It's a nice laptop for my purposes but has the very annoying issue of the "wandering pointer." You're in the middle of typing something and the pointer disappears to another location continuing my typing elsewhere. :(
I love this computer. It has all the features I need for what I use it for. I just needed a basic, fast, easy -to-use computer and this one fits the bill. My only complaint is that the power cord is on the left side, and the right side is where my outlet is. I am lefthanded and my mouse sometimes get caught on the cord. I do like using a mouse even though the touch pad works fine.
This is different from my regular HP laptop but I am getting used to it and I really like it. Love how quick it is, got a ton of storage. This should last me quite a while.
This is my 5th HP computer. '91 was a 386 SX-16 and then a few laptops over the years - the older laptop from '14 still works; that's impressive! The original battery is still alive...
What I don't like is the overly sensitive "rocker" as opposed to the older L/R buttons on the touch pad. Also there's something I've NEVER seen before...the up/down page ▲▼ buttons are wonky - some web pages scroll just fine and some "page up - page down", NOT scroll; that's a time eating pain.
It does boot fast though....wow! Windows 11 is NOT intuitive - 10 was easy to figure out in just a few hours..not HP's fault. Overall I'd buy another one.
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.
