    When I got it for school it was great. Recently I got a job working from home and when I added the needed programs, the computer is starting to run slow. Bought in June, got the job in August. It’s already going slow.

    Sexy looking and a great value for the money. I got it my my small home business. And I love it. I hate that Microsoft software isn't included anymore. But other than that I am happy. Even the at door pick up was a breeze.

    I would not recommend this item at all. I returned it. I gave it multiple chances. It is one of the slowest computers ive ever used in my life. I expected on set up that it would take a while. But even after all the setup, just booting the computer up took about 10 minutes. After that, it lagged so badly opening programs it was an exercise in futility. My 10 year old hp that I bought this to replace runs faster.

    New Addition

    This piece of equipment was a very much needed upgrade. I have not purchased a laptop since 2007 or 2008 if I recall correctly. The design was super considering the one I left behind. it does not have a CD-ROM, but who has CD's anymore when everything pretty much can be downloaded and installed without additional hardware making it heavier anyway. I was used to having a left and right click button by the finger pad, so this was an adjustment for me to utilize the right click. It works great and I ended paying slightly less because I bought the open box model. Honestly, it looked new when I got it and works great for me. I was very happy with this purchase.

    Read several reviews about slow start up with Windows 10. I was in no hurry to start so just plugged it in and let it do it's thing overnite. Next day up and running. Just what I wanted. An upgrade to the laptop gift from my brother 10 yrs ago. :)

    I purchased this computer for my daughter. Our experience with it has been great. She uses it for schoolwork in the daytime, the sims 4 and roblox on the evening. We have never had any issues with the time it takes to boot up, or it randomly booting her from games due to graphics or gameplay cpu needs, it has not randomly dropped it's wifi or Bluetooth connections, it has decent battery power and a bright beautiful screen. It has performed well where our previous more expensive laptop failed. Today, I purchased another one for me.

      Thanks for sharing your experience. I can certainly appreciate your frustration with the slowness of this computer. It sounds like you waited for the proper boot-up time to complete, so 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.

    Hands down, worst laptop I've owned. SLOW, even with all updates downloaded. Currently not even sensing a hard drive onboard. Have had less than a year, which means it should be in warranty. I see they no longer offer it new, only refurbished. I'm guessing they discontinued it after all the repairs. I'm hoping mine is unrepairable and is retired.

    Pretty crappy, slow computer. I'm not sure how they can charge $500 for this. It takes several minutes to load up and get going. The charger broke the second day I got the thing. It has 8GB of RAM but I feel like I am using a 1998 512RAM system. I'd say this is a beginners computer. For small children or grandparents. Should be $199 Not happy thus far

    Researched lots of laptops online before going to Best Buy and purchasing this HP laptop. The screen is a nice large size and it has a side keypad with numbers which is what we need.

      Hi there,

      Thanks for sharing your experience and sorry to hear that you were not pleased with your purchase. I am not sure if you still have the laptop, but if you do, I have some information to share in regards to your complaint that the computer is slow.

      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.
