HP 255 G8 Ryzen 5 5500U 15.6 inch laptop

The HP 255 G8 is a 15.6 inch laptop powered by a 6-core AMD Ryzen 5 5500U processor with a base clock of 2.10 GHz and a boost up to 4 GHz. It comes with 8 GB of DDR4 memory and a 256 GB PCIe NVMe SSD. The system ships without an operating system installed.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

This laptop suits buyers who need a 6-core Ryzen 5 machine with a Full HD IPS display for office work, web browsing or light content creation. It is not for buyers who want a dedicated graphics card, a touchscreen, more than 8 GB of RAM, or a larger SSD capacity out of the box.

The specification that decides fit

The single specification that decides fit is the 256 GB PCIe NVMe SSD; if your applications and files need more local storage than this drive provides, you must add an external drive or choose a different model.

Questions about this item

How do I add more memory to the 8 GB DDR4 SODIMM slot and what step do people often miss?

Remove the base cover, insert the module at an angle until it clicks, then secure the retaining clips; the step often missed is pressing both clips fully until they latch.

Which component will need replacement first — the 41 WHr battery or the 256 GB PCIe NVMe SSD?

The 3-cell 41 WHr battery will reach its cycle limit years before the SSD wears out, so plan a battery swap first.

What thermal limit appears first when the Ryzen 5 5500U runs at 4 GHz boost for long periods?

The 45 W power adapter and cooling cap sustained turbo, so the processor drops to its 2.10 GHz base clock once the thermal envelope is reached.
