HP 255 G8 Ryzen 5 5500U 16GB 256GB 15.6 laptop

Ready for daily work

The HP 255 G8 laptop ships new with a 5th Gen AMD Ryzen 5 5500U processor running at 2.10 GHz base and 4 GHz boost across six cores and twelve threads. Integrated AMD Radeon graphics drive the 15.6 inch IPS panel at 1920 x 1080 resolution and 60 Hz. Sixteen gigabytes of DDR4 memory and a 256 GB PCIe NVMe SSD provide responsive multitasking and fast boot times for office, study or light creative tasks.

Thermals and power

A 45 W power supply charges the 3 cell 41 WHr battery while the thin 0.88 inch chassis dissipates heat from the 12 MB L3 cache processor during typical productivity workloads. The fanless integrated graphics keep acoustic output low in quiet rooms and the 802.11ac wireless plus Bluetooth 5.2 maintain connectivity without adding thermal load.

Build integration

HDMI output and a USB 3.2 Type C port connect external displays and peripherals without docks while the SD card reader ingests media directly. The RJ 45 jack provides wired networking where Wi Fi is restricted. Buyers who need a discrete GPU for rendering or a second NVMe slot for expansion should look elsewhere. The 3.8 lb weight and compact 14.10 by 9.53 inch footprint suit mobile professionals and hot desk environments.
