...Saens’s “Piano Concerto No. 2,” featured a 13-year-old soloist, George Li, who has already toured around the world. Li’s playing was spectacular. Sitting at the bench, his feet barely reaching the pedals, he commanded the keyboard like a professional, with dazzling technical ability and power.The virtuosic writing did not hinder Li’s musicality, as he expressed dark, haunting melodies in the first movement.

As with most HP business-class computers, you get a slate of useful little features, like a teeny LED night-light at the top of the screen that pops out to illuminate your keyboard, minimizing spousal irritation. A fingerprint reader allows you to bypass password protection and log in to the laptop, or even to websites, with a thumb swipe.
