Strongly agreed. Especially for this particular machine in the light of the comments on the Arch wiki -- I would run not walk away from this. I have used/supported several HP laptops; I do not like them much. (Marginally) better than Sony, (even) worse than Dell. Lenovo are the best, with Toshiba a distant second. But I wouldn't spend my money on anything except Lenovos from the Thinkpad (*NOT* IdeaPad or anything else) range, TBH.
