Ready for office work

The HP 255 G8 is a 15.6-inch laptop powered by a Ryzen 5 5500U processor with six cores and a boost clock of 4 GHz. It ships with 32 GB of DDR4 memory and a 256 GB PCIe NVMe SSD. The IPS display runs at 1920 x 1080 resolution and 60 Hz. Windows 10 Pro 64-bit is pre-installed.

Suits mobile professionals, not gamers

This configuration suits professionals who need generous memory for multitasking and a lightweight chassis at 3.8 lb. Buyers who want a dedicated graphics card for gaming or 3D rendering should look at a different class of machine. The integrated Radeon graphics handle desktop tasks and video playback only.

Check your peripherals and OS needs

Verify that your external monitors use HDMI or that you have a USB-C adapter for video output. The laptop provides 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.2 for wireless accessories. Ensure your workflow is compatible with Windows 10 Pro, as no newer operating system licence is included.

Questions about this item

Does the HP 255 G8 need an external monitor or does the built-in 15.6" 1920 x 1080 IPS panel work on its own?

The integrated 15.6-inch IPS display runs at 1920 x 1080 resolution and 60 Hz, so the laptop is fully usable without any external screen.

Can I keep using my older USB-A flash drives with the USB 3.2 Type-C port on this Ryzen 5 5500U machine?

The USB 3.2 Type-C port requires a Type-C to Type-A adapter or cable to connect legacy USB-A flash drives.

How do I confirm the 32 GB DDR4 memory and 256 GB PCIe NVMe SSD are recognised after first boot?

Open Windows Settings > System > About to see 32 GB installed RAM, then open Task Manager > Performance to verify the 256 GB NVMe SSD appears as the system drive.
