I kind of have the similar laptop so I think I can give a quite a better perspective on the performance of the laptop.
design
specifications
Ci3-5th Gen/4GB/1TB/2GB Graphics/Win 8.1/15.6'Full HD
PROS
Design
Looks are usually good for the HP laptops. Island keyboard is there. Very less thickness, looks great to use. light weight add to its pros.
Weight
as said above its light due to latest advancements in the technology
Display
Full HD is one of the pros for this laptop
l
SOMEWHAT ACCEPTABLE
Boot up time
Well it does not have latest SSD's. They have usual HDD's so the speed is the factor here
With SSD's the boot up time is not more than 20 seconds and can be little as 10 seconds, where as for the hdd's the boot uptime cane be between 45 to 60 seconds usual.
Performance
The performance usually depends on the two factors namely processor and the type of hard drive and of course RAM to certain level.
With HDD the speed lowers here as said above and the processor it has is i3(mediocre level) Though there is not much diference between the prformnce of i3 and i5 but as per the cost of this laptop it should have at least i5. RAM provided is 4gigs which is somewhat acceptable but not upto the mark
Graphic Card
Can play mediocre level games and some some big games but at low resolution
But you can definitely play call of duty, prince of persia, far cry etc
cost
as far as he specifications are concerned the cost is little more.service
service quality is acceptable
k
CONS
Heating
The laptop I have is similar to this and of the pavilion series . Though it performs good but heats up quite fast. If you are going to be using the laptop on your lap then certainly you have take in account of the heating problems. But it actually never overheated. cool sense technology is there
Built up quality
HP laptops usually do not have great built up quality as per my knowledge
but it still will work between 3 to 5 years
