The HP 250 G9 costs £645 and uses the same i7-1255U as the £586.69 Acer and the £599.99 HP 14 — the third price for one chip, and the highest.

It is the last machine in this ranking for its record: twenty-four per cent of thirty-five buyers give it one star, its own specification says it has no webcam, and it lists a 1990s memory type on an integrated graphics chip.

## Questions people ask

**Why is the same chip £58 more than the Acer?**

Nothing on the page justifies it: both use the i7-1255U, and this one adds a Pro licence, a backlit keyboard and a worse record.

**Does it have a webcam?**

Its own specification says no, in a field called webcam capability, despite being listed for business use with Windows 11 Pro.

**What is wrong with the specification?**

The memory type is 72-pin EDO SIMM, from the early 1990s, and 16 GB of system memory is entered in the graphics card memory field.

**What do buyers say?**

Twenty-four per cent give it one star. One describes trouble with the licence code that the supplier resolved, which is the kind of thing to expect with a Pro licence sold this way.

**Was it in stock?**

No: the page said temporarily out of stock on the afternoon we collected it, so check availability before deciding.

**How many ratings does it have?**

35 at the time of collection, averaging 3.5 stars, with 47 per cent five-star and 24 per cent one-star.
