Hp 15 bg001ax notebook is good laptop as I feel. I am using this hp 15 bg001ax notebook by las three years. good quality bigger screen and good performance. I am find very fewer heating issue but thats not big deal because laptop is a machine and machine may be little bit heat up when used continuously. now about processer amd a8 is very good processer in my case I feel it is smoother and fast as I want equivalent to i3. no hanging issue found on my laptop. bettery life is good till now and this unbelivable. I feel this is perfect to me. may be to you.
