Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

At first glance, this computer seems to be a steal. 512GB SSD, 16GB RAM, quad-core i5 maxing at 3.6GHz and only at $500! It is far from it. At this price, HP has to cut corners, and it's so painfully obvious they did. This laptop comes equipt with the Realtek RTL8821CE 802.11ac WiFi adapter. This piece of hardware is garbage. Don't take my word for it either, do some Google searches on it! Put in the part name + "disconnect" and issues come up in abundance. There are a multitude of threads on HPs own website, dating back from 2018 even, about how this WiFi adapter constantly disconnects or misbehave. The "solutions" that HP gives to to download a specific driver. Click the link and the file does not exist! And that's if you're able to get that far before the chip disconnects. The first 3 solutions I checked out did this, I'm not going to waste any more time with it right now. Summary: good specs, but the WiFi chip constantly disconnects, even requiring restart to fix it. Happens instantly after reboot sometimes. Stay away from this product until a fix for the WiFi chip is implemented. Planning on returning this headache of a computer unless I can find a fix. This is just so sad because I used to love HP products. Definitely gonna have to think twice before purchasing from them again.
