    The speed performace gradually decreases over time. Don't buy it. If you have too many tabs open it'll crash and the battery life is short lived.

    Fully understanding this was a low end laptop, I was still frustrated with the speed. Laptop has since stopped working. I am done with HP for now.

    I bought this laptop trying to skimp on price and I got what I paid for: processing time is slow and quality isn’t great. I ended up returning it 24 h later and buying a Mac Book air

    It’s cheap. You get what you pay for though. It’s slow when connected to internet. Takes forever to pull up a web page. Image quality is so pixelated. Would not buy again.

    I don't know what the good reviews were for! I trusted all these good reviews and we have been having issues since we got it and I couldn't even get anyone from Best Buy to help us! First we were having microphone, video and stereo issues with this laptop. Since Monday 6/22/2020 it's been heating up while my kid is attending summer school on Zoom and we can't even use the laptop at all! What a piece of crap laptop. Do not get this item! What a waste of money!!!! Not worth the one star

    I bought this laptop for my daughter to use in a new home schooling environment due to Covid-19 and it just stopped working without any warning. It took me a couple of days to o figure out how to file a warranty claim with HP and it’s going to take at least another 2 weeks for them to send me a box to mail it off to their repair center, them to repair it and send it back to me. Needless to say my daughter is asking me when will I have her laptop repaired daily.

    If I could give this computer 0 stars I would. Stopped working after 3 months. HP was ridiculous about replacing it and had me delete and download this and that, which was a HUGE waste of time. HP computers are the worst. This is the last HP I am buying. They last a few months and then self-destruct. This is the 3rd one I've owned and I regret every purchase. Save the money and buy an Apple.
