HP Laptop 15s-fq4577sa (Core i7-1195G7, 8GB DDR4) Review
HP Laptop 15s-fq4577sa, Intel Core i7-1195G7, 8GB DDR4-3200, 512GB PCIe NVMe SSD, 15.6 inch FHD micro-edge display, Wi-Fi 5, budget mainstream UK configuration.
A UK-market HP 15s configuration built on an older 11th Gen Tiger Lake platform — proof that the same '15s-fq' family name spans multiple CPU generations, not just one board.
Performance
Intel Core i7-1195G7 (4 cores/8 threads, 11th Gen Tiger Lake) with integrated Intel Iris Xe Graphics. This is an older platform than HP's current Core Ultra 15s-fq boards — same shelf name, different generation entirely, echoing the family's well-documented pattern of reusing model numbers across CPU generations.
Upgradability
8GB of DDR4-3200 ships as 2x4GB, filling both SO-DIMM slots — no free slot despite the memory being socketed rather than soldered. Storage is a single M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD slot, already filled by the 512GB drive shipped.
Battery life
41Wh 3-cell battery, HP-rated up to about 7 hours 15 minutes mixed use and up to 9 hours 15 minutes of video playback.
Display
15.6-inch 1920x1080 micro-edge, anti-glare panel at 250 nits. HP's spec sheet does not confirm panel technology (IPS vs TN) or refresh rate; assume standard 60Hz.
Design and ports
1.69kg. Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) via Realtek RTL8821CE-M with Bluetooth 4.2 — notably behind current Wi-Fi 6/7 laptops.
