I must admit that I have been pleasantly surprised at the ease I have experienced transitioning from my old computer to this one. I waited until the last minute to get a new computer because I was not looking forward to the change. One of the nice things I have noticed is that my hp printer works better with my hp Windows 11 computer. There have been some minor adjustments, like adding an app that will play my external DVD player. As usual, there were way too many choices. I made sure the computer had an HDMI port as I show videos from my external DVD player to a TV at home or at our church.
Basically, it's a good platform. I don't want the copilot and don't like the copilot key on the keyboard. I don't like that page up/down is buried in the numeric keypad, and would like another CTRL key. I find I'm constantly toggling the NUM LOCK key and that is annoying.
Two things: typing is very touchy as the cursor moves quickly up a line or three and before you know it, you are typing inside another sentence that you've already typed. And the other thing is the camera changing colors and foci on my zoom calls even though I've done everything possible on zoom video to enhance the camera. I am orange and then I'm green. I think I need to have this looked at under warranty.
I’m an architect and I travel a lot, so I was looking for a computer that could support all the programs I use for work and also has a big screen. This laptop works really well, and the battery lasts a long time. Also, the sound is amazing!
Set-up was not particularly easy - needed to purchase an HP Windows 11 Reset System Recovery disc to restore the original operating system that froze while starting. Spent 4 to 5 hours reinstalling the original software received with this PC. Additionally, the pre-installed AV program had to be removed to install my Norton AV suite of protections. All in all, it seems that this LT will ultimately be a fully functional personal computer.
I love my new laptop! I use it for my design business and my job as a remote assistant. I love the expanded keyboard and how smooth the keys are (I type a lot). Also, I have a history of bogging down computers with all the demands I place on them with my graphics, but this has been running well without a hitch. The colors are perfect. With my old computer I was always having to compare the images to my iPad to get a complete idea of where the colors were. This computer's colors are great! And there have been no lags or lockups. I’m extremely happy!
The laptop hangs sometimes for no reason. There are no games or special software installed, only MS Office and some utilities. The screen resolution could be better.
