Customer Ratings & Reviews

This silver HP15 notebook has a lot of potential (and good bones as I say).  It's based on Intel's i7 1355U CPU, 10 Cores and 12 Threads (2 Performance Cores w/4 Threads, running from 1.7 GHz to 5.0 GHz Turbo and 8 Efficient Cores w/8 Threads running from 1.2 GHz to 3.7 GHz Turbo). Its multi thread rating is 14590 and single thread rating is 3471. Typically consuming 15W but peaking at 55w.  It's a power efficient processor that has been popular in mid to high-end notebooks.  It weighs 3.5 pounds.  With a 1920x1080 HD touch screen. This HP15 does not have a dedicated GPU, instead offering Intel's iRISxe GPU.  IT also does not have a backlit keyboard (which I think a notebook in this price range should have). It also does not have an Ethernet port or a SDcard reader.  It has two USB 3.0 USB-A ports and one 3.0 USB-C port and 1 HDMI 1.4 port (w/HDR). It has a headphone/mic jack.  It supports Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.3 (not 5.4). It has a 720P camera with a physical camera shutter (Also I think the camera should be 1080P at this price).  It integrates Microsoft Copilot with a Copilot key. And you can quickly mute the microphone with the F6 key (love this feature).  The USB ports are all limited to 5Gbps, not 10 w/USB 3.1 or 20 w/USB 3.1 v2, it does not support outputting to a USB monitor via the USB-C port.  It has a nice trackpad. The back of the monitor is a silver plastic as is the keyboard base, the bottom of the computer is a lighter weight gray plastic.  The back can easily be removed by removing 4 screws (good/easy). Intel's iRISxe GPU is a big improvement over older Intel integrated graphics processors, it can handle light gaming at lower settings. It is fine for basic video editing and creative tasks and for browsing the internet.  It's energy efficient; it is not suitable for high-end gaming. It should get about 7 hours of usage on battery power.  It comes with a unremarkable Samsung Gen 4x4 PM9C1 SSD; spec'd to have max seq writes at 4950 MBs and reads at 2500 MBs.  It supports DDR4 memory 3200 MT/s. It comes with 16GB (2x8GB SODIMMs).  The SSD and Memory are removable/replaceable.  This is why I acquired this notebook; to upgrade it. I did the initial set up and upgrades with the base hardware.  Windows Home 11 requires you to have a Microsoft account to log into. I went through a HP BIOS upgrade and needed at least 3 "updates" to get all of the Microsoft updates. I'm replacing the SSD with a much faster 2TB Orico SSD rated at 7400 seq reads and 7000 seq writes, of which I got 7032 reads and 6348 writes. And I will upgrade the memory to 64GB with G.SKILL Ripjaws DDR4 (2x32GB) 3200 MT/s CL22.  To clone the SSD you must disable Windows 11 BitLocker (Encryption), with Windows 11 Home this is slightly more complicated but doable.  The Samsung SSD tested out at 4440 reads and 2105 writes (CrystalDiskMark8).  This is about 30% slower than the Orico SSD.  Both my memory and SSD upgrades went smoothly. The notebook runs a little warm, you can feel that the left side of the keyboard and palmrest is warmer than the right side. But it has a very nice screen and it's FAST and only 3/4" thick. The keyboard is just ok, there is a little bit of give, and the island keys have a cheap plastic feel to them, with a so-so key travel (And I've become used to having a backlit keyboard).  With the faster SSD and some configuration changes browsing the internet with either Edge or Chrome (via WiFi 6) was very fast.  I did some audio editing and it was smooth and fast.  The speakers are adequate.  I usually edit with a BT connection or using headphones/earbuds, both of these worked very well.  I do astrophotography where I stack hundreds of night photos.  This is why I needed more memory.  The application I use is not so GPU intensive as it is memory intensive. Loading and comparing hundreds of images can only be done efficiently with lots of memory.  This computer's i7 processor handles this pretty efficiently.  I processed a stack of about 100 images in just over 2 minutes 40 seconds.  My older notebook (2 years old (i7 w/48Gb memory)) took just over 5 minutes.  So this notebook, as upgraded, will be faster; partially because SSDs have gotten faster.  When Gen5 SSD's and notebooks come down in price I'll likely upgrade again.  But for now this is not a bad compromise (once upgraded).

