Any thoughts comparing this laptop with the Dell Inspiron 13.3 being sold by Costco also for $600 a month or so ago?

https://slickdeals.net/share/android_app/fp/695464

Bought the Costco one, but haven't opened it and not sure if this would be better. Appreciate any insights into the differences between the two and why one might be better than another.

Thanks in advance!
HP over Dell every time.

I got the similar deal about 2.5 month ago with this laptop at 650 with the privacy screen (sureview). I am definitely returning that one in favor of this one with the regular screen. Sureview display was given me headache after prolong usage. Thanks OP.

Why don't they make matte screens default anymore? Frown

Not sure how people are comparing 15.6" desktop size heavy laptops with ultra book of 13.3".

Well last week I was almost purchase the Lenovo deal from Costco for $650.
Good that I waited, this seems to check most of the boxes and if it's 400 nits I will check tomorrow in store and if it's look good I will be getting it.
These are really light weight and very good for moving around house.
How is the battery life compare to Lenovo?
If I get 6-7 hours with normal use I am good.

Also, this is envy series which is better than Lenovo IdeaPad and HP pavilion in terms of build quality.

I've been shopping for a small laptop for some time and this is a great deal. Picked it up last night at Costco in Hazlet, NJ. Absolutely no regrets.

Picked up mine too last night. Does your thunderbolt port seem a little misaligned? I need to point my cable 45 degrees down to insert it in. It does not go straight in.

I wiped the factory Windows 11 and did a clean install, so I don't want to return it if its a problem across the board. It might also be intentional, as it hold the cable really snug due to this.

I'm curious of this as well. Does that allow you to remove the HP bloatware?

Yes you remove all bloat. You create a bootable windows disk, and then boot from it, and then install. But if you don't already know how to do it, then be really careful and follow instructions. https://support.microsoft.com/en-...c3b507420d

Anyone know the webcam resolution on this and if this is touchcreen ? I got the Samsung 360 Pro (15.6 , 1TBSSD, 16GB RAM) last week for $700 and trying to decide between the two. I prefer 15.6 but can live with 13.3 screen as my use case is to keep the laptop for home use , media consumption and drawing (touchscreen)

Webcam is 720 and yes, it's touchscreen. Here is a link with the specs:

I created a bootable USB using Microsoft's Windows 11 create installation media: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/s.../windows11

Look up tutorials online. There are lot of things going on, so don't do it unless you know how.

However it was painful to do a clean install. If it was easy then I would be more inclined to return for a replacement to check out if the thunderbolt port is misaligned. Even when it was so painful I would still do it to get rid of all bloatware.

Here are issues I ran into:
  1. The touchpad drivers are not in the Windows 11 installation media. So the touchpad won't work until Windows installs and completes all updates. It does find the correct drivers eventually on its own. Just took a few updates and reboots. I had an external mouse handy which I used during install.
  2. The bigger problem is that the hard disk drivers are not on the Windows 11 installation media either. So you won't see your hard disk at all. You need to download the drivers from Intel and extract them on the install USB. https://www.intel.com/content/www...forms.html I used the VMD zip file. I also nuked all partitions since I didn't want anything to remain on it.

After all updates it will install Intel Thunderbolt and some other Intel drivers, and HP Bang & Olufsen for audio. But that is it. I am not sure if I actually need the Bang & Olufsen control center. I was most pissed at all HP and McAfee bloatware.

However, Windows 11 comes with its own set of bloatware. It installs Microsoft Maps and other things. Why would I need a map app on my computer?
