HP - 17.3" Laptop - Intel Core i3 - 8GB Memory - 1TB HDD - Natural Silver

I found the set up easy with the with the computers verbal instruction guide. I was up any running without a hitch. I really like the silver color and the the buttonless mouse pad. The large 17.3" screen makes work tasks easier on the eyes and watching videos or movies more enjoyable. The screen is fastened with one long hinge as opposed to two individual hinges, which I have found to break over time on other computer products. Great product!

We bought the HP laptop to replace a much older Dell. We liked the size of the scree, the available memory and the storage of the hard drive. We liked that it has an Intel Core. This laptop is much faster than what we had and it runs all of the software like Microsoft 365 our family uses.

Wonderful !! I like it so much, I like the screen that’s what I want it !!

Slowest freaking computer smh Geesh my chrome book wayyyyyyyy faster. Definitely not worth $513. Waste of money and time.

This is a very good computer. I've had the computer for 2 days and I already love it. The only thing I can say is it did appear to be much slower than the chromebook I use to have. When I initially started the computer , it was the first think I noticed. But remember a chromebook is not a "computer". A chromebook is basically an android tablet put with a keyboard with a chrome system installed. Chrome web is known for being quick so you are gonna get quick web search. With that being said, Microsoft edge web browser on this hp laptop kind of sucks. So I downloaded chrome app to use as my default web browser. I use this computer mainly for work ( I'm a teachers assistant ) and for school ( college student ). Long story short: If your going to use the lap top for such uses like mine, you should be good. By the way, if you have slow internet, this computer won't work. Having high speed internet is crucial for making this computer run. It's a decent computer for the price. As the usual saying " You get what you pay for ". The more you spend, better quality. It's a 500 dollar computer. If you want top notch than you are looking at spending at least 1000 and up. Don't complain if your not spending the money on a high end computer. Quick tips: Buy the insurance for lap top. If anything happens you will be protected. My chromebook fell cracked screen and was unrepairable. Geek squad gave me the full amount best buy store credit. I used the gift card towards my new hp lap top. So yes, insurance definiteley worth it. Also, protect your computer. Buy a computer sleeve cover and case. And keep it out of reach of children. I hope you enjoy your new hp!

For the price there is nothing better. I bought a second i3 machine for my wife today. The windows 10 setup and windows update process is agonizing. But after the 4 to 8 hours of sluggish performance, the i3 laptop is just as fast as an i5 desktop or an i7 laptop for light computing (word processing, spreadsheet calculations, and video streaming). I own both an i5 and i7 machines; so the comparison is first hand. The light weight, bright screen, and beautiful feel of the keyboard make the computer a delightful portable. I wonder if the negative reviews of others, which complain of slow performance, were based on the four hour plus windows setup and update period, when the computer cannot be used for anything. Which brings us to Windows. Windows update is a curse to anyone trying to get work done. Each Thursday night, Windows sends out hundreds of megabytes of updates, which are downloaded and installed. And during the installation, Windows slows down and sometimes even turns off the internet until it reboots, finalizing the installation. The horrible design of the Windows Kernel belies the constant need for updates to maintain the integrity of the system. Still, I use Windows for work day in and day out. Why use such a horrible system? No choice! 1) Almost every program works flawlessly with windows. 2) The file system and the command processor are not case sensitive, which is much more convenient than than Linux or Mac. 3) Visual Basic for Applications, when combined with Excel, is the greatest tool for data analysis ever written. 4) Since Windows is almost the universal platform, work can be delivered to almost any computer. Linux is close, but it just is not there yet for universal usage. And so I (we) put up with Windows updates. By the way, after more than 4 1/2 hours windows is still updating on my wife's new i3 computer. With all new computers, I force all the updates at once using "Check for Updates."

This laptop is nice. It’s flat and easy to carry. The only problem I have is that it runs slow. Maybe it’s the WiFi in my home. Other than that it’s a nice laptop with a lot of features.

I purchased this computer for my Mother in law. At first, the computer was a little aloe, but after the 4+ hours of updates things ran much faster. The only thing I didn't like about the computer at first was the INCREDIBLY slow boot up times. I'm talking like 4+ minutes. After uninstalling all unnecessary software/ bloat ware boot time went down to just over 3 minutes which still sucks. Finally I uninstalled McCaffe antivirus and installed Total 360. This made the boot time a respectable 40 seconds. All in all the computer is decent, but the bloat ware needs to be uninstalled to make it useable in my opinion
