HP 255 G8 business laptop

The HP 255 G8 is a 15.6 inch laptop powered by an AMD Ryzen 5 5500U processor with six cores and a 4 GHz turbo frequency. It ships with 16 GB of DDR4 memory and a 2 TB PCIe NVMe SSD running Windows 11 Home. The dark ash silver chassis houses a 1920 x 1080 IPS display at 60 Hz and integrated AMD Radeon graphics.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

This laptop suits office workers and students who need a responsive system for documents, web apps and video calls with plenty of local storage. Buyers who want a touchscreen, a discrete graphics card for gaming or rendering, or a higher refresh rate panel should look elsewhere. The integrated graphics and 60 Hz screen limit 3D performance and motion clarity.

Specification that decides fit

The single specification that decides fit is the 2 TB PCIe NVMe SSD capacity. If your workflow demands more than two terabytes of fast internal storage, this unit will not meet the requirement without external drives.

Questions about this item

What are the exact dimensions of the 255 G8 so I can check it fits my bag or dock?

The laptop measures 14.10 IN wide, 9.53 IN deep and .88 IN high, weighing 3.8lb.

How do I add more memory, and which slot do I use first?

Open the base cover, insert a DDR4 SO-DIMM into the free slot; the board ships with 16GB already installed in one slot.

When will the 3-cell 41 WHr battery need replacing?

Expect 2–3 years of daily use before capacity drops below 80%; swap it by removing the bottom screws and disconnecting the cable.
