What Buyers Say
HP TPN-Q221
The HP laptop receives mostly positive reviews for its speed, value, and suitability for work and study. However, several verified buyers report significant issues: a defective display, poor customer service from HP, and the restrictive Windows 11 S-Mode that blocks non-Microsoft apps. The keyboard lacks backlighting and has a cheap feel, and one unit arrived with only 4GB RAM instead of the advertised 8GB.

- Good value for money
- Lightweight and portable
- Clear screen
- Comfortable keyboard
Cons
- Windows 11 S-Mode restrictions
- Defective display on some units
