Just unpacked it, turned it on, so far not too bad . . . first thing noted, and it has been an issue with the past/previous two machines purchased . . . weak casing. There are several soft spots in both case halves, this laptop as with the previous one has spots located close enough to a seam that when flexing occurs, the seam will open up and get stuck open. Also, soft spots located in an area that when you grasp the laptop, it executes un-wanted functions. Secondly, I do not have wi-fi service available, which makes it very difficult to set up this computer. I miss my early HP's, built like tanks, you could change batteries and keep working, easier to operate because they were not doing things you did not want them too, and you did not have to spend months deleting program functions you did not want, yet still maintain operations.
The Laptop is fast, Screen size is excellent. AMD processor exceeds my expectations. Lots of Memory and Storage offered, Lifetime Microsoft is a wonderful value. The interface with my HP printer works well. Highly recommend this Laptop. Excellent price and value.
I've only had the machine for a little over a week so this review is really just my first impressions. The machine looks great, it boots up in seconds and the screen (17.5") is large and the display is bright and clear. Setup was straightforward and only took a few minutes to complete. The laptop is fast and has plenty of memory to render web pages quickly.
I am loving this computer! So far, it's very user friendly. It isn't inundated with unnecessary apps, programs are easy to open/use, set up was a breeze, and overall our done everything I needed. I highly recommend this computer!
I love hp laptops. Had to replace my old one after I broke it.

I love my hp. Inexpensive and high quality. Super fast and great. I love the big screen for watching YouTube. At first I didn't like the keyboard setup but then I discovered the number pad, which also functions as direction keys. One thing I don't like about it is I sometimes press the right click on the mousepad instead of normal click which is annoying. I also don't like Microsoft Windows and setting it up is a huge pain. Otherwise it's great . Only froze on me once so far. Great laptop and good price..
The laptop I configured came exactly as I ordered. I chose a lighted keyboard, a 17 inch touch screen and extra memory. It took awhile to set up as expected and runs well for my needs. It's much faster than my old laptop. My only concerns are that the keyboard seems to be a little extra sensitive and when I put the computer to sleep, sometimes it takes longer than I expect or my other computer takes. Overall, I am happy with the laptop and I think I made a great choice The base price was good, and even with the extras I added the price was reasonable. I recommend this laptop.