I ordered this laptop to send to my country when the item arrived they found a Lenovo and bestbuy doesn’t accept to refund me the difference for the Lenovo.

Item did not have what was listed on Best Buy site

Highly satisfied with this purchase. The HP 15.6" Full HD touch-screen laptop delivers fast, reliable performance thanks to the Intel Core i7 (13th Gen), 16GB of memory, and a responsive 512GB SSD. The large, clear display and touch-screen functionality enhance productivity, while the sleek Natural Silver design adds a professional look. It handles multitasking, work, streaming, and everyday computing smoothly, making it a dependable and enjoyable laptop. Overall, an excellent purchase and great value for the features offered.

My mac book that i’ve had since high-school stopped working so I got this one and it works great so far. I love that it’s touchscreen and has a large keyboard and is very light weight so it is great for bringing to campus whenever I need. It is also pretty fast and keeps up with the countless amounts of tabs I often have open.

I’ve been using the HP 15.6” Full HD Touch-Screen Laptop for a few months now, mainly for work and light creative projects. The Intel Core i7 processor and 16GB of memory make multitasking effortless, and programs load quickly thanks to the 512GB SSD. The touchscreen is a pleasant surprise — much more accurate and smooth than I expected, making navigation and quick edits a breeze. On the downside, the battery life isn’t as long as I’d like, especially when running multiple tabs and streaming video. The fan can also get a bit noisy under heavy loads, which is noticeable in quieter environments. That said, the lightweight design and bright, clear display make it great for working on the go or even streaming movies at home.

I upgraded my laptop for college and this met every requirement. It has a touch screen, I don't really use. But has good storage, huge screen, fast, battery life isn't the greatest when writing papers or doing course work. 3-4max Charger plug is a 3prong. Chargers quickly so it give me an excuse to take backs. I love this laptop. For the price, it is amazing

’ve been using this HP 15.6" laptop for about a month now, and it’s exceeded my expectations. The Intel Core i7 and 16GB of RAM make multitasking effortless—whether I’m working on spreadsheets, editing photos, or streaming in Full HD, everything runs smoothly. The touch screen is responsive and adds a nice layer of convenience, especially for casual browsing and media control. The 512GB SSD provides super fast boot-up times and plenty of storage space for my files and apps. Battery life is solid, lasting me most of the day with moderate use. The design is sleek and lightweight, making it easy to carry around. And the Natural Silver finish gives it a clean, professional look. Pros: Powerful performance with i7 and 16GB RAM Crisp and responsive Full HD touch display Fast SSD with ample storage Stylish and lightweight Cons: No backlit keyboard (would’ve been a nice touch) Speakers are decent but could be louder If you're looking for a solid all-around laptop for productivity, entertainment, and light creative work, this is a great choice. Highly recommended!

I absolutely love my new HP 15.6" Touch-Screen Laptop! From the moment I turned it on, I could tell the Intel Core i7 processor and 16GB of memory were going to make a huge difference. Programs load almost instantly, and multitasking between work apps, video calls, and streaming is effortless. The 512GB SSD gives me plenty of storage while keeping everything running fast and smooth. The touch screen is responsive and makes scrolling, zooming, and navigating feel natural. The HD display is crisp and clear, perfect for movies and editing photos. The keyboard is comfortable to type on for long hours, and the Natural Silver finish gives it a sleek, modern look that feels high-end. I’ve used it for both work and entertainment, and it hasn’t disappointed once. Lightweight enough to take on the go, yet powerful enough to handle demanding tasks. I would definitely recommend this laptop to students, professionals, and anyone looking for a reliable, stylish, and fast computer.

