Product: Pavilion 17-ab080no (X3L27EA)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

In search of a new HP laptop I am getting increasingly frustrated over lack of consistency re product specifications from retailer and HP. The HP in question (see above, X3L27EA) is referred to by the retailer as having only a 10/100 network card and not a backlid keyborad. However looking at the US data sheet a 10/100/1000 network card is listed as well as a backlid keyborad. HP Denmark referred to the US data sheet, but the retailer stick to their data.

Does anyone in the forum know which source of info is most reliable? It is not possible for me to see the laptop physically at the retailer, so I hesitate to purchase without confidence re specs.

Re the Danish HP homepage I find it strange that about alle their new laptops are listed as having not ac wifi (only up to n), which I find hard to believe in the year of 2016 for a modern HP laptop with Skylake processors.

Thanks in advace for any feedback.

Hi,

 

The following link shows its specs:

 

   http://support.hp.com/in-en/product/hp-pavilion-17-ab000-notebook-pc-series/10862170/document/c05194...

 

Retailers normally use official specs UNLESS they "cook" the machine (you know what I mean). I don't believe they would do this.

 

Regards.
