HP has solutions to fit every dorm room scenario, whether you need a powerful computer, vibrant monitor, efficient printer, or reliable peripheral. The right study tools can turn your dorm into a powerhouse of productivity. From laptops to monitors, HP's cutting-edge solutions can enhance your learning journey.
The importance of having the right gear to start the semester cannot be understated. To succeed in college, you can bet on needing a reliable printer (perhaps for any roommates to use as well), a powerful laptop or desktop PC for any assignment, and a headset for any virtual class or gaming outside of homework.
First, let's look at the tools that will help you excel in your studies.
TheHP Pavilion (15t-eg300) laptop provides smooth multitasking with an Intel® Core™ i7-1355U processor, capable of speeds up to 5.0 GHz. Along with 16GB of memory and the speedy 256GB solid-state drive (SSD), you can tackle your coursework with ease.
Plus, Intel Iris® Xe Graphics and the 15-inch 1,920 x 2,160 pixel IPS display ensure vibrant visuals and sharp clarity, keeping you engaged during long presentations or study sessions. But if that’s not enough, don’t worry - you can customize your HP Pavilion (15t-eg300) laptop for even more power and flexibility.
For more processing power, you can upgrade to an Intel Core i7-1360P, which features an additional 2 cores and 4 threats to tackle more resource-heavy activities. Or, if you’re a gamer, you can upgrade to an NVIDIA® GeForce® MX550 graphics card for a little more visual oomph.
Need more storage? You can customize that too - choose from two additional SSD sizes: 512GB and 1TB. You can even customize the display with WLED backlights, BrightView technology, and even add touch functionality. There’s plenty of options for any type of student.
TheHP DeskJet 3755 all-in-one printer is your companion for academic success in tight dorm spaces. Compact and wireless, the printer's real value comes from its multifunctionality - it's not just a printer, but a scanner and copier too.
