Folks, Ive had one of these machines for about 9 months now. Its ok but (i) the USB ports show an intermittent fault when connecting an external hard drive to them, and (what really drives me mad is ....) (ii) the fan noise. The fan comes in periodically and it is as though a helicopter is coming in to land on my roof. Do all newer laptops of all makes, have this fan problem ?
The fan will be kicking in, because the laptop is working so hard, it needs to cool down - so it's likely to be what you're using it for, which is triggering the fan.
My old HP250 G6 with i7 -7500u processor has served me well, but is falling apart (literally) and is now also pretty much kaput. The entry level G9 has an i5 -1235u processor, which oddly I'd of thought with lower numbers, would be less good. Confusing, but apparently the G9's processor is actually a good deal better than that in the G6. Best price now (April 24) for for a basic G9 seems really good at £400 inc. delivery and also the case looks to be tougher than the G6, so I'll go for that.
So for what I understand so far from comments that it's not good for Designing, Recording or Gaming. I don't think it should so darn expensive and for what? Who in the right mind would buy this. At this price range there are a thousang other good laptops. I am still wondering...
May be you should invest in laptop with external GPU which can hardwarely boost your editing speed. The thing is not all software support hardware optimizations.
Maybe not with your version maybe you need the intel NVME driver but in general I’ve found that HP budget laptops are very easy laptops to install linux on.

How is the battery life? This is something im worried about in cheaper laptops nowadays...
It's very good - 6 hours +
Hi, This laptop spec is good, but can I use it for Any development works? like Web development, and also can I use it connected with other monitors ?
Yes you can connect monitors to it.

Thank you, what do you think about HP Laptop 255 G9 DOS/15.6inch FHD AG/Ryzen 5-5625U/8GB/512GB/GLAN? Is it worth 700 eur?
No I think 700 Euros is too much not to have Windows installed on it.
What is the screen like? Some of their previous screens have not been that good, like poor viewing angles, insufficient brightness and dull colours.
I would say the screen is decent, but not amazing.
What do you think is it good play games like fortnite with it?
You probably want a gaming laptop for that.
Would you recommend it to an engineering student? I will have to use programms like Mathlab and Simulink...
I have no knowledge of that software so I'm unable to advise.
Hi, engineering and computer science student here. Absolutely, it's literally the best one out there for that..😭
Does the USB C port provide video signal? Will it work with a docking station for multiple monitors?
I think the USB Type C port will support connecting a dock that has monitor outputs to it.
@@LucidComputerSolutions I would buy 5 laptops if I would know that for sure. Its excausting to find reliable information.
@@kaifelkaifel Did you this answer? I'm thinking to buy this notebook, but I need to confirm this.
@@LucidComputerSolutions Did you this answer? I'm thinking to buy this notebook, but I need to confirm this.
@@Fordika1 No video, I bought a HP ProBook 450 G9 779H5ES after all
Are those old school left and right buttons under the touch pad?
Yes, I think so. The laptop also comes with a free time machine.
Would it be good for obs recording for about 2 or more hours?
No
Would this be a good laptop for gaming I’m just looking for laptops and I don’t really know what to get
No it wouldn't.
@@LucidComputerSolutions ok thanks
@@LucidComputerSolutionscan u reccomend a cheaper one thats good for gaming?
this good for animation on toonboom? also is it compatible with windows 10 or 11?
And can it run games like tf2?
Animation no. Windows 10/11 yes.
@@LucidComputerSolutions Damn. Could ya tell mewhat qualifies for a laptop good for toonboom so I know what to look for?
I have the same laptop but an i5 12th gen but it's new bought it about 2 months ago and my battery dies very fast last about 1hour 45 mins
I'd get a warranty repair done on that
@@LucidComputerSolutions do I need a hp repair shop?
Does it come with the 2.5 hdd flexi cable inside?
Please can u help me? Is this laptop good for arch work with program like lumion 10 or sketch up? Need your help!!!
You should probably go for something with dedicated graphics in it, like a gaming laptop.
Do you know if on the USB-C if possible connect a monitor? I want to connect two monitors one in Usb-c and another in Hdmi.
I don't think you can use the Type-C port for a monitor.
Would the graphics card be good enoigh to edit videos in 2024?
Edit: Enough*
No.
Is it a good laptop for someone who likes to game and school work?
School work yes, gaming no.
@LucidComputerSolutions oh OK I chose a lenovo thinkpad x1 carbon gen 8 instead is that good?
Theres a ryzen 7 version for 500, it also has a integrated gpu, this should be good fornlight gaming right?
I'd stick to a proper gaming laptop.
what about playing games on it?
This isn't designed for gaming.
Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15IAU7 vs HP 250 G9 ? What better
I don't know I'm afraid.
AMD Ryzen 7 is £100 cheaper than the i7 version. is i7 worth it?
I'd save the £100 and go with the Ryzen 7.
do you tjink in would run arc gis okay?
@@LucidComputerSolutions
to run arc gis?

So for what I understand so far from comments that it's not good for Designing, Recording or Gaming. I don't think it should so darn expensive and for what? Who in the right mind would buy this. At this price range there are a thousang other good laptops.
I am still wondering...
Reasons to purchase it: Build quality, spec, trusted brand, warranty.
Which laptop would you recommend then?
Hello, thanks for the review, would it be good for Photoshop and those type of programs?
Probably not.
@@LucidComputerSolutions what about wordpress for web design?
What is this "High spec" for you are talking about, if you can't design, record, game or any heavy thing.
What's your point ma man
High spec compared to a standard day to day business laptop.
Is it good for ux ui design?
No.
@@LucidComputerSolutions which one you recommend for that
Would you recommend this laptop for programming?
Yes.
@@LucidComputerSolutions would you recommend the 250 G9 or the envy? I can't make up my mind which one to go for.
I found the option with 32 GB ram at 850e it good ?
Yes it is probably good.
I guess Windows 10 doesn't support it. Windows 11 is mandatory. They did so stupid😕
It does support Windows 11.
Hi mate would the 32GB ram be good for editing
Depends on what you're editing... a Word doc? Or a full blown 4K Video?
@@LucidComputerSolutions video editing. Doesn’t have to be full 4k but how capable is it. Thanks
May be you should invest in laptop with external GPU which can hardwarely boost your editing speed. The thing is not all software support hardware optimizations.
Price??
Ever changing
Is this heavy when we compare to other laptops?
It's the expected weight for a 15" laptop.
Its a fast pc?
Very
is it good for programming projects for school?
Basic programming, yes.
Could youplease tell me about the graphic card? Is it Iris ?
Sorry we're no longer is possession of the laptop so we can't directly check.
@@LucidComputerSolutions thank you!
Hi, is it good for music production and live?
No.
@@LucidComputerSolutions thank you for the answer. I meant with an external audio interface.
will gta v run in it ?
Probably not
It does
is it plastic?
Yes I think so (although I no longer have the laptop to hand)
@@LucidComputerSolutionsis it reasonably rigid? It is often an issue of cheap consumer laptop series made of thin plastic.
Ryzen version is better
Possibly.
This laptop does not support linux, dont waste your money on it !
Hmmmm Linux is about 1% of global users...
writing this comment on this laptop using ubuntu....
Maybe not with your version maybe you need the intel NVME driver but in general I’ve found that HP budget laptops are very easy laptops to install linux on.
