In this day and age of smart phones and tablets with ever growing screen sizes, we may find that using one of those devices is not only more convenient and readily available for us to use. Our mobile devices today are much more capable than they used to be and we find ourselves doing more on them everyday. As capable and convenient these types of devices may be, there are those times where every once in awhile that we may need to use a more traditional computer like this one. You could be a writer, for instance, who wants to write a book or even a student who has a report due to his or her teacher who may find typing on a smaller device cumbersome. This is a good laptop for those people who want to get work done a little faster and efficiently. A general use laptop such as this will get the job done for those of us who still do a good amount of office or school work on a regular basis. It isn't the type of laptop for a gamer or other heavy user such as a photo or video editor. This is just a very basic laptop with a bare bones processor that should handle most light duty tasks with no problem. The first thing you definitely need to do upon setup is to get it out of "S Mode" which is a watered down version of Windows 10 that only is capable of using apps directly from the built in Windows store. You absolutely cannot run traditional Windows applications, such as Google Chrome, Firefox, or any other regular application that you may have on older computers unless you disable "S mode." Luckily, at least at the time of this review, removal of S Mode is free on the Windows app store. The keyboard and trackpad are "decent" at best but I found that at times, certain keys didn't show up making me press the key harder and the trackpad didn't always accurately track the pointer either. I ended up returning the laptop not specifically because of these issues but mostly because my 10.1 inch tablet with detachable keyboard does all this and more and then some. This has been the case for me for years and had stopped using computers like this for that very reason. I just don't have any need to use a traditional computer anymore.

The laptop is great, not too heavy and works just fine for everyday needs, school, work etc Very affordable also!

This HP is it. First of all the price was perfect for my pocket. AND it what I needed. I am on my laptop daily for work and personal duties. Its so light i forgot its on my lap. Lol. The memory is good for what I do daily. And the storage is what i needed to keep my files and budgets intact. This Rose Gold is so pretty. I love it. I will be purchasing another HP but BLUE for my youngest son for high school. A great purchase.

I love my laptop it is a very good basic laptop at a reasonable price I use it for paying bills, shopping on line and many more things and I have not had any problems with it and I am using it everyday thanks HP for my friend my laptop color is a pearl white

It worked well in the beginning but after a month it started moving slower than ever, I wouldn’t recommend this laptop, I also kept having issues with storage and always had to delete things. It did the job for a short period of time.
