HP14-BS033TX Lap Top Review Part 3 Getting use to the Computer
Part 3 was supposed to be getting use
to the Laptop ie the Tips and JumpStart, However its turning in to a download
exercise, Do note while Windows will quietly download in the back ground and
only disturb you to restart the computer, HP Support need you to manually
enable the download.
First up was getting some music. And
testing out some movies.
Music : How to Make Adjustment for Sound
Played some movies and music, getting
the volume was easy as each app have their adjustment and there the 3 hot keys
at F6 (Mute), F7 Volume down, F8 Volume Up but sound was flat, started to
search for a way to make it sound better.
Finally, after a search there a App –
Audio Control – Listening Experience – Various Auto Setting there or go custom,
and Check the Auto Enhancement which have 3 choice Music, Voice and Movie.
Overall Volume is localise, good
enough for the person using the laptop but does not travel nor fill the
room.
Default App for Music seems to be
Grove Music, which works for me.
Next was the screen brightness
……
Screen :
Adjustment for Brightness
Screen is very bright and reflective
almost as good as a mirror, wish there is a way for reading mode, adjusted the
brightness by right clicking the battery indicator, there a simple brightness
control there, with increment of 25%, for immediate changes or left click on
the battery, Adjust Screen Brightness, will send you to the Power settings
where you can change the plan settings or use the hot key F2 & F3.
The Screen will definitely smudge if
you touch it as I did many times, old habits die hard. It best to sit in with a dark background at
the back, with dark clothing, but its good as no one can creep up to you from
the back.
Laptop Appearance: As Stated
earlier the matt black look excellent, however there the tendency to pick up body/finger
grease and assorted scruff marks here and there.
Key Board: Definitely
an improvement over my old hybrid, much larger more comfortable with a wrist
rest, however takes time to get used to it, I keep touching the home key which
send the cursor to the beginning of the sentence.
Microsoft Office Pro Retail: I finally
give up on the Open Office, There is nothing wrong with it, but I think I do
not know how to operate the spell checker, after checking the net etc, it auto
correct at times, but not all the time……
in terms of documents and old files, it compatible.
Getting the MS Office was quite a
strait forward, I opt to do a download, which took around 2 hours plus with a
strong wifi connection, via a 8mb landline, and installing it (64bit version)
took another 30min, Open Words, key in the Key and that was it. Superb …….
However a “problem” show up later ….. In Excel I always use F2 key to correct or
to add what written in the cells. This
computer use F2 for Brightness. Work
around is using the mouse to click on the cell
More Downloads
At this time thing got a bit
interesting lots of Windows 10 downloads has happened, and the computer started
to request to shutdown to update, this took a bit of time with numerous
shutdown.
So after all those, I thought I can
finally have some time to explore the Laptop properly, Fat chance, I launch
Tips and started going through things then, I notice HP support Assistant also
started to request my attention, and it also want to down load and install
apps, so far HP JumpStart, HP Obit and HP diagnostic was downloaded and
installed with lots more to go.
So tonight with be more downloading
and installing before I can get back to Tips, HP JumpStart to learn more about
the computer.
Updates on Programs
Some of the apps have change name or
have disappeared. I notice Contact Support, 3D is gone. However new programs
pop up on their own, I don’t mind replacement programs but not new
programs.
