HP 15-ba009dx Laptop Review

Welcome to a Laptop Battery specialist of the HP Laptop Battery

The HP 15-ba009dx with battery like HP 634818-271 Battery, HP 635146-001 Battery, HP FN04 Battery, HP HFTNN-DB0H Battery, HP QG644PA Battery, HP QK648AA Battery, HP ProBook 5330M Battery, HP Envy 4T-1200 Battery, HP Envy 4-1000 Battery, HP TPN-C102 Battery, HP HSTNN-UB3R Battery, HP HSTNN-IB3R Battery doesn’t struggle to shine in the basic laptop category. It is made for folks who find inexpensive chromebooks attractive, but having windows is a really, really must-have in the laptop of choice. If that’s the case, this system stands out as a perfect entry into Windows 10, with a basic feature set: AMD Quad-Core A6-7310 processor; an entry-level Radeon R4 graphics card; 4GB system memory, 500GB storage; and, nothing else! The large 15.6 screen and full-sized keyboards count for a lot, making the HP 15 adequate for everyday tasks such as college assignments, spreadsheet processing, Microsoft Office projects and casual multimedia consumption.

However, if your needs encompass complex tasks that require some muscle to process, you’re safe looking elsewhere since this system isn’t the most comfortable. For folks who are after a minimal price tag, the 15-ba009dx is a decent laptop, but the but the ASUS F556UA-AB32 remains our Editors’ Choice thanks to superior performance and reasonable pricing.

For a bargain hunters, we’re certain that a fancy design isn’t among the things you’re looking out for, and the 15-ba009dx doesn’t sport a fancy design, rather, it adopts a utilitarian style. It sports a matte-black chassis with decorative glossy stripes across the lid alongside a silvery ‘HP’ logo. It measures 0.9 by 15.1 by 10 inches (HWD) and weighs 4.8 pounds.

The 15.6-inch screen has a 1,366-by-768 resolution. While that’s on the low side, it isn’t a surprise among budget systems –you’ll find the same resolution on the HP 15-ba010nr, Acer Aspire ES 15 and the Acer Aspire One Cloudbook 14; but we’ve seen Full HD (1920-by-1080) resolutions on budget systems like the ASUS F556UA-AB32 and Acer Aspire E 15 E5-575G-53VG.

As expected, to get to its budget price, HP had to do with some tradeoffs on the HP 15’s memory and storage; there is only 4GB DDR3L system memory (can be upgraded to 8GB) and a SATA-based 500GB (5400rpm) hard drive storage, which is on the mean side considering that 1TB hard drives are becoming standard in the budget category. To that, add a 2.0GHz AMD Quad-Core A6-7310 (turbo up to 2.4GHz) processor with integrated AMD Radeon R4 graphics.

The Quad-Core A6-7310 compares to, maybe, fifth-generation Intel Core i3 processor; which doesn’t add any muscle to the laptops except for basic everyday home/office computing and college assignments. The entry-level A6-series chip doesn’t translate into any gaming prowess, though, you’ll still be able to play a couple of older titles.

The HP 15-ba009dx is very attractive for basic users on a budget, to be sure. It isn’t the cheaper as you have less expensive options, especially chromebooks, and there is certainly no lack of more expensive ones. But if you’re looking for as bargain deal, the system generally delivers on what it promises and gets the job done, provided you won’t throw complex tasks its way. Although it comes in for slightly more, the ASUS F556UA-AB32 remains our Editors’ Choice thanks to higher-quality screen and superior performance.
