Barely Works Sometimes

I first bought this laptop in August 2017 for work. I just graduated college and needed something lighter to carry around because I was going to teach abroad. My old laptop was pretty heavy. I initially bought this laptop because it was cheap, light-weight, and it seemed liked it could do the basics (documents, powerpoints, watching videos). I didn't have much expectations for it except that.
I didn't actually use this laptop much within the first month of receiving it in the mail because I was traveling a lot. After my travels, I started work and within 2 weeks of using it daily, it started to randomly shut down and restart on me.
The random restarts happened when I was in the middle of typing documents, showing presentations, or just watching Netflix on my own time. Every time I work on something, I'm always worried that this laptop will shutdown on it's own so I'm always saving my documents after every single word I type.
Also, when it does restart, it's super slow! About 2 months of using this laptop, every time I started up the laptop, it took about 20-30 minutes to start up. The screen would pop up black and nothing would appear for half an hour. It was a huge waste of time. I had to avoid turning off my laptop. After a week or two, the start up went back to normal but it still takes a while to start up.
Also, in general, it's just really slow. Sometimes I'll click on an app or even the WiFi button and nothing will happen or it'll take a minute or two for an app to open up.
I don't know if I just received a defected laptop or what, but I do not recommend this laptop at all. It's slow and randomly shuts off.

It started reseting itself and overheating in less then 30 days, the hard drive started failing and I replaced the thermal paste with MX-4 and it still ran hot only running starcraft 2 on low. This laptop is complete garbage and has made my final decision that I probably will never buy an HP product again because I have owned many and none of them have worked. Save your money and buy something like ASUS or Lenovo there products actually work.
