HP 15.6" Ryzen 5 8GB/256GB Laptop-Rose Gold

When I was given the opportunity to do a Spark Review for the HP 15.6 AMD Ryzen 5 processor 8GB Ram/ 256GB SSD Rose Gold Laptop I Jumped at the opportunity. I've been around Computers all my life and have had many desktop PC's and Laptops in my time. I took my time and examined and used the laptop, doing the things one would normally do in a day by day usage and this laptop did not disappoint. One of the first things you will notice is the large keyboard keys, although they do not light up, they are large enough to see and type on with no problems (this will aid thouse with sight impairment problem like me). I'm also very surprised at how "thin" this laptop is, It weighs almost noting, which would aid those of you with students going back to school this fall. Next are the added ports to the unit. It comes with Two-USB ports and One-USB Type "C "port there are also a SD-Card reader port for thouse of you with digital cameras and One-HDMI port and yes! there is a jack for headphones if you go that route, However this unit supports Blue tooth for thoughts of you that preferer your headphones to be wireless along with other Bluetooth devices you may have. And one of my Favorite things is the speed of this unit. It has a KBG30ZMV256G KIOXIA 256GB SSD drive in it. And if you've never had a SSD drive in your computer, you are in for a Big Surprise!... they are "Extremely Faster" than the old HHD's are. The boot time for Windows 10 is literally seconds with a SSD drive and when using a App they will open almost simultaneous with no wait time to mention. You will also notice that this unit is running the AMD RYZEN 5 3500U with Radeon Vega Mobile Gfx Processor. This processor definitely lives up to its name, and is a excellent choice. This unit also has a very nice and "Large" touch pad which is very responsive and adds another very nice feature to the unit. The one thing that I wish the unit had was a Larger display Resolution. It supports a 1366x768 resolution which is HD But I'd like to go a little bit higher for gaming purposes only. So Folks to wrap it up If you are looking for a very nice small Laptop That has close too, if not better! performance than some of the more exspencive units on the market. Than this unit will Surly Not Disapoint and "Yes" I do recommend this unit to everyone.

The first thing you notice about this HP 15.6 Ryzen 5 laptop is the nice rose gold color. The laptop is pretty thin so it does not feel bulky. When I first started it up, it was really easy to get things going and to personalize it. I connected it to our wifi and I synced it with our bluetooth sound system. I am able to print via bluetooth/wifi as well. I started adding other programs and apps and this laptop handled it all well. So far I have not noticed it freezing up or lagging. I have not run anything TOO extensive so I am not positive how it would handle things like heavy duty PC games or music programs, for example. I did give the video editor a try and it handled it well. I have not noticed it get overheated at all. It stays cool. The keyboard feels comfortable and the touch pad is not overly sensitive like some are. I plugged in a mouse to use instead of the touch pad and that is working fine. Visually things look great on the screen. The color is full and it all looks smooth. Summed up, I love this laptop!
