This replaced an old but reliable HP 17" laptop, which had a very slow hard disk and was stuck with Windows 10. This new one is much much faster, comes with Windows 11, and had a nice pre-Christmas special price. We hope it will be as reliable as our old HP laptop.
Computer works well. Very disappointed with the quality of the sound. Even with a great pair of studio quality head phones the sound is thin and is nowhere as good as the sound in my old Dell laptop. I am a professional musician and would not recommend this laptop to other musicians for this reason.
Lack of light on numbers lock key is a real inconvenience and the inability to turn off security pin requirement is a real nuisance also. Had I known of these two issues I would have selected another brand.
It is a fairly fast Laptop for the money. To get a faster machine would normally cost a whole lot more. I got it because I need a computer that is fast enough to handle a fair amount of graphics as like to create digital art and also to run Visual Studio IDE for C++ coding without .bogging down.
I love that it is a wide screen and has a numeric key pad. It is easy to type on but the keys are very sensitive so you can't rest on them. I strongly dislike that is has very few ports and I had to buy a multiport hub in order to plug in more than a wireless mouse and thumb drive. The lack of ports is my main reason for the rating. I was able to customize this when I bought it but additional ports was not an option that they offered. The unit is light weight. I was able to plug in an additional monitor to this so that is a plus.
