This is a great laptop with the newest Core 5 processor. The number of cores and threads in the processor could be misleading. This one just has 2 performance cores which is what really matters. Do the research. The one thing that I regret was finding out the RAM is soldered and is not expandable. This wasn't clear in the specs on the HP sales pages but I did find it after digging deeper. The screen is fine but not a huge improvement from older comparable HP laptops. The one thing that these new models have that is two fantastic multipurpose high speed USB-C ports where you can power the laptop, connect screens or hubs.
So, was hoping this would be a good laptop, but it’s actually not that great. You cannot do much of anything with this thing. Can’t even get screensaver to run on it. I had to purchase something to get basic photos/videos to show up in media player. My advice is unfortunately to spend a little more to upgrade graphics, etc. This may be going back soon because there were other issues as well which I have not been contacted back about.
So far so good. All expectatios met. Turns on and starts up right away. Very sensitive to touch but not to worry nothing gets list or deleted . Having fun reintroducing myself to a quality machine for my business needs. Again, "so far, so good.
