I7 Intel processor with 2.5GHz speed is ofcourse latest technology in market which rise its market price to such an extent.
Moreover 8 GB RAM helps in fast processing and which again adds extra cost for this configuration and males it costlier.
If someone is investing such a high amountfor the laptop then its obvious expecting atleast 1TB hard disk but they have to satisfied with only 256 Gb hard disk, which a negative point for its configuration.
2GB NDVIDIA graphics inbuilt make it fit for both gaming as well as 3D works and its general expectation for now a days notebook.
It weighs only 2.1 kg which is helpful in carraying it to anywhere. Again battery backup is good and 4 USB PORTS ALL 3.0 is very plus point which helps us to tranfer data at very high speed with all USB ports.
Rest is like general notebook of HP.
Screen is 15.6 inch with LED backlighting makes it very good.
Anither drawback is that WINDOWS 8.1. I mean comeon HP according to such a high price we are expecting WINDOWS10 . and who wanna buy Win8.1 when at lower price someone is getting win10 with 1TB hard disk at comparatively lower price.
I understand HP is oldest and trusted brand but they cant statisfy us with 256GB HARD DISK only at such an high price.
Overall
Price is very HIGH.
Hard disk space is VERY LOW.
RAM is enough.
Processor which latest Intel I7.
Windows 8.1 which was least expected.
I would suggest if you are not a big fan of HP prefer different.
Finally I would say this notebook is not well configured.
Thank you.
