I've owned this HP laptop for almost four months (my first laptop) and no problems at all. It does boot up very fast, it is quiet, and responsive to all of my basic needs. Set up was very easy. The battery life is the only downfall, but since this is my first laptop I'm not familiar with how long a battery should run before needing a charge. I get about 3 hours before I need to plug it in. Other than that, this is a great laptop (so far).
