The HP 15-r110dx laptop packs an excellent processor in a budget package. This inconspicuous-looking notebook with a 15.6-inch 720p display, non-backlit keyboard, and a chassis made of black plastics features the Intel Core i5-4210U dual-core processor. It is good not only for the common daily chores, but also for advanced stuff like photo and video editing. To see how the CPU stacks up against other notebook-use chips, take a look at the chart on this page. The i5 is accompanied by 6GB of RAM memory and a 750GB hard drive, which are more capacious than the usual 4GB / 500GB setups. The laptop also has a built-in DVD optical drive. Overall, the 15-r110dx provides fast computing, ample of storage space, and all important networking and connectivity features at below $500, but it lacks some premium perks such as keyboard backlight and touchscreen. If you want to save $100 while getting touch support on the display, you can check out the HP 15-f010dx which is a far more popular HP 15-series configuration. Alongside the touch screen, it sports a somewhat slower Intel i3 processor and smaller 4GB RAM and 500GB HDD capacities.
