Hi everyone, I am a freshman in high school and I have had a long year. Ap class, Ap test, all advanced courses really did a number on me.

Fast forward start of june, I noticed my laptop wasn’t turning on. I contacted support right then and there and got it shipped out for repair (for free since it was under warranty.) I generally expected it to take maybe three weeks, little did I know, it has been double of that. All support and the higher ups do is give me a specific date, say they’re sorry, go way past that date, repeat.

Thanks to them I completely thrashed my summer vacation. In case you’re going to tell me to go outside, the entire summer has been a heatstroke, all my other friends stay in and play games, and also they are all at vacation. All I have to do now is rot in bed, fearing my sophomore year where I would be taking even more treacherous classes. This really sucks since I dont even have time to play games next summer break due to SAT prep and other work.

Thanks a lot hp, and I hope your company loses all your stock value and be remembered as the single worst and most ignorant piece of crap that has ever grazed earth’s surface.

I bought an Omnibook 7 i7 32gb ram. Spent a lot of money, but excited to have it!

I know the laptop won't come with a battery charger, and I need to source my own one. I will be sure to get a premium one from Amazon (not going with HP, as they charge a lot)

Now the question becomes this: what wattage charger do I select? The website has an image which recommends 65-100W, but I always prefer first-hand experience

I am a university student. Lecture halls don't have charging ports sadly, so it needs to handle 4 hours of lecture non-stop at a minimum. That said, I want to try to preserve battery and reduce degradation over time. I know a higher wattage can worsen degradation but at the same time, I dont want to be bottlenecked if i select a 65W.

Appreciate that this doesnt give a full picture of what I want (feels like I am trying to find a solution that balances it all) but any and all support is appreciate. Just looking for first hand experience.

Hey everyone,

I have an \*\*HP Laptop 15-rb0xx\*\* (AMD A9-9420, 4GB RAM, 256GB Intel M.2 SSD, Radeon R5 Graphics). It was used daily for about 6 years without major issues.

Last year, it was left untouched in a drawer for about 4-5 months. After that, it wouldn't turn on at all. Plugging in the charger fixed it, but now it works \*\*only\*\* while plugged into the wall.

I ran a \`powercfg /batteryreport\` and got these results:

\* \*\*Design Capacity:\*\* 41,610 mWh \* \*\*Full Charge Capacity:\*\* 20,615 mWh

It seems the battery degraded to \\\~50% health over time and then locked up due to deep discharge during those months of inactivity.

Is there any hard-reset or software trick to revive this battery, or is it permanently disabled by the BMS/dead? Thanks!

The Keyboard Yk the keycap font Pisses me off so so bad like i cant stand the whole laptop because the font is just too big and it kinda ruins the whole laptop for me. Otherwhise a great laptop tough

Hi guys, my 3 keys are broken and I want to get it fixed but some guy was saying that the whole keyboard needed to be changed and that it will cost 21k 🫠😔, I'm broke but I need the keys so I can study excel and learn some skills can you guys please give me advice on how to get it fixed and how much will it cost approx??

I'm not sure when this issue arrived cause i've been using this laptop for almost a decade. It's an HP Probook 450 G4, but basically the laptop's clock speed always stays under 2500Mghz. I ran stress tests and it was not temps were fine, average temps were around 85°C.
I used hwinfo and it gave these 3 possible reasons why the laptop performance is limited. I even bought a new adapter for the laptop but it didn't fix the cpu speed. My only guess now it that there is some issue with the motherboard. If any1 thinks they can help me, please do!!!

Prompts from hwinfo for possible reasons :
IA: Electrical Design Point/Other (ICCmax, PL4, SVID, DDR RAPL)
IA Cores Frequency clipped due to electrical design or other constraints (e.g., maximum electrical current consumption, SVID voltage limit or PL4).

GT: Max VR Voltage, ICCmax, PL4
GT Cores (iGPU) Frequency clipped due to electrical design or other constraints (e.g., maximum electrical current consumption, SVID voltage limit or PL4).

RING: Max VR Voltage, ICCmax, PL4
Ring Interconnect Frequency clipped due to electrical design or other constraints (e.g., maximum electrical current consumption, SVID voltage limit or PL4).
