Revainrating 5 out of 5

Everything in the purchase suits, a very necessary product.

In general, I liked this machine. Of course, this is not a Mac, but it will satisfy a schoolboy / student / amateur video artist. The latest version of Windows 10 flew quickly, all drivers automatically pulled up when connected to the Internet. The manufacturer shoved a stripped-down version of Linux onto the disk, along with all the useful manuals and documents, ie. FreeDOS is installed out of the box, but the docks are read from a graphical Linux shell. For this customer focus, I give HP respect. In the end, I demolished all the partitions and partitioned the disk the way I wanted. "Amphibeotropic asphyxia" did not allow me to take a machine of similar power from other vendors. I don’t see the point in overpaying for an aluminum case, a touch screen and a Ryzen 7 5700U. Everyone decides for himself.

Pros
  • Thin, light, neat, great performance. There is a backlit keyboard and a fingerprint sensor. Micron DDR4 2x8GB memory modules and SSD KIOXIA 512GB (Toshiba) are installed. The keyboard is full size, the buttons are large. The touchpad is sensitive. I like the screen. If you need more, I have a semi-professional monitor. The battery is quite capacious, but personally I'm too lazy to detect the battery life, I bought a non-military satellite.
Cons
  • Nagging: small icons of function keys and 2022n letters (although my eyesight is poor). The mouse buttons combined with the touchpad "didn't work" for me, but this "minus" can be easily corrected by the fact that RMB is called by tapping with 2 fingers. An additional USB port would be handy, but probably now there is such a "trend": 2pcs USB3.0 1pc. USB 3.0 Type C At the maximum frequency, the cooler really whistles like a miniature turbine, but for me this is not critical. In normal mode, it is inaudible.
