Customer Ratings & Reviews

This HP 15.6” Touch-Screen Laptop is a solid, mid-tier, laptop for everyday use. Unboxing was quick and out of the box, step one is plugging in the laptop and then you are good to go. The material used to make the laptop is lightweight. This was not expected but for the size of the laptop but it is light at 3.5lbs and very easily moved. The material is smooth and rounded on edges, making a simplistic feel and appearance. This laptop can easily be placed in a backpack or bag to be used on the go, while not over-weighing or fatiguing the carrier. That was probably my biggest complaint about my laptop while in college, was it got heavy! The display is clear and there are no issues viewing work related documents or videos. Having an HD screen has become standard at this point and the laptop does not have an obvious defect in this realm - instead it has the upgrade of being a touch screen device. I have not worked very closely with a touch screen device in the laptop realm before (mainly tablets) and do not think there was any loss of display due to this feature. The touch screen allows for a multi-modal approach at tasking, if while typing, one does not feel like swapping down to the touchpad you can just click on the screen and keep going. My child enjoys being able to click something on the screen and make it happen. The screen is also 15.6 inches, which is a moderate size screen that appears larger than I expected. The keyboard also fit more than I had expected. There is a numeric keypad, which most laptops do not have. When considering this device for work-related activities, this is a game changer if one works with numbers or needs to type them frequently. The keyboard design also has one of my largest complaints (a friend also thought this was odd) - the power button is not in the corner of the keyboard, rather it to the right mid portion of the keyboard where it would have been on the edge of the keyboard if there was not a numeric keypad included. It is like the keyboard was designed, then a keypad added, but overall layout was not considered past that point. This is a minor detail, but caused some confusion in my brain and just does not lay right in my mind. The provided hardware unlocks the potential for a solid everyday/work device. The i7 paired with 16GB RAM provides adequate processing power to be able to run multiple applications at once, switching between documents and tabs without delay or lag. Having a video playing while also working away at a document. I have not attempted to push the device with any advanced editing programs; however, I would not expect them to run at full capabilities. Rather, this device allows for the standard everyday computing without a hiccup. With that, in regards to gaming, simple gaming appears to work (OSRS can run without issue) but the graphics capabilities would be limiting in any significant gaming effort. The 512GB storage is smaller than most devices have lately, but in the setting of work/school focused, this is more than enough to allow for daily tasking and not running out of space. Gaming or photo editing would need more, but once again I would not expect those services from this tier of device/hardware included. The battery life appears to be decent, has not died while unplugged and on the go for an afternoon but I would want to have the charger available if was going to be using all day. Predicting with standard use would last about 5-6 hours based on observation. I believe it is claimed to last about 7 hours, but that would make me nervous to bank on. There is an HDMI display connector, so that if you need to plug in device to display on a TV or projector this is easily completed. Have had no issue with connecting to WiFi using this device. Other worthwhile mentions are that the operating system is Windows 11 and Microsoft Copilot available, this appears to have become standard for most devices at this point.

I haven't had the laptop 30 days and it has taken a dump. It will no charge, power up and I may of lost everything. I am waiting on a box to send it to HP for repair. Not happy at all.

The laptop is probably just fine. I took it back because the online specifications indicated that the unit had a backlit keyboard. It didn't. Deal killer for me.

Had 2 of the same model, neither 1 holds a charge!!

I generally like HPs; however, this computer has a lot of problems. Suddenly, a virus hijacked the Chrome browser to access Yahoo Mobile. I have only had the laptop for a couple of months, and it will not turn on.

The trackpad is off-center to the letters on the keyboard so I'm constantly lining up my hands incorrectly and typing the wrong letters. Additionally, the speakers are on the bottom sending the sound into my lap.

No Keyboard Backlights. Touchscreen not useful. I looked elsewhere.

MY OLD COMPUTER DIDNT MAKE ME LOGIN TWO TIMES AND PUT IN MY KEYPASS TWO TIMES BEFORE LETTING ME WORK. THIS COMPUTER IS SUPER SLOW AT VERY THING i ASK IT TO DO. THE WOMEN THAT SOLD ME THIS COMPUTER SAID IT WAS AN UPGRADE ITS A DOWN GRADE IF YOU ASK ME. IF THAT WASNT MY ONLY MONEY I WOULD SALE IS CRAMP BACK YOU BEST BUY AND BUY A DIFFRENT COMPUTER WHAT A RIP OFF

So this is a interesting laptop. I would put it in the budget friendly category. Anyone should be happy to use this unless you are one of those picky keyboard people who need it to sound a certain way and click a certain way. It has decent brightness but don't go into it thinking about HDR content. If you don't have any vision problems you can get away with leaving the initial display settings alone. If not you might want to set the scale to 150%. Performance from the CPU and the integrated graphics is decent. Was able to play a FPS from 2017 on low settings and it was able to run it at 45fps. If full sized keyboards are your thing then you will like this one. 15.6 inch display is pretty good and makes this a good all around use laptop. Unless you need to have the fastest of everything then you are definitely in the wrong space looking at this. The battery life is decent and the wifi-6 and Bluetooth are handy. Shouldn't have any connectivity issues using this laptop. The lack of being able to charge using USB-C was probably a bad move. You are stuck using a traditional charger with the barrel plug. The cooling vents at the bottom are good for those new coolers that pull in air and blow directly on the bottom and creates a seal on the bottom of the unit that helps direct the cool air into the laptop. If you like a light laptop, you will like this one. Not heavy and very portable. It will fit into any bag. Would I recommend this to someone? Yes I would. HP has always made a decent product for the average user that as long as you take care of it, it will last a while. A upgrade to a larger drive would probably be in your future unless you are going to use a external drive which I would recommend.

