Bought this for my daughter to start college with. She loves it. Its fast and has all the features she needs. You can use a sd card for more memory. Got this computer at a great price which helped narrow it down when we were checking computers out. My son works in the IT dept of another college and he recommended it also.

If you wanted a fast computer that is super portable without breaking the bank, this is it. Pen input, touch, full HD, good I/O, sleek design. I absolutely love this computer.

So I'll start this by saying I had this laptop for a month but it didn't fit my needs. Pros: - Discrete Graphics - I7 performance with lower price thanks to Ryzen 7 - Above Average Sound Quality - Fantastic Build Quality, Sleek Design - Backlit keyboard w/ numberpad Cons: - Battery Life - HP Bloat - Not really portable - Too big for 2 in 1 design So I just started grad school and needed a portable laptop because I was commuting. I thought at 15" would be fine but I quickly learned it wasn't so I exchanged for the smaller 13" version which came with its own headaches. This thing is a powerhouse for its pricepoint because of AMD's APU (Graphic Card and Processor) combination. Looks fantastic, feels great to type on, although the keyboard is off center to accommodate a number pad. Screen quality left a little bit to be desired. I feel the 2-in-1 design is wasted on a 15" because of how heavy it is. Switching from tablet mode to laptop mode was quite a hassle. If you want to buy this to sit on a desk and to use as a laptop, its great. If you want something portable, get a 13" device.

First off, I specifically wanted a Ryzen laptop with Vega integrated graphics. I have a gaming computer, so I just wanted something I could easily carry with me and get in a little World of Warcraft. The Vega 10 will play WoW at recommended settings (around 3ish) and keep 45 to 60 FPS depending on where you are. Very playable. I have not tried Overwatch yet. The screen is very sharp and has good color representation. I have benchmarked the Ryzen 7 next to a Intel i7 - 6700HQ (which is the 45W chip) and they were almost identical. As far as performance, its great but the first thing you should do is consider adding more memory. It comes with 8 gigs, which is usually enough, but 2 of that is dedicated for the graphics so you really only have 6 usable. If you don't have plans for high memory applications that would be enough. There is a bonus to adding more memory and that is a little more speed out of the CPU and Graphics. It comes with 1 8 gig chip installed and an open slot. Great for upgrading, but bad for performance because it is only running single channel memory. You don't have to match the 8 (I put in a 16) but only the size of the smallest chip will run in dual channel, so its best to at least match the 8. The windows Ink is cool, and I have used it some. It doesn't come with its own pen, but the Wacom Bamboo Ink works well, and they go on sale every so often. I mostly use the pen for editing photos in Photoshop in tablet mode. This laptop works great that way. The keyboard is great to type on and is very comfortable, but the track pad is only just fair. It works but it doesn't have as good of a feel as the keyboard. The overall constructive feels very solid and ridged. Its is not as light as some other 2-1 type laptops, but you are getting a lot with the weight so its a fair tradeoff.

This laptop is F A S T, I bought this laptop for the touchscreen. I use it for sketching and drawing when I feel creative. It is lightweight, very responsive (I use a Wacom Ink stylus) and did I mention fast?! The onboard AMD Radeon RX Vega 10 with 8 GB ram is a killer graphics chip and as it is teamed up with the Ryzen 7 2700U processor... I feel it can get through just about any process an Enthusiast could come up with.
