Awesome laptop. Needs 32 for memory to be perfect because it takes a little longer for loading without it. Need easir way to reach casting and wifi buttons but that is a windows thing, not HP. Work flawlessly, no hiccups, stsys pretty cool (improved ventilation), comfortable to use and plenty of storage.
This is a well made laptop but it lacks three features I want in a laptop: an IR webcam, which is required to login to Windows with facial recognition; a backlit keyboard, to avoid having the printed-on letters rub off after a few years; and a built-in DVD player, which HP has dropped from its product line.
I am not a high-tech guru. However, I will say that this laptop is decent. I isn't as fast as I thought it would be, but it's ok. The battery only goes an hour or less while not on the charger and then needs to be charged. Hopefully, they work on that. This is my first time purchasing a new laptop and I did do some research for 6 months prior. This is what I found in budget.
