HP 250 G10: The versatile all-rounder on a budget!
The HP 250 G10 forms the core of the Essential series and offers a perfect balance between performance and price. This 15.6-inch business laptop is equipped with powerful Intel Core processors (i3, i5, or i7) and is available with up to 16GB DDR4 memory and spacious SSD storage up to 512GB. With a Full HD (1920 x 1080) anti-glare screen and a screen-to-body ratio of 85%, the HP 250 G10 offers an excellent viewing experience for daily tasks.
The thin, lightweight housing (from 1.50 kg) makes the HP 250 G10 ideal for hybrid working, whether you're at the office, at home, or on the go. Thanks to the battery life of up to 8 hours, you can work through the entire workday without worrying about power supply.
For business video conferencing, the HP 250 G10 is equipped with an HD camera with temporal noise reduction, so you're always clearly visible. Connectivity is no problem with USB-C data port, HDMI connection, and multiple USB-A ports, allowing you to easily connect all your peripherals.

HP Essential family
Besides the popular HP 250 models, the Essential series also consists of other formats. The HP 470 G10 series offered more workspace for professionals who need a larger display with a 17.3-inch screen, while the compact HP 240 G10 with 14-inch screen was ideal for maximum mobility. Both models are currently EOL (End-of-Life) but were equipped with similar Intel processors and business features as their 15.6-inch counterpart.
The HP Essential laptops are excellently suited for various business applications. Whether you're performing simple administrative tasks, editing documents, holding video conferences, or doing light multitasking - these laptops provide the performance and reliability that business users need.
