HP 15" Pentium 4GB/500GB HDD - Scarlet Red

I am not a "techie", but I love and embrace how modern technology enhances my life. And I really enjoy learning about new tech options, and using this laptop has really been educational for me. The set up was absolutely seamless and perfect! With Cortana's friendly guidance, and HP presence {not bloatware, just good stuff), I really enjoyed personalizing this laptop. This is my first experience with a fine quality solid state device, so I had to do a little homework. I see so many benefits in using this laptop: no moving drive parts means a silent operation, extremely fast boot (it takes my unit 11 seconds, on broadband, for total start up, and streaming is so fast and efficient! I have learned so much about SSD drives in a laptop. Here are a few facts: Less heat and vibration, sturdier for travel, and more energy efficient. Oh, and again, so fast, yet quiet! The storage offered in this laptop fits my needs to a "T". I don't store tons of data on my laptop, but i did add an SD card so i can move and store photos, etc. easily. I know some of Us may think that 4 gigs of RAM, and 128 GB solid state hard drive isn't much, but personally, when I consider what I do with my laptop- streaming, social networking, communicating, researching, shopping, and all common daily activities, then this is perfect! It is more lightweight, more quiet, faster, more durable, and more efficient than a laptop with an HDD drive. And , nowadays, we all have so many options for cloud storage, that we really don't have to rely solely on our more portable computers for storage and saving data. I have done my homework, and realize it may not be for everyone. But for me, personally, experiencing how the newer SSD drives function has changed how I look at my personal computing. This laptop has opened a whole new world to me. It moves quickly and efficiently, and that is a good thing!

I am a Microsoft Certified Professional and have bought 3 of these for customers of mine in need of a new, affordable, general purpose laptop. Would definitely recommend getting the SSD version or replacing the HDD with an SSD for best performance. Despite only having 4GB of memory and a Pentium CPU, it puts out remarkably well for home-consumer needs. A great buy in my opinion; again, replace the drive or get the one with an SSD.

Run AWAY! If I could give zero stars I would! One of the worst purchases I’ve ever made! The speed is non existent, it takes roughly 3-5 minutes for a web page to load and no, it’s not at all my wifi connection. I even took this to Best Buy’s Geek Squad to see if it can be enhanced in some way, but was told that this is an HP Stream laptop and HP designs these so that they’re not manipulated in any way so it’s basically money I threw away. I wish I could smack the salesperson who convinced me to purchase this “just slightly slower but cheaper” laptop when the one I wanted wasn’t in stock. I’m sure he knew that this was trash, so upset.

This is a great laptop for basic computer users. It has a really easy to navigate setup process that you can complete via voice commands (super cool! I've never seen a computer do that before). The computer runs really well and is perfect for email/school work. The screen does not recline all the way back (this is NOT a 360 tablet style computer). Solid laptop for basic computing tasks. If you are looking to do anything graphic intensive or that requires much storage space though, I would recommend investing a little more money. If not, then this is a great value!

We bought this for the low price, color (Go Buckeyes), screen size and memory capacity. We don't use it for gaming other than FB games. It's mostly used for FB and email and information searches so it work great for us. The speed is so much better than the our last lap top and compares with our HP I5 desk top units.

For the size and memory capacity it's a very solid deal. Have operated it for 3 weeks now and have yet to come across any issue. Keyboard is laid out nicely, has a keypad which not all do. Keys respond well and spaced out well. If you're looking for a functional laptop at a decent price this is one of your better options. Mainly will be used for web surfing, YouTube, and other minor functions, so if you need something with alot more computing power you will have to look elsewhere and spend more money.

The HP Pentium is amazing the 15.6 screen makes it easy to look at the GB makes it run fast and it has a lot of storage the color is amazing it red but when you think of red you think bright but this red is very nice looking it makes you think it's expensive very good product inside and out

I absolutely am in love with my new laptop. Not only because of its stylish looks and striking red color, but because it is absolutely amazing and perfect for me for daily search, load, watching movies, etc. Forst of all let me point out a GORGEOUS red almost burgundy color, wide 15.6" screen and a stainless steel keyboard, YES it is stainless steel, sleek, stylish and the coolest thing I have ever had. This laptop has got 4GB memory, with 500 GB storage. The display is a perfect 15.6" size, has got a built in webcam, has got Windows 10 home operating system, the battery life is amazing, takes me all say of on and off browsing to get the battery down low. The screen has amazing resolution, the colors are extremely vibrant, bright and true to life. The only thing that took me forever kinda was a set up process. Almost 20 minutes which is unheard off. All other devices had a perfect internet connection but the laptop took a long time to get to set up. The speeds are fast and this is definitely a power machine, I'm a huge fan of HP products, so I definitely wasnt disappointed. I have used it for over a week for browsing, downloading and watching movies without any problem. Highly recommend to all the interested shoppers.

This is such a cool laptop, I love the red on the outside which makes it look so unique! The keyboard is nice and sleek as well, silver in color, and I like how the keys bounce back as I press them. I believe that one important thing for a laptop is an easy setup process and this HP laptop didn't disappoint: The setup process is voice-enanched so you just need to follow the vocal instructions as you go through the different screens and I was surprised how smoothly and fast the whole process went. The interface is user-friendly and easy to understand, if you have a basic computer knowledge. I would see this laptop as a good, valid option for kids or older people that might want something easy to setup and good to go. My daughter is currently using it for her school online meetings and the performance is pretty good: it's fast, apps don't crash and videos are crisp. We are very pleased with this laptop and would recommend it to anyone looking for a stylish laptop with a great performance!

Loved the laptop purchased for online schooling. Worked for little over 3 months and then one day I turned it on for class, it started downloading an HP update and now it won't power on and display screen is completely black and blank. So disappointed and angry and now have to spend several hundreds of dollars to buy a new computer so I can continue classes.
