Verified Purchase:Yes
My last 17" HP Laptop lasted about 10 years before the no replaceable battery warned me of 6% life left and I knew it was time for a replacement, so I purchased this one at a remarkably great value. All is well with this one for the first couple of weeks, except for the white printing on the keys on the keyboard are already fading to the point that I have already had to purchase a stencil set to put over the keys so I can readd them. My old HP Laptop did not have this problem after 10 years, and the keyboard keys on it still appear like new, so I am quite disappointed in the way that the keys on this new PC have faded so drastically so soon
So Far it looks like a great unit only problem is that the hard drive is the one part that I over looked it is not a large as the one it was purchased to replace, totally my fault an oversight on my part. From the little I have used it setup was easy plug it in and turn it on the machine does it all.
I found that the mouse is too sensitive. The skin felt cheep and thin . Lost sound for two days, also it showed a blue screen than timed out. It just turned back on the next morning. after a few tries of turning it on and off it powered up.
I am pleased overall with my new laptop. I would have liked a couple additional USB ports and I don't like that the on/off button is buried on the Function key line. This is my first time using Windows 11 and I do not like it as much as Windows 8-10. Things that were intuitive with previous Windows OS require more work to accomplish with Windows 11. That, however, isn't an HP issue. The laptop itself is durably built, light, and powerful.
Very very very good. Best computer I have ever owned. By far one of the most quality computers for all that you can do on it. Great performance for great price. Would buy it everytime if given the chance.
This PC has everything I was looking for at a good price. The size, speed, extra HD and SSD and adequate RAM and CPU fit our needs. We were not looking for a gaming PC but one that would replace an old HP desktop for portability and space saving. This PC fit the bill perfectly. Picture and sound resolution and quality are acceptable. No problems setting up and transferring personal files and photos from the older PC.
