HP 15 Thin and Light Ryzen 3-3250 Laptop, 4 GB RAM, 1TB HDD, 38.1 cms, 15 inches FHD Screen, Windows 10, MS Office (AMD, 15s-gr0006au)

An excellent buy at 30k. All you need is an extra 8GB RAM (comes with 4GB installed) and a M.2 SSD which will make this run smoothly. I checked the ones which come with 8GB and SSD pre-installed but the pricing was much higher. My currently config after upgrade is 12GB+1TB(came with the original package) +500GB SSD. Pricing under 40K. Was lucky to get deals on the RAM and SSD as well.So initially when checked without the upgrade the boot time was 2.53 mins. Post upgrading the RAM alone still boot time was around 2 mins. The magic happened post the SSD upgrade which is clocked between 25-30 secs from the time POWER button is pressed.The system is running at quite good speeds and there is no lag at all in opening any applications. It comes preinstalled with Win 10 and MSO. It would also be good to see performance in gaming but since I am more into blogging and heavy picture editing I am finding this quite a wonderful addition to my kit while on the go.The screen looks quite amazing especially since it has the glossy finish and the LED display looks all the more elegant in the high contrast background. The display brightness can be adjusted as per your liking. I would suggest you to add a screen protector to avoid any scratches on the screen when under day to day use. Also, a keyboard protector would be nice if you want to avoid any damage due to accidental spill of liquid and food.Note: Unless and until you are not computer savvy please dont around prying to open the back cover. Remember your warranty becomes void once you do that and if you end up breaking anything in the process then you cant get it replaced as well. I wont be responsible for any damage that you do to your laptop in this process. If you are not sure of how to proceed either watch videos on youtube or get help from a professional.

I had purchased this for online classes for my son. He does his classes on Teams. From day 1, this laptop started showing sluggishness and started to hand multiple times a day when MS Teams classes are running. So I got the RAM upgraded to 16 GB and also got a 500 GB SSD drive installed with SSD as the boot device. While bootup time reduced slightly but the sluggishness and hangs/ screen freeze during Teams classes did not go away. 2 days back, the track pad, USD slots and speakers stopped working.I purchased this laptop as I wanted to buy a cheap but good laptop for the classes of my son. I chose this based on the reviews that I saw on Amazon. The reviews were more positive than the number of negative reviews. However, some of the negative reviews mentioned stories similar to the ordeal that we faced with this laptop. Now I realise buying this laptop was one of my worst decisions.HP also does not have a replacement policy for laptops more than 15 days old after purchase. Even if the laptop is within warranty. So that option is also not available.I strongly recommend buyers on Amazon not to buy this laptop. This laptop is bad. In fact, Amazon should stop listing it on its platform. I also ask HP to stop selling it and prevent prospective buyers from feeling cheated.

The laptop is good overall. But for kids’ school work, it’s quite slow. I added another 4GB to upsize the memory to 8GB which made it better. But with the HDD, normal startup, even wake-up from sleep are slow.While the laptop itself is good in terms of all other aspects, a good lesson for me not go for HDD based laptops anymore. It’s frustratingly slow. Even the manufacturers should not offering laptops with slow HDDs.

Only after 1-2 months use ,it staring working slow.Slow in booting, and processing.Don't know what the heck with the processor and Ram.All softwares are of fair quality and do not consume high power ..but even then the windows is running slow....then to after only 2-3 months of use.Sorry , but unsatisfied.😐Thinking of formatting or Buying a SSD😔.

Day 1 review : The laptop seems to be pretty good from the means of basic usage, student usage, taking classes compared to the other laptops that I received earlier. The CPU usage is very low when using the browser which is very good for a 4gb ram and 2.6GHz laptop. The bootup procedure is fast. However it is not a very lightweight laptop as mentioned in the product description. A very good deal at such a priceWill keep posting after regular intervals :)

I got this laptop for my kid's studies and it looked fit in the budget and had the right tools (MS office 2019: Word/Excel/PPT pre-installed free for life). It was delivered on time.The first boot up took 10+ mins, and I thought it was doing configuration and taking time. Post boot up, figured out that it had office 365 installed and not the office 2019, Student edition, which was mentioned available as part of the product.Called up Amazon customer care and I was redirected to HP customer care to talk on MS office related queries. I reached out to HP support and spent almost 2 hours with the technician, who promptly un installed the office 365 and installed the Office 2019 edition. The expectation was this should resolve the issue. But the product did not register itself.Now my query got escalated to Microsoft and am waiting on the product key to be sent to me.The HP support team was prompt and they in all respect tried to help me and to that I would like to give them the credit. May be I got a defective piece..Coming to the laptop performanceTakes 4 to 5 mins to bootOpened a Firefox browser and had 3 tabs open. The machine is getting stuck and non responsive. Could not even kill the instance.As per the advice, tried updating the drivers via auto update (Which I had turned off). Post some windows update, it started becoming even more slower and it takes time to identify the clicks also. Have raised the return request for this
