I am completely satisfied, item complies with description.

I decided to get a kid a laptop for school and to teach him programming. After reading the article, I changed my mind about wanting a tiny desktop in favor of a laptop because the overall cost of the equipment would not be significantly different. It is convenient when keyboards, touchpads, and other devices operate in a consistent manner; you become accustomed to the key layout and other movements. HP was chosen because the HP laptop family includes other HP laptops. Also, a significant benefit, the power supply are interoperable. IPS, a reasonably capable processor, memory, and disk were among the attributes, in theory. In this price range, HP only offers IPS up to 30. (plus or minus a couple of thousand). Benchmark results place Intel Pentium Gold 7505 as the top processor in this category, followed by AMD Athlon Gold 3150U and Intel Core i3 Tipi 10110U. RAM needed at least eight. The SSD in this model was 500, which is twice as much as other models at the same price. I examined the manufacturer's website beforehand and was aware there was no keyboard backlight. Not really important, but not very pleasant. Every HP models' keyboard backlighting, even the priciest ones, is, nevertheless, only mediocre. Although it promised more time wasted, the absence of Windows pre-installed on the device did not annoy. The final decision was influenced by an SSD disk that was twice as big as other competitors in this price range. The same could not be found, and the body of this one turned out to be really pleasant, corrugated, and not cheap plastic, despite the considerable time spent looking for "the same but white." The laptop was already at home without issues three hours after the order, and claims (thanks to the seller). As there was just DOS accessible, I was unable to thoroughly examine the pixels because I didn't have enough time to prepare (and the manager, when ordering, as always, offered additional paid services, including checking dead pixels, which I, as always, refused). There were none broken, though, and everything functions as it should. To get the touchpad, wifi adapter, and other devices to function after installing Windows, I had to manually download each driver from the HP website and execute it one at a time. The term "14s-dq2022" was used in my search for drivers.

Pros
  • Suitable balancing of cost and quality pleasant body texture The most potent processor available for the price range IPS much memory and large SDD
Cons
  • missing keyboard backlight when installing Windows 10, the touchpad and WiFi drivers are missing.
