You’ll receive the laptop, a 45 Watt power brick with 6 ft of cable and barrel style connector, a 3 ft grounded power cable, and a quick start guide that’ll show you how to charge and power on the laptop, as well as what all the features are, and several gestures for the touchpad. This laptop has a lightweight plastic shell with a beautiful blue-gray matte finish called Moonlight Blue and mirror-chrome HP label in the middle; this model is also available in rose gold. The laptop measures 14” wide, 9.25” long, and 0.75” thick with a weight of about 3.5 lbs. The bottom of the laptop is cream-colored with two rubber feet that span the width of the laptop at the front and back and a large grille in the middle for ventilation; it’s also made using ocean-bound plastic as part of HP’s commitment to sustainability and reducing environmental impact. The stereo speakers are also on the bottom to the left and right sides towards the front.
On the left side of the unit in the back corner are a USB-A port, HDMI out, USB-C port, and combo mic/headphone jack. On the right-hand side in the back corner are the power port with status LED and a second USB-A port. Note that the USB-C port cannot be used for charging the device. The laptop takes only a couple hours thanks to HP Fast Charge and on a full charge can last over 11 hours. The laptop screen opens to a maximum angle of about 120 degrees and features a 15.6 inch diagonal with narrow bezels, full 1080p HD resolution, and 250 nits max brightness. It is not a touchscreen display. Just above the center of the screen is an integrated 2.1 MP webcam with dual-array microphones and it has a built-in privacy cover. The screen is coated with an anti-glare matte finish, cutting down on reflections and increasing visibility in bright conditions, but I find that it does reduce contrast somewhat. The panel also only has a 6-bit color depth, so the colors can look a bit washed out in general and may not be accurate enough for digital artists and content creators. However, you can bypass the laptop’s screen and take advantage of the higher color gamut and resolution of a separate monitor.
The machine runs on Windows 11 Home 64-Bit. Inside, it has a Quad-core AMD Ryzen 5 7520U APU, which has a max speed of 4.3GHz and 2.8 GHz base clock, with integrated Radeon 610M dual-core graphics at 1900 MHz, 8 GB of on-board LPDDR5 SDRAM, and a 256GB NVME m.2 SSD. However, there are no upgradable components. There’s about 190 GB of free space on the hard drive out-of-the-box, and any additional drive space would have to be attached externally. All the USB 3.2 ports support SuperSpeed data transfer rates up to 5 Gbps.
The graphics card is able to deliver a 60 fps refresh rate at 1080p resolution, but isn’t powerful enough to handle heavy graphics in games that have immersive 3D environments. Performance in such games can be laggy with stutters and smeared visuals. For simply watching video content, the experience is much smoother. The webcam quality is also surprisingly good, with full HD 1080p resolution and admirable performance in low-light conditions. The pickup from the mics is very clean with little to no background noise captured. And the speakers, while small, sound clear and crisp and only start to sound boxy at higher volumes.
The mouse trackpad is generously sized at 5”x3” and responds to taps, swipes, clicks, and multi-finger gestures. The keyboard has a tactile feel and springy keys with large lettering, but is not backlit. It has a 10-key number pad though the arrow keys also have a non-standard arrangement, with half-height up/down keys. The top row of the keyboard features dual purpose function/quick launch keys for emojis, volume and brightness and media control. You’ll also find the power button just above the ‘Backspace’ key, and it, the Cap Locks and Mute keys all have integrated status LEDs. This device has WiFi6 and Bluetooth 5.3 for fast connections to home networks and wireless accessories, but no Ethernet port.
Overall, this mid-tier laptop is adequate for work, school, and casual use. It’s got nice aesthetics, is quick to boot up, and has a long battery life. Its size and weight are great for portability, giving you enough screen real estate to enjoy consuming media and content while handling video streaming and internet browsing very smoothly. It’s not a top of the line gaming system, so don’t expect it to perform well with AAA title games, but for casual gaming and those that don’t rely on heavy graphics rendering, they will run on it just fine. I also feel that the native panel isn’t the best for content creation or visual arts as the colors won’t be accurate or vibrant enough, though you can work around this by hooking up a separate monitor.

Ordered one for simple payroll and leisure use. More than enough for my needs.
I got one of these for school and wanted to upgrade the ssd and ram. I was able to replace the m.2 easily buy where is the ram located on the mb? Is it in an odd spot or is this not upgradable on this model?
Unfortunately, the RAM is not upgradable.
There is no ethernet cable. That's a deal breaker if you want to have superior speed for networking/video conferencing, downloading files, watching HD videos.
You could always get a USB ethernet dongle. Most modern laptops don't have a dedicated ethernet port.
@@ItsJohnCis this the same laptop in Walmart I saw this same one but the numbers is 15-fc0039wm can you explain why the numbers are a few different then this one in the video also is it a very good buy ?
@@troymoviemadness7130 Yes, the 15-fc0039wm model number is for the PINK version while the 15-fc0037wm model number is for the BLUE version. There the exact same laptop spec wise, just different color lids which is why the model number is slight different on both units.
Wifi 6 is able to transfer data faster than a lot of ethernet cables. I know there's an argument to be made about routers, but as long as you're close to the router you won't need an ethernet cable
Dongle it dude
Where are the setting keys ?
Can you run two additional monitors?
Can I upgrade de gb on the memory?
No, unfortunately there are no upgradable components inside.
Is this laptop enough to play fortnite?
Yes I play Garry's mod on that model so it can play fortnite
