Cons:
- Screen is not as good (sRGB, Adobe RGB and brightness)
- Software got some quirks (they have emailed 2 updates which I have not applied yet)

Pros:
- Very good keyboard (same as my 3k laptop)
- Windows precision touch pad
- Charges very fast
- Speedy
- Not noisy
- Build quality (though not as good as the better ThinkPad)
- Very easy to upgrade/change components

Taking into consideration its price, it's a good buy definitely. If you want better, just pay more for other series or brands.

Wow, that are some serious configurations.

Getting a basic one since it is for my kids,
Ryzen 5, 8GB Ram, FHD screen, 45w charger, 1 Tera Hdd,
All in, $690.
With the 3 year warranty thrown in, it is a good buy.

2.1kg for E585, and 1.75kg for E485, which is slightly heavier than most non-gaming laptops.

To put into context, Macbook pro is 1.83kg.

The weight is not accurate for e485.

Mine comes without hdd and only a single ram already >1.8kg.

Potential buyers u might want to include this into your consideration

Have to pay more to get better and lighter laptop, or get HP version of Ryzen. Maybe that's the trade-off or else those light laptop will have no USP.

Thanks for the advice.

I have consider it too. But finally decided on the hdd




HDD will be slow and will get slower as time goes by. I don't know why it's happening on Windows whereas on the Mac and linux it does not seems to have this problem.

Why didn't you opt for the 65w charger?
It's just +$2.:s12:
