I bought this during the Black Friday sale so the price was great. It came with Windows 11 Home. Thankfully not in S mode so it was easy to load everything I needed. It's very light for a 17" laptop. It's very fast for everyday activities. I don't play games so I don't know how it would be. overall I'm very pleased.
The laptop performs well. After just one month i have found a few pixels not working. What impacts me more is the lack of light to see keyboard. I just thought it would be a standard feature. So now i wil buy a usb powered light to see if that helps.
Pros: Good quality no-glare screen (the main reason of my choice).
Cons: No battery saving feature, as a result the battery lifetime is reduced. Vents only at the bottom: overheat on soft surfaces. HUGE set of parasitic and spy soft! I spent hours cleaning up only most active of them.
She is perfect. I am expecting that we'll share many years together. I added a few features that I am thankful for the back light on keyboard is a plus.
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.
