I bought this computer there are more than a year, and it still works perfectly. Only default, Windows 8, which uses a lot of RAM memory. So I added the meantime a strip 4GB of RAM to 50 euros, which greatly increased responsiveness. The battery charging stand as the first day currently. Sufficient for office, some games not too greedy, and photo processing. For video editing and very recent games, it will look elsewhere. I also want to point out that the previous comment in the fall on a defective model, but that it is probably not a problem in series, if HP has already closed. In any case the guarantee is for that.
