It is light . It stays cool! It works faster . It has window 8 . I
love this guy . Plenty of ram and a large hard drive to store things . Window 8 start up and shut down times will stun you on new operating system.
This is one of the few new models that has a removable battery so you can change them out if you are constant user like me . A lot of the new ones are built in and when it’s dead you gotta plug in ( make sure you check that ) .
The touchpad is opened up a lot with this computer because of Windows 8 and by that I mean it has lot more function that just point and tap . It’s under four pounds with the battery in ! The display is stunning. And the sound is very good for a laptop. One of the best things in that the hp maintenance software runs unobtrusively in the background and right off the bat my laptop had problems with the fan suddenly spinning up quite audibly and locking the laptop completely somehow until you had to reboot. This happened twice and I was about to throw away when I did reboot and the laptop informed me that it was updating the bios and not to turn the power off.
