basically stripped down and all the extras are really really annoying ... ie McAfee , etc Micro edge is horrible ...constant "unexpected disconnections" , lost favorites etc. But for the price it does the basic computer stuff ok. Another problen is the mouse pad. very touchy and off centered too far left so constant hitting the wrong place on the pad is inevitable....just gotta live with it ...
Just got this and I think it is finally set up the way I want it. I had (briefly) tried a Chromebook, but quickly realized it is just not good enough. All I really need is to be able to surf the 'net when I am away from home and my desktop, and this is much better than a chromebook.
This device has met all our expectations. It replaced a 10 year old HP laptop that had a broken hinge. This one seems to be a bit more well designed and therefore seems more sturdy. As for performance that is wonderful... of course 10 new years of technology would lead to that naturally. HP didn't set on their laurels...they progressed and our new laptop shows that.
