I bought this bike for £550 (660$ i think?) . I put the specifications in the images. Please share your opinion. Same colour and here's da link https://www.specialized.com/gb/en/rockhopper-comp-29/p/199584?color=319885-199584. Was this a good choice ? I'm 14yr old who's amatuer at mtb btw.

Looks like a bike to me.
Just curious, why did you ask if it was a good choice after you bought it? You bought it, it is yours. Ride it and have fun.
Have fun kid. Learn on it and save your money, by the time you’re decent and it starts breaking you’ll be ready for something else.
Doesn’t matter now since you bought it but here’s the checklist I give.
Air fork, hydraulic brake, 1x drivetrain, dropper, boost spacing.
First 3 aren’t negotiable, 4th is ok to not but must have routing for internal, boost is just really a nice cherry on top and IMO really makes a bike upgradable in the future. Your 14 and will probably grow out of this is in a couple years. You next bike should definitely have all 5.
My first mtb bike purchase was a specialized hard rock around 15 yrs old and it served me well for many years. Solid intro bike and when and if you decide to upgrade it’ll make a great extra bike for friends to ride or take places you wouldn’t want destroying your more expensive bike.
It’s ok. Earn a little bit for an air fork and it’s will be a good begginer mtb.
