The item is of good quality, there is only one minor defect.

Responses to alterations The HP 15s-fq2022ur Using a USB3 flash drive to install Windows 10: If you don't speak bourgeois, use Google Translate; the service will translate a page for you if you feed it a link, and it provides very clear instructions (step by step, with illustrations) on how to install Windows 10 on a comparable (11th gen) machine. The latest version of Windows 10 is required, but this is not stated in the installation guide. None at all from the NVMe drivecomntroller drivers on versions prior to 20H2 (and I tried several)! It's not worth paying 10,000 on the same laptop model, but with Win10Home pre-installed for you, because the problem has already been examined and fixed. You can access the BIOS / UEFI by following these steps: with the computer powered off, press and hold ESC; when it boots up, continue holding ESC; and a menu will appear from which you can select your desired action. Have fun!

Pros
  • A laptop based on such cores is far superior to others, and the HP 15s-fq2022ur is a prime example of this. + Full-fledged 11th Gen Core i7 with the fastest performance per core. With 96 (!) execution units, the Iris XE video core (compared to the i5-1135G7's 80) will deliver nearly as much performance as the MX350. There is no backlash or rattling, the plastic is high-quality, and there are no cracks or other imperfections in the assembly. Plus, it's light (the scales read exactly 1.6 kg) and comes with a tiny power supply and cables that weigh only about 270 g more. Features a 512GB NVMe-SSD and 16GB of dual-channel RAM, as well as a backlit keyboard with two brightness settings, smooth key travel, and a power button that is slightly offset. You save an extra 10000 because it has a FullHD IPS matte screen with superb contrast and no glare and runs on FreeDOS or NoOS. (We will provide our secret solution to the recently identified issue of installing Windows 10 on such (11th generation) devices.
Cons
  • Personally, I was dissatisfied with the cooling system. I realize this isn't a deal breaker for some, but if your laptop is on and you have stuff running or someone sitting in front of it, you probably won't be able to get much shut-eye. Energy efficiency appears to be over the roof with a super-tech 10nm technique. Obviously, this is not the case when throttling is activated (for only a few seconds) at the top of 90+ °C on cores. Moreover, I'd say the turbine's whistling noise is rather "Sh" than "Sh," describing it as strong and unsettling. - If you are unfamiliar with specific details, you will not immediately install Windu on this laptop. - Thunderbolt4 and Ethernet RJ-45 might not be present (the processor supports them, but the enclosure doesn't). There is no way to power a laptop or other device from an external USB port (no Power Delivery / QC). My preference is not for "half" up/down switches. Although some colors on the screen may look duller than they actually are since the BIOS is, shall we say, a bit dated, it serves its purpose.
