numerical keypad that comes with large, easy-to-read white lettering. The typing feeling is average because the key travel is limited and appears rather rickety. On top of that, key presses are sometimes quite loud and this is not only exclusive to the bigger keys such as the space bar. Keyboard backlighting is not on board.
Not dealing with a clickpad makes the touchpad seem quite old-fashioned. Instead, there are two dedicated mouse keys which, of course, noticeably limits the amount of space available for the touchpad itself. But, swiping motions are translated well and we didn't observe any functional problems. Nevertheless, both of the mouse keys are rather stiff and produce very loud clicking noises, making them appear cheap in the process.
Display - A matte IPS panel
HP uses a Chi Mei matte IPS display for its 250 G9. It offers 1,920 x 1,080 pixels (Full HD, 60 Hz), a 16:9 aspect ratio and the subjective image quality is good since bright areas don't appear grainy. Despite this, the colors are not particularly vibrant and it's easy to tell we are dealing with a budget IPS panel. Although light bleed is also present in darker areas, PWM is absent and the response times are inconspicuous.
HP advertizes a brightness of 250 cd/m² and this is something we can confirm after measuring an average of 257 cd/m². Despite the low brightness, the maximum contrast ratio of ~1,700:1 thanks to the low black levels (0.16 cd/m²). Indoors, the brightness should be sufficient in most use cases, even though this will probably have to be set to maximum. In battery mode, the brightness is not reduced.

* ... smaller is better
In our analysis with the professional CalMAN software, out-of-the-box, the panel displayed a slight blue tint together with a cool color temperature. Additionally, there are significant gray scale and (especially) color deviations. We were able to get the gray scale and color tint under control with our calibration (the profile above can be downloaded free of charge) but the high color deviations remained. From both this and the low color space coverage, you can once again see that we are dealing with a low-end IPS panel. This means it is not suitable for photo or video editing.

The screen shows good response rates in our tests, but may be too slow for competitive gamers. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 43 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is similar to the average of all tested devices (21 ms). | ||

The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.165 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 38 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is similar to the average of all tested devices (33 ms). |

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 17146 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured. |
In principle, the matte panel has its advantages outdoors. However, on bright days you will encounter problems making out content on the display due to its low brightness. The viewing angle stability is decent.
Performance - Core i3 & SSD
Processor - Core i3-1215U
The Core i3-1215U originates from Intel's Alder Lake generation and offers 2 performance and 4 efficiency cores. Both P-cores support hyperthreading which means a total of up to 8 threads can be handled simultaneously. For a short time, the processor is permitted to consume 30 watts and then quickly settles to 15 watts. Overall, multi-core performance is very low but single-core performance is very good and this is helpful in everyday situations. The CPU is most certainly sufficient for basic tasks. In battery mode, the processor is allowed to use a maximum of 15 watts and quickly settles to only 12 watts. This equates to a performance deficit of around 25 %.

DPC latencies
In our standardized latency test (surfing the internet, 4K YouTube playback, CPU load), the review device displayed slight limitations with the available BIOS version and therefore only comes with a limited recommendation when using real-time audio applications.

Mass storage
In tests, the SK hynix 512 GB PCIe SSD installed in the review machine achieved transfer speeds of more than 3 GB/s. This presents absolutely no problems in everyday tasks and, if required, the SSD can be swapped. After the first start-up, the user has 433 GB at their disposal. Additional SSD benchmarks can be found here.

Graphics card
The Core i3-1215U is equipped with an integrated Intel UHD Graphics graphics unit with 64 EUs. We are dealing with one of the slowest iGPUs, however, it should still be sufficient for daily, home office-based tasks. Playing high-resolution videos is not a problem.
But, you shouldn't have any gaming ambitions because, apart from simple titles from the Microsoft Store (chess, mahjong, card games), hardly any games are playable. With our standard test titles, none of the games ran smoothly, even on the lowest settings. Under continuous load, the performance at least remains consistent, albeit on an overall low level. In battery mode, the GPU performance is around 10 % lower. Additional GPU benchmarks can be found here.
