Customers are saying

Customers value the 15.6" Laptop for its affordability, user-friendly interface, and ability to handle light gaming. While many appreciate its lightweight design, ample memory, and storage capacity, some users have concerns about its short battery life, lack of a backlit keyboard, and Windows 10 operating system.

    Horrible Computer and experience

    I bought this computer to replace a 2 gig, 6 yr old computer for work. I was able to get the computer up and going and was able to install software needed for work, used the computer 2-3 times and it is slow, very, very slow. I had it freeze up on me 3-4 times while working on it the last time and decided to return it. Best Buy told me that windows 10 requires 4 gig just to run so this was causing the issue and that I needed to buy a more expensive computer. If I were to exchange the computer for a new computer, they were going to charge me $120.00 to move 1 file to the new computer. I am not sure yet if there was just an issue specific to this computer or if the computer just sucks.

    I purchased this purely because of the great price. It is not a good computer. It is slow and unresponsive and very frustrating to use, even when I am just on the internet or working on a spreadsheet. I would not recommend this product.

    I bought this computer because my 6- year old hp pavilion was stolen. This model is slower than my old one. Like WAY slower. Good luck having multiple tabs open in any web browser or two word docs open at the same time. Remember what dial up felt like, that's how everything about this computer feels. Click on any program or doc and you might as well walk away and do something else while it opens. I suggest spending a little more and getting something that actually works.

    I'm guessing the prior reviews were done on previous versions of windows. Once you update windows and load office it's a really slow system.

    Best bang for the buck out there

    This HP laptop with the A12 APC clearly is a winner. It can play World of WArcraft and Diablo on low settings easily at 20 to 40 fps. It can keep multiple browser tabs open at the same time. While the 5200 rpm hard drive, the usual slow drive found in most laptops, won't win any awards this one at 1 terrabyte is a keeper. Plus a dvd/cd burner is included. This would be great for college bound youngsters or for those home bound to be able to reach out to the world via social media or even as an inexpensive back up computer. Best Buy's staff were outstanding.
