I purchased ~ten of these from BH for some of the staff at our private school. If you know what you're getting into, this is an excellent deal.

The flaws of this computer are:
1) Only USB-C ports (not even a headphone jack)
2) Weird shortcut buttons on the right offset the keyboard slightly making touch typing a bit of a learning curve (also the keyboard shortcuts are all worthless)
3) HP tried to go 2016 MacBook Pro four years after MacBook Pros realized it wasn't a good idea

However, for $620 all of these issues are tiny.

The build quality is EXCELLENT. They really did get MacBook Pro level fit and finish. I specifically wanted an unibody chassis and this computer is $500 cheaper than pretty much any other comparable build.

All USB-C ports are thunderbolt, have displayport out, and can charge the computer. This was a big deal for me as my staff use USB-C docks and they beat the snot out of the ports. They now have three ports they can break before the computer has to be taken out of service.

Overall size is really in the sweet spot. The touchpad is excellent. The keyboard is decent (minus the weird offset).

I'm half tempted to order a couple more to have in inventory as they're just such nice machines for this price.

Regarding the T-Mobile Locked

"If you don't have access to Wi-Fi, there is a Qualcomm Snapdragon X55 5G modem that will only work with T-Mobile and provides broadband connectivity when paired with an appropriate service plan."

The HP Dragonfly Pro laptops consistently have the best integrated webcams on the market, MacBooks included. Very underrated feature in the hybrid and remote work era.

I ended up finding the chromebook variant of this at Microcenter for $599 refurbished and this is by far the best laptop I have ever had. Better than what I had when I worked at Google, better than my $2500 MSI laptop, and the MacBook I usually have at my job. Definitely of the highest quality!

Bought it the last time it was here from B&H. Had to immediately RMA it for failure, and now the replacement just failed 4 months in, and will be sending back to HP.

Maybe it is bad luck, but I am questioning this model's reliability.

I'm sorry, I did not. I mean, I bought it but returned it and took a restocking fee hit. It wasn't my favorite and didn't have pro on it (which I could've fixed but didn't want to go against the grain further in regards to the other laptops I have out there).

Sorry, noob questions:
1) Am I forced to sign up with T-mobile? Can't I just use WIFI only?
2) Will it constantly remind me to sign up for T-mobile service if I refuse it and just go WIFI?

I mentioned this on the recent thread as well and so mentioning it here for posterity as this deal seems to come back often. For anyone considering this laptop to use on the $10 T-Mobile Business line, it works.
