This is a great computer that is great for a student or professional. It doesn’t disappoint in performance, thermals and noice.

For the price, you simply cannot find a better machine. It’s quick, light, and has all the things you’re looking for if you need a new laptop.

More like 4.5 stars. Been a very capable PC so far. I run Ubuntu 20.04 and for the most part it’s been decent. The 1/2 star is due to AMD Renior GPU startup issues I have during boot. It’s probably some combination of cpu/gpu, the HP bios maybe UEFI and the linux kernel, but the GPU is failing to initialize (most times) during boot. I’ve owned the HP for 3+ months and it is still not addressed or specifically mentioned by HP or any linux topics specifically. My current work around is to keep a few kernels hanging out, and shuffle to another kernel, older or newer when it fails (a blank screen and nothingness) and hope for the best when rebooting. Otherwise, I’ve been avoiding reboot. The more challenging part is that I can’t get a clear reason it is failing to load from /var/log/. I’d like to hear of anyone else with this same setup and issue and what was done to fix it.

Needed new laptop. Must have items were 13-14 inch 1080P screen (not touch), backlit keyboard, SD card slot, HDMI out, space for additional hard drive, 16 GB RAM and USB C connection. For $780 this can not be matched. You must remove the entire bottom to access the extra drive slot – not too difficult No additional hard drive mounting bracket is needed to install the second drive. Does not run too warm. Highly recommended.
