A:AnswerHi, and thanks for asking if this laptop would be suitable for gaming. To be honest, it's going to depend on what games you're looking to play. I don't think it's powerful enough for AAA games.
A:AnswerJust adding to HP's reply: you can also purchase an external camera. The variety and quality is usually much better than a built-in camera, although of course, this requires additional payment.
A:AnswerThank you for your question. Yes, Windows 11 does come with Microsoft Defender Antivirus. This antivirus runs automatically in the background, constantly scanning, detecting, and removing unwanted threats.
A:AnswerNo. There are a number of reasons why internal optical drives are largely unavailable, though they can still be found, mostly (but not exclusively) in "hardened" laptops that look (and weigh) like bricks and are used in construction, emergency situations, and the military. There are a number of reasons for this:
1. Modern laptops (and desktops) are pushing to be smaller and weigh less, with many companies advertising their computers as “ultra thin” or “easily portable.” Optical drives significantly add weight (about half a pound) and bulk (12 cm diameter)
2. Even Blu-ray discs top out at 128 GB, far below either HDDs or SSDs on a per-centimeter basis.
3. With the advent of cheap flash storage, fast network connectivity, cloud storage, software distributed via the Internet, and USB 3.0 (and now USB 3.1, doubling the raw link speed to 20 Gbps), integrated optical drives have largely become obsolete.
As mentioned in the other reply, should you need an optical drive, they are still available, at a modest cost, as external, portable units.
A:AnswerKrissie, thank you for your question on this HP laptop! IT does not have any of the Microsoft Office programs preinstalled on it, of which Excel is a part of. It comes with a 30-day trial of Microsoft 365 and you can purchase Excel as either part of the Microsoft 365 subscription or the Microsoft Office suite, which is a one-time activation.
A:AnswerThank you for your question on this HP laptop and its compatability with AutoCAD. This laptop does not fully meet the minimum requirements for AutoCAD, as it lacks a dedicated graphics card that has at least 2GB of video memory. AutoDesk recommends at least 16GB of memory of system memory along with a dedicated video card that has 8GB of video memory. You can find these in the HP Omen gaming laptops.
A:AnswerThank you for your question. This HP 15-fc0025dx laptop does not include an optical (DVD) drive, although you can connect an external USB CD/DVD drive. Windows 11 does not come with the classic Windows Movie Maker. However, you can still use a similar tool called Microsoft Clipchamp, which is included in Windows 11. Microsoft Clipchamp offers video editing features that can help you create and edit videos.
A:AnswerAccording to the "Features" section: "Wireless Networking Standard Wi-Fi 6." So you should be able to connect to pretty much any WiFi service. However, you will get the best speed if the modem also is capable of that standard (6).
A:AnswerAs noted elsewhere, "We recommend looking at the system requirements of the software you intend to use for DJing." Always. This will be found at the DJing website.
A:AnswerThe HP - 15.6" Touch-Screen Laptop - AMD Ryzen 5 - 8GB Memory - 512GB SDD - Natural Silver has 8 GB LPDDR5-5500 MHz RAM (onboard). The onboard memory cannot be upgraded as it is built onto the system board. There are no additional RAM slots.
A:AnswerHi there. Thank you for your question! The laptop does not come with a mouse included, but you may purchase a USB mouse or a wireless mouse that uses a USB wireless receiver separately for it. A wireless Bluetooth mouse will also be compatible with this laptop and can be purchased separately.
A:AnswerUnfortunately, there is no standard method of measuring battery life, the way there is, for example, CPU performance. This means it is impossible to compare one company’s computer’s battery use vs. another. Some manufacturers do provide details on how they measured it, but this is a rarity. The best way to find this information is to search out reviews by trusted tech publications, where they give detailed explanations of their procedures, as well as comparisons to comparable models.
A:AnswerJohan, thank you for your question on language settings! Yes, you can change the language to Spanish right in the Windows settings. It may have to download the respective language pack for you.
A:AnswerThank you for your question on this HP laptop! This will handle most schoolwork done by Microsoft Office or the Google suite. As for big games, this computer would need to be taken out of S Mode before installing any software aside from the ones in the Microsoft Store. Additionally, the games would have to be in low settings and would take more system memory to run the graphics. A good alternative that would give both school work and the occasional big game is the HP Victus gaming laptop: Those have dedicated graphics cards so you can play games in higher settings and run Windows 11 Home!
A:AnswerHello, thank you for your question on this HP 15.6" Touch-Screen laptop! The RAM on this model is not designed to be upgraded as it is soldered, though it can handle up to 16GB - if you'd like assistance with this matter, don't hesitate to reach out to your local Best Buy Geek Squad! However, the SSD can be upgraded up to 1TB and is accessible.
