★★★★☆ My need was a relatively cheap laptop with a large monitor functional for work via Citrix or using SSH, neither particularly high demand. This laptop fits the bill and has come very good qualities, even though it's missing some more modern connectors like USB-c, Thunderbolt or DisplayPort and has a relatively small SSD.The full keyboard is large and has great tactical feedback as well as a separate numeric key pad. The trackpad and buttons are the same - I like that they are all separate vs the uni-pad with buttons underneath and are not predictable. Input on this laptop is very fast. My only gripe is there is no back light which can make working in low light hard .It only has Intel UHD graphics, suitable to drive up to 3 monitors with the onboard HDMI or a separate USB video cable, but that does take away from the onboard memory. I actually chose it for this fact as I have had problems with both ATI and NVidia mobile chipsets. The processor is not ever going to run at 3.6 Ghz though as the laptop would melt. That;s a theoretical number on only 1 core were it on a desktop. Actual operating range is more like 700Mhz - 1200 Mhz given Speed Shift and battery/power limits. Still, this was okay for me.USB 3 SS is past it's prime and the DVD burner is just plain old but I understand this reduced the cost which is even more important to me. It met my demands but I understood I was trading power for value in this model, the reason I give it a fairly high rating.
★★★★☆ I describe this as basic because of its 256 G hard drive and its medium (i5) CPU. It's pretty much what you'd expect from HP. There are two issues you should know about if you are buying this one. First, it comes with Windows Home in S mode. S mode apparently stands for "secure," but it is laughably limiting. You can only use Edge with it, for example. You cannot download anything from anyplace except Microsoft. Even McAfee, a 30-day trial of which comes with this computer, cannot be downloaded. So the first thing I recommend you do is turning S mode off - in effect, changing to Windows Home. This is done very easily through settings/update & security/activation. Select Go to the Store and then Switch out of S mode, then Get.The second thing you should know is that the DVD player, which is pretty flimsy to start with, is not factory set to any region. That means you will not be able to play your typical US movie without going to Device Manager; when the Device Manager window opens, expand DVD/CD-ROM drives. Right-click on your DVD player and then select Properties. Click on the DVD Region tab. Select the region in which you want to change to and click OK.Apart from these two minor issues, the PC appears to be satisfactory, with a nice 17" screen.
★★★☆☆ 17.3" HD+ LED-backlit Non-touchscreen (1600 x 900) Display...is the description, but there is no back light on this keyboard. Pushing the F5 key does nothing . It has no touchscreen capabilities. The description above shows it in the features. It is very fast. The keyboard is very comfortable.
