This was my first big purchase on a laptop I thought by going for one priced at over $1,000 that it would be a solid pc for years to come. I've had this for a little over one year now and firstly I thought that 512 GB of internal storage would be plenty but I was wrong since over 25% of it is taken up by windows and pre installed HP software all of which can not be removed and still have the laptop function as a laptop is supposed to do so I'd recommend getting at least 1 TB of internal storage and I wish I could tell the old me that and save myself alot of headache and avoid carrying a handful of USB drives of backed up data. It also claims to have USB 3 ports but moving data is a chore because it takes literally hours to move large amounts of data around because of how slowly it reads and writes data. Then about 6 months ago the fingerprint scanner just quit working one day. I've spent hours in chat rooms and talking with HP customer service (THEY WILL PROVIDE ABSOLUTELY ZERO HELP SO DON'T EVEN BOTHER WITH THEM) and nothing I've tried has gotten it to work again. The laptop does a great job quickly opening apps and internet pages and other basic tasks and the screen though is absolutely fantastic however it can't display Dolby Vision and none of the major (or minor for that matter) streaming services will stream in 4k but that's a them problem not an HP problem. They say their mobile apps have a maximum streaming of 1080p and only display 4k on TV's and video game consoles (like that makes any sense). The keyboard can be kinda finicky and sometimes when I'm typing a window will pop up that asks me if I want to turn sticky keys on (I don't know what that is or what it does I haven't investigated it I just close the window whenever it pops up) and that gets to be pretty annoying pretty quickly. My main use for this laptop is for school and for that purpose it performs fantastically. I really went all out on this purchase and I have to say that I really regret it. It's not worth the $1,100 I paid for it since most of the price is is comprised of the 4k screen and since it's not truly compatible with the streaming services and there is no DVD or CD drive it can't really be used and everything else that this laptop can do a laptop half the price can easily do. I'd say to save your money and buy a cheaper laptop. You will be happier in the long run and won't miss out on anything.
