Whether you’re managing tasks, attending virtual meetings, or editing content, it delivers smooth, reliable performance. Built for everyday use, its sleek design balances work and play. With a 3-year manufacturer warranty available via HP Authorized Resellers, it’s the smartest tech investment and 2025’s top-ranked laptop.

Here’s Why the HP Laptop 15 Tops the Laptop Rankings in 2025

Performance. Performance. Performance.

Let’s start with what matters most: performance. This model is powered by an Intel® Core 5 processor 120U, supported by 8GB of DDR4 RAM and a 512GB PCIe NVMe SSD. In simple terms, it offers fast, responsive computing with enough power to manage multitasking, demanding office tasks, and creative work. Applications load swiftly, transitions are seamless, and the system remains stable even under pressure. Whether you’re coding, preparing documents, or editing media content, it maintains consistent performance without lag or slowdown.

Built for Endurance. Designed for Portability.

Weighing approximately 1.65 kilogrammes, the HP Laptop 15-FD1228TU strikes an excellent balance between size and capability. Its slim, durable design makes it ideal for students, commuters, and hybrid workers who move between locations. It fits easily into laptop sleeves and backpacks without taking up excess space. Despite its compact form, the battery life is notably robust — lasting up to 6 hours and 45 minutes on a single charge — a distinct advantage for those working or studying on the go

A Display That Delivers

The 15.6-inch full-HD display delivers higher resolution, vivid colour reproduction, and balanced contrast — perfect for both work and entertainment. The anti-glare coating reduces reflections in bright environments, ensuring a comfortable viewing experience wherever you are. With an 85% screen-to-body ratio and slim bezels, the design feels modern and immersive. Whether you’re attending a video call, creating content, or simply streaming, the display provides visual comfort and clarity without strain or distraction.

Connectivity Without Compromise

This laptop comes equipped with a wide range of ports, ensuring smooth integration with multiple devices. It includes two USB Type-A ports, one USB Type-C, an HDMI output, a headphone/microphone combo jack, and an AC smart pin charging port. This well-rounded setup enables users to connect external hard drives, displays, audio equipment and more without the inconvenience of additional dongles or adapters. Whether transferring files or setting up a workspace, staying connected is straightforward and efficient.

Made for the Modern Professional

In today’s hybrid work culture, built-in tools for communication are crucial. The HP True Vision HD webcam offers sharp image quality, while dual microphones with noise reduction technology ensure clear audio during virtual meetings. A physical privacy shutter adds an extra layer of security when the camera is not in use — a small but welcome feature. With Windows 11 Home pre-installed, users enjoy a refined interface and reliable performance straight from the box, along with security updates from Microsoft.

Highly Important Note on When Purchasing

While the HP Laptop 15-FD1228TU delivers excellent features and performance, HP also highlights the importance of buying from authorised resellers. The prevalence of grey market devices has led many consumers to prioritise cost over security — often overlooking the higher risks involved. Unauthorised purchases frequently come with limited warranty coverage, unofficial components, and little to no after-sales service. HP encourages buyers to consider long-term value, not just immediate savings, by choosing HP authorised resellers only.

Choose HP Authorised Resellers

Opting for an HP Authorised Reseller ensures peace of mind and long-term benefits. Customers receive a manufacturer-backed warranty with extended free third-year warranty coverage, plus access to certified technicians specifically trained on HP products. Only original HP parts are used for repairs, maintaining the reliability of your laptop. A genuine Windows OS also protects users from counterfeit software and its associated risks. Importantly, buyers can save up to LKR 25,000 over three years through reduced servicing costs and reliable after-sales support.

The HP Laptop 15-FD1228TU is a smart option for those in search of a reliable, high-performance device that meets the needs of today’s fast-paced lifestyles. It brings together user-focused features, capable hardware, and a lightweight build, making it well-suited for everything from remote working to creative projects. However, true peace of mind comes with making an informed decision. Choosing to buy from HP Authorised Resellers ensures you receive an original product, extended warranty coverage, and the HP-certified technical support that protects your investment long after you make the purchase. So, buy smart. Buy safe. Buy from HP Authorised Resellers.

In his address,Chandana L. Aluthgamaelaborated on how Sri Lanka is among the top ten countries most at risk from extreme weather events, according to the Global Climate Risk Index. With 81.2% of the population lacking adequate adaptive capacity for disasters, SLICGL’s partnership with NIOSH becomes even more vital. Furthermore, employers, in many cases, lack group health or occupational safety insurance policies to support their workforce. With a focus on creating climateresilient workplaces to protect workers from extreme weather conditions, the collaboration focuses on improving the resilience of workplaces, protecting workers from climateinduced risks and ensuring long-term financial protection in the event of workplace accidents or illnesses.

Key Benefits of the SLICGL-NIOSH partnership will ensure: Financial Protection for Workers: Comprehensive coverage for medical expenses ensures workers are financially protected during illnesses or accidents; Improved Worker wellbeing: Access to health benefits and compensation promotes a sense of security, morale, and job satisfaction, boosting employee retention; Increased Productivity: Healthy, protected workers perform better, which enhances overall productivity and workplace efficiency; Enhanced Safety Measures: Insurance incentives encourage businesses to implement better safety protocols, reducing risk and insurance claims; and Legal and Compliance Benefits: By ensuring worker safety, employers can minimize legal liabilities and comply with national and international regulations, boosting their corporate reputation.

