I purchased this laptop 2 months earlier only and since then I was using the services of HP.
My observations were, that the performance was OK-OK not that much good, as it is a budgeted laptop, So you wont expect much inside this.
Although the build quality is good, but I have to keep it with extra care because it seems to be damaged very easily.
There was no heating as and till I was doing my normal work. but as I moved to the gaming part, this notebook was on fires. it had gone hot in an instant and there was this hissing sound coming from the graphics card.
HP Support assistant shows this product is no longer serviced by HP when I check support options. I called them in this regard and they told me that is not true, this laptop is supported by them & I can get extended warranty if required.
The display brightness is ok, but it glares too much which really affects your eyes.
So, my opinion would be that, you should consider a better option before buying this one.
