Review on πŸ–₯️ HP PAVILION 13-an0 Notebook - 13.3" Display, Intel Core i3 2.1 GHz, 4GB RAM, 128GB SSD, Windows 10 Home by Jnis Bisters ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The right product for me, there were no problems.

This laptop (HP-an0062ur) cost $34.5k new a month ago on eBay (we hardly used it), and it still has one month left on its warranty. Not too awful, in general.

Pros
  • Very clever (especially with short-term loads), but strangely, it doesn't heat up all that much. In Skyrim, at high settings, the temperature is stable at 60 to 70 degrees. Playing it is quite comfortable. very light and thin. Linux and Windows both function flawlessly on the laptop. On Manjaro, everything functions right out of the box. On Ubuntu 18, the stock kernel incorrectly manages the processor's scheduler (it continually thrashes at 3.46 GHz), and on OpenSUSE LEAP15, everything functions except for Wi-Fi.
Cons
  • The negatives include a dinosaur power supply, a very noisy cooler when under load, a glossy display, and PWM (even though it operates at a high frequency of roughly 1 kHz).
