Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback! Very compact and lightweight, feels a bit like a toy. Decent ports choice (no SD/microSD card reader though). Finally I have a device that has USB-A and it is not so annoying to take it every day in the backpack.However it has issues where no one observer has mentioned in reviews.Absolutely disappointed with display (FullHD with 1000 nits and SureView) - viewing angles are VERY narrow. 5 centimeters to the side of direct angle and part of your screen is dark (readable though). Multiple rainbow reflections of lamps at the screen all around. After MacBook PRO 2015 it looks like stone age display. SureView works but it dims significantly direct view at the same time.1000 nits in not so "eye burning" as expected (thand partially to viewing angles).Forget about watching a movie in the airplane together with neighbor.All in all, absolute disappointment - have a look at the display before purchase! Maybe "standard" version of FullHD 400 nits / UHD 500 nits is better.I can understand why HP gave all the bloggers and reviewing companies version with FHD400 display.Touchpad. Ermmmmm... After Mac it is also a pain. Topside presses with high hesitancy (because axis is horizontally on top, it is not "butterfly" mechanism as at Mac), bottom side is OK. So, you cannot use it as easy as on Mac - you have to use touches instead of presses. Size of touchpad could be bigger.Power. Nominally you can power up with any USB-C power source. In fact:1) Mobile's 5A Huawei does not power up this HP device. You have to use 45W adapter minimum2) Not every cable is OK - one Ugreen (chineese brand) cable hangs up the power system and laptop refuses to charge after this even from original power source. You have to press power button for 30 seconds for "static discharge" (been told by support), then it is OK.3) If you use Mac 85W adapter - it charges but power LED does not light up (don't ask me why)4) Original adapter is tiny but cable from adapter to power wall socket is like for powering up Tesla. Why??? HP, why you did not make a simple plug right on the adapter?Well, if not the display it could be a very good tool with some imperfections. In fact, i would look for model with another screen
