While I hope for every HP device with a 3:2 display to be attractive and the noise is low, I have these objections:
- 1255U with 66Wh and WLAN 8:01 is underwhelming compared to a recent 1230U 51Wh test with clearly over 14h.
- not detachable
- strongly mirroring display
- OLED has PWM flickering at all and even at 60Hz
- slow memory
- tiny arrow keys
- no extra page navigation keys
- fixed RAM modules
What would be your better pick, than this notebook?
if only they ever made an AMD version for this series for power/heat vs performance.

As I prefer tablets to office-speed notebooks, I have not made a best candidates list yet. However, I recall that there have been notebooks, detachables or convertibles with by far fewer remaining critical objections. For example, Toshiba Portege X20W (major objection 16:9) or Dell XPS 13 9315 (major objections tiny arrow keys, missing page keys). I very much prefer 4:3 (non-existent except for ebook readers and tablets) or 3:2 but they tend to be mirrors and have tiny arrow keys, see, e.g., Huawei.

Agreed, and user reviews in the HP forums suggest higher power and RAM usage than they would expect... A watch and wait for me...
The 60Hz flickering rules this device out as a useable laptop. Could this be a specific fault of the review device?
