HEY ALL!
So i have recently purchased a laptop. I though i would give you my review and ask you some questions.
I will update as time goes by
Specs
Processor: Intel Core i3-2350m @ 2.3GHz
Chipset: Intel HM77
Graphics Card: GT 630m 1gb
Memory(RAM) :4GB
Hard Drive : 500gb 5200 rpm
Screen Size: 15.6" LED
Processor/Chipset
I have no problem loading things, takes little time. Not much too say other than it stays cool for a laptop but thats more to do with the fans. Same with chipset.
Graphics
Haven't gamed yet other than facebook games. It plays video really well , haven't had a single buffer on 720p.
Memory (ram)
I thought 4gb would be enough, but i use about 2gb using chrome (6 pinned tabs). Thinking of upgrading.
Can have lots of tabs but i like speed.
Hard Drive
Not quick but tolerable, willing to upgrade but RAM is first on list. Booting takes about 15 seconds. I can have it on standby which doesn't consume battery and can get on chrome in under 7 seconds. space is good. used 66gb on my C: Drive (reserves some for D: )
Screen
Good quality, will come good when i get games.
Sound
Sounds like external speakers. Too scared to go to full volume, never been there
Keyboard and Trackpad
Keyboard is really ergonomic for a laptop, has a slight desktop feel so i know i pressed it.
Trackpad is accurate and easy to control.
Anything Else
Fingerprint scanner:
Good, doesn't always scan but easy to setup and you can assign webpages, can also use it to login to windows and webpages.
Warmth:
Not warm at all, feels slighty warm but not hot, like a pet cat. also purrs like one too.
QUESTIONS
I want to upgrade RAM, crucial says i should get 16gb ram but HP say 8gb, what is more sensible?
My friend says HP are not reliable, should i be concerned?
