This computer sports a great value for price ratio. The transaction and delivery were efficiently executed. Although my very old HP EliteBook still runs beautifully but it will now be relegated to a back up role as I adore my brand new HP's 17" screen. I mainly love this new computer in that it runs the Linux operating system without a hitch. Good job HP!! I'd prefer a strictly US keyboard though, but the multilingual Canadian one I got here will also work okay for me.
The purchase went smoothly and delivered in about 10 days. I have had several hp laptops in the past and will continue to use them. I am familiar with the brand.
I works great as a Kubuntu Linux machine. Only issues were that the speakers don't work, (on Windows or Kubuntu) though sound on Bluetooth and Chromecast is fine. I had to buy a wifi dongle that included a setup routine for a new Linux driver before it worked, but still the inbuilt wifi modem would not work. I may replace it, but shouldn't have to. Nothing wrong with the "N" class CPU. Speed, screen and backlit keyboard all excellent. Geat low price. It's a keeper.
My last laptop was a HP , and I loved it until I got malware on it obviously my fault , it was at lease 12 yrs old I knew I would want the same Hp laptop again so happy with this fast , and dependable ! Love HP
