📊 CPU Mark: old benchmarks, scale from 0 to 7,800
These bars only group historical values of unknown date and version; they do not constitute tests of this device.
Celeron N4000: ≈ 1,100

⭐ Ryzen 3 2200U: separate V10 data
Model averages verified on PassMark on October 13, 2026 according to the sheet, not results measured on this HP copy.
CPU Mark multithread: 3,663 points. Distinct scale from 0 to 4,000.
Single Thread Rating: 1,671 points. Distinct scale from 0 to 2,000.
CPU Mark and Single Thread are two different measurements; their bars do not use the same scale. These values replace the old unvalidated figure of about 5,200.
🧩 Cores and threads, scale from 0 to 8
Blue: physical cores. Orange: threads. Threads are not additional physical cores.
N4000: 2 cores / 2 threads
i3-6100U: 2 cores / 4 threads
⭐ Ryzen 3 2200U: 2 cores / 4 threads
i5-8250U: 4 cores / 8 threads
Ryzen 5 2500U: 4 cores / 8 threads
The other lines retain the old benchmarks from the sheet, whose test version and original date are not documented. Do not calculate performance percentages between these old values and the updated Ryzen average. PerformanceTest V9 and V10 are distinct.
The Ryzen 3 2200U remains an old 2 physical core mobile processor, suitable for simple tasks. No general equivalence with a 4-core / 8-thread Core i5-8250U nor universal superiority over Core i3s is promised. A score gap does not guarantee the same speed gap in every application; the number of cores and threads is not enough to determine performance. The provided Geekbench figures are not displayed due to the lack of a specified test version. Comparisons, not promises of compatible upgrades.
🎯 Recommended uses and limitations
- Studies: writing, research, homework, and learning platforms according to the institution's requirements.
- Office work: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, emails, family management, budget spreadsheets, and administrative documents.
- Internet and multimedia: web browsing, music, videos, YouTube, Netflix, Tou.tv, and Disney+ depending on the browser, codec, and connection; no universally guaranteed stutter-free playback.
- Communications: video calls with integrated webcam and microphone, depending on the current compatibility of applications like Zoom or Teams.
For a long work session at home, keep the charger nearby: the battery provides about one hour depending on use. The HD screen favors an affordable 15.6 in format, but shows less detail than a Full HD screen.
Less suitable: demanding AAA games, professional 4K editing, heavy virtualization, and industrial 3D modeling. The SSD improves storage responsiveness without guaranteeing instant opening of all software.
🎮 Casual gaming: realistic expectations
The Vega 3 shares system memory. Performance varies depending on RAM, drivers, the game, resolution, and settings. No game-specific protocols or documented FPS for this model are provided. It is best suited for older or less demanding games with reduced settings; this laptop is not recommended as a modern gaming machine.
- Examples of light games mentioned: Stardew Valley, Among Us, Terraria, 2D games, retro emulation, and browser games; check the requirements of the version.
- Minecraft: specify Java/Bedrock edition, version, mods, and textures; reduced settings may help, but performance cannot be guaranteed.
- Roblox: results vary depending on the experience and current requirements.
- League of Legends: check current requirements and test low settings.
- Counter-Strike: classic versions and CS:GO are not Counter-Strike 2; no promises can be made for CS2.
- Not recommended as a purchase target: current Fortnite, Call of Duty: Warzone, GTA V (version to be specified), Cyberpunk 2077, and Red Dead Redemption (title/version to be specified), as well as demanding AAA games.
These limitations do not mean that all titles are completely incompatible: choose based on the exact game and full configuration.

💡 Technician's Note: Internal Battery Under the Cover
This model uses a thin internal battery screwed in under the cover. Replacing it requires removing the screws and the bottom panel to access the battery; it is not an external battery with latches.
Completely shut down the laptop, unplug the charger and peripherals, then follow the maintenance manual corresponding to the model, using a suitable screwdriver and electrostatic precautions. Disconnect the battery before removing it, without pulling on the wires or forcing the clips. Once the compatible battery is installed and secured, reconnect it and reassemble the panel before plugging the charger back in. If in doubt, entrust the work to a technician; do not handle a swollen or damaged battery.
The time required depends on experience and the condition of the device. A compatible replacement can be an affordable way to extend the mobile use of this HP Ryzen 3 offered at $175, without promising the battery life of a new device.
Purchase, selection, and installation of an optional replacement battery are at the customer's expense; replacement is not included. Future battery life will depend on the battery chosen, the settings, and the use.
🛡️ 30-Day Limited Warranty
From the billing date, for internal hardware failures during normal use according to the store's terms.
Procedure and Recourse

Free repair of the covered defect, then an equivalent exchange in specifications and value if irreparable; store credit in the customer's name if no equivalent is available. No cash refunds according to the stated policy. Online returns at the customer's expense to Repentigny; in-store, bring the device and invoice.
