Hp Pavilion 15 Notebook PC
Hi folks, kindly recommend me a good laptop model, for university work with following specs :
(HP STORE) HP Pavilion Laptop 15-eh2097nr - 15.6" diagonal, FHD (1920 x 1080), IPS display - AMD Ryzen 7 5825U - 16 GB DDR4 RAM - 512GB SSD - FOR $579 AFTER $270 OFF
Good hardware but mediocre screen and battery life. I have an old HP Envy x360 15” with a Ryzen 2500U which is basically on par with the Pavilion here. Of course, nowadays the Envy product line is much better, but I often find myself wishing the screen to be a little brighter indoors. Also, battery life tends to only be about 5 hours at best. One more little nit-pick is the rubber feet at the bottom of the HP laptops. Not sure if it was just my particular laptop or how I used it but within a month, the rubber feet had been completely removed from the chassis and the glue had worn off.
Overall not bad but could be better

Excellent question!
And we truly appreciate your back story as we are nonprofit that works with a lot of folks in assisted living, so we kind of know where you're coming from.
The build quality between the two series is different. It's not drastically different, but the Envy series is far better built. There are eight-year-old models currently on eBay that are drawing a premium price.
We like HP products, as they are generally well designed, and inexpensive to maintain and repair.
We did have a client who bought the following 15-eh2097nr within the last month, and we had it in the shop to upgrade the SSD to 2TB so we could move all of their old media off of their old water damaged laptop.

They're extremely happy with it! And they originally had an Envy.
We've got a number of other examples, but that's our most current. A number of our clients nowadays by Lenovo's. They have exceptional field quality, but they do some things that really rub us the wrong way, like solder in memory.
Hope this helps!

My last two laptops have been HP Envys 15.6", and they've held up well, despite me being tough on devices (I have cerebral palsy, so drops and such are more of an issue for me). I've always bought from HP and utilized their Accidental Damage Protection warranties for each laptop except for maybe one.
Anyways, HP decided to eliminate the numeric keypad from the Envy 15.6" models. I am not thrilled with having to spend more on a 17.3" just to get a numeric keypad, which I find makes it easier for me to type numbers with my limited dexterity. I think I would truly be frustrated not having one.
I've read that the Envy is overall better quality. Are the business laptops more durable and worth considering? I don't do video editing or gaming, just a lot of web browsing and YouTube. I don't even subscribe to any streaming services.

I'm on my second Envy. They are indeed better in terms of build quality, IMO.
Best Buy has a good deal on an i7 Envy 17.3 right now.
