I bought this laptop as a replacement when my old one was on its last legs. I did quite a bit of research and eventually settled on the HP pavilion. The colour of it definitely also influenced my decision! It's a good size and the battery life is great which means it's easy to transport without having to worry about carrying around a bulky power cable every time.

So far I've been really pleased with how it works. I use it mostly for the internet, and it's absolutely perfect for that. It's really quick compared with my old laptop which really impressed me.

The only problem I've had is that recently it has started getting really hot on the bottom and becomes really noisy as it tries to cool down. It generally does this when I'm watching a show on catch up on full screen, but it doesn't affect the playback of the video or the performance of the laptop so the only real problem is that you can't have it on your lap.
