HP is my standard

I always buy an HP laptop. My only complaint is that the battery doesn't last long enough. When I finish using it, I close the top but don't shut it down. Normally there would still be some battery time left when I open it again, but I always have to plug it in to use it.

HP Laptop a Model of Efficiency
on August 14, 2025

Verified Purchase:Yes
I predominantly use my HP Pavilion desktop; I purchased the HP laptop to take with me on a six-month excursion to Mexico. Having set it up with the help of an HP agent, I am becoming acquainted with it, and finding it to be an efficient device that I look forward to using on my extensive trip. Two HP agents were indispensable in helping with transfer of the desktop files via the PC Mover, which completed the task without a hitch.
