This monitor is excellent for editing photos and slides.
It has incredibly accurate color rendition right out

better for processing my photos and slides than the

for my work. Its 1920X1200 resolution is well matched

4 port usb hub, as well as a stand that has a remarkable
degree of positioning capability.

Good backup drive - but needs a fan
on November 11, 2024
Posted by: prof2000
Verified Purchase:Yes
I do regular image backups of my workstation,
that has four NVMe m.2 drives . For this I need
large capacity, external, hard drives. This 20TB drive
is well suited for the task. Its only shortcoming is
that it heats up to more than 50deg C during the
long backup time, if left to its own devices. I have
fixed this issue by positioning a pair of 80mm fans
beneath it, to force cool air into its housing (see photo).

Like a Comfy Couch! The Vernazza Soft Fabric design is based on Arozzi~s top rated Vernazza chair, but has been covered with a soft yet durable fabric used on quality furniture! The breathable material is exceptionally pleasing to sit in, while at the same time keeping you cool for long term use! The wheel base has been upgraded to an aesthetically pleasing aluminum metal with a matte black finish, and the updated gas lift added some additional height to the seat ideal, expanding its comfort range and making it an ideal choice for taller body types as well!

Your problem might be solved by adjusting the power and display settings. For example, lower the brightness setting for the display. Also, shorten the time before the screen goes blank if there is no activity.

2 out of 5HO Pavilion — caveat emptor
By MichaelB
Thought I was buying an exact copy of the laptop I had when I ordered it online. Took it out of the box and it was NOT the same. My fault for trusting HP. The old HP Pavillion had a backlit keyboard and a good touchpad, which the replacement doesnt. Also, it seems to jump randomly to different cells when I am working in a spreadsheet. On the plus side, more storage and lower price point.
I recommend you test drive HP Pavillions rather than buy them online, because you dont know what you are going to get online

Different variant
November 14, 2023
Good points! After doing some online research I learned that large chains like Best Buy often have a variant of a device that is slightly different to what is described on the manufacturer's website. Sometimes it might have some additional feature, and sometimes it will be missing some feature. You will sometimes find that the product id listed on the seller's website does not appear on the manufacturer's website - which is an indicator of a special variant for that seller.

Good point
November 14, 2023
You made a good point. I had to do some searching to learn that the RAM was not upgradeable. However, I also learned that HP installed the RAM in an optimal way, by installing two identical 4GB chips that run in parallel. This is far better than installing one 8GB chip.

4 out of 5Decent laptop, decent price.
By Squarehard
The laptop is a good one and does just about anything basic you will need it for.
If you're buying for just standard use like browsing, streaming, or other typical tasks, this will be more than enough to help support that.
The laptop itself is also pretty light, and good for travel.
While I'm not a fan of touchscreens, it's a nice additional option to have for those who prefer to utilize that feature.
One thing is that the storage itself is very low, so you wouldn't want to get this laptop for any major multimedia use. Storing music and photos will probably be fine, to a point, but videos and larger HD images will probably fill up the storage on this quite fast.
Overall, decent unit, nothing fancy, but seems reliable overall.

By Colleen
So far seems like a good computer. I bought as Christmas present for my Mom, so time will tell. I set it up for her and only thing I’m struggling a little with is the Microsoft 11S version. I’m not clear if I still need separate virus protection or not, and in S mode I can’t download the free security suite offered by her internet provider because it’s not a Microsoft application. I’m hoping this will be good enough for her to check emails and do banking.

This was a great deal when I bought it. Bought it for my mother who is elderly and enjoys watching videos on her phone. She very much enjoys the big 15 inch screen compared to her phone. Also, this laptop comes with a touchscreen which makes it very easy to use even for someone who never uses a computer. It is quick enough and has enough memory for her to store all her photos. Its not the lightest laptop, but that okay. Overall I would recommend this laptop for someone looking for everyday use like internet browsing, video streaming, etc.

4 out of 5Good Substitute for PC
By HyoJn
I bought this laptop a bit impulsively since I needed a new one for school with a camera and good enough battery. It definitely does the job, the only drawbacks being 720p camera, Windows 11 off the bat, no privacy shutter and bad speaker quality. For the speaker/sound- don't get me wrong it's not the worst, but definitely not the best, as the audio seems to come from the bottom of the laptop which makes the sounds become muffled in almost any position. Apart from these small quality of life issues it handles fine, seems sturdy, good battery, and has decent space. Additionally, I play videogames on this such as, Rainbow Six Siege, PayDay 2, Sims, etc. which run fairly fine besides the fan getting hot of course. I give it a 8/10 since it serves as a substitute for an actual desktop and don't think I'll be getting rid of it anytime soon.

Bottom firing speakers

The speakers for this laptop are bottom firing. These kind of speakers work best when the laptop sits on a hard surface, so the sound waves can bounce off that surface better and yield better and louder sound.

Can you program a wattage limit? I can’t have an appliances exceed 1000 watts where I live
The wattage used increases with the set temperature, and also with the speed of the fan (which can't be set).

Does this item have a 3 prong plug? I need one as i will use it at work and need 3 prong to be compliant
It has a polarized two-prong plug, ie, one prong is larger than the other. It can be plugged in only one way. The outlet on the wall must permit the use of such a plug.

Logitech Desk Mat lets you find your glide and define your style, all while keeping your desk protected. Click some color into your workspace with your choice of aesthetics. The soft cloth mat delivers style and comfort. Pair it with Logitech POP Keys, POP Mouse, and more.
Would this mat be appropriate for setting my laptop on, on top of a mahogany desk? The features mention it holding a keyboard, mouse etc but I.d like to know if it would also be fine to set a laptop on it. Thank you!
I use it with my gaming laptop and gaming mouse. It works well. It would be fine on your mahogany desk.

Does the refurbished t7 work as good as a new t7?
I purchased two of these refurbished drives. After properly initializing and formatting one of them, it appears to work as well as a new drive. This was not true for the second drive - I struggled to get it to work, and then found that 7% of the sectors of the drive were bad. It now appears to be working, but I less confidence in it.

Does the external SSD come with a USB-C cable? I’m not sure if I have one.
It should come with two cables. One a usb c to c, and the second a usb c to a. Mine came in a little box "hidden" behind the drive. However, you need to test them with a drive known to be good. I found 3 of the 4 cables I received with two of these drives to be defective.

I just purchased this external ssd and tried to use it for the first time. It will not show up on my computer anywhere, except on the "eject" tray. Why can't my new laptop see or open it the file location?
I suspect that it needs to be initialized and then formatted - operations you can do from disk management. However, it could also be a bad cable. I had a similar experience with this refurbished drive.
