HP - Laptop / AMD E-Series Processor / 15.6" Display / 3GB Memory / 320GB Hard Drive - Charcoal Gray

Kso originally I wanted to purchase the Toshiba satilite online, but I walked into bestbuy today and bought this. I've done my share of research trying to find the right lato at a rght price and believe it or not I don't regret ending up with this one. It's fast, fairly attractive, and picks up wifi signal better than my other laptop. I can't believe it. The keys are alright. I'm still trying to get used to it. But this laptop is too good for the price!! At first I disliked it and I assumed it was slow and couldn't reach the same level as my other laptop but however it has proven me wrong. If you need a laptop just for everyday use and even some temperary use I totally recommend this. Also you get the antivirus software at $19.99. Anyways the casing is nice. This screen looks good. It isn't slow and annoying, its wifi ability is beyond. My other laptop is using the sam wifi network but the signal is fair while the signal on this one is excellent. This laptop totally proved me wrong. The fan is quiet and it doesn't heat up at all, which is pretty much awesome. I just prefer the keyboard on my other hp laptop and touch pad. But whatever I'll get used to it. Buy it if you're on a budget and need something that can get you through the day.

I have owned so many laptops that I lost count- from high end to cheapies. For my summer help, I usually buy cheaper priced laptops because I need to keep my overhead down. I had bought another well-known brand for this exact price, and it had a faulty WLAN card out of the box. The plastic was brittle and the keyboard felt like a toy. Rather than wait two weeks for warranty service, I bought this for my employee to use, because a backup laptop is a good thing to have around. Let me tell you- this is built like a laptop twice the price. The keyboard is great for this price point, the mousepad is not overly sensitive, and it runs fast and quiet. Unlike other companies who give you a 60 day trial for MS Office, you get Office Starter for free. No need to get a license for Word or Excel! I can assure you will not find a better new laptop in this price range. Trust me, I have tried them all.

I just bought this a couple days ago, so I will re-review it again after I have had it for some time to be fair. The first things I have noticed about it is that the track pad doesn't always respond right away. I'm not sure why they made it the texture it is, but it takes some getting used to. I prefer the smooth texture to the rough one. Also, I do not like the mouse buttons, they feel cheaply made and I wonder how long before one of them breaks. The keyboard is also rather cheaply made, but I knew how it was before I bought it. I usually buy the higher end laptops, but since I was buying this for my son, I feel that it was a good deal for the price. He seems to be enjoying it and has watched a movie on it, and played an online game.

I bought this laptop over the cheaper compaq and I am glad that I did. I use this laptop to keep me occupied during my overnight shifts, using netflix, facebook, online games etc. etc. By day I this laptop is a work horse, allowing me to use quick books over a remote server, hooked up to a separate monitor allowing me to expand my desktop over the two screens helping me to maximize my speed and proficiency, or allowing me to slack off a little more by watching netflix on one screen and working on my laptops. Great buy I would recommend it to anyone. For those of you looking else where because of the reviews on the keyboard and mouse pad, don't, those people must have forgott how much they spent.

I initially purchased the Toshiba - Satellite Laptop with Intel® Core™ i3 Processor that was on sale for $379; which just happened to be a piece of junk. After owning that laptop for 3 days I knew I could not keep it. I returned it for this one and must say so far I am very pleased and it was even 50 bucks less. I can honestly say I have yet to find a con. The speakers are decent, nice screen and the speed is as good as to be expected for a low end computer. The mouse pad is a little tricky, however I think it's just a matter of getting use to. There is no side number keys to the left, but once again.... no biggie for me. If you're looking for a computer for back to school or just for casual use I would say this is the perfect computer at the perfect price. I am very happy with my purchase.... yay me!

Through work, I have used MAC's for 15 years. I was EXTREMELY nervous about getting a PC, as even though I am computer literate, I had no prior experience with any of the Windows OS. I needed an inexpensive, yet quality laptop for home. This computer was it. For the price (349) there is no other machine that comes close. I have done extensive research on HP systems, and this laptop is phenominal. All my fears of Windows was put aside the minute I turned it on, as Windows walks you through everything. The only drawback, if I need to list one, is that the mouse pad and the right and left buttons seem a little less than high quality, however it is just something to get used to.

Just got it last night. From what I have read this uses an AMD E processor which has graphics on the processor instead of a separate card. I didn't how how much difference that would make on the heat generated by the laptop. IMHO it makes a BIG difference. After a few hours of use, it was only barely warm in one small area on bottom. Much different than last laptop I had. Otherwise seems to be an ok machine. Keyboard does seem cheap, but I suppose will serve as long as not pounded on. Track area does have a rough texture, but I kind of like it better than smooth, just personal preference.

I purchased this laptop at the end of June after extensive research. Before this I was using a 2 yr old Acer mini which could no longer hold a charge, the USB ports didn't work at all, downloading and trying to save anything was risky, and the speakers were shot. About the only thing it was really good for was very basic internet use. I set out to find the cheapest (under $500) laptop that had at least the following specs.- 15.6" in. screen, DVD drive, and sufficient memory for documents, and a fast processor because I attend college online. This laptop was perfect. The first week it ran slow, and my Netflix crashed. I was worried I may have made the wrong choice, but I found out it was the anti-spyware I had downloaded. I reset the laptop to factory settings, and now use my Media Center for Netflix. I've had 0 problems since.n Battery life is great and speakers are decent.
