Cool looking, easy to setup and use!
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!

DON'T BUY
spilled literally a deep of justice and the mouse pad stopped working, fully functionally after the spill. called HP just to fix that issue; they had me run test and install updates after that the laptop stopped working. i sent it to them after trying their methods to reinstall the os system at home. they told me after sending the laptop back that there warranty doesn't cover the damage and to buy another one. and as a "courtesy" they'll give me $75 towards a new laptop. not worth the trouble will not be buying another lower end HP i guess just buy the extended warranty

    not a scam .. a great buy though
    most of the people giving bad reviews are inexperienced and impatient.. ive had this laptop before bought it from walmart as well and bought a new one because i have away my old one.. arrived perfectly fine undamaged .. yes the setup takes a while and you must be patient.. mine took a little over 2 hours .. also upon start up the first 10 minuted are a little laggy but thats a given with any electronic these days … after that smooth sailing.. its has tons of storage and is easy to use overall a great laptop for gaming and office work. ps: charge it before you try and turn it on becuase it is dead also when using it make sure not to cover the bottom of your laptop with a completely flat surface because it will overheat try using a breathable surface or prop it up so the bottom of the laptop has airflow.. this is just how laptops are its not just this latop itself .. this laptop is practically indestructible just dont go throwing it around on purpose.. ive dropped and stepped on it more than once (not tooo roughly) and it was perfectly fine .. this laptop is mostly suitable for an adult though..

    Satisfied customer
    I don't know what you people are talking about but this laptop is gorgeous, works fine, isn't slow and isn't used!! I'm not very tech savvy or materialistic but this is absolutely gorgeous and I've never owned such a nice looking laptop before! My dad actually recommended me this laptop and I was gonna get a ASUS but I'm so glad I got this one! I wish it came with a CD inserter but it's ok, because everything is pretty much online now lol. I am Absolutely satisfied with this. I can't wait to start my official vet training!! ❤️I'll update if anything changes!

    Crash
    This computer crashes all the time. It is beyond slow.... I can't get through any of the videos I need to watch for my classes. I guess you get what you pay for. I don't recommend this computer. I am forever staring at a black and blank screen

    Avoid! Do not buy! This laptop is a piece of crap. It runs very slowly and now after only 3 months has mysterious disk errors.

    I think im actually in love, tysm
    I bought this laptop mostly for the price and the beautiful red color. Anyways, I was look at reviews before I bought and I was so nervous. There was lot of reviews saying different kinds of stuff, I ignored them and just went for it. I decided to pick it up in the store today. Setting it all up only took around 10-15 minutes for me. Im mostly gonna use it for Roblox and Youtube! Roblox runs amazing on it, gonna try to download fortnite on it and see how it goes. But the laptop is absolutely stunning like omg. Its actually very light weighted too. Its only been like 5 hours since ive had the laptop it works great! Ty walmart money spent welllll. Sorry i couldnt add more pics, was busy!

    So far so good
    I am very excited about my laptop that I received as a gift. Can't wait to put it to good use when I return back to school in the fall. It's a plus because red is my favorite color. I looked and compared so many computers, when I came across this computer I couldn't let it slip through my fingers.

    No backlighting=hard to see keyboard
    I absolutely hat that this laptop does not have backlighting for the keys. I did not realize how big of an issue that would be but when I got this laptop I could not see the keys. I fixed this by ordering some stickers online. At least now I can tell the keys apart. I hate the Windows 10 S operating system as it would not run many of the programs I use so I had to go with the full windows 10 version. So far no issues other than the horrible keyboard. 3.5 stars

    HP Never Disappoints
    I am not tech savvy but as a user I am quite happy with my laptop. I love the color and the keyboard. The inner-workings of the laptop function to my expectations. I am a writer and I do a lot of work virtually so, I need a durable device. I haven't had it very long yet so, I may have a revised review later, but I don't expect it to be negative. HP never disappoints.

    Would not turn back on after 20 minutes!
    I was so very disappointed in this computer! I was so excited to get it because red is my favorite color and there was a great deal on it. It arrived in a timely fashion but after opening it for the first time and turning it on it never worked again! I had it working for about 20 minutes, went to put my daughter to bed and when I came back the screen was shut off. When I would hit the power button to turn it back on it would flicker and just go black again. I was so upset! I kept getting this weird error message. I tried for hours to get it to turn back on. I also tried to live chat with HP to see if I could get the issue resolved and I just kept getting disconnected from their chat. I must of tried at least 10 times to get through. The next day I brought it to Walmart to see if somebody in their electronics department could help me figure out what was going on with it. They told me there was already some kind of virus on it and that I should send it back. Some of these third party seller also sell them refurbished. It did not mention anything about it being refurbished online though. This is such a disappointment for me because I really needed this computer for work and loved the red color! I ended up sending it back for a full refund and buying a new one right at the store.

    Love it!
    I received the HP 15.6 PENTIUM 4GB/128GB LAPTOP-SCARLET RED and have not put it away since I've gotten it. This laptop really came at the right time. My netbook disappeared with the kids and distance learning. I was having to finish my day at night, waiting for someone to be done with a device. Not anymore, my days have been so much more productive and I have my own with no stickiness to it. Setting up the laptop was super easy and the charges are always super quick. I will say it is very rugged and isn't made of "porcelain" like others. The screen is huge and I love that there is a full keyboard with number pad. My only suggestion would be darker letters in the keys as sometimes there is a glare and you can't see the letters on it. Not so much a problem for me since when I type I dont look, but the kids have played with me they can't find the letters. Only because the keys are not backlit. The keys are very smooth when typing, though. The connection is super fast and I actually love the fact that you can completely connect your phone to the laptop and have both my world at my fingertips. Pictures, message, phone calls flow effortlessly between the two. The laptop found the printer right away and I love that I am able to connect to all of my TV's. Mirroring the image on a larger screen (the tv the kids love) has actually helped the distance learning and I am able to "conduct" class with my two 3rd graders. They say it's just like the projector at school. The laptop has now become my 3rd arm and it goes everywhere with me. My productivity is through the roof and I am able to finish my work soon or too and am able to join the family more (and sleep) not having to wait at night for a device. I dont know what I would do without it.

    Now I understand Solid State Drive!
    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!
