- In this video I unbox and review the HP Scarlet Red Laptop I bought from Walmart online. It has a 15.6" HD screen, 4GB Ram, and a 500GB hard drive. I talk about the different features and give my opinion of this Hewlett Packard Laptop. There is a similar model that was less money that had 128GB Solid State Drive and some other variations of the features.

I just bought it and so far it's good, I love the red 😍
Thanks for watching! I'm glad you like the laptop!
FAIR WARNING!! I got this laptop since it was cheap and I just got a job hoping for something somewhat decent. But this laptop is verrryyy slow, it has trouble opening chrome, changing settings, typing lag etc. When it finally loads something, it works okay until it has periods of freezing (esp if your doing anything remotely intensive) It takes 2 minutes of wait sometimes to just let the laptop warmup and let me finally click on something on my Home Screen. I HIGHLY suggest looking for something else, I’m usually optimistic and mindful of low budget tech but this one is a hard pass, I’d rather use my phone for daily browsing. Invest in something a bit better
They can always swap out the hard drive for an SSD and upgrade the RAM, as well as get rid of some unnecessary programs it makes a night-and-day difference
@cutemimi25 who does that and how much
@jensenjames3874 it all depends on how much you want to spend for how much storage for a solid state drive, it makes a night and day difference trust me.
Thanks for the video. Were you able to update to Windows 11?
Does anyone know an adapter i can use with this computer for multiple displays. Ive been trying to use a USB c to dual HDMi and none of them work? Please help!!
hey there, i got the same last year, but the keyboard is black with white lettering and it was called "Scarlet Red' i love it, i still have it. Lot slimmer than my previous. i never had a red laptop until i found it. :)
Thanks for watching, I am glad you are happy with your laptop! I have been happy with this one!
@@ToddsGarage yeah the other day I dropped it. But it still works. 🙂
@@Romana125 I'm glad it still works!
@@Romana125 i spill tea on mines greatful mines it still works every hole is sealed up i dry it up carefully
I just bought this last friday.I love the red but I put a skin thing on it because my dog and cat will be stepping on it for sure.Great video.
How good is it for gaming like minecraft, asphalt 9, fortnite and roblox?
@@DannyCookie7 its not good for that.
Hi and thanks for watching, I am glad you are liking the laptop. Thanks again for watching the video!
It will become better for call of duty 😉
@@DannyCookie7 its not a gaming laptop but i do everything on this one that id do on a gaming on
Does this laptop have a cpu fan in it because I just took mine apart and it’s missing and I don’t see a connector to plug a new one into the motherboard
Hey Todd. Quick question I want a basic laptop just to watch UA-cam videos, browse the internet, homework and apply to jobs would you recommend this laptop for that?
you can do that with many laptops, people usually are picky because they worry about if the laptop can run games or hold enough storage.
The only way this laptop would be okay for that is to change to an SSD and change the operating system. My friend had one of these and was going to throw it away. I put in an nvme m.2 ssd. Upgraded the ram and installed Linux pop_os! Operating system. Now it's a usable laptop. But just changing the operating system to Linux without any upgrades makes the laptop much more usable instead of using windows.
I have the same laptop but my screen is not turning on. The LED lights are on but the screen is refusing to turn on. I'm really worried, my online classes are starting soon:(
You have 14 days to return any electronic devices with receipt to Walmart if I was you pack it and take it back and get the same one and I will try to turn it on in the car right there in Walmart parking lot just in case.
Hi @Tod I just order this at Walmart. Can I download app in this loptop ?
Its a little slow when up loading and took for ever to update but still the screen and battery life is fantastic
yes it is but it will get better in time windows 11 remember just launched
Did u guys find a solution to fixing the slowness
Hello I'm going to save up money for it for my school work and I heard roblox works well on it so yeah your review helped me out alot
Did you work on polar express?
I bought a laptop power bank and my port c won't charge. It discharged my laptop
Mine is extremely slow, have you done any fixes/optimizations for it?
Hi and thanks for watching. I haven't done any upgrades on mine yet. I was thinking about adding some memory to it, but haven't done that yet.
same
Ours was slower than our 10 year old disposable Lenovo... Unreal. How is this possible with nothing loaded on here? The poor man always pays twice!
@@virgilsstudio Thanks for the warning. I hate slow laptops, ur right. the poor man pays thrice.
@@virgilsstudio did u find anything that fixes this issue on the computer
What kind of charger it takes ?
Will it run old school RuneScape?
Im putting one like this back in the box now. Opened it up today and not happy. Its tooooo slow. Not going to try to upgrade a brand new item, its going back..
Thanks for watching, I am sorry you didn't like the computer. Hope you are able to find one that works for you.
Hi Todd, can an ethernet cable be connected? If so, can you share how?
