Walmart cuts HP 15 laptop to $339 ahead of Prime Big Deal Days

Walmart is selling an HP 15 laptop with an Intel Core i3 CPU, 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD for $339, $250 off its $589 list price, according to TechRadar. The report calls it the cheapest new true Core i3 laptop in the U.S. ahead of Amazon Prime Big Deal Days.

The laptop has a 15-inch display with a 16:9 aspect ratio and full HD resolution. TechRadar said the panel uses an anti-glare coating to reduce reflections in bright environments. The configuration includes an Intel Core i3 processor, 8GB of RAM and a 256GB solid-state drive. TechRadar said it had not reviewed this specific HP model, but the specifications point to dependable performance for everyday computing, including work tasks, video calls and streaming shows.

TechRadar described the HP 15 as suited to students who need a laptop for school or college, and to users who want a large screen for jobs that a phone handles poorly. At $339, the publication said, the purchase would not break the bank. It added that the price is solid for a 15-inch laptop with those components, even though more advanced hardware is available elsewhere.

According to TechRadar, the HP 15 is the only laptop in its price range to combine a Core i3 CPU, 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD. The report said the N305 is a decent processor and the fastest CPU in a sub-$400 laptop, and that the publication could not find anything similar. The laptop also has a full-sized keyboard with an integrated numeric pad and 1.5 mm key travel, which TechRadar said is designed for comfortable typing and increased productivity.

For connectivity, the entry-level HP laptop offers WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.4, which TechRadar described as delivering fast speeds, strong performance and good reliability. The article positioned the Walmart offer as a budget-friendly option ahead of Amazon Prime Big Deal Days, noting that not all capable laptops are prohibitively expensive and that this model was already affordable at full price before the $250 discount.
