This is the fourth HP laptop i have purchased in the past 25 years and is likely the best. Faster starts and interaction within varying software. Ease of moving around in the systems and establishing myself on the new PC with speciality software that I use.
Our first new laptop in 5+yrs, therefore the speed is refreshing. The only complaint I have is the battery life is relatively short. The setup was fairly painless, the quick guide was essential. The laptop is used for communications and research.
GREAT Product for the price point and my needs! I am going back to school and the essentials are all there. The large screen is perfect for seeing more of what I am working on at one time.
Solid computer. Runs as expected. Wanted a middle of the road laptop for some gaming and some productivity things. Runs the games I play pretty well at normal settings.
This is a 4star review because the only caveat with this computer is the battery life. It really isn't so bad when you're browsing the web, but when you happen to be playing a game (of any kind) as expected it drains the battery- way faster than you would expect. I'm talking about you got an hour or so until you better get it plugged in and charging. Still happy with the laptop, would like a little more life out of this battery though.
I was surprised to find that a laptop with a high end processor was so lacking in I/O. The HDMI was only 1.4 so it didn't really support a 4k external monitor and the USB C port was essentially non functional as it too would not support an external monitor. I did order another unit that I believe will meet my needs. But I suggest you quit selling unit like the HP 17 Laptop PC 17-cn3097nr. Sell such meager units with less processor and at a much lower price so buyers don't get fooled into thinking they are getting a state of the art machine.
I am happy with my purchase. All of my pc purchases have been HP and I have been happy with every one. I wish the battery would last longer between charging sessions though. It only last for 60 to 80 minutes between charges - not very good for a brand new battery.