Hi, thanks for watching! It does have an ethernet port. I will add that to my list of videos to make and hopefully can make in the near future.
@@ToddsGarage thank you!
best upgrade i did was go withh ssd much better for sure..easy to get out of s mode.just log in microsoft acct click get and voila no s mode.home…
Was looking to upgrade my 10 year old HP laptop that I bought for 200 in 2013 but after reading the comments I will just hang with mine for another year. I only use my laptop to file my taxes and maybe visit a website or two. I don’t even have home internet and when I use my laptop I use my mobile hotspot. I mainly just use my phone for everything now.
My dad got this for my birthday and my brother
im getting this exact laptop for me but i have a Question, does it go smooth on games like Roblox ?
Thanks for watching, I am not sure I haven't played any games on it. Sorry I can't be more help.
@@ToddsGarage Okay
@@imsosuperduper yeah i have it, it runs good
@@imsosuperduper it would lag depending on what you use like for me in roblox why i put the game to high quailty it lags in some games
If you put it to high graphics it will have lower frame rates but if you have it on automatic it's okay
How do i order a new battery for mine?
I got the same one, except mine came with a 128GB SSD
My HP 15 has a AMD Ryzen 5700U APU instead of a Pentium (now Intel Processor).
Can u stream n play games ? Just asking before purchasing
Hi and thanks for watching! I am not sure if it can handle both. I decided to upgrade the memory on mine and it is faster for me now.
Dose anyone know if it could run a game I was just looking for a simple laptop to play my sims 4 on that’s really all I want it for so I think it should run it fine
I play Sims on mine n it's fine!
@@lisalynn8217 i was looking for this comment about the sims lol
It lets you play some games but would not recommend because of the 4 gb ram
@@okiniiri__furawazu2439 if I upgrade my ram to 8GB will that be good?
@@kenji__ the thing is idk how you can upgrade a laptop's ram because it's like more compacted within the laptop than a PC. So honestly idk how that would work upgrading the ram for it but some people have suggested to me alot to get a graphics card and ssd card to improve its performance
Hola uso una chromebook y ocupo una laptop por que no hay espacio para almacenar archivos, he pensando en esta tengo duda por que no se puede bajar chrome.
¿Se puede bajar juegos? También me gustaría bajar un juego.
No lo ocupo para cosas de diseños ni así pero si cosas de google.
Si se puede
What generation ?
How many times did you say and?
I was planning on getting the pink one tysm!
Is there light for the keyboard ?
Hi and thanks for watching! This laptop doesn't have a lighted keyboard unfortunately. Thanks again for watching!
How is the battery life?
Hi and thanks for watching! I am not sure, my laptop is plugged in most of the time so I don't regularly use the battery up all of the way. It will vary though depending on what you are doing on the laptop. Thanks again for watching!
my fan isnt working help
How's it for gaming like American truck simulator?
Not good don't waste your time
Does it have a video editor on there?
This laptop would not be able to handle any real video editing.
Can you game on it does it have touch screen and hows the camera quality?
I am able to play runescape on this. Much it won't handle much more than that. I upgraded to an SSD, added more ram and installed Linux popos on it. Now it's a nice little basic machine.
HERE HERE HERE. lol. love it
Will this work for my cricut explore? 🤔
planning to buy this laptop
Thanks for watching!
Dudes, can I play TotalWar games on this?
im gonna cut a hole inside my desk to make the air go out below and put a fan under it
Very slow because it has a spinning hard drive not an ssd. We upgraded it to 8Gb and an nvme (yes it has an nvme slot believe or not) any it boots in 30 seconds.
I made mine even faster by installing Linux instead of using windows. Upgraded ram and nvme and using Linux. Alot less hardware intensive OS.
yep some of these comments are bs, mines have 32gbs of ram running in dual channel mode and a 1tb nvme ssd with windows 11 and it runs flawlessly 👌
Highly recommend I played fortnite valorant genshin impact had no problems
Thanks for watching! I am glad you are liking the computer!
I have the same laptop but it's screen is glitching, I tried factory resetting it to see if it had anything to do with that and it didn't fix it, do you know what I could do to fix it?
Hi and thanks for watching! I am not sure what the problem could be, I would try to get ahold of HP and see if they can help. Good luck and I hope you are able to get it fixed.
Mine won't come on what can it be?
Thanks for watching. I am sorry I'm not sure. Unfortunately it could be many different things. How long ago did you buy the laptop? Is it still under warranty? If it is under warranty still I would try to contact HP to see if they can help. Thanks for watching and good luck and I hope you get it fixed.
I have to return it tomorrow
I dont own this laptop. so i dont know the info. but i noticed people have been stating that its slow. the reason for that, has to do with its Processor, (under system info) look up Processor, that GHz# should be atleast 3.00 Ghz, or higher. and Ram should be 8gb or more. The processor is the main thing that helps run the pc/laptop smoothly. anything 2.00 or less is gonna run slow or laggy.
