Based on my research and what I use it for, this laptop was the best choice for me. I use it to manage my investments and my financial plan. I also have written a few financial management “books” for my family members. I have a big photo collection that I use this laptop to manage. I also keep a daily journal, and am currently writing my memoirs for my wife and I to use to take a trip down memory lane as we get old. So nice size for portability. The right amount of RAM (16GB) and memory (1TB) for my needs. Easy download of Word and Excel which I use everyday and enough memory for my huge photo collection.
I am loving my new HP Laptop. I had the pavilion G6 for over 10 years and it served me well. That goes without saying that HP computers are great quality and they last longer than the typical 5 years.
If you're thinking of buying this laptop in 2023, and intend to run Linux, don't. Here's what doesn't work: The camera. The microphone. Suspend & Wake Up. The camera is recognized during the Linux boot process, but there are no drivers to permit any Linux framework (such as UVC) to work with this hardware. (the HP Laptop 15-fc0044ca) HP does not provide drivers, kernel modules, or anything remotely similar for any flavor of Linux for this laptop.
Mixed Feelings: Product Delivers, But Offer Falls Short!!

Verified Purchase:Yes
I was initially excited to purchase this product due to the quality and the enticing promotional offer. The product itself is excellent—well-designed, reliable, and meets my expectations. However, the experience around the offer was disappointing and felt misleading.
I now feel the promotional offer was more of a gimmick than a genuine incentive. While I appreciate the product, the handling of the offer has left a bad impression.
Recommendation: Great product, but be cautious of promotional offers attached—it's not always as it seems.
