I really like this computer for lightweight work. I bought it mostly to take with me to restaurants or libraries etc. because it's cheap enough I'm not worried about spilling drinks on it, or someone swiping it.
I didn't even bother trying Windows on it because Windows is not my favorite. I however did put Linux Mint 20.3 on it (non-Edge version), with encrypted LUKS storage. All the hardware is recognized out of the box, including the WiFi and Bluetooth. I reduced the amount of swappiness and switched the /tmp and /var/tmp filesystems to use the "tmpfs" to reduce the amount of churn on the eMMC storage.
There are only a few oddities so far: the keyboard occasionally will rapid-fire when you type a key. Sometimes have to restart the Bluetooth service. Also the trackpad sometimes just fails to respond. These are most likely Linux driver/firmware issues with this particular hardware most likely because it's cheap bottom feeder stuff. Sometimes "dmesg" shows some weird errors for ACPI and other subsystems. Sometimes it gets stuck in the LUKS unlock boot-up, requiring a Ctrl-Alt-Delete. But I can work with these quirks.
The battery life is PHENOMENAL, which it should be with a 6 watt CPU.
The screen is actually really good, too. And the speakers are rather good for this price-point.

The product was good but some times it not working properly. Some times it works more than I expected. The product was looking good and light weight easy to carry.

This is a GREAT laptop. Got a great deal as it was on sale. I used others reviews to decide. This laptop is fast, the speakers are fantastic! Lightweight. I got the Rosegold, and the matching wireless mouse. I can hook up with an hdmi to my Big screen. Navigates quickly. Everything loads quickly. I am thinking to get one for my family members. If your on the Fence?? JUMP and get this. Best HP laptop. My use: Movie Streaming/Music/Social medias/emails/online school (returning adult-grandma)

At this price point, it does what it says. One can’t really ask for more than that. However, I am looking to see if it delivers above this level of expectation. So far so good.

My rating for this product is 1.
This inexpensive and very basic laptop was slow in every regard, and had difficulty booting up and powering down. Fine for internet use only. Returned after 2 weeks of trying to use it.
