I don't know if it is because of Windows 11 or HP, F-key's functions are really inconvenient to use. Why do I have to press "FN" to use F keys? Something like reload using F5 is one of some functions I use many times a day and I cannot use them with just a one hand anymore. My hand is small and it is very hard to use F5 key with my left hand. Please let me know if there is a way to use those function keys without pressing FN key. Thanks. Otherwise it is a good laptop but I need more time to find out furthermore.
Mainly a problem with Microsoft. The OOTB experience was plagued with "Oops! Something went wrong!" messages. Eventually, it did become a working computer - but didn't retrieve my full Visual Studio (i.e. Microsoft development environment!) profile. Picky comment - why couldn't the power button be on the left or right side of the keyboard?
The position of the delete key, is annoying, I'd prefer it where page down is now. Also, it's slow to shut down. I am baffled why you have made the F key functions only available with the function key.
