Product Manuals

Q: Does this device really only have wireless N? Hard to imagine given N came out 10 years ago. I thought most laptops in 2017 had at least gone to wireless AC. I'm looking for a new laptop and this one had newer i5 chip but with only wireless N, No way.

A: The wireless card in this machine is TERRIBLE! I was getting 50mbps on a 100mbps connection. But with the i5 processor, 8gb ram, 1tb hdd, bluetooth, etc. I went ahead and made the purchase. I am very satisfied! I purchased a usb wifi adapter for $16 to combat the horrible factory card, and am now getting 111mbps wirelessly, which rivals my hardwired connection (120mbps). Very easy and cheap fix. Another retailer had a similar laptop with an AC wireless card but an i3 processor for $399. But a usb wifi adapter is cheaper than upgrading a processor, so I went with this unit. Pretty bad of HP to skimp so much on the wireless card in my opinion. Hope this info helps.

Q: can the ram be expended to 16 gigs

A: YES - i just had this computer open to upgrade the hard drive to a SSD. This model comes with 1 x 8 GB RAM module and has 1 open slot. Contrary to the other post on this question, it can be upgraded to 16GB. It isn't easy getting the case off but more experienced people can do it.

Q: Does it have a built-in camera for Skype calls?

A: Yes, this unit has a camera.

Q: Can you put windows 7 in instead of windows 10.

A: No, the laptop only comes with Windows 10 but you can purchase Windows 7 and install it yourself.

Q: Does it have a backlit keyboard

A: No, the keys on this model are not backlit.

Q: how much does it weigh

A: The weight is 4.98 lbs.

Q: How to reset this products password

A: There may be a way, I dunno, but it says very clearly in the instructions that this cannot be reset. You should have written it down.