Is there a way to increase the processor and RAM?
@@candace8217 on this laptop, i doubt it!, however the ram and hard drive are upgradeable. ram could be upgraded 8gb, 16gb, 32gb and so on. (depending on your pc spec..) and the hard drive could be upgraded, i would say 500-1tb is good enough.unless you're a gamer or such who needs lots of space.
@@JasonKattDo you upgrade it yourself or someone else has to do that?
@@MaybeRival I winded up buying the HP red laptop . And upgrades the memory. I didn't get to upgrade the SSD cause I thought the one I had would fit but it didnt. But yeah. I did it myself. It was fairly easy.
not really a gaming laptop but i still got it anyway
How are you liking it do you still have it?
Hey my fans are not working help?
is it good for college student
Thanks for watching, my opinion is for most yes, but it does depend on their specific needs. The price is great and has been a good laptop so far.
Can you please let me know if it’s good to buy for college student?
@@badhasa431 yes it is i have one
My dad bought one and its slow asf
Mine to 😂
It could run a couple of games if add a better stick of ram
@@nonamechannelsupeme it has a pentium, why bother?
@@someonesomeone3457 you should bother to add a new processor lol
I was considering to purchase one till I saw this comment bro😂🤣
Uhh hate that pc got ran into a problem hard disk error 301
Thanks for watching, sorry your computer is having issues. I would try to contact HP for tech support to see if they can help.
@@ToddsGarage ok
What is the watts?
45W
This would've been perfect if they put in an SSD instead of an HDD
Does it come with a microphone🤔
Thanks for watching, it does have a built in one!
can it upgrade to windows 11?
Yes
Is this laptop touch screen ?
Thanks for watching, this laptop is NOT touch screen. Thanks again for watching and good luck on finding the laptop you want.
Is it good for online school?
I got it about 2 weeks ago & it’s been going pretty well for me. So I’d say yes.
In my opinion it sucks, the hard drive completely died, it's slow as hell, and virus scanning takes forever literally
Can i use oculus quest 2 on this?
How do I replace hard drive I wanna get rid of hard disk error
I could help you with that
Is it touch screen??
No
Is it touch screen
No.
What is the price????
Hi thanks for watching! When I bought it, it was $329.00. I have seen it go up and down from that price since though!
Can it run games like Fortnite or call of duty?
I have one also but the 128 gb of memory is not enough this is a very fast pc
Does it only comes in that red color?
Hi and thanks for watching. It might come in other colors, but I have only seen it in the red color. Thanks again for watching!
@@ToddsGarage oh really bcuz i only see it in red even when i look it up online. Thank for the reply and your welcome!!!
@@niya4670 Ya I have only seen it in the red too for this model. There might be a similar model out there in a different color I'm not sure though.
I have this exact laptop that I bought yesterday. Right out the box it is super slow. Stay away from this laptop!
I think it’s your internet it works awesome never is slow
Mine was super slow when I tried to use the Internet. It's weird because my old HP internet works perfectly, no lagging. Were you able to fix yours?
@@candace8217 mine is great never lagged. It lagged once when it needed an updated
Agreed. This is a super slow laptop. Beware
@@mperformance3502 try updating it. I had to update it, and it's worked great ever since. I hope that helps.
nope
if your thinking of buying one of these **BE WARNED**: at first it may run slightly fast but over time it ages like spoiled milk, dont try to run any games on this (even roblox) this is possibly the worst laptop you can get for 300-400 dollars.The processor reaches speeds of 3.4 ghz but i see that i havent been able to reach nearly as fast as speeds after a few months of usage. Dont be fooled, there are better computers that will last longer..however if your interested in strictly work related things (completely simple tasks then this is for you)
I have one hate it
Upgrade it to an ssd. Maybe toss in another 4GB of ram. I'd also suggest using a Linux OS. I'm running pop_os on mine and it's made it a usable machine now.
e
i would not buy this laptop its okay not really good pc for gaming it might lag but you play a game that has low graphics but its an okay pc but i hope u have a bless day
Crap laptop. So slow
Trash laptop 💻 gave me nothing but issues
@Elizabeth did u end up finding a solution
Can I game on this laptop (sims)
this was the first laptop i ever bought, good price laptop definitely not for gaming. 4gb ram is good for streaming and browsing but not the best for multitasking. i put in a 1tb ssd drive and 20gb ram to see if it would run games but no the intel pentium integrated graphics are not good for 3D gaming if u want a low price laptop that can game look for a intel core series is a little bit higher in price but it will give you minimal requirements met for games like dark souls.
Bro I was playing Roblox on this thing and it’s laggy asf
@@CactusJackTravisScott unlock the extra two cpu processors and its smoother, about 2.5ghz for me
