This computer is a powerhouse for doing creative audio editing and some light video editing. The only disappointment is no USB C ports. That is surprising for a new PC in 2023.
I can't even review the PC because I can't get into it as my windows Password requires a key that will not work on the included keyboard. Absolutely pathetic QC that they don't check all keys on a keyboard work, and the quality of the keyboard is pretty low to begin with. For a high-end PC like this, I expect something of quality in the box OR NOTHING. That way I know I need 3rd party accessories instead of including these kiddy peripherals.
PC is usable, but it will stop processing and "freeze" for a few seconds every so often. At first, I thought it was my keyboard and mouse, but soon found the entire screen would stop refreshing. A little more looking into it and any task it was doing, playing music, video, copying files, etc. would just stop for a few seconds then start back up. This PC is not being used remotely. After searching for a bit, I found many other people with a Z2 G9 with the same problem. The solution is to stop/remove all HP services/software.
Lastly this is more of a review of HP in general. I've been buying and using HP PC and printers for years, supporting about 40 PCs and various printers, etc. I've always used HP because those products just worked. Odd ball issues with their PCs, like above, and the PITA printers and printer support systems they have now, and the whole bloatware crap wolf security pro, etc. I'm ready to give another MFG a go, the grass might be greener but at least I'll have tried.
