A:AnswerThe battery is not accessible without taking the laptop apart. If you needed to replace the battery it would be possible to do so, but it's designed not to need a new battery.
A:AnswerThis laptop does not have covers available from HP, as with most laptops, there may be third party options available for keyboard and laptop covers.
A:AnswerThe fans will run at varying speeds depending on how much heat needs to be expelled. When you charge the laptop there is also some heat generated from the battery.
A:AnswerUnfortunately, this computer only comes with a short trial of Office (including Word and Excel). In order to continue using Word and Excel, you will need to purchase either Office 365 or Office 2019.
A:AnswerWe always recommend cross-referencing the system requirements of your preferred games to make sure that they align with the computer you're looking at. From what we can see, while this laptop checks off a lot of boxes regarding processing capability, storage, and memory, it lacks adequate video-ram (dedicated graphics) to handle the game smoothly. You could potentially run at lower graphics settings, but ultimately we would recommend a system that has dedicated graphics--consider checking out our Pavilion Gaming and OMEN laptops!
A:AnswerYou need at least Intel i5 or Ryzen 5 processor or better with 8 GB or 16 GB of RAM and a discrete graphics card with 2 gigabytes or more of video memory to run the Adobe programs. They are big programs that require a lot of processing power to run.

A:AnswerI've had this laptop for about a month and I've liked it so far. Working on general business stuff, streaming some videos and building projects through Adobe Cloud products. No issues so far. Battery holds up (but - it's only been a month so...). No, no fingerprint reader on this model.
