Do you have other options available?
For laptops HP is a *really bad* choice. The company uses digital
restrictions on the mini pcie slot to prevent you from using third party
cards. I would *highly* suggest avoiding HP, Dell, Lenovo, Toshiba, Apple,
and Sony for this or similar reasons.
At the moment I believe most other companies are not implementing these
restrictions and therefore you can probably get a free software friendly wifi
card to replace it.
I'd also advise avoiding Skylake. Go with Broadwell or Haswell as the
graphics in these systems will have free software friendly graphics.
There are some other things to consider, but it's going to be near impossible
to determine without actually having the laptop in your hands, and testing
it.
