To start With, I have only experience apples notebook. I had enrolled in college and purchased the HP PC so that I could work as a medical biller. It was very easy to set up. It arrives and was a beautiful pale blue. It had instructions and videos on how to set it up and work it. It is very easy to type on. I really love it
I am very pleased with HP products, including our printer and new laptop. But set up of a new laptop and transfer from an old laptop to a new one should be easier!
My new HP Pavilion 16 is great, and I am enjoying it all of the available features. It has been easy so far and I am learning new tricks every day. A variety of tools I can use for pleasure or for business.
This is a great laptop for personal use - it's lightweight and boots-up quickly. My wife uses it for e-mail, streaming online news, and photos. The initial set-up went smoothly. The price reduction was a major plus in my decision to buy it. I would definitely recommend this laptop for similar uses.

If for any reason this is probably just cuter and smaller than my old 17-in windows 10 unit. It's harder to see the screen it was very difficult to transfer everything from my Windows 10 to the this Windows 11 on the 16th inch Pavilion. It doesn't come with explicit instructions in the world of computers you would think it would be much easier to prepare Windows 10 as a package and just put the two of them together while you slept and it would suddenly be everything on your new laptop. But it took hours and hours and I am still not completely done and Windows 10 is acting up again, it was not a simple task.
This 16 inch laptop was a good value for the sale price. The screen is bright and the keyboard is large. There are a few challenges that make it less than ideal. There is no RJ 45 network port. The number of USB A ports is very limited. One of the USB C ports is used for the power connection. Given the small number of USB A ports and the absence of a network port, we purchased a 13 port docking station to connect a USB printer, mouse, keyboard, LED light for the non-backlit keyboard and an RJ 45 network port. Those ports should have been included in the base configuration and an option for a backlit keyboard should have been as well. While convenient to have an HDMI port and a built-in camera, the utility of the laptop was significantly diminished by the small number of USB A ports and the lack of a network port.
