I'm just an average home user - Great laptop with lots of available add-on options - the display is nice and bright and fills most of the screen - the keyboard keys are nicely spaced and responsive - like that the keys are a different color than the laptop - Cons: wish HP would have kept the dedicated power port and cable - feel like daily using the USB-C port will cause damage or the port will become loose - it just seems cheap robbing the customer of an additional USB-C port Lots of Blot-ware that had to be deleted or disabled but that comes with most manufactures
I love this laptop. It works well for my CAD/CAM processes. The laptop itself does exactly what I need to get my work done. However, every time I get on there are a million pop ups. I do not want to buy more HP products, I do not want to renew my MCcaffee....If there is something you think I need send me an e-mail. I am working....I do not want to sit and read through all of your pop ups to filter through the necessary. Honestly I do not look at any of them. I close them. Get them out of my way so I can work. If you send me an e-mail every now and then with options they would get more attention.
Perfect size for me with great picture quality on the screen. Boots up quick and runs all my tabs and apps smoothly. Only complaint is the battery life-- I'll be running only Spotify and Google Docs, with brightness and volume on low but still only get so many hours out of it. Not sure what's eating up the battery as it's still brand new and these aren't energy intensive apps as far as I'm aware. Lightweight and slim, it fits anywhere I take it which is impressive given how big of a screen size it is.
Set up process not quite as easy as it should be. I still can't get itunes to play through the headphone jack. It looks like I have to chose headphones or speakers when my prior HP's automatically detected headphones and matched volume controls to the device.
