Users benefit from multiple USB ports, HDMI output, and a built-in card reader, allowing easy connection to peripherals such as printers and external displays. In addition, integrated Wi-Fi and Ethernet capabilities ensure reliable internet access, essential for both work and personal use.

Battery life is also a consideration for mobile users. The CQ62 series generally offers decent battery performance, allowing for several hours of usage on a single charge, which is sufficient for most everyday tasks without the need for frequent recharging.

The design of the HP CQ62 laptops leans towards practicality, featuring a classic gray or black finish that provides a professional appearance. Its build is sturdy enough to withstand the rigors of daily use, although it may lack the premium materials seen in higher-end models.
