This laptop's RAM, SSD and previous generation CPU specifications may not suit everyone. However, on the flip side for the price you get a good 1080p 72% NTSC 400 nits Gorilla Glass Touch Screen, a decent 53wh battery and a 1 year warranty directly from HP. This would most likely suit students and those that mainly use the laptop for productivity applications, such as MS Office, and watching videos.
