Excellent PC. Well configured. Good combination of screen size, screen resolution, keyboard, RAM, SSD, and HDD. Enough I/O. Very good battery life. Quality construction. Excellent performance. Exceptional value.
The specs are accurate and are as expected of a 13th gen i7, and functions really well. I have had a small software glitch with my bluetooth headphones cutting out, which I believe is a minor driver issue. One thing I like is the physical webcam cover that can be manually toggled (webcam quality is decent, as expected of most laptop webcams). The touchpad is a thing to get used to if you previously had a laptop that had physical buttons below the touchpad. The battery life is good, and the charger is a 45W one that can be interchangeably used with some other HP Laptop products, which is even better. Overall, this is a good laptop for students that need to use it on the go, or for use in a single location at home, and has solid processing power that lets you run apps like Solidworks or Photoshop without any trouble at all (as expected from the specs).
I keep getting emails stating my service agreement ends in 1 year, but I paid for 3 years. It shows this on my invoice. It doesn’t run as fast as it should for some reason.
Just a heads up for anyone wanting to buy this with the default configuration. To make this a modern, competitive laptop, be sure to add the optional 1920x1080 display and the backlit keyboard. These cannot be added afterwards easily, and the default display and keyboard tend to be subpar by today's standards. The RAM and SSD upgrades should also be considered, but at least I can do these updates later. Opening the laptop to do this requires skill since the whole bottom needs to come off to access the PCIe and RAM slots. There are screws hidden under both rubber strips. The Win 11 included is 24H2. Also, there is no ethernet port on this laptop, only WiFi. The Core 5 120U is a faster cpu than the i5 1334U and i7 1335U in the 17t-cn300 model. Intel integrated graphics is good enough for me.
