Im an hp user. I used my old hp probook 4445 for 10 years and still working. I used it 8-10 hours a day for about 300 days a year for work. I just recently bought this hp15 s.

The best would be reviewing the product in your hand, and not so much what you think HP should have done, in relation to your personal taste. So many people can still afford laptops today only because of companies like HP and Lenovo. Apple and the alike to me they seem something different in the computer market.
yeah right! He kept going on and on about unpleasant unboxing experience, and hinge issues, and power button "blending into the keyboard". Worst of all was the advice to pay the extra price for Windows 11. Microsoft gives it away for free already!! So just get the cheaper one and spend an hour or two updating the OS
Okay, Hey, wait, no...do NOT pay extra money to get windows 11, you can literally upgrade for free through windows 10!!!! You just go into settings and tell the OS to update. Please stop spreading misinformation.

Just got this laptop from my college with my financial aid. It's pretty good and gotten feedback from other college students that goes to the same college. I'm just using it for casual use, doing papers, college work, etc.
What would someone want to know about this laptop? 1. Is the ram upgradeable? 2. Is the SSD upgradeable? 3. Can it charge through usb-c? Does the usb-c have display out? What version is the HDMI--can it output 4k 60fps? 4. How long is the real world battery life? You did not answer any of those questions.
I have to point out a box is just that a box to ship a product from point a to point b. As long as my product arrives undamaged and still works when its done shipping that's all I care about.
I like the Egg Carton packing. True - it is not glamerous but effective minimalistic. If I was a field test employee, going through units to repair a manufacturing error would be extream if i had to unpack so many layers of materials before accessing the note book to inspect and remove essential hard ware to insert my diagnostic bridge onto the mother board to interface with the software to correct any factory errors or replace defective chips. HP is pretty much straight forward unboxing. But asside from that, i really appreciate your over all review and interogation of this HP product in making my decision and paying the extra money for those windows. And yes it is great when it has a touch screen as apposed to a a touch pad on the key board for accessing drop down boxes and touch drag scrolling. I was about to buy a new reconditioned one but the features you would expect from your own personal experience has inspired me to retool my search for more options. Thank you for putting together this inspiring review.
I bought a variant of this laptop (DU-3502TX) with NVIDIA MX350. I agree with you. A lot of corners in my laptop have been cut as well. I get a TN panel instead of an IPS, and the battery life is dismal. I went to the service center and will have my screen upgraded for $200. Definitely made the wrong choice.
If you want a better laptop, spend the extra dollar, the end, but then again, you'll be complaining about the price, so make up your mind! Buy an external RGB keyboard, then you'll still be complaining, so there's no pleasing people no matter what!
@@fatilepeter1387 I own the 15s (No, not windows S mode) with the Ryzen 5 5625u, been using it for a year already, performance is great! No hinge issues at all, although battery has definitely degraded a bit, I get only 3 hours of battery life but since I'm at home most of the time it's not much of a problem :D Just don't make the mistake of choosing the celeron/pentium version of the laptop and get at least the ryzen 3 version
@@epic4418 It can run basic games, but doesn’t do well with very graphic-intense ones. An actual gaming laptop is better for that. This one is only for everyday use.
I just smelled my unboxed Inspiron 7620, and tried to smell my unopened Envy x360 15 (2022), but I’m gettin nuthin. One gotta go back to Best Buy. Which one?
Don't. The hinge won't even last two years. That hinge problem is a valid point. You must loosen it so the lid can be opened with one hand to ensure it will actually last.
I use my 12 inch. Windows 11. Bought from amazon for 550. It works great for school. Lightweight, and stores very well. Storage is key. I have the 256gb version. after 3 years at uni only 40 gb have been taken. Love how google is in it cause I use everything for google
Did you buy it from Amazon renewed? If so do you mind giving me some more info?, because I need to get one desperately. (Also I play the sims4 very frequently, so I'm open to suggestions, if you'd recommend something else).
I am learning information technology bro.what is the name of the computer you are using.I have lenovo with 57GB space.I need cheap computer that is cheap and very fast with high space.what do you recommend.
Bro 2 different times you talked about the unboxing experience. And prior to that u discussed the "smell". Never have I heard of such criteria; as someone who is looking for a pc, this seems like u were bais against it
I got the same laptop and I must say it is exciting. I really love the touchscreen included. Mine has the backlit keyboard. If it varies by the laptop it's insane.
