Q: Does this have a DVD player?
A: This item has a DVD player.
A: The laptop does not have a backlit keyboard.
Q: This computer is advertised as a laptop but is a Notebook. What is the difference?
A: Good question. The terms laptop and notebook are interchangeable. They mean the same thing. I hope this helps.
Q: Is this computer loaded with Windows 10 or upgraded to windows10?
A: This laptop comes preinstalled with Windows 10 operating system.
Q: does this system come with a power adapter for 220-240v
A: Am I misunderstand something here? Are you talking about the plug in? Plug in for 220-240V is different in many European Country, you just buy one at the airport. After that answer my question is, can I charge this laptop with the right plug in also with 220-240V? I believe the answer is YES, I've never seen a device who does not... Thanks for clearing this!
Q: Does this have a Buil-in Camera to go with the speakers
A: Yes, this model has a built-in webcam.
A: Just to follow up on this - the HP rep, in response to customer question about changing the hard drive to an SSD, clearly indicates that the hard drive IS in fact user replaceable and even points you to the service manual. When you get the back off this unit to access the hard drive, the memory chips are right in front of you (one 4GB, one 2GB). In other words, the user can change the hard drive, so yes, of course they can access the RAM. In the attached photo, the hard drive has been removed (lower left), and the DVD drive is removed (upper right) prior to snapping the bottom off. There are a number of the screws on the bottom to remove - plus (2) screws inside the battery compartment, and (2) more under the rubber feet near the screen pivots (you'll have to peel off these feet). This is a very cheap notebook chassis - very apparent once the machine is open. I would imagine the money saved in the cheap chassis went towards the i5 CPU, instead of the i3. The machine does, however, fly with a solid state hard drive, well worth the upgrade.
A: 5th generation chip. AKA old and already outdated.
