HP Wireless Mouse Z4000 - first impressions 
HP Wireless Mouse Z4000 is a compact mouse and it is also quite shiny. Its top part is entirely decided in black (except for the grey HP logo), while the bottom part is grey.

The shiny flat design is not going to suit every taste. Our guess would be that mostly females will like the HP Z4000 mouse better.

The HP Wireless Mouse Z4000 is super light and it is only the two AAA Ni-MH batteries that give it more stable and weighty feel.

HP Wireless Mouse Z4000 - user experience
The Z4000 is a budget mouse so lets set this clear from the very beginning - we wouldn't recommend it for gaming or any design work, This mouse is meant to be ultra-portable and comfortable on the go as it is lightweight and compact in size and these are its key benefits.

HP Wireless Mouse Z4000 is comfortable to use and it pairs relatively fast. All you need to do is insert the wireless USB dongle into your laptop or PC and click on the blue "Connect" button on the bottom of the mouse itself. Then give it some time to pair.

Downsides
There are couple of drawbacks that one needs to consider prior buying the HP Wireless Mouse Z4000 and here are some of our negative observations:
  • It drains the AAA batteries really fast - you need to make sure to turn the mouse off every time it is not in use or it will drain the batteries in quick 3-4 months (on the other mouse I am using I change them once a year at most).
  • Not very comfortable for long use, especially if you have big hands - the mouse is pretty flat so your hand may feel a bit tired after longer use.

HP Wireless Mouse Z4000 price
We believe the official retail price of £25.00 is a fair one and for that price it is definitely a good purchase in 2020.

Thanks for checking our HP Wireless Mouse Z4000 review! Here are couple other mice that we have tested previously and that might be a good alternative of the Z4000:

Lenovo ThinkPad E16 Gen 3 First Look Review: Did They Fix the Flaws?

Lenovo ThinkPad E16 Gen 3: Flaw Fixed, Efficiency Gained Hey everyone, and welcome back! I was excited to finally get my hands on the third generation of the Lenovo ThinkPad E16 . As many of you know, I spent a good amount of time with the Gen 2, and while it was a solid business machine, there were definitely a few things that needed attention. This is my very first look at the Gen 3, and I wanted to share my initial feedback on what’s improved and what hasn’t. The E16 Gen 3 I’m reviewing here is equipped with the Intel Core Ultra 5 processor, shared Intel graphics, and 32GB of RAM.

AIWA RS-55 Review: Retro Style Meets Modern Sensitivity In an era dominated by digital streaming and smart speakers, there is a unique satisfaction in the tactile click of an analog dial. For my latest test, I went back to basics with the AIWA RS-55 AM/FM receiver . AIWA is a legendary Japanese brand, and with the RS-55, they’ve managed to capture a vintage aesthetic without sacrificing the build quality we expect today.

In this review, we compare the latest Gen 3 model against its predecessor, the Gen 2, to see if the upgrades justify the jump. While both are solid, the Gen 3 delivers crucial quality-of-life fixes that make it the far superior option.
