NOT WHAT IT'S CRACKED UP TO BE - Hot-HOT-hot possibly hot enough it's hitching web browsing & gaming; minor fan noise, and since it runs hot it's on a LOT I expect I'm going to be replacing this one sooner than later and making use of that warranty. Laptop runs REALLY hot. Like, this is hotter than the computer I was replacing because it was running hot on some online casual games, and it hits that high heat just web browsing/shopping or having music running while also working in powerpoint with basic slides (images and text; no transitions or effects, not recording, not timing, no hyperlinks or video - bare bones basic slide decks). In the time I've been online in just this one tab writing the review, WITH the laptop elevated above the board for airflow, the computer has gotten hot enough that you can smell it and the heat is coming through the keyboard on lefthand side enough that a chocolate bar would melt in less than a minute. Two nights ago I stuck a bag of peanut M&Ms behind it on the desk and a half hour later when I grabbed them (again: on a laptop board that's elevated with two fingers of airflow) enough heat had blown past that the chocolate was melting inside the coating (11/10 rec that for the M&Ms; do not rec the computer). The fan isn't obnoxious, but it is notable. There's a high-pitched undertone that may bother some people. Was supposed to be smooth and ideal for business and play, but the two online games the $600 2021 laptop runs fine - a little hot, but fine - hitches and hang up here and there with this one. Transfer speeds are slower than expected via USB's, including the portable SSD that came with this package (used it just as a test in case it was my backup drive). Battery drops 30% in 1 hour running 1 ppt and periodically hitting email, periodically opening word or a second slide deck, having a reference image open, and periodically doing a web search. (Basic slides, images but no transitions or video, relatively small versus what the lower-grade 5 year old computer was running with some minor delays in saving the larger ones; this one has already hit a 3-7 second pause saving the mid-sized so I'm really looking forward to the big ones now.) This thing WOULD NOT hold up for major gaming, and you'd maybe get one movie in on battery, especially if it's running it off the DVD player that came in the package set. Just not a good buy, not a great value. Disappointing because I'd enjoyed the previous HP laptop enough to grab this instead of going back to Acer as I'd intended to do since my mother and nephew both love the Acers picked out for them (my hangup there was that the Acers tend to sound like a jet engine preparing for takeoff... regrets). Complete aside: The mouse that comes in the kit is FANTASTIC - super smooth, super quiet clicks, super forgiving of surfaces; downside is that it's USB charge only, no replaceable battery so one more drain.
