Have had HP laptop in the past. Had a good experience with it, so when purchasing a new laptop stayed with HP. Upgraded processor, storage, and operating system.
Even though it is a 17' it seems a lot smaller. I do love the fact that it is lighter than my old one. I'm still not crazy about Windows 11, but I am getting used to it.
Computer is a nice machine but have had issues with setting up the touchpad scroll speed. Price was good for the performance. It is always plugged in so can not gage the battery life. Screen resolution is excellent.
Not used to laptops, so not sure how to manage expectations. Gets a little warm, and the battery seems to drain just as fast as a cell phone in use. Again, nothing to compare that to.
