This is some kind of endless shame on HP.
Processor performance at the Zen+(!) 3500U-3700U level from 2019!
It's much louder than Lenovo's 2019 S340!
It doesn't even have a backlit keyboard - that's a shame! While the S340 had excellent backlighting for the same money.
I don't believe the author of the review who claims that the contrast is 1700:1 - such a cheap panel has a real contrast of no more than 800:1 and I directly advise people to rely on my figure, and not the figure from the review.
At the end of 2023, delivering the shameful 8GB of memory in single-channel mode will no longer be possible. At least they delivered 8+8 right away for the money. Or one stick for 16, so that the owner can immediately add a second one and get a comfortable 32GB. Although with such a slow processor, 32GB makes almost no sense.
This laptop is a vivid example of how large manufacturers clear their warehouses of outright garbage that is 4 years out of date at an inflated price...
I wouldn't even take this garbage to the office at the end of 2023 - this is frankly not a profitable deal on HP's part, even for small companies. It's better to look for something that will actually be 2-3 times faster and immediately with 16GB for the same money. I'm sure they will find such solutions on the market.
