My fancypants laptop! I nickname it ‘bluboi’. Great performer – I use it fairly lightly, just for quick on-the-go things and not much else. Ordered for Black Friday 2020, received right as the next year started, and I unboxed it in my car one morning before stepping into work! A good little memory after a convoluted ordering process. As of September 2026, it’s still been very reliable since I first got it!
Specs:
- Processor: Intel Core i7-1165G7
- Memory: 16GB LPDDR4
- Graphics: Intel Iris Xe
- Storage: Intel Optane 512GB
- Screen: 1920×1080 13.3″ w/HP SureView (aka Buyer’s Remorse Edition – sounded great on paper!)
Ever since I got a recycled M1 MacBook Air fixer-upper, I don’t use this laptop as much anymore, since Windows 10 is such a broken operating system – heaven forbid Windows 11. Maybe I’ll try some Linux action and see where that goes, with hopes it’ll support the active digitizer halfway-right.
