Do not buy this laptop

[chickenout]

Do not buy HP product number 1A406UA#ABA laptop.  Very , very,  very slow .  It can not keep up with fast typing at all.  Click to open e-mail app on task bar and takes a minute or two to open.  Literally really does. Start up 3-4 minutes at least.  Nothing more than an expensive paper weight.  Web browser takes a minute or two to open.  Stay away from.

It is an HP Notebook - 15-dw0081wm machine. Its specs

         https://support.hp.com/au-en/document/c06620365

As you can see, it has

• a bottom end CPU, which is  an Intel® Pentium® Silver N5000 (1.1 GHz base frequency, up to 2.7 GHz burst frequency, 4 MB cache, 4 cores)
• a very low HDD:  500 GB 5400 rpm SATA
• and a small amount of RAM: 4 GB DDR4-2400 SDRAM (1 x 4 GB)

It's slow by nature. Well what do you think ? You can pay more money to upgrade it or buy a new, better machine. Which way do you prefer ?

Regards.
