If you don't want to compromise on a laptop, this is for you.
I owned an older HP Envy laptop 8 years ago and swore I'd never buy an HP laptop again but once I was hunting for a new laptop that could meet all my very specific needs and reading all the reviews on laptop comparisons, I decided to give HP another shot. I'm very glad I did. It's worked just about flawlessly.
Pros:
- The screen is great, touch is very accurate
- Battery life can last 8 or so hours watching video
- Quality is absolutely there
- The trackpad is amazing, love the size and feel of it and it simply works great
- Still runs very snappy and quietly
- Tablet mode/ tent mode is great when I'm in bed or watching something on a plane/train
- The speakers sound good for a laptop
- The keyboard feels nice to type on and I'm a mechanical keyboard snob. Quality is also there
- It's light enough to travel with easily
Cons:
- Multi-touch gestures work but for browsing no two-finger swipe to go back and forth on web pages
- Can't adjust the brightness of the backlit keyboard so at night when you're watching something in bed it's just too much
- Only one USB 3.0, while not terrible, it'd be nice to have one more
- Once in a blue moon, I'll my screen glitching out. A restart usually stops the issue. Happens maybe once every 3 months or so IDK whats causing it.
