Pros
- The load. Dimensions. The ability to be taken anywhere. Easily handles the rigors of office life. With light to moderate use, the battery will last a full day.
Cons
- Poorly placed power button. Exposure for the brand outside. The imprints of fingerprints are still visible. The SD card protrudes by 0.3 cm from the side. I have run out of ideas.
Pros
- Affordable and delicious filling
Cons
- Colors don't come across very well on this IPS screen. On a laptop, white seems overly "warm," or yellow, making it impossible to achieve a proper color balance. It can't be done using the Windows 10 settings or the AMD programs. The screen's brightness is low as well, though that's not an emergency. Moreover, the standard of the case is extremely low. This is perhaps one of the most crucial aspects of a laptop. The laptop's poor plastic construction and lack of included stiffeners make it flex in all directions under pressure or when lifted by a corner. To put it simply, this "feature" is what ultimately led to me getting married. In particular, a wheezing noise. If you're a guy and you've noticed that your speakers start "rattling" as you turn up the volume to around 60%, you can rule out the drivers and focus on the settling case by doing the following: You may stop the rattling by pushing anywhere on the case while the music is playing. I sent my laptop back to the maker because I believe a recall should be issued for the entire production run, much as in the auto industry. I really don't see how the HP quality assurance team let this product pass muster. All these bent keyboards are a huge issue, and many reviewers have complained about the noise it makes (which is MARRIAGE, not a "feature" because of the price). I'll point you a few of the minor drawbacks: memory frequency 3200, while the timings are too high, which is why the memory latency is about 105 ns, the read-write speed is about 35 mbs, and I had trouble installing drivers for anything other than the latest build of Windows 10 (I couldn't install drivers at all until I ated Windows). At my advanced age of twenty-one, I believe it is time to standardize all mobile devices on the type-c charging port. Again, poor ergonomics means that the right side of the device is where you'll find the mouse-unfriendly ports (for USB, HDMI, and charging).
Pros
- Nice laptop, tiny, speedy, quiet, standard page up/page down/home/end keys. Processor and memory of modern design. The plastic on the interior hasn't been creased. Doesn't appear to get warm. The keyboard has an illuminated backlight.
Cons
- Every port is located on the right side! The button to turn the power on is uncomfortably small and jagged. Does not support charging using USB-C. The assembly is questionable: in the open shape, the lower right corner dangles in the air a bit, which is acceptable but ruins the image. It looks like one of the screws is damaged. Smells under load. No LAN.
Pros
- Light. Compact. Productive. Backlighting for the keyboard. Time spent working. Good screen.
Cons
- The noise that the cooler makes can be really annoying at times. Speakers arranged in a whirl. Stickers that leave stains on the case after being removed. They were eliminated right away. Because every port is on the right side, using a mouse to do work can be awkward at times due to the placement of the ports.
Pros
- Quite thin. a matte screen.
Cons
- It's merely a failure of engineering. 1. Constantly blowing hot air while whistling. Even when the laptop is in "standby" mode, the fan is still operating, which drains the battery. 2. The laptop occasionally "forgets" to wake up with its screen on (!). power button, esc, and ten times with the mouse space bar. Hard power off is the only option. Unsaved documents are gone. 3. WiFi drops out frequently and without warning. This is particularly obvious in real-time video communications rather than uploading like in movies. When it can fall off ten times in an hour, it is quite unpleasant. I initially believed the service provider, however it was actually a laptop WiFi adaptor. And for now, everything is fine on other laptops and phones. 4. During a video call, it gets hot and whistles terribly, which inherently disrupts the conversation. In 2022, laptops would be excused from this, but not in 2022. 5. A 4K movie is noisier to watch than one on a video projector. Just the conclusion. Not a word! 6. Two USB ports are too close to each other for two flash drives to be inserted without interfering with one another. 7. Gray keyboard with invisible gray text and gray buttons. It gets worse if you use the backlight, which is very bright. Power key (8). already stated in this. At first, I didn't even think it was true. Now I see it's accurate. 9. The icing on the cake: The brightness setting is reset when the charging wire is turned on and off.
