The perfect purchase for me, exactly what I was looking for!

So, it took a laptop for my son. He has programming optional. Decided to have a birthday party. Looking forward to long term use. I wanted something like an ultrabook on i5. Well, that is easier, without any CD-drives. Empirically settled on 15.6 " And somehow the current state of the market cooled my ardor. For the money that my HP ProBook 440 used to cost, it was now the lower limit for understandable manufacturers like HP, Lenovo, ASUS, etc. That is, below are either some nouns or Chinese (such as Realmi) For myself, I might have taken this for experiments, but for my son's laptop, I wanted predictability and my minimum participation. As a result, I looked between this HP and the IdeaPad I3. The Lenovos sold at that moment were weaker and more expensive. As a result, I took HP General impressions: 1) Corporate style laptop: dark gray workhorse. Wow-effect cheap plastic will not cause anyone. 2) This model does not have a backlight. I "stupid" looking at the photo in , where she was. I think - can I change it to the same with backlight? 3) There are few ports. On the one hand, two USB Type-A, on the other - one USB Type-C, HDMI, earphone and SD slot. All. Of course, there is a place to stick a mouse, but a little more periphery and you need to take a splitter. 4) The laptop comes with FreeDOS. That is, turn on the computer, you have it loaded in the text mode "C:\" and that's it. By the way, the package includes an insert stating that this model is not compatible with Windows 7 and Windows 8 I bought a flash drive with Windows 11 in a purple online hypermarket and installed everything. (technically everything is simple, but it’s better to be insured at the stage of launching from a flash drive) 5) The screen is matte anti-reflective. Hopefully my eyes will be less tired. 6) The i5 + SSD + 16Gb bundle works smartly, I hope it will last for a long time for daily tasks.

Pros
  • 1) Lightweight 2) Pretty smart 3) Anti-glare screen 4) IPS 5) i5
Cons
  • 1) Lack of keyboard backlight 2) Plain plastic 3) Few ports
