Gets hot very quickly.

This laptop was easy to set up right out of the box and does everything I want it to. The only problem I have with it is the fact it makes a horrible noise as it gets hot very quickly. I have had to purchase a cooling pad to use with it. Delivery too much longer than advertised, mainly due to the fact it was shipped from China. I thought that this laptop would be manufactured in the United States, not in China.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great for daily use

Good laptop for daily use of win11, wifi6, and web browsing. No issues with heat or battery use, I only wish the monitor resolution was better at (1920x1080) for viewing and the memory could be updated from the onboard 8gb.

Okay, needs work

It's okay for the price but it has a few bugs/drawbacks. It needs more USB ports, it often rejects anything attached by USB like a wireless mouse or keyboard and a CD/DVD drive would be nice. I know they're not in huge demand but when you need one it should be there. The screen is too bright and you really can't adjust it very well.

This laptop is well worth the price and HP is a wonderful brand. I have a printer from 2012 that's still running smoothly. I'm not computer literate and this laptop has a lot of bells and whistles I have yet to discover. I wish I could get the hang on how to reduce the screen when it expands and I'm not sure what I did to make it do that.
