HP15 inch Laptop, HD Display, 13th Generation Intel Core i5-1334U, 8 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD, Intel Iris Xe Graphics, Windows 11 Home, 15-fd0012nr (2024)

this is my first Windows computer in 20 years. I wanted something that would last a while and be easy to use yet have the green technology that I was looking for. Wonderful functionality, i5 processor chip is fast, and was worth ever dollar I spent. lightweight as heck.

Buen producto

Despite what Amazon's first video (20 seconds into playing it), the laptop does NOT have a backlit keyboard! The rest of the machine seems fine at this point. I have only had it one day so we shall see how it goes. The advertising is very deceptive on this feature. That was one thing I was really looking for as I do much of my work on the computer in a low light room.

Producto totalmente nuevo como se describe, igualmente su configuración. Único detalle, creo que el courrier saco de la caja de protección y la caja llegó muy golpeada pero todo funciona bien. No sé vió afectada por lo narrado.

I could not hate this computer more. Nothing but problems especially staying connected to internet. Many, many attempts to figure it out have been unsuccessful. It also wants to make decisions for me so constantly resetting things. This morning the audio decided to not work and says no audio installed. One thing after another. Save your money. Don't buy this computer.

I was in the market for a new laptop. I don’t do any gaming, so I didn’t need the latest and greatest. I was looking for at least a quad core cpu, 8gbs ram minimum. I don’t keep up with up intel CPU’s like I use to. I saw this had an i5 13th gen cpu. Did some further digging to see it was a 10 core cpu with 12 threads (way better than I was looking for and the price point of about $400). This was a no brainer. I was not able to find much regarding upgradability. I also purchased some ram sticks (32gb). First thing I did was upgrade the ram. It was super easy to access. Just take out the 4 screws on the bottom of the case. Use a guitar pick and slide it along the edge of the case. The back will eventually pop off easily (Just be gentle). There’s 2 ram slots (1 occupied by the pre installed 8gb stick). This laptop can take up to 64gb of ram (DDR4-3200). I do programming so I have a lot of windows open and they devour memory. The computer is super responsive and boots up in no time. If you decide to upgrade, you do not have to go overboard like me. 16gb will be enough for most users (2x8gb).The battery was dead when it arrived, so I did have to charge it during the setup process, no biggie. The computer is lightweight, and is decently built. I love having the 10-key on the side. The ONLY thing I wish it had was an SD card slot.

I did not try to change out the drive or the ram so I am unsure if the laptop can be upgraded or if the ram is soldered into the board. Regardless, 8 gb of ram will work for every day use bare minimum device these days. This laptop so far has worked well for every day use. I gave this to my cousin to use in college setting and it works great so far. The laptop is on the heavier side compared to others of this size but it is thin. It still has the same issues as most HP computers though which is the weak hinges. I am not sure why the hinges are always so weak with HP but it is the same for this one. The i5 processor is not bad and does great for most multitasking. The battery life on this is not too bad but it is not as strong as many other devices. It really only last about five hours on average use. Unfortunately the fan is a bit loud on day to day use. The charge is not bad either. Upon boot up of the HP laptop, the laptop boots up at a decent speed. It does have a little of a hard time going from sleep to powering on. The setup is just like any other desktop/laptop and pretty straight forward. You do not have to install any driver installation. There is not too much bloatware on this. The laptop also has a 15.6 inch screen but the resolution is only 1366 x 768. It is not even 1080 which is a bit of a bummer. You can only get 1080 p if you connect external monitor. The screen has an okay brightness but not the best quality. It still keep the traditional two USB port as well so you do not have to buy an adapter for this laptop while also having the type c (non thunderbolt) port charge charging and using with a dock if you have one. The laptop can be angled back for better viewing but it cannot be pushed back all the way. The hinges again feel a bit flimsy which make me worried about future use. The bright silver color casing does get easily scratched up and the wrist rest fades slightly overtime. The keys are okay and pretty standard. The trackpad is okay but not as nice to use. There is a camera that will record at at least 720p. You also get a switch to cover the webcam. The microphone is not bad but it does pick up some surrounding noise. There is a 3.5 port to plug in headphones/microphone. You can do some emulating of old games on this but nothing that is graphic intensive. The overall charge time depends but it can take up to four hours to charge the laptop to 100% on average. The speaker system is okay. It does the job for something like this but it is not surround center. The heat from this unit still has the same issues in that the HP runs a hot and the fan gets a bit loud. The processor is an i5 which is good enough power for what is needed on a daily. Overall this laptop still has the same HP problems in that it gets hot, fans loud, hinges are not very strong, and the battery life is not as good. I would not really get this as a budget PC because of that.

I have taken a while to set up this new LT pending my need to transfer all data. I like it very much. Easy to work with and I am old and non-technical so that is a necessity!!! Overall I am very pleased with all aspects of the product that I acquired at a VERY reasonable price.Thank you.
