HP 255 G10 Business Laptop, AMD Ryzen 7 7730U Processor, 24GB RAM, 512GB SSD, 15.6" FHD LED Display, Numeric Keypad, Wi-Fi 6, HDMI Port, Windows 11 Pro

The laptop arrives well packages in a sleek black box with a handle. Even receiving it was a positive addition to the experience. Unboxing was easy and setup trouble free. You have the option of a voice guided setup or a do it yourself route for those more tech friendly. I'd say our family is of the tech friendly category but we used the voice guided method because it was fun. The display is crystal clear. The sharpness and vibrant color display is like none I've seen. The device is fully setup and connected to WiFi in minutes. The processing speed is really fast. We transitioned from files to web, etc.. with no delays. The backlit keyboard is set up well. I can be picky about the placement of the keys, especially if the cause me to do something I don't want to. There were no issues at all with keys not in ideal spots. The laptop itself is very attractive and super thin. I loved that the screen can fold back to tuck under the keyboard when using in touch screen mode. Memory could be a little large but can be easily rectified with an SD card or by using the cloud. I am very pleased with the HP Envy. I highly recommend this laptop to those wanting to upgrade, starting out new or giving as a gift.

Converting me to an HP laptop; there are some great features with this Envy line. This, like my previous laptop is a convertible. That means I can have it in one of three positions. Clam shell (laptop), Tent (movie watching), & as a tablet (reading). This computer does exceptionally well at all three. If you're looking for a strong & fast computer for work or school this model of the Envy line is a great choice for you. There are plenty of apps & games that work great with this. I too have my personal favorites. It's ready to go out of the box. Though this is pretty heavy for a tablet, at 4.6 pounds, it sure has some room. I would like it to be lighter. Not that four pounds is heavy, just not something you want to hold on a long day. I can nearly view a whole "sheet" of paper in one of the many text editors. That is fantastic when you're trying to do reports or make spread sheets on the fly. Heck, even as an E-Reader this is large. The images & text are clear & bright. I can write notes on them, or insert them in normally. This laptop has some great features. The Bang & Olufsen speakers are an awesome addition. Nice & clean. The microphone picks up whispers, making real time communication (VOLP) a real pleasure. It has a headphone jack if you want to keep it more quiet. The fingerprint scanner is nice, I just have to get used to sliding my clean finger properly the way it wants me to; good thing there is a pin back up. The large print back lit keyboard is right there for you to clearly see in low light or bright sunshine. It's (nearly) a full size keyboard, with a number pad & positioning arrows. The keys are a pleasure to type with too. I am writing this review on the computer, & it's super smooth. I'm not going to bother people with noisy clicking, as these keys are quiet. They aren't silent, that's another type, just quiet. Streaming on this is flawless! I am surprised that with it clocking in at 1.8 Ghz, this laptop really flies. I want to keep using it, because it is such a pleasure to use. The Bluetooth on this computer is fantastic & ultra super fast. I have been swapping files between my phone, my wifi router & tower computer while writing this review. The small files under a gig, were done before I could flip back to this text editor. That's speed for a computer, let alone blue tooth! Quick access, easy on & off, a decent battery life; these are all things that make this computer stand above other ones. Having the power button tucked in & needing to be pushed & held is a great feature if you've ever bumped your power off. The touch pad is very nice, offset to the left so there is less of a chance bumping it while typing. The USB ports are snug but not tight. The HDMI outlet projects very well & quite clearly. As with any new computer, you can set up the second monitor (TV) to be as large or as small as you like; also. Eight gigs of RAM allows me to edit videos, & super huge images with out the computer choking or stalling. The 512 gig SSD drive has the computer booted & ready to go instantly, with plenty of space to add software & files. It doesn't run hot, so you can slip it into a bag or sleeve & not have those concerns. The clam shell hinges are solid & very fluid. The lid stays in place & doesn't bounce around like some others can. The touchscreen is magnificent & very precise. You can draw on it quite easily.
