Responsive power for work and multitasking

The HP 15.6\" FHD Touchscreen Laptop pairs an Intel Core i7-1255U with 64GB RAM for smooth multitasking, productivity, and media use. The 1080p touchscreen is clear and responsive, while the full-size keyboard with numpad keeps it practical for daily work. It is a dependable choice for students and professionals, with trade-offs like average battery life, modest speakers, and a plastic build that feels less premium.

Who is it for?

Students and professionals who juggle many apps and tabs.
Home users who want a clear touchscreen for media and browsing.
Productivity-first buyers who benefit from a numpad.

What to look for when buying

Expect battery life around a work session, not all day.
Plan on headphones if you want stronger audio.
Avoid heavy gaming or intensive video editing workloads.

Its ok

Performance felt slower than expected, and Windows 11 Pro needed a reinstall with Microsoft support.

It's Worth the Money

Arrived in great shape, feels light, and the processor is fast. No Ethernet port, but easy to carry.

Pros & Cons

Category	Pros	Cons
Performance & Speed	Strong i7 performance and 64GB RAM handle heavy multitasking. Large SSD storage keeps apps and files snappy. Solid day-to-day speed for work and study.	Not ideal for heavy gaming or demanding creative work. Can warm up and get noisy under heavier loads.
Display & Audio	FHD touchscreen looks crisp and responds quickly. Vibrant colors make media and browsing pleasant.	Speakers are quiet with limited bass. Display quality varies by configuration.
Design & Ergonomics	Light for its size and easy to carry. Full-size keyboard with numeric keypad helps productivity. Clean silver finish looks modern.	Plastic build feels less premium than higher-end models. Some flex around the keyboard/touchpad area.
Features & Battery	Good value for the performance and storage bundle. USB-C, USB-A, HDMI, and Wi-Fi 6E cover essentials. 720p webcam with privacy shutter plus Fast Charge support.	Battery life is average (often 4-6 hours). No Ethernet port or SD card slot. Backlit keyboard may be missing on some variants.
