Very happy with the Pavilion. I got all my software loaded and very happy with the speed. Only wish I would have ordered the backlit keyboard. Thank you.
This Laptop is perfect, the reason I bought this is because I bought one that did not work and had to be returned. This has Windows 11 pro - that might do the differens? I am actually glad the first one had to be returned - then I got one that really works perfect.
I'm quite pleased with the Pavilion laptop, buying a rather hi-end configuration. However, there was so much "stuff" to wade through setting it up I was truly amazed. Plus, to took way too long to finally get all the settings configured so that I had control of the machine and not the needless "we'll guess what you want" touch-screen configuration it came with. Btw, I found nothing to help with all this gobble-de-gook. However, once adjusted correctly (for my use), I've found the HP as useful as the one I moved from, but a nicer, more solid "base" (aluminum case) and responsive due in no small part to the extra large SSD drive.
It's very good: four stars. It has an excellent, clear screen. It's ultra-fast. The number and types of USB ports is helpful. But there are two serious problems that have me concerned. First, it feels flimsy. If I pick it with one hand -- it's very lightweight so this should be OK to do -- I hear the plastic of the cover make a cracking noise. It hasn't cracked -- yet -- but this makes me nervous regarding its durability. Second, the touchpad lacks a usable right click feature. You can right-click in the bottom right corner of the touchpad, but it works poorly compared to an right click button. This makes it difficult to open multiple browsing tabs or to easily transfer files between two "File Explorer" windows.
