Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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.

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 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.

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

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 have a gaming PC that I like, but it's a bit bulky for everyday office needs. I was looking for something that gives me a 15" class screen and an i7 processor with 16 GB of RAM and has a decent battery life. I stumbled upon the this HP with the right specs and so far it meets my productivity requirements. The processor is an i7-1355U. That's a 13th generation processor with 2 Performance Cores and 8 Efficiency cores. The 2 Performance Cores give double threads and the Efficiency Cores are single threaded, so you get 12 total threads of processing. The memory is 16 GB of DDR4-3200 RAM. This is where I was slightly disappointed. DDR4 isn't the newest or fastest. I was also looking this up and it doesn't seem like it's upgradeable. 16 GB is the max for this system. The storage is mediocre, 512 GB on an NVMe drive. Having done a quick speed test, it reads in the 3600 MB/sec range. I will likely replace this down the road to a more modern 2 TB version when prices come back down. Or I will have to carry a portable SSD. Battery life has impressed me. It's rated for just shy of 8 hours. So far in my testing, this is pretty accurate. My gaming PC would last me about 2 hours, it's rather bulky and the power supply is bulky as well. This HP is a breath of fresh air. I can easily carry it around and not have to concern myself with a battery for most of my day. I was also surprised at the charging brick. It's tiny compared to my gaming laptop's charger. This charger is rated for 45 watts while most of the other laptops I've dealt with have had minimum 60 watts. Ports on the HP laptop on the left side include a USB-A, HDMI, an audio jack and a USB-C. Disappointingly, while the USB-C is rated for superspeed, it isn't rated for power nor display out. For that you would need Thunderbolt and this laptop doesn't support it. I would like to get away from proprietary chargers and have a more generic USB-C charger like some of my other laptops, but this laptop doesn't support it. On the other side of this HP laptop is a USB-A and the barrel connector for power. The display is a 15.6" multi-touch display. It's a glossy screen with nice colors. Resolution is 1920x1080. It's sharp for FullHD. The brightness seems to be in the 300 nits range. It's powered by Intel Iris Xe onboard graphics. This is entry level graphics, which is fine for productivity, but you really can't expect AAA gaming with ultra settings. The trackpad is super smooth and is roughly 3"x5" so it's a decent size. They keyboard includes a numpad which I find important when doing productivity work. Although the keys are a little small. One thing I immediately found is that the texture of the keyboard keys are a little more coarse than I'm used to. It hasn't affected my typing ability, it's just something that felt a little off the first time I used it. The price is right where I expect an i7 PC to be at. For the price, this laptop might hint at cheaper materials, but under the hood, the specs are giving me confidence that I can throw my productivity apps at it with no problems, and even run a Virtual Machine.

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.

Item was delivered to the wrong address and still being billed for it.

I purchased this laptop 3 weeks ago and already the keyboard, the letters I use the most, are faded! I went back to Best Buy and they were not able to clean them.

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 :)
