HP 15-BS015DX Specifications

  • Processor: Intel Core i5
  • Memory: 8 GB of RAM
  • Storage: 1 TB SATA
  • Screen: 15.6 Inch Touchscreen
  • OS: Windows 10

Benefits

  • Decently powered so it can handle multitasking and power user type used efficiently due to the Intel Core i5 processor and 8 GB of memory
  • For those that like to save a lot, the large 1 TB SATA drive is capable of handling it all and most likely with room left over
  • The touchscreen gives you an extra feature that can be very useful when navigating around Windows 10
  • It weighs just 4.5 pounds which is quite good for a full-sized laptop model
  • Not one but two USB 3.1 ports are available with ultra-fast speeds, along with an older USB 2.0 port
  • The HDMI port allows you to easily project your display out to a larger viewing area such as an HDTV

Downsides

  • Would have benefited from a faster performing SSD drive instead of the older, slower SATA
  • Unlike many new laptops, the optical drive has been left intact, which adds extra bulk and thickness to the design

Verdict

One of the ways that the HP 15-BS015DX has quickly become so popular is that it has a tiny amount of downsides. Instead of focusing on one or two areas to outperform the competition, it has tried to be average or above average at everything. 

It seems like it has succeeded in this goal, and the result is a very well rounded laptop that will work for all types of users.
