I love the new battery health features included. Not only can I limit battery charging to 80% which my previous HP laptop had too, but I no longer have to worry about leaving my laptop plugged into the dock even after the battery charge has reached 80%. It'll stop charging and basically take the battery out of the equation, powering the laptop directly from the power cord. NICE!!! The 17" screen is bright and vibrant, working well even outside, and the included nVidia card is great for when I'm docked to my big 27" gaming monitor.
One thing I'd like to see is the ability to unlock the advanced BIOS settings on this laptop. I was unable to utilize certain features of the (business level) 280W dock because I couldn't get access to that, so I ended up downgrading to the 180W model. (I had even tried all the reddit suggestions to try to unlock it to no avail.)
This laptop may not work for everybody because of the size (17in). it seems everyone wants smaller and smaller. Myself being a senior citz. It is easer for me to see and read...

Not a good computer

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.
HP laptop was purchased at the same time as a HP small tower and both are quite good. Very good battery life. I am not sure I would purchase a PC with an AI processor again. Way too intrusive. Although my replacement machines were running Windows 11, Microsoft Windows 11 on my new tower and laptop have scrambled up my existing systems in a way I thought was not possible. Very upset! With four PCs now untrustworthy I am finally planning to switch to Linux. HP should abandon Windows 11 and offer Linux OS PCs.