I’m really happy with my HP laptop. The build feels solid and feels like a premium device, yet it’s not overly bulky. Performance has been excellent it boots up fast, runs all my programs smoothly, and handles multitasking without lag. For everyday tasks like browsing, emailing, document editing, and streaming, it’s more than capable. Battery life lasts a decent amount of time, which is very convenient for portability. The screen is clear and bright, making it comfortable for work and media. Overall great value, very dependable, and I’d recommend it to anyone who wants a versatile, reliable laptop for everyday use.

Excellent laptop: fast, lightweight, and with great battery life. The screen looks sharp, the keyboard is comfortable, and the performance is perfect for work or study. Highly recommended.

I am very happy with this laptop. It is fast, easy to use, and the battery lasts a long time. The screen looks very clear and the keyboard is comfortable. It works great for work, internet browsing, and watching videos. I definitely recommend it.

its a Hit or a Miss......I got a Miss....the software is there as described, AI included, powerful processor, touch screen is nice, fast. The BAD: Materials: The keyboard feels like is made out of recycled plastic, while in use makes it feel cheap quality. Connections: Limited connections with 2 USB-A, 1 HDMI and 1 USB-C (Only for data. NOT for charge nor Display use) BATTERY LIFE: Other reviews are true, the laptop i received has poor battery life, it states that lasts up to 7.5 hrs......other laptops other brands last up to 10 hrs....Even with Energy Saver on, on email and web browsing use, Gives 4 hrs on battery. Quite poor. For a $650 price laptop, underdelivers, performs poorly

This works well for what I want it to do. Just wish the battery life could last longer without having to be charged as I don't do a lot of gaming. I just do emails, a little searching online, a little facebook time and some other things like banking and such. Love the touch screen option.

When my HP Model 15-fd0127dx laptop arrived, you could immediately tell that it was the no-frills, workhorse of a computer that I expected. With no fancy model names and no extravagant packaging, this 15.6 diagonal touch-screened, lightweight 3.52 lbs, thin 0.73" thick laptop meets the needs of those who are looking for a moderately priced but powerful work / school computer. This laptop with its 13th Generation Intel Core i7-1355U high power efficiency 15W low voltage mobile processor with Intel IRIS Xe Graphics at 1300 MHz onboard, 12MB of L3 Cache, 16 GB of DDR4 3200 MHz of RAM and 512GB of SSD storage was designed to hit the latest sweetspot between price and performance and I think this machine does this well. The 1920 x 1080 dpi 15.6" IPS LED touchscreen display at 300 NITs brightness provides a clear and pleasant user experience whether viewing spreadsheets, drawing in 3D CAD programs, surfing the Web or playing casual games. I am pleased that HP provided plenty of useful ports on this model. There is a 45W AC pin power port, (2) 3.0 SS USB A ports, (1) 3.0 SS USB C port and (1) 1.4b HDMI port. There is also a headphone and microphone combo port on the right. The keyboard has a large, clear font and has a much desired (by workers and students)10-key numerical input. There is no Ethernet port. This HP has WiFi 6. There is a sufficient 720p front facing video camera that can be placed in privacy mode with the privacy hood. Paired with the camera are the built-in HD Audio microphone and Stereo speakers, which make for good Zoom meetings or other connected encounters. The battery life is rated at up to 7 and 3/4 hours, but I haven't tested this out, since I usually leave my laptops plugged into an outlet. All-in-all this HP 15-fd0127dx model has everything I need for most work and casual play. I wouldn't use it for accurate color reproduction for movies or photos, and I wouldn't use it for heavy duty online gaming, but it will do just about anything else that you can throw at it and do it well.

