I like the laptop. It starts in just seconds and when I shut it down it's just as quick. The battery doesn't last as long as I hoped, but it does take a few hours of running before I have to plug it in and re-charge the battery. A lot of it depends on how many apps are running in the background. I turned off the ones I don't use much. I use my wireless mouse and keyboard with the laptop and it works great. This is not considered a gaming laptop but it does quite well with the ones I've tried like WoW and Diablo III.
So far this has been a great experience. I love the sleek design and simplicity of the initial setup. Windows 11 has been flawless. The only thing I would change is the placement of the power button and the option to turn off the mouse pad. Overall 4/5 stars.
I have only used the new pc a couple times but so far so good.. it is very nice looking, like the bigger screen. Now I just have to familiarize myself with Windows 11 as I had an iMac before this.
I guess it was my fault, but every HP computer and laptop have always had a cd drive. Imagine my surprise when I look for the CD drive to play some music on! Oh and I did add a goodly amount of money to get what I wanted as addons. Other than that the computer is fast (upgraded), storage is good (upgraded) and the visuals are wonderful.
