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.
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.
Very nice laptop. I ordered through chat to get exactly what I was looking for. Took some time to find the right model and docking station that were compatible. The only extra software that came installed was McAfee which was easy to uninstall. There was virtually no setup to do after that other then install Office, install my other programs and move my files. Very good screen resolution. Very fast startup. Keys seem a little bigger or it's just the font used. Happy with my purchase.
Great computer, easy to set up and much faster than my previous HP Pavilion. I was unable to do a direct transfer of previous laptop programs and file, but was able to transfer most of what I wanted with external backup drive. Previous HP Pavilion was a 17.3” screen, non-touch. New HP Pavilion is 16” touch screen that is much lighter, easier to carry and easier to use. I miss not having a built-in CD/DVD R/W, but this was less frequently needed and it was not expensive to get an external driver. I really like this on and hope it has a useful life like the last one (9 years + and still working) before our friends at MicroSoft drop updates to Windows 11.
