Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

HP Notebook 15-ay011nr 15.6-Inch Laptop (6th Gen Intel Core i5-6200U Processor, 8GB DDR3L SDRAM, 1TB HDD, Windows 10), Silver I had to use this for few days before I decided to write a review. I am not a computer geek but familiar with some of the things that make a computer/laptop great, or better than others. Here are my observations about this laptop; - The linear/hairline design on the cover itself is a stand out. I love it as I dont have to worry leaving some finger marks there. The chiclet keyboard is functional and easy to navigate EXCEPT the Up and Down Arrows. The keys are too small (Check the photo along with this review). Its a struggle to use it at times. Its also a good thing to have a DVD ROM in this laptop since most of the new models have taken this out of their design. USB ports are all accessible. Its easy to lift the cover and open it up without having to use both hands. Overall, it has a smooth and metal feel like design, although its not heavy at all. Its actually thin despite of it having the dvd-rom. - 15.6 screen is perfect, although I am not super amazed with the picture quality as I was expecting a more lively color. Perhaps I have to play more with the screen setting. The sound quality is better than my Asus laptop so its a plus point for me as I like playing music while doing some computer work. Wifi and Bluetooth tested and work great. - Battery is awesome! It charges fast and stays up to 8-9 hours. - This laptop is using an i-5 core processor with 8gb RAM with 1TB HDD! Its already a super power for someone like me who uses computer mainly for some photo editing works, browsing and other usual internet activities. Its super fast and responsive. I tried opening several windows and it still function really great. This a very good laptop under $500, I've tried looking at several models and tried to compare their specs and prices. Well this is the winner for me. I only gave it 4 stars because of the Up and Down arrow, other than that it exceeds most of my expectations in a budget laptop and I'm a happy camper. Let me know if this is helpful. If you have questions that I might be able to answer, feel free to ask.
