I bought this product on Black Friday at Best Buy for $499.99. I am glad that I didn't pay the price listed. Overall the computer is great, but there are a few things that bother me. It's a Windows 8 computer, and sometimes when I drag my finger across the touch pad, it sends me back to the previous app that I had open off of the main screen. I can easily get back to what I was doing but it shouldn't happen to begin with. Physically, the black surrounding the screen pops when I move it (like when I am adjusting the screen forward and backwards, I don't just randomly squeeze my computer).
The computer is very fast and it's taken a little bit to get used to since I am going from a Windows 7 to a Windows 8. I haven't figured out how to put Microsoft on the desktop (or any icon on to the desktop) but I am sure I will figure that out sooner or later. The sound on this is great (especially compared to my old Acer computer) and I find myself only having it halfway and it's still a little loud for my taste! I didn't have any trouble setting up wireless or Microsoft Defender (the Windows 8 version of Microsoft Essentials) but Norton did get in the way from setting it up at first. There are a lot of available apps that you can put on the front screen, a lot of them being free!!
I found it strange that all of the function keys are opposite from what I am used to; for example: before I would press F5 and the page would refresh, but now I have to press FN F5 for it to refresh and the other function (the backlit keyboard on and off) is the first function. I hope that makes sense!
The keyboard is easy to type on, and the letters aren't having any problem with sticking. They are soft in a way and it's very comfortable.
I set up my computer so that when I unlock it, I have to swipe my finger on the scanner and I haven't had any problems with that either. It's kind of fun having such a personal computer!
I would suggest this product for someone else.

Cons:
I have owned many HP laptops in my day. It just ends up happening. I do not like that they put in a bunch of HP software that I never use and perpetually gets in my way. Also, the first unit I purchased had some weird glitch where every 65 second the DVD drive would pop open. However, now that I have a working one I like it so much I felt the need to review it. Also, this computer is trying really hard to be an Apple product. It's silver shell and black back lit keyboard echo that of a Macbook. However, it is light and feels like a cheaper version of the apple product. Finally, there is a movement to change the design of the arrow keys so that left and right buttons are full sized but up and down buttons are half sized. I use these buttons all the time and the half sized buttons are annoying.
So enough of the negatives. What are the things that make this a four star product?
1. It is a cheaper product. It costs over 50% less than an apple product. I love the price. And I think for what is paid the laptop offers a lot.
2. Backlit keyboard. It is a perk I have been waiting for. they seems to usually be reserved for ultrabooks. It is nice to see the price point drop on this feature.
3. I am not much of a computer "guts" kind of guy. I just want the computer to do what I want it to. I do not need to know all the inside stuff. I do know that the audio quality is good and I am able to run my PC games well on it without issue. I have heard reviews saying the screen is cheap but I have no complaints. It is higher quality than the laptop it replaced and for that i am grateful. I do not think the average user will feel cheated when it comes to the display quality.
Overall, I just like it. It works well and I feel comfortable using it.

These two laptops replace two MicroExpress desktop towers that I've had for nearly a decade. The chiclet keyboard takes a bit of getting used to, but the touchpad has just the right responsiveness. The backlit keyboard is a nice touch. The numeric keyboard at the side is an absolute necessity for multinational characters. Seems like many of the manufacturer are abandoning side and overlay keyboards.
The fingerprint reader is superb for quickly unlocking the laptop. I virtually always lock my account when stepping away; the fingerprint reader speeds up my return.
The material is significantly cheaper. In particular, the silver finish on the cover is an ultrathin veneer that rubs off from casual contact with a dresser drawer. Also, the keyboard frame was not fully locked in on one of the laptops when first opened; I had to click it into place. But these are cosmetic features for me. The operational features are strong enough to warrant five stars.
I also looked at Apple first. They want $1500-1600 for a comparable machine. I paid $700 for the HP at BestBuy. I am buying several laptops, and Apple has priced itself out of my budget.
