The laptop is nicely designed and fast and efficient. I use it for music production so I don't mind the large bulky presence of it but if you're looking for something more size friendly, this isn't the device for you.
This is my 5th HP computer. '91 was a 386 SX-16 and then a few laptops over the years - the older laptop from '14 still works; that's impressive! The original battery is still alive...
What I don't like is the overly sensitive "rocker" as opposed to the older L/R buttons on the touch pad. Also there's something I've NEVER seen before...the up/down page ▲▼ buttons are wonky - some web pages scroll just fine and some "page up - page down", NOT scroll; that's a time eating pain.
It does boot fast though....wow! Windows 11 is NOT intuitive - 10 was easy to figure out in just a few hours..not HP's fault. Overall I'd buy another one.
Computer has frozen on me several times in it's first week just from using chrome. Feels heavier than my desktop computer but somehow very underpowered. Screen looks nice in a dark room but the glare is really bad. No help from HP support.
With the first startup it worked ok and loaded the software. I could not get it to see my HP W10 computer on my network which seems strange and is causing difficulties. then this morning it is completely different and does not recognize me. wiped out my desktop icons and is in a new world. It acts like it is the first time I've turned it on.
