Generally satisfied

I am generally happy with my HP laptop. It is easy to use and has fast downloads. I like the
Copilot feature. There are a few problems I have not been able to fix. When I am typing, the cursor often skips back to earlier portions of the text. When I am scrolling down a page on a website, the text sometimes shoots down the page when I tap the down arrow, instead of going down line by line. I would have preferred a startup with no password, and for some reason, I have two login icons, event though I only have one account. The one that comes up first is inoperable, so I have to switch to the one that works. Finally, the touch is too sensitive, so the computer sometimes goes places I have not intended to go. This can happen when the cursor is over a spot for a while, even though I haven't touched it at all.
I would recommend this to a friend!

After 4 days everything seems OK. Left click is sticky and, at times, difficult to actually click. This may be a real problem.

Meh, Should Be Better

The response time is very slow. I have a laptop from 5 years ago where I can get an instant response when I click on something. This new one lags terribly. The volume is also really low. I'm going to have to buy a set of speakers to hear whatever I listen to/watch.

Value-minded for home use.

Because I added two customizations (larger SSD & non-glare display), my laptop took time to be built. Worth the wait. As an economic, no-frills home computer, this 15-inch Windows 11 should do the job for me.

Not A good choice if you have any real work to do, Spend the time to have a unit built and get a larger screen if you can afford the heftier price point, you'll be much happier!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
