Note, mine also had an extra NVMe slot inside, so you can add another drive (I did) with little effort. The back cover comes of nice and clean with screws - easy to upgrade.
Too bad the RAM is not upgradable... it's soldered and there are no slots.
Still, a great machine, especially at this price!

These LGs feel far more solid, and are "MIL STD" tough, whatever that means. That said, they feel solid and super light, yet very fast and powerful. They cost more than the HP but I feel it's worth it. And at this price with 16GB RAM, it's a great deal for a larger-screen laptop (I paid $600 for mine a few years ago... and it's going strong with by brother-in-law).
For non-engineering use, this machine would be great. The LGGram I replaced it with is a little more (because it's a little lighter) and has more RAM (32GB) which is why I got it... and it has an Intel CPU (Ultra 7) which has better raw CPU power, but the AMD felt faster overall for anything I threw at it.
In summary, I think these are great laptops, feel sturdy, and at this price a 16GB RAM machine will likely be great for most people... a great deal IMO (after all, I paid more for it and still loved it!)
probably no thunderbolt.
i couldn't get a close enough look at the ports.

Depends on what you need for college. Some colleges are finicky about what you get, in which case you can be stuck with dumb requirements that make no sense. I'm an engineer by training and have seen colleges require high power laptops just because they plan to do some CAD. I did CAD on the UltraPC with no issues... sure, I'm not doing monster assemblies in Solidworks, but I can work on subassemblies and such without issue, and can view them without issue as well.

I am on the fence, but kinda reluctant to buy a laptop with zero firmware/driver updates since 2024.
