It is a very good computer, very fast next to my old HP and everything is as clear as a bell. I would give it higher marks if you got rid of Microsoft and Macfee every move they pop up and delay what ever you are doing.
Love the speed - fast enough for me. But on the downside, no place for DVD or for an SD card, tho I was aware of the lack ofthe former when I purchased....also, the plug pulls out too easily and it is difficpult to open lid when closed up. But overall, it works well for me.
Purchased upgraded replacement for 12yo HP laptop that had been a workhorse.
PROS: Excellent viewing size screen, crisp graphics, reasonable customizing options for this price point, excellent price point for options available. Consistent reliability has been my experience with HP.
CONS: Arrives with unremovable bloatware in Windows 11, AND unwanted HP useless items consuming the space you paid for. Keys feel too light/cheap. Hinge feels weak, opens and closes with some instability. The upper 17" screen is excellent, but lower keyboard area is awkwardly positioned in the large lower area being pushed up to the base of the hinge---reaching to type is then oddly far forward.
Hey all I’m not computer savvy in the least bit and my last HP lasted 14 years because I’m afraid of “change”. My last HP was held together by bubblegum and duct tape. This new one is lightening fast and it was so easy to setup a computer moron like myself did it with ease. The only thing I wish I had added was the keyboard lights up feature. Other then that it exceeds all my needs LOVE IT !!
