HP Essential is a trademark used by Hewlett-Packard to denote their entry-level, inexpensive laptops using the Microsoft Windows operating system, produced since 2009. Products under the "Essential" moniker include the HP Laptop series [1] and HP Notebook series, as well as products simply branded as "HP".
