HP 15.6 Inch Laptop, Intel Iris Xe Graphics, 11th Generation Intel Core Processor, 8 GB RAM, 256 GB SSD, Windows 11 Home (15-dy2024nr, Natural silver)

Love this it runs great, quality is good , runs at great speed I use it for work and home very durable battery life is average

Why did you pick this product vs others?:The build quality is premium, the display is stunning, and the speed is excellent. You get what you pay for.

(Be sure to check if this review is for the model you used. This listing contains many very different HP laptops. I got the model with 8 GB DDR4 RAM and 256 GB storage.)I've had this laptop for about a year now, and there have been no major issues besides ones that come from Windows itself or custom hardware upgrades (I upgraded the RAM and SSD, and had issues properly cloning the drive, but that was ultimately my fault). You're getting the performance of a very nice ~$500 laptop, so make sure you get this while it's on sale (which seems to be most of the time... $450 as of this review, $60 dollars less than I bought it at).For casual use:Great! The IPS screen looks great for videos and movies, and the CPU is more than capable enough to run Office tools and whatever other software you may need. It never really seems sluggish, and the battery has a reasonable amount of juice. The keycaps are a bit jiggly, and there's no backlight for usage in the dark, and the power button is just.... really thin, but it's otherwise fairly comfortable to use. No issues with the touchpad, although I wish they'd bring back separate click buttons... Good amount of ports, too.For gaming:Although I was expecting its performance to fall short, it's honestly better than I expected. Minecraft, Roblox, and other various lightweight games run well. The great IPS screen makes gaming feasible as well. If I ever decide to game while I'm not at my PC, I have options. Don't go expecting to play Fortnite or basically any other resource-intensive game on this, though.Technical stuff:This laptop came with 2 sticks of 4 GB DDR4 3200 MHz RAM, filling both slots available. I'm... really not sure why they did it this way instead of putting 1 stick of 8. That makes upgrading so much easier...It also came with a Kioxia 256 GB TLC (I assume based on their other listings) M.2 SSD with decent read/write speed. To replace those parts, you need to pry the rubber feet off the bottom to expose the screws holding the backplate on... that's really the worst part of the process though.If you're using it casually, you likely won't need to upgrade the RAM or storage, but it's getting cheaper and cheaper to do so by the day. I got a 16 GB RAM replacement (one stick; I put it alongside one of the 4 GB sticks for 20 GB total, I don't care about dual channel) and 2 TB storage replacement for under $100 total.

The reason why I selected this product is because of all the extra programs that is included with the purchase. It also looks great and have the silver color that I always am attracted too.Heat level:This might be the first laptop that I purchased that does not heat up. I think it is the strong processor that it has that allows it to run very cool.

I purchased in 2021, and it is still working very well! I am not an every day user, but it functions well for what I need it for. It is easy to navigate, and I haven't had any glitches. The battery life is still very good. Very happy with this purchase!

Only had this computer for a few days so perhaps it’s too early to rate but so far I’m very pleased. It’s very slim and lightweight. The set up was super easy. It boots up almost instantly. The key board is easy to maneuver. The built in mouse pad works extremely well. The screen quality is very good & the monitor is bright. I only use it for basic things like email, social media, research, on line shopping, etc so it fits my needs perfectly. The battery life is decent. It came loaded with Windows 11 which is great but unfortunately Windows 11 is not compatible with my printer. The trade off is that Windows 11 is far superior to Windows 10 in all other respects. The test will be to see how long it all holds up. I’m optimistic though!

We bought this computer to replace one that was "irredeemable". It has an i5 Intel processor which appears to be ten times faster than the i3. I am not sure why the speed has increased, but we like it a whole lot better. The only way we could make the old one useable was to leave it on 24 hours a day. This computer closes down when we shut the lid and starts up when we lift it. The only reason we bought this computer was to have a computer that is only used for financial matters----we do not search the web or receive e-mails. The main reason we bought this laptop from Amazon was the 4 year extended warranty, which, I was told, included tech support. We had a lot of problems with the last laptop, and needed tech support which was only good for one year. (By the way, it is interesting that we enjoyed the last computer until one day Microsoft "updated" my windows 10 and then the computer stopped working. I contacted Microsoft and told them how the computer worked fine until they "updated" my computer, and asked if they would fix it. They said they would be glad to fix it for a $99 charge. At that point I was loud and angry. I explained that I felt that this was ransom ware. "You screwed up my computer and for $99 you will fix it". I said I would not pay such ransom ware money. I would throw my computer away first and buy a new one. I contacted Acer tech support and they said they would fix it for nothing. They did, and when asked how I could keep this from happening again they said just unclick the "automatic update button". I did just that and for 4 years I loved my computer again.) An update to my review: the laptop arrived with a crack on the face just to the left of the top left speaker. I returned the computer to the supplier and they gave me credit for it minus $77.70 for a restocking charge. No doubt they are restocking the computer so they can sell it to you and pull the same scam on you.-----------A further update on my refund----------The seller (Tech Deals Store) is refusing to refund all my money since I opened the box and started using it before I discovered the crack. I have asked for a full refund, and am awaiting their answer. If I don't receive my money then I will contact Amazon and ask them for the remainder off my refund. If that doesn't work then I will file a dispute with my credit card company. ( I am not letting Tech Deals Store get by with this scam.) Further update---- Amazon gave me the $77.70 back. I hope I remember the name "Tech Deals Store" and never buy from these people again.