Pros
- Samsung's fine iron SSD m2 on 512 amazing design Gorgeous FULL HD display with a top-notch IPS matrix It sounds wonderful. possesses a fingerprint scanner The 7 HM process technology extends the battery's lifespan for this kind of power, keeps it cool, and limits its power consumption to 15 to 30 watts. has Bluetooth 5.0, WiFi 2.4 to 5 GHz, and illuminated keys.
Cons
- - There are just 2 USB ports and no LAN port (this was decided by buying a splitter from USB C). -Only charges via the main power outlet; does not charge via USB C. - only 512 MB of integrated graphics, which cannot be increased in the BIOS. It's nitpicking, I suppose.
Pros
- Screen is very thin and light, and it has outstanding quality. It works very well with graphics programs like Adobe PhotoShop, Illustrator, and Premier 2022, and it does not lag or slow down. A true blessing for those who work in graphic design, social media marketing, or marketing in general. A further benefit is the cost, in my opinion. For the price of 45,000, this is not a significant amount of money for a laptop like this.
Cons
- That's not too shabby for the laptop by itself. It came to my attention that modern laptops do not come equipped with a network port (RJ-45). The problem was not made any worse as a result of this, however if you work in an office and your printer is linked via a patch wire, then you will not be able to connect to it and will instead need to use an adapter for USB.
Pros
- Steel and all the trimmings. Price equates to value in this case. Especially when purchased on February 21st at the beginning of the month for 2022 Two-level keyboard backlighting; screen contrast and brightness I like the plastic carrying case. Excellent portability and sound quality for a notebook computer with 512GB of SSD storage and 16GB of RAM. Of course not a poppy, but dead center. I'm used to 13ke, so I'm surprised to learn that features like a cooling outlet for the screen, multitouch controls, and the standard set of navigation keys (home, end, page down, page up) are included. And since I can't see them, they're getting in the way, and I keep clicking on them by accident while trying to rely on the entire field of characters. Delete does not exist)) However, this is becoming increasingly automatic. Akum's labor time has been satisfactory, and the camera appears to be of adequate quality.
Cons
- - graphics processing unit (but context is key even here) -an extremely frail body. The worry of cracking it is palpable. This is quite annoying for me. (maybe) I own a second Chinese laptop with NoName (yepo) on the lid and bottom, but with thin plastic for the Touch and Klava buttons in the middle. It's where the lid's hinges connect to the lid. After a year of being torn out by the stem, I finally drilled through and bolted the hinges in place. But that didn't help either; things just snapped all over the place. I got it set up permanently now))) aahah.) Please don't let this happen in my hometown!) I'm sorry if I scared you too much. It is unknown how long the assembly in which the lid hinges are fixed will last due to the body's fragility. "-LUFT TACCHPADA! This model's biggest flaw is its rattling touchpad, which I find annoying while typing quickly. - the controls are on the right side. Yes, gentlemen, that's a mouse on my right hand. To the right, you'll find protruding USB flash drives and charging cables, headphones, an HDMI cable, and a Type-C adapter. Absolutely nothing useful can be gleaned from this! A flat flash drive and two lights make up the left-hand side. No purpose for the keyboard's backlight. Even in complete darkness, the screen's backlight makes the characters more legible than they would be without it. For the reason that silver reflects dark symbols. And they become indistinguishable from a lighted keyboard. + openings below the buttons for the diodes to light through. Only at a right angle from above is there a reasonable vantage point. So-so plastic keyboard. The nagging suspicion that the button paint will wear off at some point. -Klava is not very flexible, but it also doesn't stay in one place for long. Once again, plastic is to blame. The base connection of the case is conveniently located along the top edge. In other words, the slot where you may peel off the plastic to snap off the latches of the halves of the casing is staring you in the face if you open the laptop (which you have to do because of the touchpad). And if you do damage it, it will most likely be on the top where everyone can see it. In addition, the slot on top is yet another entry point for liquid in the event of a spill, alongside the keyboard. noise from the air conditioner Inability to charge through Type-C
Pros
- There is nothing comparable in terms of price and quality; the nearest neighbors are $50,000 to $55,000 higher. Excellent screen, very usable keyboard
Cons
- It makes a lot of noise and the construction is cheap, but considering the cost, complaining would be a sin.
Pros
- Affordable price
Cons
- Slow performance
Pros
- Storage: 32GB eMMC
Cons
- old
