  I bought this to be my main laptop. i play a few steam games, watch some streaming media, shop, download music, and do a few other basic things on the laptop. I play OOTP baseball, Civilization 6, Alien Resurrection, and Serious Sam BFE in linux. I was happy I can boot linux from a micro SD card reader with an SD adapter or a USB drive. That way I can use linux for everything except for my printing needs which i use with windows(and wont be online in win 10 for the malware disguised as an OS to collect data on me) . I am happy with the power and speed of the machine (it has turbo boost when needed up to 2.6 ghz), the number of USB ports(3), the size and weight of the machine, and I love the color. This also has a good HDMI port but I don't use that port. I am one who typically uses one program at a time on my laptop so this being an entry level processor is not an issue. This is definitely not a work horse laptop but anyone looking for a power machine at this price is dreaming. I was also able to install samatra pdf and palemoon web browser on my machine.There is a way to turn S mode off in the windows store. The main drawback to this machine is in win 10 upgrading can be an issue if you do not have extra storage such as a USB drive or SD/Micro SD card because of the tiny size of the hard drive. So if that is an issue with upgrading, this is not the machine for you(or any windows 10 laptop with such a small hard drive). I just wish that HP made a 13 inch model with the same specs. It is not that big a difference but I think i would pay a little extra for a 13 inch.I like the case.The color is nice and i like the texture of the laptop. I was able to put a phillies bumper sticker on the lid no problem and I plan on putting a fermi's paradox sticker on the lid as well. The case is lighter than metallic ones and unless you plan on banging your laptop around you shouldn't need a very good case on your laptop. So this is not one for people who travel often and worry about banging their laptop around.So in conclusion this is a great laptop for basic usage and for low end gaming. Just be prepared for the whole upgrade issue due to it's tiny hard drive. It is also a little harder to upgrade the hard drive and ram with the way this machine is assembled. But overall it is a great buy at this price. If anyone has any questions I will answer them as best i can. Hope this review helps.

  Very good for the price. I just needed it for school work so it seems to do the trick. Shipping was super great, though. Came the morning after I ordered it

  I am in Love with this laptop!!!! it does what I need and more!! I've always spent a lot of money on expensive computers but this is my favorite of all time!! battery life is amazing!!!! I'm not a gamer.. just needed something for everyday use and this has done just that for me! I've always been the "big screen" person but it really doesn't bother me at all since the battery life is so amazing!! For the price this is absolutely amazing and handles everything I need. I highly recommend this if you don't want to spend a lot of money for a basic laptop!!
