The HP 15-fc0039nf is currently being sold by E.Leclerc and is positioned in the average of its category where it is one of the only ones to offer such a recent processor.
Chassis, connectors, screen of the HP 15-fc0039nf
With its thin and light Dark Grey design, this laptop has a sober and elegant look.
The connectivity integrated into this laptop PC is good, including 1 USB-C, 6-ax Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.3 wireless modules for wireless remote connections and communications, an audio port, a practical HDMI video output for easily connecting it to a monitor or a TV for example but also 2 USB 3.0 (USB 2.0 compatible) guaranteeing transfers up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 if USB 3.0 devices are connected.
Thanks to its IPS technology, the screen benefits from large viewing angles, both horizontal and vertical. However, its colorimetry is average, logically considering the positioning of this PC, and therefore inferior to that of high-end IPS panels.
In any case, thanks to its precise Full HD definition and its 16:9 format, the screen lends itself well to displaying High Definition content such as videos. Its anti-reflective treatment also makes it more readable in a bright environment (e.g. outdoors) than a shiny panel.
Performances, autonomie de l’HP 15-fc0039nf
The HP 15-fc0039nf is a thin and light High Definition laptop designed for everyday use.
In this area such as office automation and Internet surfing but also in controlled multitasking and for viewing photos and videos, it delivers good performance. Because it is built around a low-consumption AMD Ryzen 7000 Mendocino Ryzen 5 7200U Quad Core housing the Radeon 610M graphics part. But also a good amount of 8 GB RAM.
On the storage side, we find a 512 GB SSD, capacity in line with the standard for hard drives. However, if you need more space, you can rely on an external storage unit. Opting for a USB 3.0/USB-C device then represents an interesting solution for obtaining fast transfers.
In any case, an SSD offers several advantages compared to a simple hard drive such as greater robustness, silent operation, lower energy consumption or even greater speed.
Concretely, thanks to the SSD we obtain, for example, much faster application launches and starts/stops than with a hard drive.
Generally speaking, the SSD provides much greater fluidity and responsiveness in use.
As for the autonomy of this mobile computer, which is as easily transportable as an Ultrabook thanks to its controlled weight and thinness, expect around 7 hours of battery operation in light use.
