This is a good laptop for my son to work on the school assignments while at home. The 64GB is sufficient as he does not store files locally and works mostly off his google classroom. 8GB RAM is sufficient to make sure the laptop is zippy for the day to day needs.
For the price its a great purchase with a fantastic display

Details

This is a very basic laptop which will serve the purpose of kids using it with school work and that's what my son got it for. The display is pretty good with HD (1366 x 768) and microedge. The operating system is windows 11 home edition. The laptop itself looks to be well made with quality plastic and its light weight with just 3.2lba
The battery life seems to be decent and it has the HP fast charge capability with 0 to 50% in 45 minutes which i think is pretty decent
The laptop also includes a 720p camera for zoom calls for school
Overall for the price, i would buy it in a heartbeat.

With just 4GB of RAM, this won't set any land speed records, but for casual use and school work, it is more than adequate.
It's lightweight enough that it doesn't weigh down a backpack and feels well-made so I'm not worried about taking it on trips. The hinge is firm but I am still able open with one hand.
Navigating online was quick with pages loading quickly. Videos played without any trouble and the screen was adequate.
I did some work with Excel and Power BI and it's fine for creating smaller spreadsheets, but downloading and navigating through larger data sets definitely put the computer under some stress. Creating and viewing Powerpoint and Word documents was problem-free.
I was able to do some light photo editing on Photoshop Express, but large files or heavy edits slowed the machine down. Any of the full-featured pvideoor video editors aren't going to run on this barebones on a system.
For most students and casual users, this laptop is a perfect solution without sinking a lot of money into a system with more power than they need.
