Q: Does this computer have and DVD drive?
A: Yes, this laptop has a DVD-RW drive.
Q: What are the pros and cons of this laptop? Thank you.
A: This computer offers a very fast processor, 8 GB of DDR4 RAM, and tons of storage. It is a basic chassis, rather plain and simple. It has WiFi and Ethernet, BUT and this is a big but; it does not have the latest WiFi-AC or Bluetooth, and the Ethernet is 10/100 NOT Gigabit.
A: They're generic pics. I've seen those same pics used for several Best Buy HP listings. Annoying, yes. Inaccurate, yes. But...if you google "HP 15-AY173DX specs" and click on the HP.com link, you can get it from the boss. They have it listed with a burner...and, yes, it really does have a burner.
A: My hp laptop does not hold battery capacity! It loses its power very quickly once I unplug it. I've never been able to work on it if I can't plug in. The screen turns very lite and I can,t see it.
Q: Does it have a backlit keyboard?
A: NO Backlit keyboard
Q: Is this laptop Bluetooth enabled?
A: NOT integral Bluetooth, but you can use USB Adapter
Q: How much can the memory be extended from the 8gb?
A: This model has two DIMM slots, and should be expandable to 16 GB of DDR4. Make sure to match the memory speed and timings for best performance; try to get the same make and model, if possible.
