   Very simple and functional yet it has all of the essentials without any of the gimmicky frills. Maybe it takes a $300 laptop so I don’t have to deal with built in Alexa-enabled something, HP-specific ports, fingerprint scanner, and other stuff I don’t want or need. They don’t try anything fancy with this one which for me is a positive. Plus it’s TKL keyboard which really should be the new norm. Does not have a backlit keyboard which is a slight miss but for the price it’s not a huge deal.

   You can take it out of S-mode easily and remove a lot of the addons and you have yourself a perfectly functional Windows machine. Despite the lower-tier hardware it still starts up very quickly if you make sure you don’t have too much bloatware. Sure it’s a little slow at times but if you’re using it for day to day tasks it should be fine. Battery life seems very good, the laptop is also fairly lightweight as well. What more could you ask for at this price point.

   Update: Revised review to 4 stars from 1. If you’re lured to these by an Amazon flash offer, and begin to compare other options/offers, be sure to throughly compare the descriptions. Or you’ll purchase something you didn’t want. If you find this out after you set everything up and there is no problem with the computer itself, you’re stuck with it. The other issue I had was the inability to exit Win 11 S mode. After hours of trying the standard method and several youtube videos with complex work arounds, I gave up. Today I decided to express my feelings in the MS Edge search window and I received this response from Copilot. (posted in the picture above). I post because subsequent requests produced different results. This work around worked quickly and was a three step fix. Have exited S mode and am happily running Google Chrome. Plus all my Google info and files from my broken laptop ported over. One last note: this is definitely a computer for students. It is priced reasonably considering post Covid greedflation prices. It is comparetively slow and not for use use for gamers. I will keep it as I need a computer for research and writing papers.

   5/30/2024-My laptop broke. Needed to complete paperwork for a project with tight time lured by “Deal” for laptop with 4GB ram 64 storage Bluetooth, Wi-Fi. $169, 12hr delivery. I figure it was good enough to get my work done. At the site several other options were available with the same features and more memory. All had delivery dates of 1=2 days except 1 with 8GB ram, 192GB storage for $259 w/ $40 coupon, Thought extra memory and storage was worth extra $90. Computer arrived. It took an 1-1/2 hr to do updates. When I tried to download Chrome to work in Google docs {state recommended for changes}. This computer is locked into MS S mode blocking download of apps not in MS store. After spending 2hrs trying different S mode exit directions is was resolved to doing the work on my Samsung S20 which took 3 hours to do 1 hr of work. This computer doesn’t have Bluetooth, is extremely slow. MS locks y into using Edge in a worse case scenario than they did with Explorer 25 yrs ago. Don’t be lured by the free1yr of Home 365. Cannot return because I used it and is technically not broken. HP is obviously returning to the days of cheap low-grade Compaq. Clearest example of Greedflation. It also moved data from broken laptop creating what will be hours of scrubbing to sell at 1/2 price on Ebay.

   This is the second one I’ve bought. The first was to donate for our local kid STEM Lego League group. I liked it so much I got another one for me to use in meetings. I gave up on laptops some time ago, no meetings, using a real PC for sw development. But, ever increasing meetings, so this is the perfect solution.
   It isn’t any speed demon, it uses an obsolete Intel Celerion N series processor, has no way to add more internal storage other than the 64G eMMC. But, with 16G of memory, it is actually surprisingly responsive. It’s still supported by HP, it’s brand new, just discontinued. I don’t love the small screen, but it is a 14″ screen, so I’ll live with it. Comes with Win 11 and surprisingly it’s quite responsive running it. Do be aware that it ships with the idiotic S mode Win 11 that locks you to the MS store and such. But, other reviews notwithstanding, follow the unlock directions, no issue at all going to full W 11. It doesn’t even have too much of the usual preloaded bloatware. The usual McAfee trash, a bunch of HP ‘tools’, and a lot of the usual MS garbage. It does come with Office, if you care. I only need Excel, so this is a slight benefit. For $250, this is a no-brainer if you just need something portable for email, spreadsheets, etc.

   This is the perfect laptop for me. Easy to set up. I just need it to search jobs & use word to update my resume. Got it for great value on Prime Day so worth the little money I paid. I didn’t want or need an expensive laptop. Plus it’s lightweight.
