This laptop replaced an HP Pavilion 17.3 laptop.  2002 model.  It has been a workhorse, but I wanted to upgrade to a faster model.I have transferred all my files, and have had time to get to know this machine.  I love it.Long battery live, fast charge, and fast start up.  Surfing, playing videos, and downloads are fast, too.I also have a newer HP Pavilion desk top, with an AMD Ryzen 5 processor.  It is fast.This HP laptop, with an i5 processor, is every bit as fast.I recommend this laptop to everyone, with the exception of extreme gamers.Great computer and a great price.
