The HP 15-da0033wm is your basic, everyday use, laptop. If you are a serious gamer, this is not the laptop for you. The look of it is very nice with the silver casing even though it is plastic. This laptop is lighter weight than my other one. It runs Windows 10 and has an AI named Cortana which is the laptops personal digital assistant and it is touch screen. Set up of the laptop was very easy with Cortana. Once my set up was complete, I updated everything and I was ready to go. This laptop comes with a free trial of "Drop Box" which I did not find useful but other people might. This laptop does not have a removable external battery. I am pretty tech savvy and have no issues dealing with an internal battery but if you aren't familiar with how to go about changing an internal battery, this laptop might not be for you. It has some apps installed that I found to be useless but it was no problem uninstalling them. It has plenty of storage space and a DVD/CD writer which comes in very handy when creating music discs, watching movies, and saving photos. The photo editor was easy to use. This laptop plays music with the Groove app. You can either stream music or you can allow it to play the music you have stored on your laptop. You can also install Windows Media Player if you do not wish to use Groove. It has an HDMI port, USB ports, and an SD card reader slot. It also has a port for your headphones. The battery has held up nicely. On a single charge, it lasted me several hours with continuous use. As for gaming, Minecraft was periodically lagging. Nancy Drew did fine and smaller games did well. If you have a PC game that will use a lot of resources, this is not the laptop to use. You will experience a lot of lag. Overall, this laptop is nice and does what I need it to do. Surf the internet, check email, stream music, online shopping, and the occasional game. It is a great laptop for students or for anyone with everyday typical laptop needs.
