I really liked the 500 nits display and 64 gb ram (for virtualization/wsl), the performance was noticeable, the processing and weight was impressive. I tried with win 11 pro. Installation was seamless (via LAN in usb dock), drivers were found automatically. Battery life for my needs would be about 4-5 hours (brightness 0.5h 100%, 1.5h 75%, 2h 50%, continuous light load). Without the load and with the screen dimmed, it would probably be longer. With the touchpad, I sometimes had the feeling that it does not respond accurately (during slow movements). The laptop can be completely silent, but for me it would like to tune the fans, although they are not very loud, they run more often and maybe only for a second, and personally I did not like their sound (in a quiet room; it would probably be a habit). Sometimes the frequency of the sound also fluctuated rapidly. It could be almost completely silenced by significantly limiting the cpu power. I ran into a problem with hp services. Slow shutdown (30s timeout) was caused by HP Audio Analytics Service (disabling it helped). 1x HP Hotkey UWP service was putting a lot of load on my processor. I had a problem watching videos in browsers, probably a driver problem, tried with both hp and amd. In ff the problem was that the playback was stuck and all windows were white (then ff switched to sw rendering or reduced the video resolution to 480p), in edgi I think the problem was manifested by a black window for a change. The problem was addressed on the internet (with 7840hs, it was not hp). I have the main monitor connected via usb-c (according to the internet, this could increase the frequency of the problem) and the problem was more pronounced under heavier loads (e.g. multiple 4k videos running simultaneously). Wlan is from mediatek, it doesn't work with quick share (only supports intel).

After the initial problem with the installation of Windows 11 Pro, I can only say positive information. For everyday work, the performance is excellent. Processing at a high level. The laptop is compact and the weight doesn't bother me when constantly carrying it around. I was pleasantly surprised at the price this configuration sells for, but only until Alza made it 1500 CZK more expensive. As I wrote, I can only recommend this laptop so far. It's not for playing demanding games, but that's what other configurations are bought for.
Quality workmanship and high performance
Superior warranty
Decent battery life
Even after the problems with the installation of Windows 11 Pro, I can recommend this laptop
The version without the operating system is only for very experienced users. It took me half a day to install, due to not displaying available WiFi networks. Fortunately, it's difficult to solve. I can give some advice

In today's modern age, when you can fit so much power into a mobile device, a laptop is a big advantage and I've started to enjoy that fact. I've had my laptop for a few months and switched from Desktop. By default, I use my laptop 95% of the time plugged into peripherals like the dock. My laptop is used for all my work. It is not logically used for gaming, and I don't even perform music making on it, because at higher power you can hear the cooling that would disturb the necessary quietness of such activity. I use a classic mouse, external keyboard, dock (usb-c) and some other peripherals such as. ext. sound system, etc. I'm displaying externally on a Gigabyte 4K 144Hz monitor and have it connected directly from my laptop via usb-c in thunderbolt mode due to the 120Hz refresh rate (the max that works for me), which docks in 4K don't normally handle. From experience and testing, docking stations generally prefer two 4K monitors at 60Hz rather than one at 120Hz, which I can understand for office work reasons. However, having 120Hz is already considered a good standard. For this reason, I have both usb-c permanently filled thanks to the dock and monitor. The laptop itself has a nice and practical design, the keyboard is not bad. I'm a bit sorry about the cursor arrows and their connection with page up/down keys, which is a bit inconvenient for example when writing code, but it can be switched with third party software e.g. after home/end in the top row and it makes more sense. The touchpad is excellent and the gestures in Windows are great. He can handle one, two, three and even four fingers and it's very addictive. Functional keys, all standard. This model does not allow locking the FN directly from the keyboard (probably a model limitation, that's a bit sad). It is necessary to set in bios either to hold FN for function keys or vice versa for F1-F2. The sound sounds good for a laptop and has a nice stereo.
Camera quality. I use bitlocker of course + the bios from HP has a lot of protections, which is only pleasing. I recommend turning it on when you have the overall tuning you want. The screen is color-shifted by default, so reducing the colors helped. Graphics is AMD Pro Software, so you can set everything up. It can handle games too, but you'll pay for it by firing up your laptop, of course. The cooling (fan) has a strange sound, but for me it is not disturbing. A rustling that can be accepted even at rest. If a thread for even one cpu gets stuck somewhere, the fan immediately echoes with a loud hum. But that's AMD's overall concept. There is a bit of a disadvantage in that when the laptop is closed, it practically covers most of the exhaust, which is located between the body and the lid in that gap. It is better to keep the laptop open on the dock for cooling. At the same time, it is a good idea to reduce the minimum cpu to 5% in the power settings, even with mains power. The laptop does not heat up unnecessarily. If you're using the laptop on its own, it doesn't tend to go up in temperature as much, but if you're connected to a 4K monitor and a higher frequency, you may already experience more frequent instances of overheating, so it's a good idea to minimize the pursuit of high performance for quiet work. In case of a request, it will shoot the power immediately to the upper limit of its capabilities. I've been with the laptop for a while off the dock as well and the work has been very enjoyable. For a slightly higher price, I got a device that fully replaced my desktop system for daily work deployment both in the office and on the road.
