    It comes with camera and good microphone. Good quality for the price. But it is small. For homework and personal things is enough.

    This laptop is okay for just searching the web depending on how your WiFi is. If you plan on putting anything on this laptop I would advise you to go with a different one because it runs really slow if you put any programs or games on it. It will also freeze on you. I bought it as a birthday gift based off of the reviews but sadly I had to return it.

    Needed a laptop to be able to work from home due to the COVID-19 and got a great deal on this Hp laptop! I used to have an hp laptop in college and never had any problems with their brand. It was curbside pickup which that was also awesome! The process was smooth without any issues!

    This comp, while nice and compact, is really slow and took awhile to set up. Once done, it proceeded to crawl and eventually failed to launch the Edge browser. After a couple reboots, the browser cane up but the text and images are so bad, it hurt my eyes. Get a better comp, indeed!

    This laptop is pretty fast and very light. There are a lot of nice features that were a pleasant surprise for a machine in this price range. But, it doesn’t have a fan - in fact the heat sink is basically a copper plate, which does next to nothing. It starts getting very hot after about 30-45 minutes of use. Would not recommend for gaming.

    Good laptop for beginners. But mouse pad is hard and suitable only for very basic use only. Windows home mode not allowing to install regular windows softwares and allowed to install them only after changing to regular mode. But after changing mode performance went down.

    I broke the old TV and this one was a great price for its value. Smart TV with ease of access to Netflix and Amazon by the click if one button. I like all the features it comes with. I also like all the input and output options and ease of switching between the 4 of them.
