HP 255 G8 Ryzen 5 laptop

The HP 255 G8 is a 15.6 inch Full HD laptop powered by a 5th Gen AMD Ryzen 5 5500U processor with 6 cores and 12 threads. It ships with 64GB of DDR4 memory and a 512GB PCIe NVMe SSD running Windows 11 Home. The IPS display runs at 60 Hz and the chassis finishes in Dark Ash Silver.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

This machine suits office workers, students and remote teams who need generous memory for multitasking and fast boot times from NVMe storage. Buyers who want a dedicated graphics card for gaming or 3D rendering should look elsewhere. Users requiring a touchscreen, an optical drive or a higher refresh rate panel will not find those features here.

Build fit: ports, power and expansion

Connectivity includes 802.11ac Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.2 and a wired RJ-45 LAN port. Video output is handled by HDMI and a USB 3.2 Type-C port, while an SD card reader and a combo audio jack cover peripheral needs. The 45 W adapter charges the 3-cell 41 WHr battery. No optical drive is fitted, freeing internal space for the upgraded memory and storage configuration.
