In some ways I like this laptop. The screen is large; it is light; and it charges quickly. But the track pad is a misery and really detracts from the value of the computer. It's too easy to resize the page or activate another program from the task bar when you are moving the cursor. The cursor lags and depending on your movement is easily lost in the screen. The click function only works in certain areas of the track pad and then not very well. A touch screen might overcome some of these problems, but it doesn't have one. A light computer with a large screen is a good idea, but the concept is brought low by poor operating mechanics. I would not recommend this computer to anyone, and I am disappointed in HP.
