HP 17.3" Essential Business Laptop - HD+ 250nits Display, Intel Core i5-1334U, 16GB RAM, 512GB, Fingerprint Reader, Windows 11 Pro, Rose Gold

Speed, performance, cooling everything Amazing. Speakers and microphones are better then my iphone 15 pro max! Single caveat is the keyboard with no Numpad and extra macro keys which takes a getting use to.

I purchased the laptop a month ago and I am quite happy with it so far. Things I like: - Powerful CPU and GPU, with possibility to undervolt CPU or increase power consumtion for performance. - Fans are silent enough, not louder than other models with similar components and only performance mode gets noisier. I have not yet tried during summer time but I was surprised by how silent it is when playing games on balance mode. - Fan curve can be manually changed to silent for low temperatures (not for Eco mode) - Easy to upgrade, I've added a second SSD and I have upgraded RAM quite easily. Support is helpful and easy to contact if needed. - Screen is actually really good, but it needs some settings adjustments on Intel Graphic Command center to get the best out of it (contrast and brightness). - It support Power Delivery 3.0 (max 100W) via the Thunderbolt USB-C port (it will run in eco mode). It's great for portability considering that the provided charger is quite big. - Perfect dimentions for a 17'' models with those components. Mini display port and SD card reader are a great addition. - When first received, Windows is with BitLocker encryption. Not sure if it will staywhen reinstalling but I think it's great. Things that could be improved: - It's not possible to change fan curve on Eco mode so it is noisier than it can when in low usage (for example if just leaving it to download a game). I tend to leave it on Balance mode with manual curve. - The P* side buttons are quite pointless and they get in the way. You can't really use them much because macro settings give you little possibilities. For example you can't assign it to open a software or change Gaming Hub profiles. You can't either set the buttons to be pressed and released when button actually released because it needs a sequence with defined delays. - In order to change Gaming hub profiles you have to open the gaming hub app every time and manually select the profile you want to switch (no shortcut or notification icon on menu bar for quick access). - Gaming hub and RGB keyboard color settings are not the easiest to use when wanting to set the keys to be less bright. Anyway, I am quite satisfied with the purchase and I hope that those small things will be improved over time.
