Normally I just get knock off watch straps but decided to grab this Apple brand one on a Deal of the Day. What a nice watch strap! It feels better vs the knock off ones, but I would not pay full price for it. There is a difference in this Apple brand one vs the knock off ones I have purchased on other sites. However, I would not pay $50 for this.

Very nice entry level HP laptop
on April 29, 2020

Verified Purchase:Yes
Picked this HP laptop on sale ($239) for my daughter in 4th grade to do school work. It has decent specs out of the box: 4gb RAM and 128gb SSD hard drive. The processor is great: AMD Athlon 3050u Silver 2.3GHz with boost up to 3.1GHz. Its very lightweight and attractive jet black with a textured finish. The HDLED screen is very nice for the price of this laptop. WINDOWS 10 in "S" mode comes pre-installed.
*I want to let everyone know that this HP laptop does indeed have 2 RAM memory slots (each slot has removable RAM cards) and only ONE slot is being used with a 4gb card. Nothing is soldered in.
(from what I was able to find, the total RAM can be upgraded to 16gb: 8gb + 8gb) however, I chose to retain the factory installed 4gb card and just add a 8gb card in the empty slot. Quick and easy job to do.
I purchased a Patriot 8gb SODIMM DDR4 2666MHz 260 pin card and it installed easily in the open slot. Total job required removing 6 screws (4 are hidden under rubber strips) and 2 are exposed. Install from start to finish was 15 min. EASY. Basic philips head.
The laptop booted up fine and ran very fast. I confirmed the 12gb total RAM by launching task manager and looking at memory performance. Solid cheap $32 upgrade for the 8gb RAM stick.
The 128gb SSD hard drive is fine for her now, but it would be very easy to upgrade that as well down the road. The stock 128gb SSD is made by Kingston: series 350DE and HP part # L50361-001. Its held in by a single screw and shape is similar to the RAM stick.
So, my overall opinion is this: Its a basic HP laptop with a nice screen and the 128gb SSD is a nice touch (easy to upgrade later) and waaaaay better than the old mechanical hard drives.
Its running WINDOWS 10 in "S" mode and that's fine for kids.
The 4gb RAM is the glaring weak spot, but with a small screwdriver, 15 min of your time and a $32 new 8gb RAM card installed this laptop becomes a beast. Battery is a Li-ION 3 cell, decent and seems to be fine so far. Again, the biggest issue was the 4gb RAM. Now it has 12gb RAM and it's a huge upgrade.

Steven Spielberg's WWII epic has been hailed as a senses-shattering, realistic depiction of war, telling the emotional story of a no-nonsense U.S. Army captain (Tom Hanks), who, after facing the horrors of Omaha Beach on D-Day, receives orders to lead his troops on a search somewhere in Normandy for Private James Ryan, a lost paratrooper whose three brothers had been killed in combat. Also stars Edward Burns, Tom Sizemore, Barry Pepper, Vin Diesel, and Matt Damon as Ryan. 169 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English.

For the price its hard to beat this 4k 65”
on December 13, 2019
Posted by: NCrph16
Verified Purchase:Yes
Picked this 65” 4K for under $400 and has built in Roku....tough to beat that deal. I replaced a 6yr old 55” 1080p TV and the picture quality on this 65” 4K is very very good. Is it OLED good? No. But it was $399 and I had a $10 mystery certificate so I went for this one and I am very pleased. Hooked up to my wall mount in a matter of minutes and ran some 4K HDR content from Youtube and its amazing. The picture settings DO NEED ADJUSTING and you can look online for that help. Once I calibrated this TV it was even better. Yes. I recommend it for the price!

Had one of these years ago....maybe 10 years ago and that one was pretty good. This newer model is amazing and works even better than the older version that quit working. Got this on sale for under $100 and it was a steal! Easy to set up, works awesome, fairly quiet, cleans/rinses perfect, hand attachment works great for furniture and cars. Overall A+

Hello. Here are the answers:
Yes, you can watch Netflix, Youtube, AplleTV, Amazon Prime, etc. However, keep in mind you will need to install the extra RAM card to boost up performance of this very basic laptop eventually (if not immediate).
Yes, you can use this as a basic laptop to surf internet and pay bills.
Windows S mode (safe mode) comes installed out of the box. You can SWITCH OUT of S mode for free (watch a YouTube video on how to do it) very easy 3 steps.
ANY 8gb DDR4 2666mhz 260 pin RAM CARD will work in the open slot. Patriot, Crucial, Samsung, Team, etc. Brand does not matter. Just buy the right size/specs that I just listed and you are good to go. Do not be afraid to do this simple upgrade.....takes just minutes to do and if you watch a few Youtube videos you can do it yourself.
**I kept my factory installed 4gb RAM card and just added ONE 8gb RAM card = 12gb RAM which is waaaaaay more than you will ever need.

One of the answers to a question on this laptop’s page states that there’s only one slot for memory. However, the top review for this laptop states that someone was able to add a second RAM card because there are two memory slots. Which one is correct?

There are 2 RAM slots in this HP laptop. I already took mine apart and installed a 2nd RAM card in the open slot. Just buy any 8gb DDR4 2666mhz 260 pin card you want and open up the laptop and install in open slot. Whole job takes about 15 min

What is the RAM size expandable to? Looking to install at least 8 GB.

16gb of RAM is the max. This laptop has 2 RAM slots (verified) and only 1 slot has the 4gb card installed from HP. Just buy a 8gb RAM card DDR4 2666 and install in open spot
