Very nice computer. I love the 17” because there is no strain on my eyes. Also the touch screen is very responsive. This computer is very fast. The data transfer from my old computer to this new HP was a breeze. To be honest, I haven’t figured out everything this thing will do. This thing will do more than you could ever imagine. You won’t go wrong with this laptop.
The laptop PC functions as advertised, with the following EXCEPTION: the USB and HDMI ports on the laptop are extremely "tight", so that it is physically very difficult to connect and disconnect external devices and cables to these ports. In fact, the physical "tightness" of the HDMI port is so problematic that the male connector portion of an external HDMI cable I had connected to this port sustained physical damage during disconnection of the cable from the HDMI port on the PC (i.e., the male connector portion of the HDMI cable physically separated from the HDMI cable itself while attempting to disconnect it from the port. After the "plug" portion of the cable separated from the cable itself, I actually had to use a pair of pliers to grip and remove the remnant "plug" portion of the external HDMI connector from the laptop HDMI port. It required a fair amount of pulling force using the pliers to remove the "stuck" portion of the external cable's plug-in connector from the laptop's HDMI port.) The referenced HDMI cable has been used with other devices I own without any problems in terms of connector fit and functionality.
I will be investigating this problem further after I procure a replacement HDMI cable. (I cannot re-use the referenced cable, due to the damaged connector.) If this problem recurs with a new cable, I will be contacting HP for warranty repair/replacement of the HDMI port...this port should NOT "grip" the connector portion of an external HDMI cable so tightly that the cable connector sustains damage during disconnection.
Wonderful new computer. Very Adaptable to old and new programs.

Verified Purchase:Yes
I really enjoy my new HP Laptop computer. The screen is especially notable as high quality. I've had some difficulty with the mouse clicks to open an app. It will take some getting used to.
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.
