The product is first-rate at a good price. Product runs on the Windows 11 package supplied to HP. Windows/Bing and HP have packed this computer full of many, many, many offers and free trials. So many, it seriously detracts from using the computer. Bing is more integrated than ever and refuses to let you use your selected browser, new tab, or opening choices without suffering through Bing. HP computer is excellent; Bing is insufferable; all the upsell stuff is tiring. If there is ever another one, I will spend more time researching the operating system's transition and getting it delivered without bloatware..
Setup – excessive updates were required during setup; bias, 3 firmware. and at least 20 HP and Microsoft software updates. Software – much of the included HP software is more an aggravation than a convenience. The HP and Microsoft AI is mostly an aggravation instead of a help. Before I realized how screwed up the software was, the HP software did a system update on its own and made everything pretty much unusable. Fortunately, I had made a restore point after setup and was able to roll it all back. Ended up shutting off most and deleted some of it. Hardware – USB ports on the stand would have been great if they worked. Plug in a USB C extension or hub and the ports all blow. Sometimes directly plugging in a USB thumb drive works and sometimes it also blows the port. The extension, hub, and thumb drives all work normally in the ports of two other computers. Normal methods of restoring the stand ports doesn’t work. Have to take the stand off and then put it back onto restore the ports. Yes, the stand is properly seated
