I’m impressed with this laptop. It’s fast, thin and light and the graphics on the 16 inch screen are really nice. WiFi 6 connectivity is an improvement over previous generations.
Setup was fairly simple and went quickly. After updating Windows 11 and removing a few pre-installed apps that I didn’t want or need, installing apps went quickly and smoothly as well. Those apps (MS-Office, Chrome browser, utilities, etc.) and the standard Windows apps open quickly, run fast and smooth and I have not crashed no matter how many windows are open.
Only criticism thus far is that it took longer than expected or initially promised to customize and ship and it would be nice if it had an Ethernet connection and an SD card slot.
The laptop has been performing beyond my expectations. However, the only aspect I overlooked is the mouse pad left and right buttons. I miss those buttons - prefer over the one pad that requires multiple 'gestures' to control the mouse.
Overall the OmniBook 5 is a great workhorse laptop.
I have been transferring files and upgrading software with no issues to date. Old systems are a HP Envy desktop and HP laptop both limited to Win10 thus the upgrade. Both the old desktop and laptop are over 12 y/o so I trust HP quality.
For the first time ever I didn't have computer support to transfer my old laptop to my new one. Using PCMover I found the process to be easy, even though it took almost 20 hours! Once my laptop was moved I only had to download my printer drivers and software to make the new system work like the old one. I am VERY impressed with the speed and ease of use for this system.
About the only problem (Fault) so far---is the placement of the laptop's "touch pad" location...Really causes problems when typing in messages, whatever, etc. One keeps "Fat-Fingering" touchpad and resets the location of the typing pointer etc. causing re-typing errors and numerous re-typing efforts!!!!!!!!!!! mcclelland051
