I bought this laptop two years ago and this laptop didnt get heated when you are using it for normal works like Powerpoint, watching videos, listening to music. But once you started playing games, this laptop gets heated and there is a lot of noise come from the cooling fan on the left side of the laptop.
Battery Life:
The battery of this HP laptop lasts for around 4Hours during the first six months. But now, it gets reduced to 1 Hour. This also varies if you are playing games on Battery charge.
Speed & Performance:
The performance of this laptop looks good and its quite faster for normal usage. But if you are using high-end software, the 4GB ram is not the best choice
Graphics:
This laptop has 2GB Nvidia 820M graphics Memory. This makes the laptop a step ahead of other laptops in this price range. But for hardcore gamers, this laptop is not recommended.
Laptop Body
This laptop has a Blacky smooth look. But it is made of cheap plastic, so while opening your laptop keep an eye on the Hinges because it gets broken if you are rough and tough. Once your Hinges are broken it will cost you 20% of your laptops cost. So be serious on this one!
Display
The HD display of this laptop is great for gaming as well as watching videos, movies, etc.
