This laptop is excellent I like that there is a number pad also on the side It's so much quicker than my last laptop It's not a problem for me with the keys being the same colour as the rest of it but I think people with sight problems may struggle The delivery time was very quick I would certainly recommend this laptop
Bought to replace a similar but older device which simply wore out and died. This thing is a poor replacement, in many ways a downgrade. It doesn't have a CD/DVD player. It's predecessor did, and I built up a small collection of irreplaceable files and vintage films etc which are very important to me. Yes, I am well aware that the world has moved on to 'streaming' and such, but the CD/DVDs still exist.
I bought this to replace an existing HP Pavilion laptop. Having used the new machine for a few weeks its limitations are a little irritating. The lack of an RJ45 internet connector is something I can work around, but I had assumed that all laptops came with this, well they did. The lack of USB ports is the main bugbear, but seems to be common problem on laptops. I should have checked the specification more carefully. The biggest issue though is the keyboard. It feels very flimsy, a bit like something on a child's toy. I find it irritating to use as it moves when a key is pressed. It definitely gives the impression that it will not last long. The performance is fine, but not great, but it is a budget machine, so about right for the price. Next time I'll spend the money on a higher spec machine.
A bit disappointed with this machine because unlike other HP laptops this one does not have back-lit keys. It makes hitting the right key at the right time just that bit more hit and miss. A shame. I can't believe that enabling lit keys at the point of manufacture would have increased costs significantly.
