The HP 15-fd1009nf faces the competition
The HP 15-fd1009nf is currently marketed by Darty and the Fnac. It offers an interesting configuration/price ratio for its category where it is one of the least expensive to offer such a recent and efficient processor as well as the graphics solution with such a high amount of RAM as well as an SSD of such large capacity in such a light case but does not include the keyboard backlighting.

Chassis, connections, screen of the HP 15-fd1009nf
This versatile laptop PC has a sober and elegant appearance that can be recharged to 50% in 45 minutes with its thin and light Natural Silver design.
This multimedia laptop integrates good connectivity with its USB-C, its Wi-Fi 6 ax and Bluetooth 5.2 wireless modules for remote connections and communications, its audio port, its useful HDMI video output to easily connect it to a TV for example or its 3 USBs including 2 USB 3.0 (USB 2.0 compatible) providing transfers up to 5 times faster than USB 2.0 if USB 3.0 devices are connected.
A priori the chiclet keyboard does not have a backlighting solution, which is regrettable at this price level if this is confirmed.
Those more concerned about their privacy will appreciate being able to hide the webcam behind a privacy shutter when they are not using it.
The Full HD screen, which lends itself well to displaying videos due to its 16:9 format, benefits from significant viewing angles, both horizontally and vertically.
And this is thanks to its IPS technology, however not high-end here because the colorimetry is classic.
Thanks to its anti-reflective treatment, the screen is in any case more readable than a shiny panel in a bright environment (eg outdoors) while being more restful for the eyes during prolonged use.
Performance, autonomy of the HP 15-fd1009nf
The HP 15-fd1009nf is aimed at those looking for an elegant nomadic 15-inch laptop PC with high performance in terms of multimedia-oriented processor.
It indeed integrates a large amount of RAM of 32 GB, double what the models in its range offer and even beyond.
Suffice to say that we can see this coming, especially since the RAM is associated with a processor with AI capabilities, the Core Ultra 5 125H Meteor Lake with 14 hybrid cores housing the Intel Arc graphics module within it.
We thus benefit from solid general performance which will particularly delight those who carry out work using RAM and multi-core (and AI), such as photo editing or video editing.
Because with this Ultrabook we benefit from faster multimedia processing in these areas than if we were dealing with 16/24 GB DDR4/5 as well as a classic Quad Core.
If many players will pass on their way since no dedicated graphics card is on board, some of them will be satisfied with the performance of the Intel Arc, higher than that of the classic Iris Xe.
Thanks to the Intel Arc, we can indeed play modest games and of course watch HD photos and videos with peace of mind.
You can safely store personal creations in addition to software and files on the SSD with a high capacity of 1000 GB.
Shock resistant, an SSD is also energy efficient, quiet and offers high speed.
This clearly reinforces the responsiveness and fluidity of the PC on a daily basis, which translates in particular into rapid starts/stops, processing and launches of applications, or even by the fact that we quickly reach the game cards in line.
Finally, expect this versatile multimedia Ultrabook to heat up and make itself heard under heavy load (e.g. processing).
You can limit your temperatures by using a ventilated support (remember to check the dimensions carefully!).
