There were problems with the order. Not all the goods I ordered were available. They split it into several orders and were not notified by mail. That's why you have to wait a long time for your order! The laptop works, but it came misfolded. The display case wasn't closed! Hub still hasn't arrived today. The mouse is very beautiful and comfortable. The glass and the phone case fit well.

The notebook (NTB) was well packed. Everything smelled new to me. I am satisfied with the service of alza so far. Installing Windows 10 OS is more complicated and I recommend less experienced users to buy Windows 10 OS with the NTB, unless they are Linux oriented IT users where it makes sense not to buy Windows 10/11 OS with the NTB.
Quality Intel Core i5 Tiger Lake
Sufficient memory 8 GB DDR4
Fast SSD drive approx. 500 GB
Good price/performance ratio
elegant appearance
quiet operation
good LCD display for work use
good for maintenance
the best NTB in the category from HP
few USB ports
drivers for the SSD must be downloaded from HP's website and some from Intel's website see. installing Windows 10
no built-in speakers
weaker battery, but enough for normal work, battery life is over 3 hours

I'm switching from a mid-range gaming PC to a laptop and I'm pleasantly surprised. For 9990Kč, the price/performance ratio is probably the best in this category. It has its downsides but for the price I am able to overlook them. Installing Windows is a bit more complicated but you can find plenty of tutorials.
Decent performance
Great price
Very quiet
Sufficient and fast storage
Lower battery life
The display could be of better quality
Few USB ports
I'd take 16GB RAM for a higher price (you risk losing your warranty by expanding it yourself)

month of use. I can say that this laptop is very weak. It doesn't even pull CS GO in Full HD, at a low setting of 30 fps. The screen is yellow, color reproduction is terrible. I took it purely for watching movies, but I didn't expect it to not be able to do CS either: GO.

I've had the laptop for less than a month. In the basic version it can handle a good percentage of games - of course with the right settings. The 512GB M.2 drive ensures that the PC boots up in the blink of an eye.
After checking the parameters and looking for details I bought https://www.alza.cz/kingston-fury-so-dimm-16gb-kit-ddr4-3200mhz-cl20-impact-d6632977. htm and https://www.alza.cz/seagate-barracuda-laptop-2tb-d4506214. htm, both work without a problem.
There are two RAM slots in the notebook, in the basic version equipped with one 8GB 3200MHz module. According to the manufacturer it can handle a maximum of 16GB, according to some information on the forums 32-64GB. Notebook oplyva necessary space for placement of 2.5" disk, but this model lacks the appropriate HW. After delivery of the PCB with the L52024-001 marking - and the corresponding booklet - it is possible to operate the supplied m.2 disk and the plotnak/ssd (tested in connection with the above mentioned barracuda, due to the SATA connections to the SSD I do not foresee a problem in this respect).
The 512GB M.2 drive is - again according to the manufacturer's specifications - upgradable to 1TB. Due to the height of the m.2 slots, it is not possible, apparently, to fit double-sided modules.
Due to the connections to the MB, respectively to the PCB with the wi-fi module, it is possible to operate the Solid State Drive (need to buy part no. L52026-001 - https://www.impactcomputers.com/image/cache/data/products/1/1043497-800x800. jpg), I also found a connection for a fingerprint reader, so if someone was able to get the proper HW and somehow took it out of the panel (or masochistically devastated his new PC by punching a proper hole), it can be assumed that it will be possible to use it here.
After upgrading to 16GB of RAM, Intel Iris XE graphics will take, according to system information, 8GB of memory. All in all, it can be a pleasant surprise - especially for integrated graphics. Of the games I've tried as bechmarking - Dying Light, Far Cry Primal (including high resolution textures), Surviving Mars, Endless Space, Alien Isolation, State of Decay (1,2) at max. Skyrim on max without HD textures. JWE 1.2 at high detail with shadow reduction. All in FullHD. It should be able to handle Division and Enchantment already in the base version, but before the upgrade to 16GB RAM it had problems with 4X games and RTS.
Overall great satisfaction with performance and speed. Especially pleasant surprise brought the laptop due to the fact that it was not used for games (with regard to the absence of dedicated graphics). Upgradability and some modularity is a nice bonus.
As for the negatives:
I would welcome some hardening of the display part. Due to the construction it looks quite fragile and according to information from various reviews it suffers from ghosting. The disassembly of the notebook is - after unscrewing the seven screws - about careful unscrewing in order to separate the HW part from the cover segment of the chassis, which drive or later brings breaking out some of the plastic mini-trays. Overall, it is a construction of quite soft plastic, so I would recommend to consider buying some hardshell, or padded case for carrying.
To install Windows, it is necessary to download and add the appropriate disk drivers to the installation (https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/19512/intel-rapid-storage-technology-driver-installation-software-with-intel-optane-memory-10th-and-11th-gen-platforms. html). More inexperienced users might be put off by this, but it is a very trivial thing.
Here it is. pdf with specifications and options - https://www8.hp.com/h20195/v2/GetDocument. aspx? docname=c06913991
Relatively wide upgrade options
It is difficult to put confidence in the strength of the display design

Disaster
nice price
price-performance ratio
a nootebook for nice money is fine, but I brought the nootebook home (I bought it with free dos. ) I wanted to install the operating system and it kept saying there was no drive to install it on. so diagnostics, test, showed that either there is no ssd drive at all or it is not working. so the computer's on the first day of purchase and immediately on claim. really cool.