The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Sri Lanka (CA Sri Lanka), the country’s premier national accounting body, submitted a set of comprehensive proposals for consideration in the upcoming government budget for the year 2025. These proposals aim to bolster Sri Lanka’s economic revival and growth trajectory while promoting governance, transparency, and accountability to restore public confidence in fiscal policy.

The proposals were submitted to Dr. Harshana Suriyapperuma, Deputy Minister of Finance and Planning on Thursday, 16^th January 2025, by Mr. Heshana Kuruppu, President of CA Sri Lanka, in the presence of Mr. Tishan Subasinghe, Vice President, Ms. Sarah Afker, Chairperson of the Faculty of Taxation, Mr. Saman Srilal, Alternate Chair, Members of the Faculty, and Ms. Lakmali Priyangika, Chief Executive Officer of CA Sri Lanka.

In alignment with international standards and to instill confidence among stakeholders, CA Sri Lanka emphasises the importance of efficient utilisation of public resources for sustained economic progress. The proposals highlight the need for robust policy planning and effective implementation to achieve long-term economic growth and fiscal discipline. Key recommendations include the introduction of a Tax Ombudsman, minimising cash transactions through accelerated digitisation, expanding bilateral and multilateral agreements, and revising administrative provisions. Additionally, the proposals stress the necessity of state sector reforms and advocate for the effective implementation of the Public Finance Management Act.

Reflecting the collective voice of its members and stakeholders, the recommendations submitted by CA Sri Lanka are the culmination of a series of consultations, as well as from the Annual Tax Oration, a two-day Economic and Tax Symposium, a public perception survey on Sri Lanka’s tax system, as well as from seminars and webinars, all dedicated to generating constructive suggestions on tax, policy planning and implementation.

Under Policy Planning and Implementation, CA Sri Lanka advocates for inclusive policy formulation by engaging industry clusters, trade associations, and relevant authorities to develop impactful policies. To ensure timely and effective implementation, the Institute proposes forming a dedicated task force comprising representatives from both the public and private sectors. A key recommendation is also the establishment of a Tax Ombudsman, an independent authority designed to address tax-related grievances fairly and impartially, thereby fostering taxpayer confidence. Furthermore, CA Sri Lanka calls for the reinstatement of a professional tax cluster to conduct regular reviews and provide feedback on tax policies, ensuring they remain adaptable and aligned with national economic goals.

In the area of Digitisation and Transparency, the Institute recommends minimising cash transactions by promoting digital payments and setting clear transaction limits. This shift will improve transparency and broaden the tax base. To support this transition, CA Sri Lanka emphasises the need for robust infrastructure and public training. Additionally, a Digital Integration Proposal is presented, advocating for a centralised national database that links citizen data across key institutions. This initiative would facilitate pre-filled tax returns, streamlining processes and enhancing accuracy.

Recognising the significance of international trade, CA Sri Lanka proposes Expanding Bilateral and Multilateral Ties by strengthening diplomatic negotiations to secure broader trade agreements. Such agreements will provide local entrepreneurs and products with a competitive edge. Expanding Sri Lanka’s tax treaty network is also recommended to attract foreign investment, alongside adopting the best international practices, such as Automatic Exchange of Information agreements, to elevate the country’s global standing.

For Administrative Reforms in Taxation, CA Sri Lanka suggests empowering the Commissioner-General of Inland Revenue to waive or reduce interest under justifiable circumstances. The Institute also recommends equalising interest rates on tax disputes and refunds, ensuring fairness by imposing interest only after the final determination of disputes.

State Sector Reforms was another cornerstone of the proposals, with recommendations to establish an advisory board for State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) to enhance governance and transparency. CA Sri Lanka also advocated the implementation of e-procurement systems for government procurement processes.

Lastly, under Public Finance Management, CA Sri Lanka recommends transitioning to accrual accounting standards in alignment with International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS). This transition will be supported by a detailed action plan, clear milestones, and adequate budgetary allocations. The Institute also highlights its qualifications in public sector financial management, positioning itself as a key partner in driving these reforms. During the meeting, Mr. Kuruppu also handed over the strategic plan of the Association of Public Finance Accountants of Sri Lanka (APFASL), which is the public sector wing of CA Sri Lanka, as well as the APFASL milestone review to the deputy minister.

Emphasising the Institute’s commitment, Mr. Kuruppu said that Sri Lanka stands at a critical juncture where economic revival and growth must take center stage, and CA Sri Lanka is deeply committed to supporting the nation through sound fiscal policies that prioritise sustainability, transparency, and accountability.

“These proposals reflect the collective expertise and insights of our members, who are at the forefront of Sri Lanka’s accounting and financial ecosystem. We believe that by addressing immediate challenges, such as fostering inclusive policy planning, accelerating digitisation, and reforming the public sector, we can set the stage for a resilient and prosperous economy,” he said

Furthermore, Mr. Kuruppu added that the recommendations submitted by CA Sri Lanka not only seek to address current fiscal challenges but also lay the groundwork for long-term economic stability and growth. “Together, we can ensure a more equitable and transparent fiscal environment for all Sri Lankans,” he added.
