      Hi Reka,

      Thanks for your review. I can certainly understand your concern in regards to the slowness of this laptop, so I wanted to provide some info and insight.

      This laptop will go through a series of updates once it has been powered on for the first time out-of-box. These updates can take up to one hour to complete and attempting to use programs or running tasks while the system is updating may result in slow or poor performance as key resources are being utilized to support the updates that may not be visible to users. Once the device has completed the update / optimization process, the system’s resources should return to full utilization and you may begin to access your device as designed.

      If you're still experiencing issues after the initial start-up process, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at support.hp.com.

    Decent laptop for under $450, especially with so few options in this price range and a shortage of everything on Earth. Many reviewers noted that it is very slow, while others said "Do the updates." We did all the updates. Is it still slow? Yes and no. When you first move to a task window, it can be very slow - unresponsive. And you can certainly tell the difference from a more responsive computer. Once you are in the groove, however (and I cannot tell you precisely how that happens or why), it moves along well. We are only doing browsing and office tasks. Because we needed a big screen and a separate number pad, we're ok with this. Other users may not be.

    This laptop is nice. It’s flat and easy to carry. The only problem I have is that it runs slow. Maybe it’s the WiFi in my home. Other than that it’s a nice laptop with a lot of features.

    The laptop it has a nice design, feels sturdy, has a nice screen size. The issue we are running into is with the software it runs so slow even though we don’t use it very often. I would recommend to a friend if only the software and speed were better.

    Love the size of it for the price but it runs a little slow but the store rep took his time and explained everything to me which I am very thankful for. I wish I could remember his name. I was about to leave because it took so long for someone to help me.

    Purchased this laptop for my child for school. At first it was running slow but after installing any necessary updates it seemed to speed up a little.

    It's an HP the screen quality is just okay. I'm replacing this computer since it's slow. Pulling content online is time-consuming even though I clear cookies all the time.

    I'm approaching 30 days since my purchase. I love the look and feel of my HP 17". However, it runs slow at times and has taken a while to load when starting. I may need to return and/or exchange it. I will continue to monitor for another few days and will provide an update later.

    Overall I'm satisfied with this laptop however it is very slow. I have a 7 year old desktop that powers up faster. I have nothing stored other than photos and office documents. I got the silver color and without good lighting the keys are somewhat difficult to read. For my purposes of email, Office, and general internet it's fine.

    Yeah, the other reviews are correct. This is a waste of money. The screen is large and true to size, but that's it that is good. It is SLOW. They try responding about "updates", etc. assuming their customers are just "surfers" and "social media" users. Some of us know that updates aren’t slowing this thing down. At 100% charged and updated, months later, I still have to wait for a basic function to perform correctly...if at all. Save your money and buy a different product. This one is TRASH and slower than my 7 year old laptop!

    Computer not too bad. It is a little slow when opening applications and documents. Might be a little too slow if wanting to play games on it. It tends to stutter when scrolling. Battery only last about 5 hours.
