Everyday work laptop with Ryzen 5 5500U

The HP 255 G8 is a 15.6 inch laptop built for office tasks, study and light content consumption. Its six-core Ryzen 5 5500U processor reaches 4 GHz turbo frequency with 12 MB cache, while 8 GB DDR4 memory and Windows 11 Pro 64-bit handle typical multitasking. Integrated Radeon graphics drive the 1920 x 1080 IPS panel at 60 Hz. Dark Ash Silver chassis weighs 3.8 lb.

512 GB PCIe NVMe SSD with 8 GB memory headroom

The 512 GB PCIe NVMe solid-state drive provides fast boot and application load times for documents, spreadsheets and media libraries. Eight gigabytes of DDR4 SODIMM memory keeps several browser tabs, email clients and productivity suites open simultaneously. Heavy video editing, large CAD assemblies or modern gaming will exhaust both storage capacity and memory bandwidth quickly.

HDMI, USB 3.2 Type-C and RJ-45 connectivity

An HDMI port connects external monitors or projectors for presentations. USB 3.2 Type-C and an SD card reader support peripherals and quick file transfers. Gigabit Ethernet via RJ-45 and 802.11ac Wi-Fi with Bluetooth 5.2 cover wired and wireless networking. The 45 W adapter charges the 41 Whr three-cell battery. No optical drive is included.

Questions about this item

Will the USB 3.2 Type-C port on the HP 255 G8 work with my older USB 3.0 external SSD?

Yes, the USB 3.2 Type-C port is backward compatible with USB 3.0 devices. Your external SSD will connect and function at USB 3.0 speeds using a suitable cable or adapter.

How can I verify the Ryzen 5 5500U is running at its 4 GHz turbo frequency under load?

Open Task Manager in Windows 11 Pro, select the Performance tab, and watch the CPU clock speed while running a demanding task. It should approach 4 GHz on active cores when thermal headroom allows.

Does the box include an HDMI cable for the 15.6" Full HD display output, or must I buy one separately?

The package contains the laptop, a 45 W power supply, and documentation. An HDMI cable is not included and must be purchased separately for external display connections.
