Buying a laptop is not like buying a lollipop. You have to do some digging because you’d be spending some significant amount of money. You don’t want to buy a laptop that doesn’t have necessary features or won’t be durable. If you want to buy a veritable (in Nigerian parlance, ogbonge) laptop, I strongly recommend you read through.

The HP laptops discussed here meet some very important standards that are requisites: reliability, authenticity, durability, functionality-cum-beauty, lightweight, and speed among others.
You might have a laptop in mind, but dare I say the following recommendations would beat whatever it is.

Before we start, note:
1. Nowhere on Jumia would you get any laptop in the category of the ones reviewed here cheaper than them (i.e. the ones reviewed here). I compared all and brought out the best deals as regards, price and added benefits.

2. Whatever functional laptop you buy should have:
(1) the WiFi, (2) the Bluetooth, (3) DVD RW Drive, (4) Keyboard Light (speaking from experience, this is very very useful), ((5) Touchscreen, optional), among other things. These make your experience easy. You should especially not buy a laptop without a DVD Drive as most of the softwares that’d be installed in it would be done through CDs and/or DVDs. With WiFi on your laptop, whether you’re a student or work at some firm or company, you can easily have internet access, if they support this. I schooled at the University of Port Harcourt where WiFi is supported. With that, I easily gained access to the internet free. With Bluetooth you can easily send little items from or to your device, where there’s no cord. Keyboard Light is absolutely helpful, in the day or at night.

Note also: HDD stands for Hard Disk Drive; OS stands for Operating system.

With the foregoing notes established, let’s lurch in.

1. HP Notebook 15 Intel® Celeron -- ₦ 120,600

If you’re on a budget and you don’t need a laptop for heavy tasks or work, such as blogging; or you won’t be running heavy applications, this laptop’s tailored for you. It’s top-notch for movies and is very fine for light works such as typing, sending emails, storing documents, running a search on a search engine, using social networking sites, including SKYPE; and the like.
A laptop that’s lower than this is best for a child younger than 9, speaking from experience. Thus, if you want to buy a veritable laptop on a budget and if you won’t be needing it for heavy tasks, this is your best fit.

While this laptop’s great for the foregoing mentioned tasks, it’s not so good with heavy applications such as high-end games (Asphalt 9, for example). Heavy applications are the ones that use up a lot of RAM space, causing your laptop to run slowly or even freeze. This is exasperatingly frustrating.

-CPU Speed: 1.6 GHz
-RAM: 4GB
-Weight: 2.1 kg
-HDD: 500G
-Screen: 15.6-Inch

If you want an advanced laptop you can use to run heavy tasks or applications, this is a good bet. The speed is very good. And given that it has 1TB of HDD, you can store up a great deal of things in it. The laptop can handle heavy tasks and should boot in about 3-5 seconds given its CPU speed of 2.4GHz.

3. HP Notebook 15-DA0093CA i3 – N170,000

www.nairaland.com/attachments/8545833_1_jpeg83b5009e040969ee7b60362ad7426573

This is the kind of HP laptop I use. It is an improvement of the foregoing one. It is spectacular. Given that I use this type and have got personal experience of it, I’m in a very good position to review it. Before I start, I must stress that my laptop beats it a little, only a little. While this one has 1TB of HDD, mine has 2.

Notwithstanding the slight difference, both laptops have the same performance as regards speed because both have exactly the same CPU Speed which is 2.4GHz. When you put this laptop on, it boots in about 3-5 seconds. I run heavy applications and I’m a blogger (at DubaiTourPro.com). It never freezes and scarcely runs slowly. It supports WiFi, hotspot, and of course Bluetooth. Its keyboard keys also boast lights, so that you can see every key without any hassle. The keyboard light is super productive, whether in the day or at night.

Further, the laptop can carry out heavy tasks and run heavy applications. Thus, you can play high-end games with it. Seriously, this laptop is a veritable one; in Nigerian parlance, this nah laptop. Have I mentioned it’s touch screen?
I remember people referring to mine as “the beast”, and “machine”. Some said its “clean”; a guy said, “this laptop dey murder me o” etc. Some just admired it with heightened interest. In all the cases, I grinned. If you buy the laptop, you shouldn’t have anything to regret.

Laptop Highlights:
-CPU Speed: 2.4Ghz
-RAM: 8GB
-HDD: 1TB
-Screen: 15 Inch
-OS: Windows 10 Home 64
-Wireless Connectivity: WiFi, hotspot and Bluetooth
-Webcam: HD Camera with integrated digital microphone
-Audio features: Dual Speakers
-Battery life mixed usage: Up to 11 hours and 45 minutes
-Keyboard: Standard with numeric keypad
-Keyboard Light: Yes
-DVD RW Drive: Yes
-Touch Screen: Yes

Buy this laptop on Jumia (at N170,000) and get:
i. A 32GB flash drive

Note: Nowhere on Jumia can you get it cheaper.

Verdict
If you want to buy a small laptop, buy the first one. If you want to buy a smart laptop that people would see and respect, buy the third one. But if you need a powerful laptop, but you’re on a budget and wouldn’t mind not having some advanced features, go with the second one.

In case you don’t know, when you buy a product from Jumia, they deliver it to you. And on Jumia, to reiterate, these laptops are the cheapest in their categories. In other words, there are other dealers on Jumia selling the same HP laptops as these, but these are priced significantly cheaper and come with added benefits, as shown here. Enjoy!
