The Bottom Line:
This computer is definitely worth the price and my only warnings are that it doesn't run 100% as good as it could and HP isn't the greatest.
I personally do not like HP. Everything is great at first but what I've noticed is that everything loses it's quality too fast. It was definitely worth the price but within 8 months after buying this laptop with good care, the motherboard had problems, the wireless card stopped working, and the touchpad did not work and bugged out sometimes. After getting everything repaired for free because hardware issues is common, everything is still losing it's quality fast. The computer is virus free but blue screens randomly and doesn't run as good as it should. It still runs good, especially for the price, it just not meet it's hardware quality. When doing intense things it heats up a lot. If I leave it on for over 40 hours that's asking for trouble. The built-in speakers have very low quality sound. For some reason this computer slows down the internet. On my other computer I download at 400 kb/s and on this computer with the same internet I download at 100 kb/s. I don't like the personal-interaction on this computer either. It is very restricted on this computer, and there's not much anything special for repairing or making your computer go faster. Overall it's a pretty good computer for the price but be warned that HP's flaw is fast quality loss.
