I prefer to write short reviews, so I will try to keep things short, but there's alot to cover. So the TLDR version is: Good battery work laptop, ok at youtube/netflix, no gaming.
Firstly, this is a simple laptop to accomplish simple tasks. It's light, it has low storage space low memory intentionally to keep things economical. So don't expect this to be running any video games or video editing
When you first turn it on and start up, it's going to take about 2 hours. My gigabit wifi, I was able to download all the updates in about 20 minutes, but after initial update, there's more updates, and with the amount of updates, it'll take a while. Wished it came with a more updated Windows, but it's pretty standard in the industry, it's fine. Just know it'll take about 2 hours.
Once you're up and running, the first thing I notice is the color / contrast of the screen. You can watch movies or youtube videos, but you're not going to get cinema grade reproductions here. Which is fine, but just know that's what you're getting. The contrast is mediocre at best, poor blacks and grey transitions. This coupled with the 1366x768 resolution 60hz refresh rate, this is a document/excel machine, with a touch of AI, not a cinema.
Immediately, noticeable also is the speed of the computer. It's a laptop, so saving on power/speed is versatile to keep the laptop going, but it can bother some people. I think the stuttering bothered me a little bit, and although it voids your warranty, if you're comfortable this does have a user upgradeable memory. I had an 8gb DDR4 module laying around so I opened it up and immediately felt an improvement, but still stutters every once in a while. I included a photo of the layout if anyone needs to use it as reference. The case is easy to remove, just follow some guides.
Speaker wise, nothing noteworthy, it's simple, enough to get the job done.
Having the negatives out of the way, there are a few things I do appreciate on this guy. The battery life, out of the box (the power management settings, the brightness, etc, I left it the way it is) I was able to get 10 hours of use, give or take. I didn't hold a watch to it but I was able to get through a work day and then a few hours after work with this laptop. The machine is light, easy to carry, easy trackpad to work with, with a little AI button to top it off.
I would recommend this to a friend if they knew they were getting a work laptop.

I love this laptop, it doesn’t have all the internal storage I need but overall for what it’s worth I have no complaints and would purchase it over again!

I hate this laptop with ever fiber of my being, I only needed it to be able to connect to my printer and print off papers otherwise I hate it, super slow no matter what I do and it was brand new! I’m very disappointed in this HP laptop and wish I never bought this computer I could I paid a bill instead!
