Bought this for my wife who had a notebook that was still working but given the uncertainty with prices decided to buy her a new one now. She has a HP laptop at her work so is familiar with the brand. She is happy with it her only minor nick is the noisy touchpad. Its very clicky when doing left or right clicks. The battery life is meh, about what her old one was. About 5 hours which is fine for her use. As I was setting it up for first time there was a lot of HP apps that really added to overhead. After removing many the laptop seems to run better. It runs quiet much of the time and only gets a little warm.
Turned on, seems to work. Was reluctant to get an HP after getting one of their printers. Ready to put a hammer through that. But the laptop was a good price and functions properly.
Wonderfully fast laptop with all the bells and whistles. The Wolf Security is top notch but make sure you activate it fully before web browsing. Was going through initial updates and easily downloaded malware before eliminating after software updated and was fully active. Screen is beautiful and brilliant, camera is okay quality and good enough for forced workspace meetings, If you want 4k quality, however, this is definitely not it. I love the backlit keyboard. Previous was lighter keys and it hurt my eyes. These are darker and easier to tell when light is on although it is a little lighter than other keyboard backlight. Lastly, integrated fingerprint scanner is essential for work security. All in all best laptop I've ever bought so far.
