I have always purchased Dell laptops so purchasing an HP is an entirely new experience for me. I am not an extremely tech savvy person but i know the basics. I did a little research before purchasing this laptop and it seemed the best available in the 500 dollar price range. It has a sleek design and is aesthetically appealing. I use this laptop for both entertainment and general business functions.  The keyboard is smooth flowing and feels ergonomically designed as it sits comfortably in my lap.  It has great sound and the keyboard lights up nice and clear so you can easily type without error. Definitely worth the price, will buy again