@@AmnaKhan-kc1rifrom my personal experience, full charge it's around 4 to 5 hours of battery life, if you use it for studying and don't download anything crazy you should get close to 5 hours
Other things you can buy for 500 $ .. 1. an Apple monitor stand so your Apple display can go up and down and not be fixed 2. An upgrade for your MacBooks ssd drive from 256 to 1 TB.. 3. An anti glare filter for your Apple display so your face doesn’t show on top of your RUclips video editing imagery… you get my drift
This is a great, fast laptop and it is good for mild video editing and coding. But it isn't that durable. If you are thinking of using it for school, then be very careful as with one drop it can break. The weak spots are the bottom screen borders - hinge etc.
Okay cause where I'm from this is around 850 something which I believe is overpriced I was going to get it since it's slightly cheaper than the lenovo one but I think I'll go with lenovo one
Oh senior man 😠, you just donot like the brand tell the truth. You keep talking about trivial features. You focus more on the bad sides and do not even stress on the good parts
This laptop didn't stand a chance from the very get go. Personally I could give two shits about the packaging. I would rather have the money I spend go more towards the product rather than packing just so I could feel that wow for about 2 minutes before it gets chucked in the trash never to be remembered again.
it is a productivity laptop that is why a lot of people are buying it. other laptops with similar price have lower specs or short battery life even though it looks better than hp...also hp has a not so thick bezzles
If they're complaining so much about a basic laptop, then they should've gotten a better laptop in the beginning! When I got my Asus gaming laptop, I knew what I was getting, and I was pricing the difference between a laptop with all of the ram and storage, or would it be cheaper to buy the extra options, and install it myself, and it was cheaper to buy the extra upgrades separately, and install it myself. See, problem solved!
Yes, you do seem to be harping on the keyboard back lighting while at the same time, you have shown that you can type. As a MacBook owner, and I do love my MacBook, other than for looks, I often turn my keyboard back lighting off especially for watching videos in dark areas. Sometimes, I’ll forget to turn it back on for days because again, I consider it only there for looks. After the first week or so with the machine, why would anybody need keyboard back lighting for anything other than a really cool looking frill?
Well that was a good review, and that is almost the same laptop I got last year for that price range. I did get the AMD RYZEN 7. And after a short while it was automatically upgrades to windows 11. And I'm ok with no backlight. Nice unboxing. 😇
@@Alaa-bi2ex Not sure what type of programming you are talking about. I like the speed and functionality of everything, but I'm not a programmer so for me it's just fine. A real programmer would have to weigh in on that.
@@strangeclouds7 WOW I do have 16GB ram but my Ryzen is only 5700 and my SSD is only 256 GB half your size. Did you get this recently? Maybe I should have waited 🤔 but thanks for the tip, I wish I got the deal you did. 😇
I built a high spec of this laptop in HP and it went up to CAD900 while MacBook Air with the same is CAD2100. I know the Apple is better is performance and battery but can it justify the price difference of CAD1200??? Hell no! I would buy HP with all it's shortcomings. It is the latest gen CPU, NVME storage. And the price, is in the Chromebook range! BTW, I am a web developer.
He had complaints while opening the box and it wasn’t the box you bought, it was the laptop. You were against it before seeing the laptop. Can’t trust this review; it’s very biased.
this one is available right now on Staples for $350 with 11th Gen Intel Core i3-1125G4 4-Core, 15.6" 1080p, 8GB DDR4, 256GB SSD, Type-C, Fingerprint Reader, 3-Cell, Win 11 (Natural Silver). Not a bad deal.
You have easily become one of my top fav RUclips tech reviewers :) so easy to watch and relatable. I had a AUD$800 HP Compaq that my parents got me for 3 yrs during high school (2013-15), it looked very similar to this, just black all over. And it lasted surprisingly well. But I always despised how cheap it felt haha, and it seemed to always be plugged in. 7 yrs later I'm running the new 16" MacBook Pro and I don't think any laptop can match it in quality! And I can't be happier with it. Though AUD$5,500 was ALOT of money haha
You care about the opposite things that I do. For example I hate expensive packaging. I would rather they focus on the product not the packaging that goes straight in the trash.
Not exactly a video new owners of this laptop would see. Biased from the unboxing already. Remember there are kids who watches RUclips as well who maybe got this as a gift or something.
Nice video, please do more of this. Please do the hp envy 13" built of metal, i'd like to see a video from that one, your reviews are really good and understandable for everyone... I like the HP laptops, i mean they look good most of the times, but im not a fan of the quality they're making these laptops of... they say it's oceanic plastic and blahblah save the earth speech, but these laptops (i own one) are really poor in quality of plastics. Mine doesn't close all the way (the lid) and the materials are really weak... and i purchased this machine for $1000, the components are good bc i have an i7 and a geforce graphic cards, but the materials..... really HP?
