    The trouble with HP is that they add sequences of letters and digits in an incomprehensible way to distinguish between models. And the models change so fast that it is very hard to find back specific modelnames on their websites after just a few months. They can learn a lot from Dell.

    Unfortunately a lot of lower end laptops and especially HP have an issue where the hinges are screwed into brass inserts, which in turn are fitted into plastic. After a couple of years of usage the plastic tends to crack and the hinges detach. So for less demanding use like Internet browsing and UA-cam it makes IMHO more sense to buy a refurbished business laptop instead.

    I have just bought it. My previous laptop is a Lenovo B5400 with 6gigs of ram and an i3-4000M at 2.4GHz (4th generation), still operable. So by all means this i3 laptop is an upgrade to me :) . Some games that I had in my wishlist on Steam are playable now and - from what I read - it can play GTA5 as well. The thing is that I like it's form factor. It's - relatively light, with big screen,it can run office and windows 11. It's okay for mediocre usage and to be honest I don't need something more.

      Funny you ask cause a few days back I purchased it on steam,in offer together with XCOM II. I installed it to confirm that it was playable. It is. The in-game benchmark test I tried showed me an average of 50 fps. I played the intro to see by myself how it goes and I was satisfied. After that,I uninstalled it cause I'm playing something else now and it needs 109GB of disk space. I'll reinstall it when I'm going to play it. Unfortunatelly I didn't play it for a long period of time to have opinion about temperature. I just wanted to be assured that is playable,and it is.@@BenSXD.

    Bought it yesterday, received it today, returning it tomorrow. Right speaker DoA. It's nice to see that they improved system features on commercial model and case durability at cost of post-production quality check. I could not test anything until every friggin driver was installed and at that moment once, I found one speaker is dead and other sounds blown; I thought "How the hell did this go through testing?". I felt like sucker punched; since till the last few drivers sound output was not available.

    Much kudos for mentioning the inevitable hinge issue.👏
    From someone that deals with repairs. I'm forever telling users to open their laptops from the center. Kinda miss old laptop designs that used a latch to encourage that process.
    For sure HP could do so much better in this area. hp = hinge problems.. Its well over due that they did 100% better in this part of design/build.