This computer was plastic and seemed cheap. I returned after opening the box.

The HP 15-fd0127dx is a VERY solid mid-level budget laptop with specs suitable for all but the most resource-intensive applications such as those dealing with 3D graphics. This processor for this laptop is a 13th generation i7-1355U, running at 1700 Mhz with 10 cores. This is a small step up from the Intel 12th Generation Core i7 processor in an earlier version of the 15-fd0000 line, the 15-fd0107dx. The Microsoft PassMark rating for the processor is 16710.6, which is respectable at the 58th percentile. The PassMark ratings for the 16 GB memory and 512 GB SSD are very strong, at the 77th and 82 percentiles. Only the 3D graphics rating was below the 50th percentile (31st), and the overall PassMark rating was exactly at the midpoint, 50th percentile. Overall, a very solid computer at a reasonable price. I weighed the HP 15-fd0127dx with a postage scale and was surprised that this 15.6" screen laptop was not much heavier (3 lbs., 9.5 oz) than my 13" screen HP Spectre (3 lbs., 2 oz.). The Spectre has served me extremely well over the past five years, as have previous HP Envy and Spectre laptops I have owned. In my experience, HP laptops are real winners, which is why I did not hesitate to get the 15-fd0127dx. There are a half-dozen features of the 15-fd0127dx I am ambivalent about. 1. The laptop uses a Chicony a18-135p1b charger with a standard plug rather than charging through a USB-C port like my Spectre. This frees up a USB port, but also means I am totally dependent on the provided charger. I cannot, for example, use my Anker PD USB charger in a pinch. 2. I like the large keyboard with a number pad, but there is no backlighting. 3. The three USB ports are adequate, but two are A and only one is C; given that C is the new standard, it should have been two Cs and one A. Also, the C USB port is not a Thunderbolt port. 4. The SAMSUNG MZVL8512HELU-00BH1 512 GB SSD will probably be adequate for most users, but I actually replaced the SSD that came with my Spectre with a 1 TB SSD and have filled that drive to just over 512 GB. I will have to either refrain from copying my photos and videos to the new laptop or (more likely) replace the 512 GB drive with a 1 TB drive. 5. The HP 15-fd0127dx includes an HDMI connector, always useful when traveling for connecting the laptop to a large-screen TV in a hotel or Airbnb, but probably unnecessary in day-to-day work at home because the 15.6" screen is big and beautiful. 6. The HP True Vision HD camera is fine for things like video chat, but it is not IR, which means Windows Hello facial recognition is not available for logging in. Some users might question why this laptop is made of plastic and not aluminum like the Spectre line and why the hinge does not allow folding back the screen to use in tablet mode. If you want those features, you should buy a more expensive laptop. Honestly, unless you are extremely careless with the laptop, you will not break the hard plastic construction. And using a laptop this big as a tablet does not make much sense. The HP 15-fd0127dx may lack a few features, but that is understandable, given its low price, and I think that budget-minded users will be very happy with the features it does have and its excellent performance. I certainly am.

very expensive, not practicale, battery die out quickly.

Pc is so loud fan noise is outrageous would not recommend

PC is so nothing extraordinary, slow and not updating quickly

The 1 star is for bestbuy. They sent me the wrong model and now i cant get a hold of anyone

The product is very bad. Is not good! Os very slow, I don't recomend it. The return time is 15 days, the product is very bad after this period, they don't gave me option dor return whe sell my bad product.

Do not buy this laptop!!!! I had to download drivers to make the keyboard function properly and after just 1 month of use, the commonly used letters/symbols are already wearing off.

Poor. Freezes when clicking on websites very often

I wouldn't buy this laptop. We purchased and tried to set i t up after the return period and we cannot get the wifi to work. Save your money.

HP is known to make great quality PCs and Laptops, This device is no exception. First thing I should point out if you are reading my review is that this is not a gaming laptop. This is a everything else laptop. Perfect for work, students and anyone else that wants to be connected to the Internet while still having the processing power to do almost anything else, like surfing the web, checking emails, picture and video editing. Spread sheets and using AI programs etc. The specs on this laptop are the minimum anybody should be buying these days, there are cheaper laptops out there for sure, but they have lower specs as well. What you get here is not only quality, but you will be future proofing your investment. Some features include: Screen: 15.6 touch-screen FHD 1080p definition, very crisp very clear, and at 15.6 inches it is a pretty large size screen for a laptop. Processor: Intel i7 A very capable and somewhat high-end processor. Probably the most expensive and best component of this laptop. Very future proof and very capable. RAM: 16 GB SSD More than enough to run pretty much any application, program, or software. Enough RAM to future proof, your investment for a long time. And of course, all this comes in a solid state drive. Or SSD. They run faster, quieter, and more efficient than the old Hard Drives. Memory: 512 GB Not the most memory available, but still decent. You’ll be able to store a few high definition, movies programs and music, but that’s about it, you will most likely run out of memory if you do a lot of downloading. The thing is that you can buy additional memory pretty cheaply these days. Graphics: Intel Iris Xe A very entry-level graphics card. Will only be able to play very simple games, well like I mentioned earlier, this is not a gaming laptop. This graphics card should be good enough to run anything else that’s not considered a video game. For example, little handle basic video editing. Programs and software. Conclusion: A very fast, a very capable laptop, has all the connections you need like USB-A, USB-C, HDMI etc. It features Microsoft Copilot, which is an AI program to help you create projects, gives you advice, and overall makes things simpler. Comes with a HD Camera and Microphone, long lasting battery, HP claims it can go for 7hrs and 45 minutes. And Stereo Speakers :)
