I needed to replace my broken Pavillion. I really don't need everything this laptop offers but for a little extra I stepped up to this one. They do offer more powerful units, but this is more than enough for me now that I'm retired and just taking care of my day-to-day needs. If you have the means, I recommend this laptop.
Mostly solid system which was the most important thing. Had problems with some web sites not working due to an Intel driver needing to be disabled. Hard to know whose responsibility that was - HP or Windows. Laptop comes with multiple HP apps without explanation of purpose and ready to annoy with popups. Didn’t really care for the trial apps preloaded either. Also, didn’t care to find out the system was built in Vietnam and shipped via China. A month waiting for laptop configuration was a bit much.
My experience with installing and initially using the HP OmniBook has been very good. The Backup and transfer procedure were very easy to follow. There were a few apps that had to be installed, but otherwise I was quite pleased
The only problem I have with the new laptop is the finger pad used for selecting text etc. It's too hard to press with the left side. You have to press 2 or 3 times to select. Right works fine for moving.
