My HP Pavilion laptop is fabulous! It is lightweight, yet feels substantial and well-made. It is also lightning fast. This is my first HP, and I would definitely buy one again and recommend to my friends.
There several things I have been disappointed with.
1. No card reader. I haven't bought a pc for a while but I can't believe it's an option that I should have looked for. It's absurd to think I need to drag around another device just to be able to use my SD cards.
2. The power button is in a ridiculous place. It's always been in the top corner of every other machine I have had over the last 20 years.
So far so good. The laptop works fine, I already installed most the apps that I need and all my information and documents. It is fast, seamless and good quality.
