Great little computer after virus removal.

I've had this computer for about a month now. I use this laptop for my online classes. I had to remove some bloatware and change some settings to make it run faster, but this is a great little laptop. Don't expect to play intense games or edit movies on this laptop. It's convenient for work or school, surfing the web, and watching Netflix. Pros: Very small and light. I can easily lift it with one hand. - Aesthetically pleasing design. I love the purple color and the finish. The small design makes it very portable. Easily fits in a backpack or briefcase. - Relatively fast computer, does not take time to start up/shutdown. - Good keyboard. Cons: - The speakers are pretty quiet and of poor quality. I recommend using headphones for watching movies/listening to music. The webcam is also below average and quite grainy. The touchpad can be finicky, but using a wireless mouse with it is very easy. A 32GB hard drive can support one operating system and no more. That being said, a $20 64GB microSD will solve this problem. This computer was pretty slow when I first got it. Here's what I did to get it done quickly: 1. Remove ALL malware. Remove Apple Bonjour, LEAP, McAfee Antivirus, HP Support & Registration, browser extensions, etc.2. Installed all updates for Windows Update (took almost an hour). Then I turned off automatic updates. Running Windows Update in the background overloads the processor.3. Installed CCleaner and cleaned cache/registry4. Google Chrome installed and used in place of the Edge/IE accessory I bought: Logitech Wireless Mouse: Works great with this computer. A small wireless key fob stays discreetly in the USB port. Evecase is great for taking this computer and accessories with you on the go. 64GB microSD card for storage expansion. I changed the settings to save almost everything there. Doesn't slow down the computer and doesn't save. Overall, this computer is ideal for school and work, email and surfing the web. However, he does a great job with these things. I think it's great value for money!

Pros
  • This is great
Cons
