Folks, Ive had one of these machines for about 9 months now. Its ok but (i) the USB ports show an intermittent fault when connecting an external hard drive to them, and (what really drives me mad is ....) (ii) the fan noise. The fan comes in periodically and it is as though a helicopter is coming in to land on my roof. Do all newer laptops of all makes, have this fan problem ?
The fan will be kicking in, because the laptop is working so hard, it needs to cool down - so it's likely to be what you're using it for, which is triggering the fan.
@@ruxxyayo Hello ruxxyayo. No, I do not play any games on the laptop. I do mostly data analysis work (for my job), so I am a heavy duty user of Excel and some MS Visual Studio. The fan comes on randomly. I have got used to it now. Also, I have stopped using my laptop after midnight because of the noise that it creates.
My old HP250 G6 with i7 -7500u processor has served me well, but is falling apart (literally) and is now also pretty much kaput. The entry level G9 has an i5 -1235u processor, which oddly I'd of thought with lower numbers, would be less good. Confusing, but apparently the G9's processor is actually a good deal better than that in the G6. Best price now (April 24) for for a basic G9 seems really good at £400 inc. delivery and also the case looks to be tougher than the G6, so I'll go for that.
So for what I understand so far from comments that it's not good for Designing, Recording or Gaming. I don't think it should so darn expensive and for what? Who in the right mind would buy this. At this price range there are a thousang other good laptops. I am still wondering...
May be you should invest in laptop with external GPU which can hardwarely boost your editing speed. The thing is not all software support hardware optimizations.
Maybe not with your version maybe you need the intel NVME driver but in general I’ve found that HP budget laptops are very easy laptops to install linux on.
