Design – Optimal Use

This entry-level HP laptop weighs 5.1lbs and has a 15.6" screen. Some users may find it underpowered, but the Intel processor and 6GB of RAM should be able to handle most standard home or small office tasks like browsing, email, office applications, but very limited gaming. On the minus side, it's not equipped with a touchscreen which can make Windows 8.1 a bit more difficult to use for some. Free Windows 10 upgrade, so we would install it right away.

Not for everyone

If you are looking for a light weight laptop for transporting, work, or coffee shops, you should consider a lighter Ultrabook instead. Gamers should look for a purpose-built notebook with a faster processor and discrete graphics chip.
