The HP Compaq 6720s is a laptop from HP's Compaq range belonging to a well-established generation of devices designed for basic productivity and everyday use, which has found in the Linux ecosystem a particularly efficient and functional second life thanks to the lightness and compatibility of modern GNU/Linux distributions with hardware of this generation. Aimed at users with basic computing needs, educational environments, users getting started with Linux or anyone looking for a functional low-cost device for simple tasks, the 6720s offers what is needed to cover basic use at a price that matches its specifications. Its Intel Celeron 560 processor running at 2.13 GHz provides sufficient processing capacity to run Ubuntu GNU/Linux smoothly along with the basic office, browsing and multimedia applications that make up the typical use in this equipment category. The 2 GB of SO-DDR2 RAM, while modest by current standards, is adequate for basic use under Linux given the lower resource consumption that GNU/Linux distributions demand compared to equivalent Windows systems. Storage is handled by a 120 GB SATA drive, with sufficient capacity for the installed Ubuntu operating system, essential applications and typical work files. The built-in DVD-RW drive adds the ability to read and write optical media, functionality still useful in certain usage contexts. The 15.4-inch LED display with HD resolution of 1280x800 pixels and 16:9 aspect ratio provides a comfortable viewing surface for basic document work, browsing and standard multimedia content. The installed operating system is Ubuntu GNU/Linux, a free, secure, stable and licence-free operating system that is particularly well suited to this type of hardware, offering a complete working environment for office tasks with LibreOffice, web browsing, email management and multimedia without the need for additional licences. It is essential to note that the battery of this device is depleted, meaning the laptop works correctly only when connected to mains power and offers no wireless autonomy, and should be considered exclusively for fixed use at a desk or for users who plan to replace the battery. A refurbished HP Compaq 6720s that is honest, functional and accessible for those who need a basic Linux device at the most competitive price on the market.