The design of this laptop is functional and suitable for both school and work scenarios. The plastic build contributes to its light weight, although it feels less sturdy. The top cannot be lifted with one hand and tends to wobble during use. The screen features thin bezels but has a thicker chin. It includes a camera with a security slider and microphone holes at the top. The laptop is equipped with a few ports: HDMI 2.1, two USB-A, and one USB-C (which does not support Thunderbolt 4, charging, or video output) but offers super-speed capabilities. The full-size keyboard may feel slightly cramped, requiring an adjustment period. The keys have good travel and spring, though they may feel less durable. There is no backlight, which may affect typing in low light conditions. The trackpad is highly responsive and smooth, with satisfying springboard-style clicking. The 1080p-60Hz display performs adequately in most situations. However, at 300 nits, the brightness is insufficient for well-lit environments, and the glossy screen may be problematic. Color accuracy is limited, making it unsuitable for serious photo or video editing. For security, this laptop does not support face or fingerprint Windows Hello. Performance is adequate for a mid-range laptop. The i7-1355U processor handles regular productivity tasks, content consumption, and web browsing efficiently, supported by 16GB of RAM allowing multiple apps and tabs to run simultaneously. The laptop struggles with more demanding tasks such as advanced content creation and gaming. While there is no overheating, the fans activate frequently and can be loud. A 512GB SSD is enough space for most users. The AI feature is there for those like me who are getting into it. The 720p camera and microphone work well enough for most video calls, but are not very good. The speakers provide clear sound without strong bass, and the inclusion of a 3.5mm headphone jack is practical for users who prefer wired headsets. The battery life extends through a full workday and often longer. The power brick is compact but uses a proprietary plug instead of USB-C. Overall, this laptop is a viable option for students or users seeking a budget-friendly device despite some limitations.

My business is IT – so I see all kinds of laptops, desktops, all-in-ones everyday day. Today I received the HP - 15.6" Full HD Touch-Screen Laptop - Intel Core i7 - 16GB Memory - 512GB SSD - Natural Silver, Model:15-fd0127dx and gave it a run. Setup was a breeze – like most Windows PCs today. No glitches or issues right out of the box. The initial impression is that it’s a clean-looking machine, light with a small 45 watt charger. Weighs in at less than 4 lbs total including charger. HOWEVER, the first thing that caught my eye is the old-style round plug charger. I just can’t figure out why manufacturers don’t just leverage the more modern USB-C charging that many of today’s laptops already have built in. Can it really save you that much money? HP – if you’re reading this – we’d love an explanation! That took 1 Star off the review immediately. Next, once setup, I began to surf the web a bit and type a few documents. In fact, I’m typing this review on the very device – and I’m notice a bit of funkiness with the keyboard. I guess it just doesn’t really feel solid to me as it gives in a little bit when typing. Also has a very plastic-like feel and click to the keyboard. May not bother you – but I notice it. The screen is very nice – although not 4k quality, it will suffice for most business and productivity use cases – as this is NOT a gaming laptop. It folds out to about 120 degrees, feels solid when using the touchscreen (doesn’t seem to move if you have light fingers) and produces nice colors and clarity. This model has a large touchpad that works well and feels responsive. It supports multi-finger gestures, and I feel it is suited to this mid-range laptop style. On all my machines, I use a Passmark Performance Test tool to compare the main components. Overall – this machine produces decent CPU test scores and great SSD hard disk scores (see attached screenshots). It lacks a dedicated GPU (which is why this isn’t a gaming rig) but it will work perfectly well for everyday surfing, streaming and office work. Lack of more USB-C ports lost this machine another star in my rating – you only have 1. You have two other USB-A ports available – do don’t plan to plug lots or peripherals into this laptop unless you have a USB-C dock. Overall – it’s a fine machine for everyday use, just a bit on the lower side for specs and performance.

Its fast. Light, not bulky or heavy at all. The slim body allows it in any space. I didn't expect it to be this slim based on the previous HP I owned, took me by surprise. Battery life is good. That touchscreen capability is such a great touch.

I needed a computer for some pretty standard work and for minor video edits, and it has been great! Perhaps the only downside is that the battery does not last too long (about four hours). But if you do most of the work from a desk, that really is not a problem. It's really quick and easy to use.

Very good laptop, it runs fast and works smoothly. The screen looks great and is comfortable for studying or working. It’s a **very good option for engineering students**, as it handles demanding programs and tasks well. Overall, it performs perfectly and has a nice, modern design.
