Revainrating 3 out of 5

HP is made in China. Mediocre but works.

Good performance. Pesky HP viruses. I bought it for video editing, it does a great job. Fast loading. Decent keyboard. Paired with a Logitech M585 bluetooth mouse which works fine (only 2 regular USB ports). My main complaint is the misleading USB-C port. Yes, it will connect and charge my phone, but any $3 adapter from the hardware store will do the trick! I bought a USC-C HDMI cable to support a third monitor. Useless. NO indication via USC-C, only data or loading. I've been buying HP for decades, but it's just mediocre "Made in China" crap that I wouldn't buy if I knew. The final test will be connecting to a 4k/3820dpi monitor via the HDMI port. If he can't, Ebay will "crash" the computer. There is no DVD player/recorder but they are $25 at Walmart for a good working LG/USB. Windows 10 doesn't have DVD movie playback software, so look for it. Price? 3 times the price of any laptop I've ever bought as I like desktops for a REAL computer. Fast enough. hope it lasts Apparently laptops are in short supply this year. it's better than most, but it's still a compromise.

Pros
  • Older notebooks
Cons
  • No auto mode
