HP 260 G2 DM 2TP16EA

Lightweight and versatile

The HP 260 G2 DM 2TP16EA is an unusual compact computer that blurs the lines between standard floorstanding PCs and nettops. He with the same success can hide under the table or become a stand for the monitor. In the latter case, a small stand is used to hold the case upright. At the same time, the body weighs only 1 kg, against the standard 5-6 kg, so it can be easily moved from place to place like some kind of PlayStation 4.

Looks like a console

The analogy with game consoles does not end there. The kit includes a keyboard with a mouse and a set of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth wireless interfaces, and Windows 10 is preinstalled on board. Therefore, no additional manipulations are required — plug in the power and you can work. Well, the body itself also looks like a game console.

Multithreaded Core i5

Naturally, with such a compact size, the guys from HP had to sacrifice something, so the filling here is not the most performant: a dual-core Core i5 with a maximum frequency of 2.8 GHz and multithreading support, 4 GB of DDR4 RAM, integrated Intel HD 520 video and a 128 GB SSD . That is, this option is more likely for ordinary office tasks and non-demanding applications. I am glad that there is an additional slot for RAM, so it can be expanded to a more acceptable 8 GB.

For those who need mobility

At the same time, the price of the HP 260 G2 DM is on par with much more performant models like the Lenovo V530 Tower, which makes it a somewhat specific product. It's probably best suited to those customers who lack the performance of conventional nettops, or who need a mobile computer to work with a large monitor.
