    Bought this simple laptop for my son and I to use. He needed it to video chat with his teacher/class and for some homework. He's only in 1st grade. And I needed it basically for web surfing... It's ridiculously slow. Like, will barely load the page slow. While video chatting it lagged almost the whole time. We could barely keep up with the conversation because we would miss most of what they were saying. Thinking about returning it and getting something better.

    It worked fine for my classes (I use Webex) but, when I dropped my iPhone on the screen it literally went out. The screen wasn’t physically cracked but there was a white patch on the inside of the display that blocked my view, which quickly spread to the rest of the screen turning black. I took it to get a consultation at Best Buy but the guy working there told me it would cost more than I paid to purchase it to get the problem solved. Overall, not really worth it unless you’re going to be doing the bare minimum.

    The computer is slow, as other reviews have said, however, it is fine for simple tasks. This was fort elementary aged child with the new distance learning changes. It works well enough.

    This new laptop is smaller than my older model. It is still quite functional and very sensitive to touch. HP always makes quality merchandise. I miss my accounting key board on the side though.

    The camera is horrible. The microphone cannot be located, so the laptop cannot be used for Teams or Zoom.

    I needed a new laptop ASAP after my old one crashed. Great laptop for the cost. Not the fastest computer ever but runs smoothly. Great for work processing, internet use, plays Civilization VI smoothly.

    Unusual audio feedback during Zoom meetings

    I bought these for my children for school at home. Unfortunately there was significant audio feedback during Zoom meetings when used with headphones. Switching headphones did not help. I eventually bought a different laptop and had zero issues - using the same headphones. Also, the children use Google classroom. It was pain to use a Windows machine for this application. The aforementioned replacement laptop is a Google Chrome laptop and setup in 30 seconds. It save many headaches and is what I should have used initially.

    The man who helped me, explained it would be slower, but I find it slower than I expected. He was helpful and courteous. Service good, product not so much.