Does it have Head phone jack? Because I think a lot of people out there , has a set of computer speakers that will sound much better than the speakers in a Lap top. By the way, thank you for the review. Much appreciated.
Went to Target today and picked this up for my online schooling, Lady Gave me a HUGE discount and I only paid $246 My keyboard is backlight, not sure if that means its anything different from this one overall though
Several people on Amazon have commented on Wifi connectivity issues with this model. They are saying it either won't stay connected after a system update, or it forgets it has Wifi capability altogether. So many people have reported this, it gives me pause because Wifi is a big deal if you need to attend meetings or connect to other networks outside of your home.
Unless it smells burned, why does it matter how it smells, and you can't complain if HP wants to make sure their products aren't damaged when you first get it. For crying out loud, it's a basic laptop, so stop acting like it's a gaming computer. I'm not trying to ding on you, but I've noticed reviewers love to try to severely dog out basic computers like it's an Apple product, and it makes me sick!
But,but!! That... Fresh, new out of the box laptop smell!! Nice silver! What CPU / RAM did it come with? An i5 11th Gen? And 8 GB RAM? Can the Win 10 model be upgraded to Win 11? Thank you for a good review!
Can you clarify why HP isn't good in a corporate environment other than the fanboy effect it has on your peers for brands apple? That's a political thing not a performance thing. I'm a Software Engineer and in my experience, it's the hardware and OS that makes the computer, not the manufacturer. It's hard to get an i7 U series processor with 16 gigs of ram on your preferred OS and not be satisfied with the performance of the machine. I will agree the backlit keyboard thing is a big deal.
Poor guy. Such a hard time opening up the laptop box. Good thing he had hand lotion close by for such emergencies! Obviously never did a day's work in his life.
Hahaha, he talks so much about unnecessary details that are his personal taste and don't matter for long-term users with a low budget (and 500 bucks is very low for the processor and SSD storage)
As pointed out and second viewing, this DOES have a SD card slot. Sorry for the mistake.
Can I use a fingerprint on this laptop if yes how can I set it up?
@@dupeoluekom3068 yes, it has finger print setup
What's the price bro.I am learning Information technology.I need a cheap laptop with high space and faster.what do you recommend for me.
for sure? why do some parts of the video show the sd slot and other parts it doesn't?

@@strangeclouds7 Is this good for gaming i wanted to get the HP Pavilion Laptop Computer 15.6" FHD AMD Ryzen 7 16 GB memory; 512 GB SSD
the smell test was awesome
You have easily become one of my top fav RUclips tech reviewers :) so easy to watch and relatable.
I had a AUD$800 HP Compaq that my parents got me for 3 yrs during high school (2013-15), it looked very similar to this, just black all over. And it lasted surprisingly well. But I always despised how cheap it felt haha, and it seemed to always be plugged in.
7 yrs later I'm running the new 16" MacBook Pro and I don't think any laptop can match it in quality! And I can't be happier with it. Though AUD$5,500 was ALOT of money haha
:) ♥️
The smell test was EVERYTHING 😂😂😂
EVERYTHINGGGG
My sister is selling one for 200.00 dollars. So I looked. For. Reviews. On this laptop found your channel. Very good job
Glad I could help!
I bough two brand new HPs from different shops and both was "dead", with totally discharged batteries. I think that it's normally for HPs
You care about the opposite things that I do. For example I hate expensive packaging. I would rather they focus on the product not the packaging that goes straight in the trash.
When you started to unbox it I thought you went hunting an hippos with that long knife...hahaha
The chef’s knife is the dedicated unboxing knife
You forgot to mention there are 2 other ports. I can see clearly in the video.
YO I thought I was the only person on earth that used their pointer finger to hit the space bar LETS GOOOOOOOOO
LETS GOOOOOOO
Not exactly a video new owners of this laptop would see. Biased from the unboxing already. Remember there are kids who watches RUclips as well who maybe got this as a gift or something.
Dude, I ordered that laptop yesterday and now watching your video and feeling bad that I bought it. Dang
I honestly cancelled my order after watching this
@@dr3w_m33gz me too hahaha. The keyboard was so shitty it reminded me toy laptop of mine when I was child :D
Lmfao this guy smelled the laptop like it's wine, have a lick bro TASTE TEST we need it!
