I've had this laptop for a few months now. I originally purchased it for msrp price at best buy. Compared to the predecessor (stolen), this laptop has an inferior keyboard and it feels heavier because they made the body size smaller. It has been improved over the prior generation due to the privacy switch and fingerprint sensor, which is very useful.The issue that I am having is that the touch screen has been registering ghost touches, which has been so extreme as to make the laptop inoperable unless you disable it. I have owned another hp laptop that had a seperate display issue, leading me to believe that the display technology at hp is lacking. I am very dissapointed that a laptop that I spent nearly $600 on with taxes is already starting to have issues. I was a huge fan of the last generation of this laptop, which had a friendlier 2 tone design that felt lighter in the hand and didn't have any technical issues. I wouldn't recommend this laptop.
