I like it, thank you for the quality product.

Feedback on modification HP 15s-fq2022ur
Installing Win10 from a flash drive via USB3:
A very detailed instruction (step by step, with pictures) on how to install Win10 on a similar (11th gen) laptop is here:  if you do not speak bourgeois - use google translate, it will translate a page for you if you feed him a link to it.
The only thing that is not indicated in the installation article is that Win10 must be the latest edition, because. On versions prior to 20H2, I didn’t see any at all (and I tried a great many of them) from the drivers for the NVMe drivecomntroller! Don't worry, you will succeed, this problem has already been studied and solved, and the problem is not at all worth spending ~ 10 thousand for the same laptop model, but with Win10Home pre-installed for you!
 You need to enter the BIOS / UEFI like this: when thecommputer is turned off, press and hold ESC, turn it on,comntinue to hold ESC - and a menu drops out - there you already choose where to go!
Good luck!

Pros

Model: HP 15s-fq2022ur + Full-fledged 11th Gen Core i7 with the fastest performance per core - this provides a significant advantage in their respective tasks, and a laptop based on such cores is head and shoulders above all others. + The Iris XE video core with 96 (! ) execution units (instead of 80 for the i5-1135G7) will practically provide a performance level close to that of the MX350! + Good build quality (no backlash or rattling, nice plastic, no gaps and crevices, everything is tightly fitted) + Lightweight (exactly 1.6kg on the scales) + miniature power supply with wires for another 270g. + 512GB NVMe-SSD and 16GB dual-channel RAM onboard. + Pleasant two-level backlighting of the keyboard, pleasant key travel and the power button placed farther away. + FullHD IPS matte screen with excellent contrast and no glare. + FreeDOS/NoOS = this is an additional ~10000 discount for you! (There is a freshly discovered problem with installing Win10 on such (11th gen) devices, but we have already solved it and will tell you everything).

Cons

- A frankly disappointing (me personally) cooling system . this, of course, may not be critical for many, but at night you are unlikely to be able to fall asleep with a working laptop, on which something will be running or at which someone will sit . It would seem that a supertech-10nm process, energy efficiency is above the clouds . and at the peak of 90 + ° C on cores with throttling turned on (for a couple of seconds) - this, of course, is not the case . Also, I would describe the noise-whistling of this turbine is quite intense and not particularly comfortable, with the sound rather "Sh" rather than "Sh". - You won’t put Windu on this laptop right off the bat, if you don’t know certain nuances . - possibly missing Ethernet RJ-45 and Thunderbolt4 (there is an implementation in the processor, but not on the case) - neither laptop nor external devices can be charged via USB (no Power Delivery / QC) - I personally don't like "half" up/down buttons - The screen is clearly not 100% color gamut, some colors may appear faded - the BIOS looks . well . to put it mildly, out of date) but it's more of a nitpick, it copes with its function.
