Computer work fine, is fast and has not freeze on me so far. At the initial star-up the cd drive was not operating until I went to control panel and re-started the cd driver, after that no issues, the battery last 4-5 hours if you are surfing the web or doing some "office" stuff, if you are playing like an online game the battery charge gets reduced pretty fast, but I guess this is normal. I general I'm happy with it.

I was looking into a Laptop that would not cost a lot but would be efficient. After reading the reviews of other buyers I was convinced that this laptop would be my pick. Can't complain at all. It is fast & was exactly what I was looking for.

This laptop is just the right fit for what I needed. There is a miner glitch when typing. It seems to hesitate producing the text after you type it. It's not bad for some people like myself who type slow. Other than that, I am pleased with this purchase so far.

At first this notebook was as fast as any I have ever seen, but after a few months it has slowed a little. I still do not like windows 10 as it has less fetchers that windows 7 and the one I missed the most (DVD Maker) just isn't there. Overall it's worth every penny spent.

I got this on a deal. I believe the features for the price is very apt. And in fact I liked it. There was only one defect that one of the key on the keypad needs to be pressed a little hard than usual. But that’s okay with my case.

Other than the weight (which you easily adjust to) the only other negative is the power supply it is huge and cumbersome. The computer handles multiple programs running at good speed. Functions are easy to learn and is a great overall computer. Though I am not a gamer I did plug and play for the fun of it and found it very easy to use and real time response.

I can use this laptop up to 5 hours without charging. It has huge storage to keep some important things on it. High speed internet, however, it will heat up after using 3 and half hours.

An I7 - 17.3" screen laptop for under $500...cool!

I have two of these HP laptops. Both have worked flawlessly running 24 hours a day doing math calculations. The screen is easy to read and the colors are pretty good considering the price. They don't boot up as fast as a laptop with a SSD, but the 7th generation two core processor can't be faulted and hustles right along. Though not a gaming laptop or designed for intensive graphics, for most applications it will give quick response and easily handle day to day chores.
The only con would be the wireless maxes at 2.4 GHz instead of 5 GHz, but this is a minor con considering the pro attributes.

Nothing spectacular, just a good computer. Holds a charge pretty well and has been reliable in my first few months with it. It is however, a little bit bulky for a laptop, not so much in terms of width, but the computer screen is very large. The track pad can be a little annoying - I would recommend getting a wireless mouse as well.

For a 17" screen, this laptop is still easily mobile. Fast processor with the Core i7. I like having 1 T of storage on this laptop as I take and download hundreds of pictures. I would recommend this laptop to anyone who needs a basic laptop but also wants the option of large storage and a fast processor.

For this price is a good product. If you need a lot of space, 1Tb is a good storage! Big screen and 8Gb RAM.

This is a good laptop for the price. The processor is fast and handled big excel project for my data analysis class.
Overall, I have no issues with the machine. The issues cane from the pre-installed Microsoft suite. Trying to move from the pre-installed suite to Office professional was a hassle, but that's on Microsoft not HP.
Great resolution on the screen and a decent speaker for this price point.

I wanted a laptop with enough screen size to allow for me to see the different windows on my statistical packages and this laptop is perfect. The ram is also great and I can open various apps at the same time. And with One Drive, I can open up the same document on my work laptop and continue seamlessly. I love this laptop!
Its also a lot lighter than my old hp laptop of the same size

I wanted an i7 and it does not disappoint. However I hate the way it opens and the 'a' key did not consistently type. To spite these two problems, I love my computer and would buy it over again.
