HP laptops are one of the most popular among Nigerian students. This is partly due to their beautiful designs and affordability. Although HP laptops are not exactly known to be very durable, the HP brand has lasted the test of time in Nigeria.

The fact that these laptops are considered the best laptop brands in Nigeria does not necessarily make them the best brands in the world. There are other laptop brands that have some wonderful attributes which might not be very valuable to the Nigerian PC user
