    I purchased this laptop last month for online schooling and it has been phenomenal!!! I have recently been interested in also using it for a bit of gaming and connecting it to a wired Xbox controller but was reluctant for fears of damaging the laptop or having a lack-luster gaming experience but your detailed and informative video has dispelled all of those concerns! Thank you so much for this wonderful video! Thumbs up!!!

      I bought this laptop and it can't even run online mmo games on the lowest graphics it had an intel pentium silver processor though, completely unplayable for a competitive standpoint NOT worth 600usd

      Wow, I have it as well, but it was given to me for free, and I still feel ripped off. By far, the worst laptop I've ever owned.

      Hello! I do recommend choosing a laptop with brighter screen over the laptop with more power. Bright and vibrant screen will provide you much better experience than slightly better hardware.

    Saying a lower resolution display is an advantage because of higher frame rates is very misleading. You can have a 4K display and still run it at lower resolutions. This just removes the option of higher resolutions. I have this laptop, and that display is -- by far -- the worst display I've ever seen on a laptop. Ever. And the viewing angles are horrid.

    I bought this thinking I could run it via the HDMI out to my 58" ROKU tv. Unfortunately the HP freezes within seconds, and then I have to hold it's power button to turn it off/restart. Not sure if it's the 1.4 hdmi connection or what (and no, don't know what the tv is using). Any ideas? Or is it just my good idea gone bad?

Now it works fine, plus for DaVinci edits I started converting my vid files to Proxy and that made things even better still. Computers, what are ya gonna do, right?

      These barrettes lose max charge over time, so even if you bought it new, it might’ve have been laying in a warehouse for a couple years.
      When was this model released? I have a 4 year old Asus that gets over 2 hours, so something def isn’t right. Replace the battery if this is really happening.
