Overview of the HP 620 Matte Notebook PC. Price! Quality!
A few years ago, in order to add a mom to the internet, I gave her a netbook. Just at that time, they were gaining popularity and tempting cost. Recently, my mother complained to me that she felt very uncomfortable working on him, because the screen is too small, the text is hard to read. Constantly had to strain your eyesight. Indeed, with age, the vision is not the same, and I want the letters to be bigger, and the eyes are not so tired. It was decided to find an inexpensive and practical laptop with a large screen. Accidentally discovering the HP 620 with a matte case and a screen for 11,500 rubles, I realized this is what you need!
For such a ridiculous price for a laptop (not a netbook!), I did not expect to receive such a high-quality product. HP really surprised me.

Specifications of HP 620 XN590EA:
Inside is Intel's familiar 2nd Core processor, Celeron Dual Core with a frequency of 1900 MHz. This power will be enough for the modern Internet, office tasks, listening to music and watching HD movies. Of course, there is no question about games, because this is a completely different class.
He is matt! Almost all of the surface is matte and has a pleasant to the touch texture surface.
The only place is a keypad bezel that shines in treacherous ways and shows your fingerprints. Plastic quality is good. There is no feeling that it is easy to scratch it, or that it will crack from a weak blow. No prints, just a rough surface.
The laptop has typical dimensions (371x249x27 mm). There are no rounding and rounding, a strict office design. The weight is not so big - 2.4 kg.
The front panel contains a card reader and connectors for headphones and a microphone.
On the left side - the ventilation grille, D-Sub for connecting the monitor, power supply, RJ-45 for the network, HDMI for displaying pictures on TV, USB 2.0 and ExpressCard 34.
Right before us is a DVD-RW drive, no unnecessary DialUp modem and 2 USB 2.0 connectors.
The battery occupies the entire back side. The bottom of the laptop is made of typical rough black plastic. It seems that to open the cover completely enough to unscrew 4 screws.
The only speaker is located above the keyboard under the metal grille. Compared with other laptops, HP clearly loses in sound quality and volume. But for my mom there wasn’t much difference what the sound was.
He is also matte! Screen size 15.6 inches. There is a LED LED backlight, the resolution is 1366x768. Enough brightness, good angles.
As they say the difference on the face!
The maximum opening angle is not the biggest.
The camera for video calls with a resolution of 2 Megapixels has a rather nice picture, while working next to it a white indicator is on. To the right is the microphone.
The keyboard is similar to the island: there are small gaps between the keys. All characters are white. Russian letters are smaller, but read well.
On the left are multimedia keys, which will greatly simplify the use of a laptop. Ctrl in its place.
Turning off wireless networks and sound have separate keys and the user does not have to bend fingers by pinching Fn and function keys. If Wi-Fi is on, the indicator on the key glows white, if it is turned off, it is orange.
Caps Lock has a white glowing indicator.
The touchpad is large enough, has a rough surface. There is a multi-touch button nicely pressed.
The traditional test for the deflection of the keyboard. Nothing bends or crunches.
The battery keeps on 2 latches when pressed, on which it jumps out of the laptop. The battery capacity is 4090 mAh, although they write 4400 mAh everywhere.
Internet surfing and average backlight will put the battery in 2.5 hours.
Charging is standard for notebook sizes and does not take up much space.
At the end of the wire there is a rubber holder with which you can conveniently fix the wire.
Near the charging connector is a white indicator that indicates that charging is in progress. With a weak battery, it glows orange.
In general, in a laptop, all the indicators are very well made: they are not bright, they shine with pleasant white or orange light and do not distract attention. The only thing I could not find is the hard disk activity indicator.
Today, a laptop carrying bag is a rare gift from manufacturers. And here for such a low cost they give a high-quality brand bag from HP for free!
The bag has carrying handles and a shoulder strap that can be folded.
Inside 2 compartments, which are divided by a soft partition. You can put a laptop, charging and 2 more netbook fit.
The absence of Windows favorably affected the price. Instead, it is worth SUSE Linux. When you first turn on the 15 minutes goes to the installation of the system, in which you will be asked to specify the main parameters. After installation, everything works out of the box right away, you do not have to climb the forums to put the desired program. There are a lot of different applications, various office programs and games.
Putting Windows is not a problem - on the HP website there are drivers for all devices.
The BIOS is also HP-style: pleasant white tones, touchpad works.
I really liked this laptop. It has many advantages: price, matte case and screen, 320 GB hard drive, HDMI, drive, HP style, bluetooth, good keyboard, bag. Of the shortcomings - it is rather weak sound. For this price, we get a quality product from HP, which is not ashamed to put on the table, unlike competitors in this price segment (eMachines, Lenovo). A convenient bag will allow you to carry a laptop with you to the country. HDMI makes it easy to connect to the TV, a matte screen makes it easier to view in the open air. The HP 620 is a very balanced laptop that easily finds its user.
