Verified Purchase:Yes
I really like my new laptop, but I miss the lighted keyboard which was on my old HP 17" Envoy. Also wish it still had a CD player like my previous model. Basically, it is adequate for my needs, but I miss the above mentioned features.
This laptop falls fall short of HP’s normal consideration of customer needs. It will not work with a dock and has only one monitor port. The usb port will not work with monitors either (utilizing appropriate plug and play converter).
I purchased this laptop because it was pretty much the same as the previous one that I purchased some time ago. However, I do not like the side where the power cord is on which is on the right side and I do not like where the power on and off button is which is located in the middle of the upper keyboard. I much rather have a free sitting button where I can find it without having to look for it.
The HP Laptop 17t-cn300 has proven to be an excellent device with no major issues as of the date of this review. Its overall performance has been reliable, making it a solid choice for professional use. However, one aspect that requires attention is the Microsoft Word program that was purchased as an additional feature. Upon saving documents, I discovered that Word was preset to automatically store files in OneDrive, rather than in local storage. Since there was no prior information provided about this setting, locating saved files became challenging. After some troubleshooting, I realized my documents were stored in the cloud rather than in the Documents folder on my laptop. As someone who prefers keeping files locally, I had to take additional steps—including deleting OneDrive—to prevent automatic cloud storage. Apart from this Word storage issue, the initial setup was smooth and hassle-free. As a certified photo-video journalist, blogger, and Google reviewer, I rely on my HP laptop and desktop for critical tasks, and this device has met my expectations well. Overall, despite the minor inconvenience with OneDrive settings, this has been a great purchase with dependable performance. Users who prefer local file storage may want to adjust settings or seek guidance during setup to avoid similar issues.
