I had to hire an expert because I was having problems and was told something was wrong with the Pavillion computer so sadly I had to return the device. Overall HP computers are good but I got a lemon.
I really enjoy the freedom of a laptop after always having desktops before. I can sit in my recliner rather than at my desk. The screen is slightly smaller than my previous equipment but I don't notice that, as it is also closer to my face. I am still getting used to the touchpad, need to learn to keep my fingers far away or it will sense the proximity as a touch. I may order a mouse just to see if that feels more familiar. The backlit keyboard with full size keys is a joy, especially after enduring the tiny keypad of a cellphone while awaiting my new laptop. Due to a windstorm I have been using the new laptop nonstop dealing with contractors and insurance company, but I hope to have time in the near future to actually learn all the capabilities of this new machine and get the settings adjusted for my personal preferences. Overall I am very happy with my purchase.
My old HP laptop had slowed considerably so I upgraded to this and couldn't be happy. I chose an Intel Core 5 120u processor with 16 KB RAM and a 528 SSD. It loads very quickly and quickly switches between programs easily. The screen is clear and I like the backlit keyboard. I would buy this again in a heartbeat.
When you update, I highly recommend you leave the laptop plugged in after the updates are installed then go through the hp app and re-update it from there. The laptop will not recognize its battery until you do so.
I’ve used the laptop a handful of times and the camera is already malfunctioning. The message I get is there is something impeding the lens, and I can see some type of material benibd there covering half of it. Ridiculous.
I bought this laptop for my son to use as his main computer after he moved to home school. It does everything he needs for class. He likes the color we picked out for the outside. Super easy for him to use and it was a good price.
Love my Laptop. I'm just so excited to have an upgrade from my last laptop. Love the bigger screen and the keyboard. The only thing I might want different is the mouse pad on the laptop, it seems almost too seamless. I'm loving my laptop, thanks HP!
