Esthetically pleasant, solid build, wants to look and act like an Apple, but multiple reboots and hot keypad in numerous occasions, that took multiple weeks of software setting changes, updates and battery management setting changes to get to a point where it doesn't do it made me realize is far from an Apple experience. If I would do it again, I would buy the Apple instead.
Screen semi damaged upon receiving . The screen starting up is damaged because there’s a bright spot in even starting up the laptop in the bottom right. Hard to find an appropriate screensaver for when you want to use the writing aspect. Function button light won’t shut off and through restart it doesn’t. I can’t even use volume buttons now or control keypad lights. Kind of ridiculous. Also, made no modifications to laptop and it took a month to get.
It was time to get a new laptop. My old Windows 10 laptop was 5+ years old. With the deal I got from HP, I opted for the OmniBook 7 Flip laptop. The touchscreen and 360 swivel screen are a bonus since I never had those features before. The 1920x1080 screen is OLED which makes it very vivid and crisp. The screen is a manageable 16". I can fit that in a laptop backpack or in carry-on luggage. The laptop case is aluminum which seems sturdy and durable. The laptop comes with 2 USB-A and 2 USB-C ports. The only issue with the USB-C ports that I have is the 5-volt power is still available even when the laptop is shut down. I have external speakers, which are USB powered, connected to one of the USB-C ports. I have to disconnect the speakers when I turn off the laptop lest the battery is drained. For retro connections, there are an HDMI port and an audio jack for headsets. I do some video gaming. The onboard Intel graphics readily handles all of the older games I play. I haven't tried playing any recent, graphics intensive games, however. The laptop is advertised as a lightweight laptop. Personally, I think it weighs as much as my old laptop which has a 17" screen.