Nice video, please do more of this. Please do the hp envy 13" built of metal, i'd like to see a video from that one, your reviews are really good and understandable for everyone...
I like the HP laptops, i mean they look good most of the times, but im not a fan of the quality they're making these laptops of... they say it's oceanic plastic and blahblah save the earth speech, but these laptops (i own one) are really poor in quality of plastics. Mine doesn't close all the way (the lid) and the materials are really weak... and i purchased this machine for $1000, the components are good bc i have an i7 and a geforce graphic cards, but the materials..... really HP?
Your whining over oceanic plastic? Ffs some of you really are a disease to this planet . hypocritical libtards are the worst
This is definitely an upgrade over my mom's previous Samsung laptop that she has been using since 2012
Well you paid $550 I paid $330 in December 2022 at target so I love it thanks!
What a heck of a deal
@Dayo Aworunse Yes sir 👍
Does it have Head phone jack? Because I think a lot of people out there , has a set of computer speakers that will sound much better than the speakers in a Lap top. By the way, thank you for the review. Much appreciated.
It does have a headphone jack
@@DayoAworunse thank you for the info. I have really good computer speakers with a woofer. That will work good.
I don’t know what experience you’re expecting from taking a product out of its box. If they charge you for that they’d be called apple and not HP
Went to Target today and picked this up for my online schooling, Lady Gave me a HUGE discount and I only paid $246
My keyboard is backlight, not sure if that means its anything different from this one overall though
Damn, nice.
You have have a poison jab for online schooling?
So lucky😎👍
Haha you're the first guy to smell the laptop 😂
And I won’t be the last 👃
Several people on Amazon have commented on Wifi connectivity issues with this model. They are saying it either won't stay connected after a system update, or it forgets it has Wifi capability altogether. So many people have reported this, it gives me pause because Wifi is a big deal if you need to attend meetings or connect to other networks outside of your home.
I saw that.
Thanks for that info. I would only be using it for Wi-Fi. That's a actual deal breaker.
That new i smell test on laptops 😂
I am going to buy HP 15-dy2193dx. This laptop is very good for its price.
Unless it smells burned, why does it matter how it smells, and you can't complain if HP wants to make sure their products aren't damaged when you first get it. For crying out loud, it's a basic laptop, so stop acting like it's a gaming computer. I'm not trying to ding on you, but I've noticed reviewers love to try to severely dog out basic computers like it's an Apple product, and it makes me sick!
Should watch my acer aspire video or acer videos in general. Cost about the same and offers much more. HP just isn’t that great at this price point.
Thanks for the review Dewonde, do you know what kind of processor this has in it?
But,but!! That... Fresh, new out of the box laptop smell!! Nice silver! What CPU / RAM did it come with? An i5 11th Gen? And 8 GB RAM? Can the Win 10 model be upgraded to Win 11? Thank you for a good review!
Good review - Great speaking voice!
Can you clarify why HP isn't good in a corporate environment other than the fanboy effect it has on your peers for brands apple? That's a political thing not a performance thing. I'm a Software Engineer and in my experience, it's the hardware and OS that makes the computer, not the manufacturer. It's hard to get an i7 U series processor with 16 gigs of ram on your preferred OS and not be satisfied with the performance of the machine. I will agree the backlit keyboard thing is a big deal.
Poor guy. Such a hard time opening up the laptop box. Good thing he had hand lotion close by for such emergencies!
Obviously never did a day's work in his life.
BETA!
The smell test was hilarious !
Good day which is your best budget laptop for everyday use
Would you like for them to take money away from the product so you have a better time taking it out of the box one time?
So look at this laptop for my daughter. She will be in year 7 and hoping she can use it for a few years until her senior high school years. Thoughts?
Lmao I was literally thinking , man I love my work laptop, it's an absolute beast of a device. I want to buy one for personal use.
Tell us more about the unboxing experience
Hahaha, he talks so much about unnecessary details that are his personal taste and don't matter for long-term users with a low budget (and 500 bucks is very low for the processor and SSD storage)
Im gonna buy this soon. However, for me im getting 1tb storage, 16gb ram, and touchscreen. The price $409
who used my french knife to open boxes! LOL! :)
When u smelled that laptop, i knew i can Trust you now.
Watching from Nigeria
Nice video fam, I just subscribed
Watching this video on same model laptop.
I was at the checkout button on Amazon and watched your video and change my mind lol
Woww Very Well suggestion sir ❤️
hey! could you make a disassembly video of this device?
Very superficial review, not very helpful tbh
His unboxing experience upset him 😢
