It's a good multimedia machine to watch movies, videos on YouTube...
The integration with Office suite is also a plus point...
For students, I think this is a really great budget laptop...
The flexibility of having a tablet mode is a great value...

Weaknesses

The volume of the speakers is a bit low
The webcam quality is decent but not great
The camera is blurry and soft, especially in low light conditions
The microphone quality is decent but the camera is a letdown...
You can't play high-end games like Battlefield 5 or Call of Duty Modern Warfare...
The battery life might be a bit short for heavy users...

HP 470 G7

Strengths

Large display: This is the main reason why people would buy the 470 g7 so thank goodness it's good great for video streaming or productivity excellent viewing angles color coverage and decent brightness on this large 17.3 inch panel
Decent performance: The combination of a shiny new 10th gen I 710 510 u CPU, 16 gigabytes of memory, and a fast M to drive gives power users a polished laptop for medium to heavy application usage
Upgrade options: The g7 is flexible when it comes to upgrade ability with a 2.5 inch SATA drive bay m dot 2 m vm e drive support and dual channel memory twin slots
Good performance under battery power: HP engineers have rotted the CPU more so under battery power only to squeeze every ounce of performance

Weaknesses

Poor build quality: The chassis on the 470 is made entirely of plastic with no premium feature, this wouldn't be too bad but the fitting materials and the opportune of the lid scratched easily when we had it and buckled under little pressure
Big and heavy: The majority of people will expect the 470 g7 to be big in dimensions and heavy but don't expect to move the g7 at all, it's not at all portable due to its ungainly proportions
No USB type-c port: It's a small nitpicking point but nowadays I would expect a USB type-c port with something price like the 470 g7
Average battery life: The free cell 41 what our battery is average for general usage at six to seven hours, considering the size of the laptop I would have expected a bigger battery and therefore longer battery life
