The build quality seems fine to me, especially for this price point. I mean, the screen looks fine, but hers had some light bleeding for the edge lighting out of the box. But honestly, that was to be expected for this price point, and it was only noticeable when most of the screen was black. The only thing I thought may be an issue is there was just a single heat pipe over to the fan. But, these are the new processors and supposed to be super efficient... so that may be all it needs. I'm a gamer, so all my laptops are gaming laptops. I know single heat pipes are pretty common for builds like this. We haven't had any issues with it so far. When under load, the very top portion of the keyboard got a bit warm... but nothing crazy.
the one thing I will note that is SUPER important to know.
We installed the new hard drive last night. I just planned to do a clean install of windows 11. But I was unable to. I created a brand new install usb with the media creation tool from MS. CURRENT version. But, it would not recognize her wireless card. It's too new. And there is no Ethernet. I downloaded drivers from HP and from realtek. I tried to get them installed via the command line during the install process, but no dice. Then I tried bypassing the network check and installing them manually in windows. Again, no dice. the ONLY WAY I was able to get windows to install on the new machine was to create a recovery drive with the stock install (that carries over the driver files). So, if you're looking to upgrade that SSD straight away, create a recovery drive with the stock install first, or possibly use a USB Ethernet device if you have one. I didn't have any USB Ethernet devices around, and it was 10o'clock at night, so recovery drive it was for us.
The screen isn't great, has some light bleeding around the edges already. But as has been noted, current gen processor, sub 500 price range, backlit keyboard (hard to find too at this price), it ticked all the boxes for my friend. And you can always hook it to an external monitor when at home.
I opened it up to replace the HDD. Back comes off with four screws and a pry tool. No screws hidden under the rubber pads. The batter is secured with FIVE screws (ugh) which seemed a bit overkill, but I digress. It has a standard size m.2 NVME. It has a single heat pipe running from the processor over to the fan, but I believe the cooling should be more than sufficient for this machine.
The one we got has two rams slots. No soldered ram.
Also, the 256gb drive it comes with seems pretty low quality. It has a SINGLE memory chip on it... which I didn't even know was possible with this configuration, but maybe i'm just not up to date on how these are made. Tomorrow we are replacing hers with a 4tb (she has a large photo library and wants to get a bunch off her icloud so she can stop paying apple so much) she ordered from amazon.
Additional note, if you upgrade the ram, be prepared to wait for a while for it to ship. It was about 3 weeks from when she ordered it to when it arrived. And fedex screwed up the shipping, and I had to go track down the unit, but that's a whole other story and not HPs fault. Thankfully it was easy to find. The Fedex person accidentally disclosed the address they delivered it to when they asked my friend "did you authorize a change in deliver to...." There's a place nearby her house that maintains, upgrades, and formats machines for schools. They get shipments in bulk. That morning, they got a huge shipment of almost identical looking boxes. The delivery driver scanned in my friends unit while there and left it there. Buffoon. Would've had to have overridden the notification that they were delivering it to the wrong address. What a schmuck. Anyway, it worked out!

How is the build quality and particularly the hinges on this HP model?
Is the build all plastic or is there any metal component?
I'm still upset with my Lenovo IdeaPad 5 whose hinge broke within 2 years :-(

- Arc 5: A530M, A550M, A570M
- Arc 7: A730M, A770M
