HP 15.6" Pentium 4GB/128GB Laptop-Scarlet Red

The HP 15.6 PENTIUM 4GB/500GB LAPTOP-SCARLET RED when folded closed has a nice clean appearance. It is thin and sturdy. The scarlet red color is attractive. When the laptop is opened to expose the display screen and keyboard is when the surprises start. I was expecting to see a black keyboard and found a beautiful in appearance silver keyboard. The area around the keys is also done in silver. Overall, this laptop is quite attractive. The other surprise is that this laptop has a full keyboard similar to a desktop keyboard. The keyboard includes an numeric keyboard and a full set of “F” keys at the top of the keyboard. The keys are sized nicely for people with big fingers. The feel when the keys are depressed is not too different from a desktop keyboard. The monitor is bright enough to operate in a fully lighted room and be read easily. There is sufficient brightness margin to work around the swim-pool. Initial setup is almost handled by the laptop itself. It asks on screen questions and you supply the answers and in about 15 minutes or less the laptop is ready to go. Microsoft 365 is preloaded and all you must do is activate it on your Microsoft Account. This laptop has a large capacity hard drive plus the Microsoft 365 Cloud Storage. Storage memory should never be an issue. Thus far I have typically experienced about 10 hours of battery life on a single charge. When watching videos, the quality of the sound coming out of the laptop speakers is good. The voices and music are clear, easily understood and does not sound like it is coming out of a tin horn. This laptop has a lot of computing power and therefor is quite fast. When using a complex Excel spread sheet the recalculation speed is as fast as my desktop performing the same recalculation. Lots of computing power. The built-in camera creates great high-resolution videos. The camera works well with Skype and Facebook Messenger video telephone calls. This laptop has a full range of port types including an Ethernet port. The HP 15.6 PENTIUM 4GB/500GB LAPTOP performance is comparable to many desktops. My bottom line is “This Laptop has a lot to like.”
