I love the size and weight of this Windows Laptop.  Since I only do research and check my email messages, it is convenient and ideal.  Important caveats:  1) If you already have virus protection software (other than McAfee that was offered for an additional fee if purchasing this particular laptop), you will not be able to download your preferred software because it is in 'S' mode (please look up its meaning).  Unless one is computer-savvy, a low-tech person will not be happy if they are not able to find someone to remove 'S' mode.  Downloading any type of software --  is blocked, period.  I have to take it elsewhere to remove 'S' mode in near future.  2) HP website is not user-friendly.  Options for what you need is not readily available.  A 'Community Forum' may be impressive to others but I was not impressed when I could not easily navigate in order to find what I needed.  3) Although I just bought the laptop a few days ago, after putting in info for warranty, laptop warranty had only 4 months left (?!?!).  I tried to chat but after inputting dispute warranty info, I never connected to anyone and it buffered for a couple of minutes.  I'll see how it works out if 'S' mode can easily be removed, to include its performance.  Besides not easily connecting with HP to resolve my needs and having to drive elsewhere to remove 'S' mode, I hope the computer performs well, especially for the reasonable price.
