A solid laptop. 256GB SSD, i5 5200U (2C 4T @ 2.2GHz), 8GB RAM. Nice for college use. I have had a few random problems, but nothing that hasn’t been fixed. Just be sure to keep your BIOS up to date and you should be fine with whatever OS you’re running. Since the CPU is a “U” skew of Intel’s mobile processors, it is made for power efficiency rather than raw performance. I look for this in a laptop since I value battery life over raw power in a laptop. I have a desktop for raw power intensive tasks. Remember the use case, you don’t need a sledgehammer for a fly. MS Office doesn’t need a crazy CPU. Performance: 8/10 Price: 5/10

This is a good laptop, ruined by bad wifi.
The wifi in this laptop is capable of the speeds it describes. However, the wifi in this laptop is very susceptible to blockage. I can get 300Mpbs from my comcast router, but only by line of sight and within 15 feet of the router. After that, the speed falls off fast. Up one flight of stairs and two walls between the laptop and the router, and its wifi actually becomes useless.
Additionally, if you close the lid (say you have a large monitor you want to use instead), the wifi speed is reduced further. I cannot explain why except that maybe the laptop screen is causing additional blockage for the chip?
For comparison, my home PC is also running wireless and has a similarly capable wifi adapter (ac VHT capable…) and it never has connection or bandwidth issues. From the very same location (two foot apart on my work desk) my PC gets 90Mbps down from comcast, and this laptop gets 4Mpbs. Pitiful. I have tried most possible combinations of adapter settings and find that nothing made it faster and some changes made it slower.
I am stuck with it since it is a work laptop, being a replacement for an earlier HP model which did not have these problems.
Again this laptop has a lot going for it. Low weight, very quite, power efficient, has a displayport out so you can use higher res monitors (my 3440×1440 monitor works great), powerful enough if you are not gaming with it (my home computer so far outclasses this for gaming that why would I even bother trying), 4 USB ports, no CD (but who needs one on a work laptop), nice keyboard with keyboard lighting. In short it works great except for its crappy wifi.
If I find a solution I will update but for now, I can’t recommend it to anyone who’s primary use is wifi computing.
