The HP 200 Series looks to be about as basic as it gets, which is to say that customers can have a baseline but effective laptop that offers 14- and 15.6-inch display sizes, preinstalled multimedia software and features, HDMI connectivity, Altec Lansing speakers, and Windows 8. It also sports HP 3D DriveGuard to protect from damage from bumps and drops.
