Product Manuals
A: I have the same problem, i bought the laptop last week and suddently no more sound, the sound problem occured after some recent updates! I tried to reinstall the audio driver from the hp website but nothing seems to work. Looks like a defective model. I'll return the laptop
A: In a sense they were both correct. Yes, it does recognize DVDs, but no it will not (by default) play DVD movies. Windows 10 does not have a built-in player that will play movies, but you can either buy a program that does so or you can use the free software VLC to play them. Just make sure to keep VLC up to date as there was a security issue with it not that long ago (albeit you had to download subtitle files to get caught by it from what I remember).
Q: Do you recommend for new college students?
A: I like it. The price was right. I just got it about 2 weeks ago. The only thing I don't like about it so far is I feel I have to push the space bar with some force in order for it to register. Unless my hands are directly above the keyboard.
A: Thank you for reaching out. You could certainly do the swap yourself. I would hope that you are talking about swapping this 128 SSD for a 500GB SSD, if you put in a 500GB HDD you would have a very noticeable performance drop! This does have a USB 3.0 port.
A: Brooke, slowness can happen due to a number of issues: 1) Check network speed. Try a LAN line - always 2-3 times faster than wireless or check wireless speed from carrier. 2) Check temp files - need to get a good cleaner. Try Total PC Cleaner - a free app from Microsoft. Also try CCleaner from CNET. Also run Disk Clean from Microsoft. 3) Antivirus - sometimes too aggressive and can slow processing. Check Windows Defender settings? 4) Use CHROME and not EDGE - make sure cache size is large. 5) Limit # of open files and active programs. Minimize what you use simultaneously. 6) Run scan for malware and irritant objects. Use Malicious Software Removal Tool (MSRT) from Microsoft.
Q: Is this laptop good for streaming cable, netflix, etc.?
A: This laptop is a great choice. I use my laptop for streaming movies and shows all the time and it's really fast. You can even stream movies/shows really fast and smooth while simultaneously doing college work split screen. Its pretty cool.
Q: Does this come with Office Starter?
A: Office Starter was discontinued many years ago. Instead you use either Office 365, Office 2016 or the online free "lite" version of Microsoft Office.
Q: If i put a external hard drive...of 1tb.. it will still work the same??
A: The machine will work fine. The external drive will perform slower than the internal drive. The USB's on this machine seem to be somewhat sluggish.
