HP 15.6-inch HD Laptop, AMD Ryzen 3 3200U Processor, 8 GB RAM, 256 GB SSD, Windows 10 Home (15-ef0021nr, Natural Silver)

Laptops have certainly evolved in the wake of the watershed introduction of the MacBook Air. The race to make a compact and light windows variat has went hand in hand with Microsofts evolution of the Windows OS. The one thing Apple was never going to answer with is a sub $500 laptop. This created a market if PC makers could leverage. It was a slow evolution as makers like Asus were able to answer with so-called Ultrabooks. They looked good were compact yet were lacking overall and a big part of it was due to the less refined Windows OS (it was vastly more compatible with internal components and suffered). Now, as of mid-2020 Windows 10 has matured into a truly great OS and that may be one of the best features of this bargain laptop. You get a full Windows 10 Home OS.

I sent back a laptop computer I ordered from them. Didnt work and was full of scratches - sounded like the fan was going out. They accepted my refund but didnt refund me the entire amount - they shorted me $106.87 from the amount I paid - never again will I ever recommend this company.

This is an excellent device. Light weight and very fast. Boots up in less than 15 seconds. Outstanding and I am happy I purchased it.

I didnt want an HP. EVERY HP I have ever owned has been total garbage. BUT, I listened to family and friends who urged me and told me how great their new HPs were. So I gave in and I bought this laptop. WORST DECISION EVER.

To be honest, my brother suggested this laptop since my previous one died. I like it because it serves its purpose. I dont know much else about computers. The only trouble I do have with this laptop is keeping the screen focused so that the vibrancy and/or brightness is consistent. The brightness changes constantly with the lighting in the room. I hope this helps.

I liked it for the numeric keypad, my last laptop didnt have that. Soon after purchase the screen had a couple small bubbles. Perhaps its the heat (I live in the tropics). The fan also can be loud at times.

The mouse pad effectively doesnt work anymore. We are required to use a usb mouse now.

I have had HP computers for several years. The last laptop I bought has been good but was always extremely slow in starting up, printing and visiting web sites. I decided to try this one out and I absolutely love it. It starts up within a few seconds once started. Prints nearly twice as fast as my old one and does the surfing very quickly. I strongly recommend it to anyone looking for a nice PC that works well.

After 2 weeks of having it i can say you get what u paid for, literally you must carry its battery everywhere since it runs low pretty quickly after a full charge. the screen isn’t very bright but its ok. The keyboard is a bit challenging to get used it to since it ain’t backlit and its numeric keypad is an unnecessary addition which makes the whole keyboard very confusing to get your finger familiarized ( specially transitioning from a mac’s keyboard style) The whole laptop bodys material feels a bit cheap plastic but lightweight overall. it might not have an intel processor but its still capable of carrying out simple basic-multimedia tasks and school stuff.. the fan might get a bit loud during a prolonged period while running basic apps ( like itunes) but so far so good

Still trying to get it to connect to the internet. Windows does not find the network adapter. And since it is not under warranty, HP wants to charge to support it.
