How we picked
How we picked: five listings in our catalogue state a weight of 1.75 kg, and all five are on this page, ranked by how complete and clearly described each configuration is. Three are HP business laptops; two of those are configurations sold by a reseller that configures laptops from other makers, which we label on each pick. The other two come from the smaller brands KAIGERR and MALLRACE. Where a listing leaves a spec out, we say it is not stated by the seller. Prices on this page are live: each one is read from the store listing and shown with the time it was read. Nobody at wikilaptop.org has tested these units; every comparison is drawn from the stated specifications.
How to choose
What 1.75 kg means to carry
A stated 1.75 kg sits at the heavier end of everyday carry, and four of the five laptops here use it for a 16-inch screen. That is a normal weight for a 16-inch laptop and fine in a backpack for a commute. The stated figure excludes the charger, so add it to your estimate. For a lighter frame, compare the 1.6 kg and 1.7 kg groups on this site.
Processor: check the exact model
The same frame can come with very different chips, so read the model, not only the brand. The picks here range from the AMD Ryzen 7 5700U to the Ryzen 5 220 and 230 and the Intel Core Ultra 7 255U. The KAIGERR listing names its processor only in the title, so confirm it before buying.
None of the five states a dedicated graphics card. Two listings call themselves gaming laptops; treat them as everyday laptops unless a graphics card is named.
Memory and storage
Four laptops here have 16GB of memory and one has 24GB. For office work and browsing on Windows 11, 16GB is comfortable. Every laptop here has 512GB of storage, which suits documents and apps but fills quickly with large media libraries or video projects. If you need more, check whether the maker's spec page lists an extra drive slot.
Buying from a reseller
Two HP laptops here are configurations sold by a reseller that configures laptops from other makers. Before buying, confirm the original maker and model, whether any parts were changed or added, which warranty applies (the maker's or the reseller's) and how returns and repairs are handled.
The same checks apply to the smaller brands KAIGERR and MALLRACE. We make no claims about their support because we have no source for it.
Windows 11 Home or Pro
The three HP laptops ship with Windows 11 Pro; the KAIGERR and MALLRACE state Windows 11. Pro adds business features such as BitLocker drive encryption and group policy, which matter if your employer manages the device. Microsoft's BitLocker documentation lists Pro, Enterprise and Education editions as the ones that support BitLocker enablement.
Questions
Is 1.75 kg too heavy for daily commuting?
Usually not. It is a normal weight for a 16-inch laptop and fine in a backpack. Add the charger to your estimate, and consider a lighter group, such as 1.6 kg, if you walk long distances every day. Four of the five laptops here have 16-inch screens, which is where most of the weight goes.
Is 512GB of storage enough?
For documents, office apps and a moderate photo collection, yes. Large video files, games or big project folders fill it faster. All five laptops here have 512GB, so if you need more, check the maker's spec page for a second drive slot or plan on an external drive or cloud storage.
What should I check when buying from a reseller?
Confirm the original manufacturer and model, whether any parts were changed or added, which warranty applies (the maker's or the reseller's), and how returns and repairs are handled. Two HP laptops on this page are configurations sold by a reseller; the HP EliteBook 6 G1a is listed under HP's own name.
How long will the battery last?
Only the MALLRACE listing states a capacity, 54.72Wh; the other four do not. Runtime depends on the processor, screen brightness and workload, so we give no hours. Every laptop battery of this size is well under the 100Wh per battery limit the TSA sets for lithium ion batteries, so air travel is not a concern. Check the maker's spec page for the capacity of the HP models.
Did you test these laptops?
No. Nobody at wikilaptop.org has tested these units. We compared them on the specifications stated on each listing and on Microsoft's published Windows information. We do not describe build quality, keyboard feel or battery life in hours, because those claims need testing we have not done.
