Review on HP 15.6-Inch HD Touchscreen Laptop (Intel Pentium Silver N5000, 4GB DDR4-2400, 1TB HDD, HDMI, HD Webcam, Windows 10) by Harwinder Duong

I was pleasantly surprised at how well this laptop performed after replacing the hard drive with a Solid State Drive (SSD). Solid state drives are typically four times faster than mechanical hard drives. If you only use the mechanical hard drive that originally came in the laptop, it will be slow. Thanks to the solid state drive, this laptop can open 10 Google Chrome tabs, open multiple Word documents, open Excel applications, run YouTube videos at the same time, and it won't slow down or slow down. Even with only 4GB. RAM laptop performs tasks smoothly. The reason is that the RAM is DDR4 2400MHz. Speed that allows data to transfer 50% faster than previous generation DDR3 RAM. You can increase the RAM size to a MAXIMUM of 8 GB. DDR4 2400MHz. There is only 1 RAM slot so you need to take out 1 x 4GB. stick and paste in 1 x 8gb. Floor. What you need to do to make this laptop fast: 1. Perform a fresh/clean install of Windows 10 (to get rid of malware) on SSD, not the original HDD.2. Switch the power plan Power Options in Control Panel to High Performance. This boosts CPU speed and RAM speed to advertised levels. Update Windows before installing software
