My old computer was a smaller HP laptop with a tough screen. This computer doesn't have a touch screen, and I thought that I wouldn't miss it and didn't use it much. However, from the fingerprints on the screen of my new computer I am realizing how much I did use that feature. I really miss it. This new computer is a very nice computer for the money, and I am enjoying it a lot. It has a good picture quality and nice sound too.
I like the very fast startup of the laptop. I also like that it weighs less than the older models. I do not like the way HP has integrated the smaller power button with the top roll of small keys instead of leaving it above the keyboard by itself. As a personal preference I do not like the power cord having been changed to the right side of the laptop instead of the left side, since the power cord now lays on my legs based on where my power outlet is located. I was not able to see the power cord change based on HP's illustration. HP may want to look at a simpler way to turn on and off the touch pad instead of having to look for it in the system setting. Some other companies have it where you tap the upper left corner of the touch pad twice to turn it off or on and it displays a light when it is off. Overall, I am very pleased with the laptop.
I received my order very quickly. I am not tech savvy, so my son got it all set up for me and transferred what I needed from my old computer. So far, I am very happy with my new computer. Much faster than my old one, and an easy transition.
I love my new HP 17t-cn300 laptop. It is (almost) everything that I wanted. The only things that I would have liked are one or two more USB ports and a drive for reading the SD cards from my camera.
I bought this during the Black Friday sale so the price was great. It came with Windows 11 Home. Thankfully not in S mode so it was easy to load everything I needed. It's very light for a 17" laptop. It's very fast for everyday activities. I don't play games so I don't know how it would be. overall I'm very pleased.
The laptop performs well. After just one month i have found a few pixels not working. What impacts me more is the lack of light to see keyboard. I just thought it would be a standard feature. So now i wil buy a usb powered light to see if that helps.
