As a rule, it's a good purchase; as responsive as the specs you select. Only a few oddities that could have been avoided by HP. ---The cooling fan noise is not a deal breaker, but just louder than I expected. Maybe it was a price point decision. ---The touchpad will hang up in random circumstances. A connected mouse doesn't have this problem. Maybe quality control caught this too late before they went into production? ---The camera is substandard; apparently it was selected just so they could say that it has a camera. So, shop for a USB replacement and disable the built-in camera in settings.
I really like this new laptop. My only knocks on it are the keyboard is too responsive, repeating too easily; I'd really like more USB ports. Windows 11 is taking a little while to get used to, but that's not on HP. I'm enjoying using this computer.
