The HP 15-f387wm is a bestselling budget friendly refurbished laptop that has been praised for its Quad Core AMD processor, touchscreen display, decent amount of storage space and for its integrated Radeon R5 graphics. However, the entry-level R5 graphics will not run games such as GTA V or The Witcher. The HP 15-f387wm is best suited for classic games or for browser based games.
The gaming industry has grown into a multi-billion industry, however, not everyone is interested in playing the latest AAA gaming titles. Some just want to play classic titles or even browser based games. You will be able to play games such as Counter Strike: Go, Diablo III and FIFA 2014, however, this is pretty much pushing the limits of the Radeon R5 graphics card.
Thanks to the HP 15-f387wm’s touchscreen display, you can play some of your favorite browser based games without needing to use the laptop’s trackpad. While the Quad Core AMD processor won’t win any awards, it does outperform most of the Intel Celeron and Pentium processors that it competes with. The AMD A8-7410 processor and 4GB of memory will cope with most daily tasks and classic games, however, it will leave this laptop feeling sluggish when using more intensive applications.
While you can run the extremely popular Google Chrome browser on the HP 15-f387wm, we do recommend upgrading the memory to at least 8GB as Chrome is extremely resource hungry. You get 500GB of storage space, however, the HP 15-f387wm uses a slower 5400rpm storage drive which will mean slower boot times and will mean that applications will take longer to launch
. You also will not get a Full-HD display as these are generally reserved for more expensive laptops. Instead you get a standard entry-level display which will still allow you to enjoy your favorite movies and series in 720p. The HP 15-f387wm is a Certified Refurbished product and comes with a 90 day warranty.

Critic Reviews

Early on in this reviews round-up HP sent over its Pavilion x360 11T Touch Select—a beautiful machine, and already one of our top recommendations in the sub-$500 range. And then at the eleventh hour it sent over the HP 15t Touch, which not only looks better but performs better too.

The HP 15t Touch sports an attractive design, snappy keyboard and solid battery life but comes with too much bloatware.

The HP 15 is a simple office laptop for home use. The laptop does not shine in any area, except the CPU, but it does offer a decent package. Sadly, the manufacturer has left a lot of room for complaint.
