  1. Q4 202655/1003.5★4 reviews

    Buyers in this period had mixed experiences: one praised performance and display, another found build quality cheap with keyboard and sleep issues, while a third reported printer scanning problems and a fourth severe cursor and typing glitches.

    • Cursor jumps, phantom letters, disappearing text, and auto-drafting make emailing frustrating and time-consuming.
    • Performance is generally fine, but build quality feels cheap, keyboard letters are hard to see, and sleep mode requires full restart.
    • Large screen and ease of use are praised for university and business tasks; overall reliable and recommended.
    • HP printer scanning often requires multiple retries before a successful scan.
  2. Q3 202617/1001.7★3 reviews

    Buyers in this period reported serious flaws: unreadable keys in low light, no backlighting, slow performance, flimsy build, and frequent restarts disrupting work.

    • Laptop restarts every few minutes, causing Word and PowerPoint to close; Microsoft 365 needs daily repairs.
    • Keyboard keys and imprints are too similar in color, unreadable except in bright light; no backlighting.
    • Performance is slow, especially after Microsoft updates, blocking use and causing frustration.
    • Build is flimsy and lightweight, raising doubts about durability even from minor drops.
