5.0 out of 5 stars Met my needs and expectations at a good price, September 24, 2016

This review is from: HP 15-ay018nr 15.6-Inch Laptop (Intel Core i7, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD) (Personal Computers)
Looked for a Windows 10 15.6" laptop with an SSD, -ac Wifi, a fast CPU, and most importantly a FHD IPS screen. I set the budget $500-$750 and looked good and hard. Found this HP at a good price and it hasn't disappointed. All hardware is as described and benchmarks have been run confirming expected performance:

Nice mobile CPU with the dual core i7-6500U: Passmark is 4652.
SSD is, of course, very responisve, and at 256GB is a good size if files can be stored off board.
Screen looks good as expected, a glossy surface (pros and cons here), max brightness seems limited but OK for indoors.
Integrated Intel HD 520 graphics is mediocre in 3D speed - Not for gaming but this approach reduces internal heat and power consumption and likely allows the inclusion of an optical drive.
Has optical drive - mixed feelings about this but if this is a multi-media machine and it fits into the 15" frame, why not be complete?
Screen lid is flimsy but likely a... Read more

The HP Laptop came today... First the bad... Funky plastic case... / Now the good... Everything else... Fast, glad I got the I7... Enough memory, 8 gigs... 256 SSD, nice size and fast... Speakers are good enough and with headphones very nice... Keyboard, good I like the feel and size, touch pad works great and I bought a wireless mouse for desk and table use. / Now the best... The screen, IPS 1920/1080... Really clear and crisp with vibrant colors... Photos, graphics and movies are great... The main reason I bought this model, the IPS screen... It's even better than expected... After an hour or so of updates... It rocks... I'm very happy with this purchase.

3.0 out of 5 stars Speedy, but has a serious Grasp (not a good thing), October 20, 2016
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: HP 15-ay018nr 15.6-Inch Laptop (Intel Core i7, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD) (Personal Computers)
Pros:
-Fast
-Decent Screen
-Light
-Cheap
-Ok battery life

Cons:
-Feels very flimsy
-You have to tap pretty hard on the track pad to make it register
-The bluetooth is horrendous (could have been the MX Master mouse though, who knows)
-The case is scratched by just about anything. Breathe too hard on it and it's gonna probably have a new scratch.
-If you plug anything into it, make sure you are ok with letting it become permanently attached.

Overall I'd say if you are looking for a cheap speedster, this'll do the job. But it's nothing great. And has a few quirks that are annoying beyond belief. The USB slots will literally latch on so tightly that i have to use needle nose pliers to yank out the husk of whatever USB device I had put in it. Same goes for the ethernet port.

And no, it wasn't the USB devices or the ethernet ends. I've used them on dozens of other computers with no issue. (IT guy)... Read more
