Haha they reduced another $20! It has been going slowly down from $529. Nobody's buying it. That screen is BAD.

300 nits is pretty low brightness, but indoor use is fine especially with the anti glare.

IMO perfect laptop. Got it open box 2 weeks ago for about 380. Wicked fast (snapdragon + windows arm is very quick) + 16-20 hours of battery with 20-30 google doc tabs open.

Idk what this guy is on about the screen. It's not like those actual "bad" TN screens you see on super cheap hp and dells. Those are terrible screens.

I have this laptop's screen to a MacBook Air and my surface laptop, and it's looks the same. 3k with about 300 nitts. I really don't care what some spec sheet says. If you actually go to the store and check it out, it's a good screen. Sure it's not 120hz, but that's such a silly thing to worry about if you're using office software.

I picked this up over the weekend. I also recently purchased the Asus Vivobook 14 with Lunar Lake 226v. Comparing to that unit, this laptop is significantly thinner and definitely has a better typing experience. I also prefer the IPS screen on this vs the OLED on the Asus. Overall I think the build quality is better on the HP and at this point, it's the computer I would keep if I was going to be returning one. I realize the processors are different but for my business use my employees needs are mainly with MS Office, Chrome, and 1 app that is not native x86 but runs fine on Snapdragon. At this price I think the laptop is a winner if you don't have unique software needs.

Is this a good laptop for watching Netflix, some office or google docs and having 30+ tabs open in chrome browser and the occassinal zoom call with the built in camera and mic? This would be for my wife, which would be her couch surfing laptop. She would never travel with it or take it outside to surf. Her old refurb Dell 7490 is having issues and her biggest complaint is the speakers suck on the dell to watch Netflix so she has to use headphones. Does this laptop have a decent set of speakers?

I think this is the ideal laptop for everything you mentioned since none of those require an x86 processor. The speakers get extremely loud but I wouldn't call them amazing clarity. That said, you'd have trouble getting a high quality tablet for this price (unless a basic iPad 10 would suffice...and it probably would). I have no regrets getting this laptop at its current price.

Thanks for the reply. I am debating this vs the $419 walmart Lenovo Ideapad Flex 5 16 inch WUXGA Touch 2-in-1 Windows Laptop AMD Ryzen 7-7730U 16GB posted here on SD??

My wife's old laptop is a 14" and not sure if she will like the Lenovo 16" size wise on her lap. Trying to surprise her with a new laptop while shes out on vacation.

I assume for $40 more this one is a lot better on paper: better processor and display. What are your thoughts?

Dude, be real. 300 nits is gross, as is 60hz. There is a reason they are selling these things for peanuts.
Man I love high refresh and bright screens but this is an insane deal for the price. There are essentially no drawbacks on this, at least looking at the specs.

Low price, fast processor, has good storage/RAM, even has touch screen, WiFi7, backlit keyboard, and fairly light. If the only bad part is that it's not OLED high refresh and refurb at MC then that's amazing for general use at $450. If it has IR/finger scanner that's another cherry on top.

Imo way better value than any Macs that people call class leading.
