HP15s-fq1012na 15.6 Inch Full HD Laptop, Intel Core i5-1035G1, 8 GB RAM, 256 GB SSD, Windows 10 Home, Silver

This is a brilliant wee laptop. Compared to any other laptop I ever had, personal or work, it's really the best so far. It boots in seconds, it loads in a few more seconds and it's ready to go. I'm a basic laptop user, meaning I don't game or run demanding programs, I am working though on really heavy word documents, full of hyperlinks, formatting, references etc that they some times crash even when working at my university's new desktops. It loads so fast and it has never crashed so far. The keyboard is really good, the screen is amazing, it's super light and it even looks elegant sleek. The memory might not be enough for those who save on the hard disc, but if you save on the cloud or external storage, then it's more than enough. Totally recommend it!

Had this for about 6 months now. I really like it! Does everything it needs to do, it’s a good weight, good colour and just a pleasure to operate. Excellent value for the price ( I paid £500). I recommend it.

Having had countless HP laptops over the years, I knew it would be high quality, well built and reliable. I am very pleased with it but one thing must be pointed out to less experienced customers. This laptop came with Windows 10 Home, as stated. However it was in fact Windows 10 Home S Mode. This is new to me, having retired from IT Support some years ago, and I wasted several hours of my life getting S Mode disabled. For those who haven't heard of it either, S Mode is a new feature from Microsoft, which limits you to installing only applications from the Microsoft Store. This excludes Chrome and Firefox, so desperate are MS to get us all using Edge and Bing rather than Chrome and Google. You can switch it off, but it wasn't easy to find out how. PLEASE, HP and Amazon, if you must include S Mode in the installation of Win 10 home, please provide clear instructions to disable it, or switch it off before sending it out. I am left wondering how MS have managed to install this anti-competitive restriction by default, and can only hope, for the sake of the sanity of other customers, that the courts soon stop them doing so. This only loses the laptop one star in this review, but a beginner might just assume Chrome and Firefox have disappeared for good, or get even more frustrated than I did while trying to switch it off. Play fair, please.

I bought this laptop because at the time, in the middle of lockdown, there wasn't much choice. I was unsure because of reviews about noisy fan. I have been very pleased with performance as the SSD is very fast and quiet. There were no problems with the standard setup and on startup it is very fast. No problems with Win 10 and the updates install quickly. The 'noisy fan' was not a problem - I hear it quietly but not often and with reliable software I am very pleased and regard this machine as value for money.

After reading all the reviews for this laptop, I am really pleased I went with my gut instinct. My criteria was icore5 and 8ram.This computer speaks to you! which helps you set up. Only wish the name was easy to say! After sussing my way around and gaining confidence going into settings, this laptop is amazing. Microsoft edge has transferred my accounts over with ease.This laptop is very light, sleek and the keys bounce softly when you type. Overall a great buy.

Laptop doesn't connect to the internet properly. Continuously disconnects even though wireless connection is on full power and laptop is connected to it. I believe other users have had the same issue. The support is a quagmire and I hope I get fully refunded but I doubt it as I already 'personalized' it by adding security (I didn't bother I've accepted a huge loss from this company)It has the most unsatisfying on button - you really don't know if you've turned it on.It doesn't go to 'sleep' properly but instead turns it self off - worse it has trouble restarting from sleep positionIt has the worst keypad for writing (I'm a writer) I've ever used right back unto zx spectrum - it's like the keypad has been put together from broken parts. Like all bad products it LOOKS good but functions awful.The port for a mouse is for left handed people - so if you're left handed it will be good for you.It has not ethernet port.The fan is VERY LOUD.It has windows 10 which everyone knows is not the best. You have to spend a long time closing off all the restrictions placed on you by windows 10 such as the ability to run your own software and security.Since writing my review there are more faults. The left button on the inbuilt mouse/pad area doesn't work properly, it's so clunky it makes the mouse move when you press down on it.Also when leaning on the edges of the laptop to write it makes the mouse move and it affects the curser in writing documents, so it becomes impossible to write unless I hover my hands over the keyboard.So I have to use this laptop for being online and my old laptop for writing still. SHOCKINGLY POOR QUALITY.I bought this laptop as my old one was an HP and worked great. It's better than this one and this one is 10 years newer.

Purchased for daughter's uni work - she's delighted. Great laptop - good battery life, sleek, fast and nice to look at. I'm not sure it's great value considering we purchased it during lockdown when prices were not at their lowest, but it wasn't exorbitant and I don't feel that it was over-priced. Should last her for a few years.

Only had it for a month or so but, as some other reviews have reported, laptop got stuck on startup with some recovery loop. After several hours trying different options I was finally changed boot option (F10 to enter BIOS) to start from USB and reinstalled Windows 10 from bootable flash drive. Luckily I have a bit of IT experience, otherwise it would have been an expensive paperweight for the desk! Let’s see if problem reoccurs.
