This is not a laptop for work or those who would like dual monitors. The USB-C only supports data transfer. This is a terrible experience for me and further reason to avoid HP products.
This laptop is decent, but for the price the screen is very low quality. You have to always have it at a certain angle or everything becomes washed out. Better to invest in a different computer with a better screen. This screen seems like it is from the 80s with the grainy quality and matte glare across the entire thing.
This laptop was essentially the same as the one I bought back in early 2020 which I really like. The upgrade makes it run better and faster and provides the consistent features that I want.
This laptop really hit all of the points I was looking for.
Major Pros -Touchscreen is responsive. -The keyboard is great and feels comfortable to work with -Quick buttons are great -Quick to boot up! -Vibrant screen -Lightweight and clean design -The keypad is one of the main reasons why I wanted to get this because of all the data and marketing I worth with -Didn't start with any filler apps like games.
Cons -I was looking to purchase a keyboard cover and I am not able to find anything that matches this computers model. Everything is just slightly off. -The mouse pad does feel a little thin but doesn't detract from how it works -A couple of times since having it I have turned the computer on and it will reset my background. Not sure if anything else was changed but that was the only noticeable thing. Not sure what caused that. -Volume is okay but nothing special, you are definitely going to want to use headphones or a Bluetooth speaker. They work well but nothing to really shout about.
This laptop suits my needs. The only problem I have is the location of the speakers. They would be a lot better if placed on the top of laptop instead of being located on the bottom, which muffles the volume quite a bit. I have to use my anker portable speaker if I want to hear what I have playing on the laptop in another room. I don't believe, but I am not sure if the location was included in the specs I could have read before I made my decision to purchased this model laptop, Other than that I find this laptop suitable for my needs at the price. Backlit keyboard is another big plus for me as I use it a lot a night, For the price in my opinion, it is a great laptop.
