HP 15s-fq0012na 15.6 Inch Full HD Laptop, Intel Core i5-8265U, 8 GB, 512 GB SSD, Windows 10 Home - Natural Silver

Amazing laptop for its price. I am reviewing it after 1 month of use.Display: full hd display.Nice clarity.Processor/RAM/GPU- very fast processor. Integrated 620 GPU. 4 cores i5 and max 3.4 ghz. 8 gigs ram. I was even able to install unity game engine to develop 3D games. Processor fan sometimes make bit of noise but nothing unusual. Fine with me. I have researched a lot about the processor it uses and it is one of the best in its class. In fact it can compete with older i7 generations as well. But if you want a gaming laptop, a dedicated graphics card is a must. But basic games or not so graphics rich games is ok in this one. Well I have not tried much though but I did research on the processor.Audio: Acceptably good. Obviously you won’t expect surround sound on a laptop speaker at this price. You can always cast or use headphones for audio enhancements.Weight: acceptable weight. Very sleek design. Did not heat up as such.Hard disk SSD: Swift reboot. You will get 476 GB space out of 512. No hassle of shut down and restart long waits.Only notable thing observed is: It has usb 3.1 port and I was not able to easily transfer files from iphone to laptop. Few files were transferred but bulk copy failed. For android it Is perfectly fine. But this is not a laptop specific issue though. It is security issue between iOS and non iOS platforms. So I downloaded from icloud.Keypad/Touch pad: These are fine. Keypads are ok nothing great. Touch pad is very good. No backlit. Well I don’t mind using a cheap usb light instead of spending excess on backlit keypad laptops.Battery is average. I'm getting about 6hrs.Overall: with extensive research this laptop gives the best value for money in its class. Other brands on this config is much more expensive. I got this at £489.99.

Definitely best value for money in this price range. I bought mine for 489.99.Very good laptop overall, sturdy but slim.The ports are inclusive, the WiFi receiver is really good as well as the Bluetooth.The speakers are surprisingly good, but not as good as a £20/30 Bluetooth speaker by any means.Battery life is absolutely fine for me, gets me through college, (7-8 hours) perfectly well with some left in the tank by the time I'm home.The screen is somewhat lacking but for this price range and the specifications otherwise that come with this laptop you've got to compromise somewhere. The compromise on this laptop is with the screen. Luckily I do not mind but from an angle it becomes severely distorted and the ability to distinguish different dark colours can be difficult, which is a pain when there is dark text over a dark background which I find happens more often than I thought.The SSD is absolutely fantastic. Amazing size for the price and with it being a pciSSD its speed is very very good. I measured over triple my desktop SATA SSD. Not quite the performance of a desktop PCIe SSD but again, it is a very good value laptop for the price range, and the performance of the SSD is still extremely good and not going to slow the average person down at all.

I have had this laptop for almost 3 years and it still works perfectly. It is still relatively fast when using the web, and is perfect for using word, Google docs, excel, etc. The screen isn’t as crystal clear and colourful as some more expensive laptops, but it is still perfectly adequate and looks good. Brightness levels are also good and the keyboard is as well. Overall I would say that this is really good and recommend buying it if you need a laptop for school/uni/everyday things. (I can’t comment on whether it is good or not for gaming as I am not a gamer!)

I bought this as a replacement for my broken laptop that I had for many years. On opening it is clear this is a really good looking piece of kit with sleek silver case and black interior and keyboard. There is barely any bezel around the edge of the screen which also adds to the aesthetic. My wife’s 15” laptop (also hp) feels so much heavier and lager than this, in fact when delivered it almost feels like the box is empty! I highly recommend the SSD as boot up time is currently 4 seconds! I have only been using this a week or so but so far so good!

I've had this 5 months and use it mainly for photo editing, yet already the letters have nearly rubbed off the keys, if I was using it for any kind of office related tasks they would be blank by now I suspect. Mouse is not great either, easily caught, and moves the cursor when typing, so everything needs checking.It's actually pretty fast and light, the sound is really good ...shame it's let down by the interface!

I am overjoyed with my laptop. I was always dubious about SSD laptops but it is lightning fast, also to start up and shut down! The battery life is great and the display is crisp and clear. I will always buy an SSD laptop in the future now too! It is very lightweight, even compared to my previous device which was only 4 years old (an ASUS laptop). I would highly recommend it!

Good:- nice screen and keyboard, light and fast in use.Not so good:- constant noise (I assume the fan) not excessive but can be intrusive in a quiet area. Mine had an unusual screen fault that slowly developed a few months in, so had to to be returned, but that was just unlucky I think as technicians had not seen that fault before.

Seems a reasonable machine except that I randomly get white noise coming from the speakers. Mouse pad takes some getting used to. Otherwise display, keyboard, webcam and wi-fi all seem good.
