HP Notebook 15.6" 2795 2022, Core i5-1135G7, 32GB, 1TB SSD, Silver
The Intel Core i5-1135G7 with Iris Xe graphics pairs with 32GB DDR4 RAM and a 1TB PCIe SSD for smooth multitasking and fast boot times. The 15.6-inch FHD anti-glare display at 250 nits keeps things readable in bright rooms, while the 1.7kg weight and backlit keyboard add portability and comfort. Best for students juggling coursework and light productivity, though its integrated GPU limits gaming to casual titles.

The proof
Performance
The 32GB of RAM is the real surprise here. That's more memory than most laptops at this price, and it makes juggling dozens of browser tabs and office apps feel effortless. But the Intel Core i5-1135G7 is showing its age, landing in the bottom quarter of CPUs we've tested. It'll handle everyday tasks fine, but don't expect it to chew through heavy workloads. The integrated Iris Xe graphics are about average, so light photo editing is okay, but gaming is basically off the table.

vs Competition
Stacked against something like the Microsoft Surface Laptop 7th Edition, the HP feels like a relic. The Surface has a far better screen, newer silicon, and a more premium build. The Lenovo Legion 5i is in a different league for performance, though it's heavier and pricier. Even a MacBook Pro M4 Pro makes this HP look like a toy, but that's an unfair fight. The HP's only real edge is that 32GB of RAM at a lower price than most competitors.

Price
Value & Pricing
At around $1,020 USD, this is a tough sell. You're paying for the RAM and storage, but the processor and display are budget-tier. If you can find it on sale, it's a decent deal for a student or office worker. At full price, you're better off looking elsewhere.

Overview
The HP Notebook 2795 is a classic case of a spec sheet that looks better than the actual experience. You get a beefy 32GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD, which is great for multitasking and storage, but the CPU is old news and the screen is a letdown. The one thing to know? This is a budget workhorse with a few frustrating compromises.
Common Questions
Q: Does this laptop have an SD card slot?
No, despite what some listings claim. Multiple buyers have reported the SD card reader is missing. Don't count on it.
Q: Is the display touchscreen?
Nope. It's a standard 1080p non-touch panel, and it's not very bright at 250 nits. Fine for indoor use, but forget using it outside.
Q: Can this laptop handle gaming?
Not really. The integrated Iris Xe graphics can handle light indie games, but anything modern will struggle. This is not a gaming machine.
Who Should Skip This
If you're looking for a laptop with a great screen or all-day battery life, this isn't it. Go get a Microsoft Surface Laptop or a MacBook Air instead. And if you need an SD card slot, look elsewhere entirely.
Verdict
The HP Notebook 2795 is a mixed bag. If you need tons of RAM and storage on a budget and can live with a mediocre screen and short battery life, it'll get the job done. But for most people, there are better options out there. Wait for a discount or keep shopping.
