80% HP 15-ay196n Laptop Review
Source: Tech For Pennies
I don’t think HP 15-ay196n is better or worse than its competitors in that price range. It has its strong points such as very powerful processor and decent amount of RAM. But there are disadvantages present as well, mainly the slowish hard drive and no Full HD support. Also gaming performance is far from optimal which is admittedly true to any laptop costing the same. The HP works as a good tool for people surfing the web and popping some emails, but a true workhorse it is not. If you just want a laptop for everyday use, you can’t go wrong with this HP.

Up to 2015, the company was named Hewlett Packard Company. After a split, the computer range was renamed to HP Inc.

In the laptop segment, HP was the world's largest manufacturer from 2014 to 2016 with a market share of 20-21% from 2014 to 2016, but they only exceed Lenovo by a small margin as of recently. HP is not present in the smartphone sector (as of 2016).

80%: This rating is not convincing. The laptop is evaluated below average, this is not really a recommendation for purchase.
