HP Pavilion 15.6\" FHD Laptop, AMD Ryzen 5-5500U, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD, Horizon Blue, Windows 11,15-eh1052wm

I'll start with my only complaint: the battery life. I've tried both battery settings of "balanced" and "performance" and both drain the battery pretty quickly as compared to other laptops I've used. I'm estimating around 4-6 hours of constant use if running off battery power alone. This could be an underestimate as I rarely run the battery beyond 50%, but it definitely isn't going to last you an entire day of non-stop computing without a charge. Battery life isn't a huge deal to me as I'm an at home user 99% of the time. The overwhelming positive: Great laptop in general. I bought mine 11/2020 for black Friday and it was $400 with tax. I had an HP i7 with similar specs bought in 2018 which got lost/stolen, this Ryzen 5 processor is probably slightly faster than that i7 was. Keyboard nice, shallow, snappy. The keys can be hard to read in sunlight but that's not a huge deal. Screen better than average with acceptable brightness. Otherwise, I'm not sure why anyone would buy an expensive laptop now adays when you can get numerous windows offerings for sub $600 (and much less if black friday). This blue HP is probably the best computer I've ever owned in terms of dependability and performance.
