HP 15.6-inch HD Laptop, AMD Ryzen 3 3200U Processor, 8 GB RAM, 256 GB SSD, Windows 10 Home (15-ef0021nr, Natural Silver)

After 2 weeks of having it i can say you get what u paid for, literally you must carry its battery everywhere since it runs low pretty quickly after a full charge. the screen isn’t very bright but its ok. The keyboard is a bit challenging to get used it to since it ain’t backlit and its numeric keypad is an unnecessary addition which makes the whole keyboard very confusing to get your finger familiarized ( specially transitioning from a mac’s keyboard style) The whole laptop bodys material feels a bit cheap plastic but lightweight overall. it might not have an intel processor but its still capable of carrying out simple basic-multimedia tasks and school stuff.. the fan might get a bit loud during a prolonged period while running basic apps ( like itunes) but so far so good

Ours does not hold its charge as long as stated.

The mouse pad effectively doesnt work anymore. We are required to use a usb mouse now.

We got this for our 5th grader as she was sharing a laptop with me for her homeschool activities and its perfect for her school needs. She really likes that she has her own school laptop and she can personalize it as she wants. It is fast enough for her online school and the graphics are also good for her online school. If youre needing a very basic laptop I would recommend this one!

I didnt want an HP. EVERY HP I have ever owned has been total garbage. BUT, I listened to family and friends who urged me and told me how great their new HPs were. So I gave in and I bought this laptop. WORST DECISION EVER.

Great product for the money.

Its a nice entry level laptop and is budget friendly much better than a chromebook or similar device for just a bit more money. It handles all basic office/school duties and can even play some games its not gonna run AAA titles but older games that dont demand alot of graphics juice. Minecraft, roblox etc run nicely one it.

Pros:

For the price point you really can not argue. A couple of things that COULD be a bit better, fans tend to be a little loud, screen quality is not great, and the keyboard is not back lit. However it runs most programs, multitasks web pages and even plays a few older games okay.

Full Windows 10 Home, not the Windows S mode you typically see now in all of the lower end, budget laptops. Also, for me the lowest end processor I wanted was a Ryzen 3 or i3. Weve picked up several laptops running budget processors and within a few months they just cant seem to handle basic things like streaming a movie or even browsing the web. I recently helped a family member buy a education series HP laptop (meant for schools) and it was very sturdy. This laptop does feel a little flimsy which is fine for me, but might not be the best for young kids. Noticeable difference between this laptop and the ruggedized, educational HP series I bought. Cant beat this though at $400.
