HP - 15.6" Touch-Screen Laptop - Intel Core i5 - 12GB Memory - 256GB SSD - Natural Silver

I waited several days to post a review, after reading some of the less than stellar reviews. All I can say is that there must be a few bad ones out there. The one I received is excellent. I'm not having any issues with WiFi, overheating, loud fans, or poor screen. In fact, I would say that it's exceeding my expectations. When it first started up, there was a time that the fans did spin up, but it was when it was downloading all of the updates that have occurred since the laptop was produced. But once all of the updates were complete, it's been nearly silent. Overall, this laptop is fast, quiet, stable, and has a great screen. The only minor complaint, which I knew about going in, was that it doesn't have a backlit keyboard. If I could swap out the touchscreen for a backlit keyboard, I would. But the styling, speaker sound, screen clarity are outstanding for the price point. The issues that others have complained about do not exist with my laptop. I would recommend that anyone that has had an issue with their laptop, exchange it for another one of the same model. This really is a great computer and you will be thrilled with it. It won't be a good gaming computer, but for business purposes or for general web surfing, photo editing, and document producing, you can't ask for much more for a sub-$600 laptop.

This laptop is such a great deal! I don’t do anything too demanding with my PC’s so I don’t require a lot of processing power, but I do want something that will keep up with technology for a few years. The i5 is a great 4-way processor that will hold up well. I got a good 9 years out of my last laptop equipped with one (it still works, it’s just getting slow for the times). Love the solid state drive; paired with windows 10’s efficiency, there’s practically no boot up time. I hit a button, input my pin, and I’m back at work. I also do a lot of multitasking: multiple chrome browsers with multiple tabs each, file manager, word, and excel are always open, so having that 12 gigs of RAM was essential!! It’s been several days and I haven’t had the had the slightest issue or hiccup with anything. I’m sure it could handle a little more too! It’s got a touch screen as well, not something I foresee myself needing much, if at all - hence why I opted not to go with the 360°, tablet 2-in-1 model. This model was over $200 less expensive and even packed in 50% more RAM. Anyway, for an average user, this PC is a great deal, and I’d highly recommend it!

Needed a backup for my PC, the price point for this laptop was spot on. This is my experience: First I updated to Windows 10 full version-the S version supplied did not meet my needs. -That update had no issues. Second-tested WiFI- i have a good wireless router and had no problems with WiFi connections, even at some distance. The Wifi router is a component you want to have a newer model that accepts the latest WiFi standards etc i believe. Fan noise- as another person reviewed, it ramps up when downloading/installing software, otherwise it was not noticed. So far, after 3 days of use, and installing various apps I am happy with this purchase. "This is a review of my personal experience so far".

I purchased this computer so I could work from home. I've always had a regular keyboard from a tower. The full size keyboard is really nice but takes getting used to since the key travel is shorter. (Accidently hit wrong keys while typing) The screen has good resolution and I'm not tired after staring at it for 8 hours. Speed is really good and connection to my wireless network is strong even at 60 feet away from the router. It only has 2 USB ports but I have a hub that extends it to 5. Battery life is 5+ hours of continuous use.

This computer has made my work-from-home life SO much easier! The screen is nice and big and the keyboard is as comfortable as a desktop, complete with number pad! I spring for the Microsoft Office Subscription so I have all the functionality I need without having to be on the Cloud, which give me peace of mind. I haven't really pushed it having a lot of apps open, but the speed has kept up with word processing, spreadsheets, and internet. It holds a charge well, last a long time, and is lightweight. SO happy with my purchase!

Like many people today we needed a computer that could meet the need to participate in ZOOM meetings five or six times each week. We also stream several hours each day. And it does that very well also. Not like several reviews it never exhibited a noise or heat problem. Good buy.

When you have an old laptop, just about anything is better - but I still did a lot of research on a fast processor and proper storage and this one checked the boxes and does not disappoint. Not using it for anything serious (gaming or programming) so for basic use, this is a great deal and I'm very satisfied.

Everything, I mean EVERYTHING, including some networking that never worked with my previous computer, worked RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX! I'm an old computer dinosaur, so it took me a bit to adjust to the touch screen. Once I got accustomed to it I came to the conclusion I would never own a computer without one. I added a wireless mouse and keyboard, and wired the laptop to my 78 inch OLED television. I could not be more pleased.
