It's fast, it looks good, It's light weight (compared to my 3 old HP laptops). It works great with external optical drive and BT mouse. I love the touch screen and back lit keyboard. Overall, it was a great Christmas present for myself.
I had been using a desktop PC for years. When it failed after 8 years, I decided to change to a laptop. After consulting with some computer experts, I decided to order the HP Pavilion 15. Delivery via FedEx was quick. When I received it, I was able to set it up and begin using it in less than an hour because the set-up instructions were so complete. The laptop has functioned perfectly so far. The only negative things are the numerous advertising short cuts pre-installed on the laptop and the flow of junk email.
