I think it's their product line for corporate users, think about Thinkpad (well, just from HP). Should be solid. Definitely better than Envy, Inspiron, or Pavilion
This is probably refurbished, but not labeled as such. Only MC refurb comes with 90 day wtyWARRANTY

Just upgraded mine today with a $42 WD Blue SN570 1TB SSD from WalMart (https://slickdeals.net/f/17370249-western-digital-500gb-blue-sn570-nvme-internal-solid-state-drive-ssd-27-in-store-walmart?v=1). Pleasantly surprised with how easy it is to work with this laptop.

Sold out.
Over a dozen available at the local store right now. YMMV.

Quote from power :
does anyone else get no sound from this HP laptop after Windows 11 upgrade? Can't seem to find an answer. Settings seem correct, not even the "test" sound works.
It is a sound enchancement setting that got turned on by default. Go the audio settings and turn off all the digital processin options. One of the setting conflicts with the drivers of this laptop.

Thanks OP. I missed out on the $300 price but got for $350. Can confirm this was brand new and never used, battery test showed it haven't even been turned on before I bought it.

Do other people have "some settings are managed by your organization"? I tried to remove the network id under system properties and it doesn't take. Paranoid about big brother watching.

Also have HP Wolf Security installed and some browser extension. Did people have that and just remove it?

Rule 1 of buying prebuilts. Erase the installed OS and reinstall from scratch using, sourcing windows installer media iso obtained directly from MS.

From what I can recall of briefly playing with the installed windows - it appeared to be a customized install - some elements were missing, like the microsoft store. Likely modified for the original intended buyer.

Do a clean install of Windows 11 OS and it becomes a non-issue

These were for Amazon AWS, and for whatever reason the order was cancelled or these were old "new" stock. AWS employees are given 2 options for a computer: macbook or elitebook. I presume this was the option in2021 and they had a lot leftover.

Currently have a T490 with warranty expiring soon. Can anyone here compare the T490 keyboard to this one? Also what type of battery life are you seeing on normal use? I mostly just use excel and video calls.

I assume the t490 is the same as the t480. In that case, I can actually answer your question. Theyre pleasantly comparable. The HP keys are much more crisp feeling with sharp corners; the keys dont have those scalloped "smiley" curves to them like they got on thinkpads. They key travel is comparable, however. The distance between the keys is almost identical. you cant run your fingers across the keyboard as nicely as on the thinkpad, but my typing speed was not affected.

battery life is quite good, and its much faster than the t480 and 90, since you are getting more cores and decent built in graphics. You can also reuse thinkpad usb-c docks with it (install the drivers first). It will run all day if youre just doing video and excel (the exact same two things my wife does on it). She charges it maybe every 1.5 days and carries the machine to the basement (Away from the kids) or to a panera.
