I am satisfied with everything, the product corresponds to the description.

I opted for the gray HP 15s-fq5041ci model with the following specifications: 1920x1080 resolution, Intel Core i3-1215U processor, 8 GB RAM, 512 GB solid-state drive (SSD), Intel UHD Graphics, and no operating system (OS). The dated BIOS was the first thing that took me by surprise; it looked just like the one on my PC from 15 years ago. It has almost zero configurability. The laptop's motherboard was the cheapest option available with that chipset. The second is quite frustrating: Windows does not uninstall the driver mechanically. Because HP is leaving in 2022, I reasoned, the section of the webpage with 2022-specific language was foolishly removed. Furthermore, regional variations in the naming of laptop models and drivers exist. Since Windows is unable to locate the required kindling on its own, you'll have to waste time looking for it elsewhere on the HP support site. Generally, I was unable to locate all the kindling on my own and instead had to resort to my much-hated driverpack in order to get it installed. Consequently, not everyone was set up: a piece of rubbish with a screen that blinks when you insert or remove an object from a USB port.

Pros
  • When it comes to routine office chores, the laptop performs admirably. The ergonomics and style are both top-notch. Instantaneous service. The sound is passable for a laptop, but it's not very impressive.
Cons
  • The most annoying issue is the inability to use the touchpad, which is a result of driver issues (after installing Windows and ating, 17 drivers are missing, including the critical one). Biological information that is both ancient and inconvenient. Slightly washed-out display
