This is a replacement for my old Envy HP laptop, 8 yrs old. If I were to do it over again I would wish that the letters on the laptop were whiter and stand out more. What I see is a weak white look and not as prominent as my keyboard is, so without the keyboard It will be a bit harder to see the letters. Other than that little nit, this is a very nice laptop and I hope it lasts the next 8 years and the hinges don't fall off like my old one. Take note HP fix the hinges or come up with a way to lubricate them.
Disappointing. Hardware: (1) Keyboard not backlit, so difficult to see in marginal lighting, (2) mouse touchpad bad design: right mouse click frequently causes left mouse click behavior (3) power cord is USB-C, which easily be bent (4) on numeric keypad: replacement of page-up / page-down keys with calculator and power on/off. Windows 11 software: (1) toggle keys selection often doesn't work, (2) scrollbar width too small and not adjustable, (3) mouse movement difficult: trying to select left click often causes the mouse pointer to move before the left click takes effect, sometimes causing another item in a list to be targeted.
Copilot button replaced right ctrl button. I will never use MS copilot ever. I use the right ctrl with addition of plus, minus, and 0 button for changing the font and/or picture or screen size. Lacking one working arm it is rough to hold the left ctrl and the additional button. Everything else is great. The button feel crisp, the speed is superb, the battery last a long time (one of the things I was scared about) and it feels secure not flimsy that's a big bonus for me.
