Product Manuals
A: Laptops are mobile. Therefore they use smaller, weaker processors. If you tried to put a full sized desktop in a laptop you would have a bad time. You can identify the type of processor by the suffix at the end. Ultrabooks tend to have "U" at the the end of the processor, which stands for "Ultra low power", or "Ultraportable" or whatever. That means they consume less power to maximize battery life. That isn't important with desktops, like "K" or "T" which maximize performance. Gaming laptops that need more more power might have an intel processor with a suffix of "HQ" or "HK", the latter really only appearing on the biggest behemoths
A: I had the same problem, the laptop sounded like a plane taking off and I was about to return the laptop. I updated the BIOS using HP support Assistant, turned off the laptop till it cooled down and powered up again. Since then I have not get any fan noise.
Q: Does this have an HDMI out? How do you connect to an external screen (for presentations etc)?
A: No, it doesn't have an HDMI out. You'd want a HDMI to USB-C adapter and use the USB-C ports.
A: Yes it comes with pen
Q: are there any similar models that have a cd/dvd drive?
A: This product is not available with a CD drive. Similar models by HP do not have a drive either.
A: I've had no such issues with my machine, but I also took a few steps to make sure this won't happen: 1. Updated all drivers and BIOS to latest version. HP has an automatic system to do this. 2. Remove McAfee 3. Switch the slow Synaptics touchpad for a Precision driver. You can find instructions for this online.
Q: This is an Intel Core i7 8th Generation right? Because it does not specify
A: Yes, this sports the late 2017 Intel Core i7 8th gen processor. Product page states the following: "8th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-8550U mobile processor Ultra-low-voltage platform. Quad-core, eight-way processing provides maximum high-efficiency power to go. Intel Turbo Boost Technology delivers dynamic extra power when you need it."
Q: Which version of Windows 10? The specs only lists Windows 10.
A: This PC comes with Windows 10 Home.
