Pros: -The SSD makes the computer super fast.
-I can power on this bad boy and get on the internet in less than 10 seconds.
-Runs Virtual Machines like a champ.
-Ok streaming device.

Cons: -The screen could be better. Not bad, but it could be better.
-The top cover is awful. Feels cheap and is flimsy.

Overall Review: -The unit has ok build quality.
-It doesn't have a dedicated GPU, not good for gaming, great for school.
-Works great with my desktop as a streaming device and homework unit.
-Great performance, but feels kind of cheap for the price.

Pros: thought it would be better!

Cons: I got this laptop less than 6 months ago and for the last three months the keyboard and mousepad have been faulty. I can not use either, and have to use external mouse and keyboard to use it. Took it to authorized HP repair facility and will be charged to have it fixed!!!

Overall Review: Do not buy it! It is a waste of your money, wish I could return it!

Pros: I have had this 6 months now, still runs great. Very quick start up. Windows 10 works well. SSD makes it quiet.

Cons: Nothing major just Windows 10 video editor has no frills. Need to buy one to do anything.

Overall Review: I recommend it.

Pros: Least expensive 8gig/256ssd/i5 that I could find. They seem to be solid machines but time will see. I have ordered 10 total, no issues yet.

Cons: None yet

Pros: Good features in CPU, memory and SSD; performs well! The wifi using high speed ac is a big plus along with Blue Tooth. Usual Windows 10 plus and minuses. Boots quickly. SSDs are worth the money. A different keyboard that seems to be sturdy.

Cons: Absence of and position of lights is a nuisance. The touch pad is particularly a big problem in that it is ultra sensitive, will go dead for a few seconds and select on it's own when being positioned. If you buy one be prepared to get an external mouse. The Blue Tooth interface works well for me for the mouse, saves a USB port and alleviates the touch pad problem. I have not found the 3.0 USB yet.

Overall Review: Good product and would recommend it after noting short comings.

Pros: Got it for less than $400 with a seasonal discount, a coupon and credit card discount/points.
Fast boot.
Processor, RAM, and SSD combination for a competitive price.
handles most daily tasks with no issues.
No bloatware from seller (Newegg), only few things from manufacturer (no big deal).

Cons: Fragile and ugly lid. Feels no internal support to protect the screen from the back while traveling.
It's not that "show off" that you can bring to college, work presentation or even a cafe.
Screen is average as advertised. not bad but not that super HD.
Cheap feeling plastic case.
Mouse pad feels like sand paper, I'm already loosing my index fingerprint (I bought a wireless mouse).
Not really a mobile friendly due to weight and size (comparing to modern standards). 15.6" 4+ lbs is something from the past.

Overall Review: Disappointed with the plastic case and the mouse pad, but I'm going to keep it since the main reason to buy is to replace my XP desktop.
Non of my other devices at home has Ethernet, VGA or DVD burner. So, this is a laptop that's going to be used as a desktop replacement.
Get a wireless mouse with it.

Pros: Very fast boot due to the SSD and the I5 processor
Decent screen
Powerful WIFI antenna

Cons: You might want to remove some bloatware HP installed.

Overall Review: I bought this laptop as a replacement/backup for my current 8 year old desktop running XP on a HDD. The difference is day and night. The screen is perhaps a TN panel. But I am fine with it. I do not need to view it from different angles. In addition, I mainly use it as a work station hooked up with much bigger IPS screens. So it is not an issue to me. I have nothing to complain about this laptop @ $420. My phone costs more than this.

Pros: Respectable speed, Reasonable price.

Cons: 1. Screen is pitiful. Washed out, colors are poor. View angle is so severely limited that the center portion of the screen will appear acceptable while outer areas are severely distorted if you don't move your head to change your view angle. Poorest screen I've seen on a laptop in at least a decade. 2. Touch pad is also very poor. Sensitivity is inconsistent. I've tried all combinations of settings & still it is very difficult or sometimes impossible to perform precise cursor movements. 3. Supposed to have one USB 3.0 port but I haven't found it yet. The 3 USB ports appear identical.

Overall Review: I would not recommend this product for anyone. The small savings in cost will cost you 100 times in lost productivity.
I should have done more research & would have returned it if not for NewEgg's stiff restocking fee.
