Is the Core i5-1335U fast enough for everyday use?

Yes. Its two performance and eight efficiency cores handle browsing, Office documents, video calls and light photo editing without strain. Sustained heavy workloads like video rendering are where it slows down.

Can I upgrade the RAM and storage?

HP's 15 series typically has two SO-DIMM slots and a replaceable M.2 SSD, so both can be upgraded. Check the service manual for this exact model before opening it.

How does it compare with the previous 15-fd generation?

The main change is the move to 13th-gen Intel chips, which bring more efficiency cores and better battery behavior than the 12th-gen models. The chassis, screen class and port layout carry over largely unchanged.

Does it have a backlit keyboard or fingerprint reader?

This configuration lists neither. Expect a standard keyboard and no fingerprint sensor; sign-in is by password or PIN.

The laptop, its power adapter and the usual paperwork. No mouse, sleeve or other accessories are included.

Is it good for gaming?

Only for light or older titles at low settings. Iris Xe integrated graphics cannot run demanding modern games well; a laptop with a dedicated GPU is the better choice.
