I switched jobs to a small startup, and could choose the laptop model for the first time
Bought the latest generation HP Elitebook G11 to try something else than Lenovo that had crappy trackpads due to the nibble
It has been a disaster in terms of software/BIOS:
* The mic cut off my voice when I was speaking all the time
* The CPU clocked down to ~300 MHz and got stuck there
* External display would not work if I disconnected, came back 30-60 min later, and reconnected. Had to hibernate inbetween
* The display would suddenly dim and be impossible to change
I think all these issues resolved itself with some firmware update released last week, and today I discovered there's an "HP Audio Control" app that by default is set to "conference mode" and "AI noise reduction"
Now I only need to get the built-in 5G modem to work
Would have gotten a Microsoft Surface model, but the selection is very slim in Norway
