Just bought it for 2 weeks, it keeps asking you to restart. And finally it totally down for itself

This HP laptop was a great upgrade for my personal home use! It was super easy to set up following directions on screen upon start up. I was able to use my cloud account to transfer files/data from my old laptop to my new one in a quick process. It came with a charging cord and has multiple USB outlets as well as HDMI. It came with a free Microsoft trial program which was also easy to connect to. The keyboard is quiet and the mouse isn’t overall sensitive.
WiFi connection works great and the speed is satisfactory for my needs. I have used a few of the Microsoft programs and found all of them fairly simple to use. The picture is really clear and colors are very vivid. I’m pleased with it is lightweight making it easy to take with me while traveling. I like that it has the fingerprint id to prevent anyone else from getting access to my data. I have found the memory space to also be satisfactory for my needs as thus far. Overall I’m delighted with this HP laptop and the ease of getting it up and running on day 1!

I only had this laptop for a month and it’s already acting crazy it cut off and won’t cut back on at all it’s definitely a waste of money yes very affordable price but the quality is very poor so if you’re looking into buying one of these laptops don’t even waste your money or time

I wanted to run this laptop through its paces before I sat down to review it. I even let my mom test it out for a couple days. That said, this laptop “may” be good for senior citizens for some general web browsing but I would not wish this unit on students though. 4gb of RAM on a Windows PC is crawling. Using this laptop with this configuration really limits you to Chromebook functionality, and aside from web browsing and Word processing, your utility will be very limited. The display on this laptop is dull and very difficult to read. This is not a Chromebook and therefore should not act like a Chromebook. This is a Windows PC and you should be able to expect higher productivity. The build quality is flimsy and just a step above cardboard. The keyboard flexes when you type on it, the mouse pad is mechanical, and you feel it through every interaction. I would say that the price is its saving grace, but you can get a very functional and capable Chromebook that can do more than this Windows PC can.

To whomever is viewing this review, PLEASE do not get scared about the individuals saying this laptop is a slow, undesirable device. Simply, most of them have not or do not know how to rid the device of the pre-loaded bloatware which comes with it (standard practice for Windows machines). I am a guy who came from a $1400 M2 MacBook air which I thought for the money was just ok and opted for this device instead.
Let me TELL YOU, once you open the box, turn the power on and allow the pc to download all necessary updates (took me about 2 hours for me to just sit and wait painfully).. This device is then ready to be utilized in FULL Windows 11 mode (not 'S' mode which is by default for this machine), de-bloated and de-animated (maximum performance) before full functionality that most of these reviewers are not receiving simply because they have not taken the time or do not know how to perform these steps.
First to get out of the Windows 'S' mode, I recommend looking to the internet. Once out of 'S' mode, turn to the web browser (default Edge) and search for 'CC Cleaner'. This free program once installed on the machine will allow you to rid of all the bloatware programs (common Windows practice) that were installed on the device. Once the programs are all ridded of the bloatware, turn to the internet and see all the advanced Windows settings in regards to turning off unnecessary animations, game mode (not needed especially for this machine) and adjustments to the minimum processor speed for both battery and plug in. Once you turn off/tweak these critical settings, the device PERFORMS.
In conclusion, this HP 14" is a wonderfully designed, steal of a product once ridded of all the unnecessary junk and tweaked to a stress free experience.

I knew what I was getting when I bought this laptop considering the price. A couple of things I've noticed / done to make it a travel laptop that I won't worry about if it gets stolen / lost:
* Format the HD with Debian/Ubuntu as you soon as you buy it. I can't imagine using Windows on it considering the processor speed and memory
* I had to disable the trackpad and use a USB mouse. It seems that it's easy for the trackpad to stay pressed continually, at least on mine, making the computer unusable.
* Power / Suspend doesn't seem to work on mine. I had to disable suspend, so, when I close my laptop, it doesn't go into suspend mode. Not sure if it is a HW issue or SW, but, couldn't fix it.
I'm willing to accept these flaws considering why I bought the machine.
