Great video Shahpar! Thanks for unpacking complex terms with easy-to-grasp concepts that everyday users can understand and relate with.

[@SoulOfTech]

Glad it was helpful!

[@dalgomswife3830]

I just bought this laptop. I got the new version of it. It works well. The display is alright, and as a student who is only using this laptop for casual and note taking purposes, this laptop is great. I got the tilt pen stylus from hp with it, and that works amazingly. The only issue I currently am noticing is that the laptop gets hot even after using it normally for 3 hours? Overall, I think this laptop is great for people who are planning to use it for casual, work and school purposes. Works well for those.

[@trevorwallace7360]

Hp is great if you have an issue with one of their products purchase online directly from them. They mentioned the screen wasn't the best, then they should have ordered from the website and paid to upgrade the screen. They can only give you such quality components at user friendly costs and if they made all of their laptops with top specs most wouldn't be able to afford them. For the cost, longevity, and customizability I think hp is unparalleled in the PC/laptop prebuilt game.

[@Astralfort]

Have a similar design HP laptop (an Envy model) and the keyboard is great, gotta say. Researching this laptop for my brother right now and I gotta say, if the keys are any similar, they're great for laptop standards. Also watching your temperature tests, it seems they improved this a lot. My version has a 10W MX250 and gets almost painfully hot to the touch, especially if also charging.

[@cc_435]

@@SoulOfTech thank you, I bought it the day before yesterday (the laptop) and the left trackpad had a slight dip in it and I had to press further down to actually click and had an uncomfortable feeling to it. Now it has to be shipped over from jb hi fi to a hp store where they can determine whether it is faulty or not. The assistant said it would take around 2-3 weeks depending on shipping. Shipping in Australia pretty slow, I bought smth and they said in two weeks they would be able to ship it, and it ended up taking 4 months. Pretty unhappy with the long wait cuz I have a test coming up in a month and my old laptop has no SSD and it's Ryzen 3. Kept freezing and disconnected completely form the trial test server.
