HP 255 G8 Ryzen 5 laptop

The HP 255 G8 is a 15.6 inch laptop powered by a Ryzen 5 5500U processor with six cores and a 4 GHz boost clock. It ships with 8GB of DDR4 memory and a 256GB PCIe NVMe SSD running Windows 10 Home. The 1920 x 1080 IPS display runs at 60 Hz and the chassis finished in Dark Ash Silver weighs 3.8lb.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

This configuration suits students and office workers who need a light machine for documents, web apps and video calls using the integrated Radeon graphics and 720p webcam. Buyers who want more storage than 256GB or who need a dedicated GPU for rendering or gaming should look at other models.

The specification that decides fit

The single 8GB DDR4 SO-DIMM module determines whether the laptop can handle your workload; if your applications regularly exceed that capacity you will need a model that supports additional memory.

Questions about this item

Does the box include the power supply and plug, or must I buy a charger separately?

A 45W power supply and a NEMA 5-15P to C5 clover-leaf plug are included in the box.

The laptop has 8 GB DDR4 — can I add more memory later, and what type do I need?

The board uses DDR4 SO-DIMM modules; one slot is occupied by the 8 GB stick, leaving room for an upgrade.

The 256 GB PCIe NVMe SSD is the boot drive — how fast will Windows 10 actually start on this hardware?

Windows 10 Home 64-bit boots in roughly 10–15 seconds from the NVMe drive on the Ryzen 5 5500U.
