Got this Open Box Excellent for basically half price. Received the laptop in one day and in perfect condition. Couldn't even tell it had been powered on. Ran benchmarks right out of the box, and this is a powerful machine with a beautiful screen! If the somewhat underpowered GPU bothers you, then you should probably skip this laptop. Alternatively, you could purchase it, try it out in some games, and see how you like it within the return period. I was amazed that this HP scored in the 92nd percentile of all PassMark systems tested, and higher than 92% of all Novabench systems tested (see screenshots). That includes desktop PCs and multi-CPU servers that have been tested by those benchmarking programs. The 32GB of RAM is soldered in, so no upgrade is possible there, unless you know what you're doing. There is a possibility of vbios swapping in the near future that could increase the maximum GPU wattage from 75 to possibly 90-100 watts. Online videos discuss vbios swapping. A 16-core Intel chip, 32GB of RAM, RTX 5070, an all-metal case inside and out, a 3K OLED screen — there's a lot to like about this laptop, especially if you can find it for a significant discount on Black Friday or through Open Box.

[Employee of bestbuy] Great computer with a compact and lightweight design, perfect for students like me who want to study and game on the go. The OLED display is my favorite feature, offering vibrant colors and sharp image quality. Performance is excellent for both school work and gaming, though it can be a little pricey for some budgets.

This laptop has been a game changer for mobile gaming. I have played a few modern titles including: lies of P, Elden ring, solo leveling, and Clair obscur. Also, I am a PhD candidate in biochemistry and I have used it extensively for writing. The keyboard is superior to previous Macbooks I have owned. Wow. I love this laptop so much. My only critique is that battery life is a bit short even when doing daily, normal non-gaming tasks.

Overall, a big fan of this computer so far. My only concern, which I knew before I bought it, was the lack of an Ethernet Port, but I use a docking station, so this isn't a bid deal for me. It is very quiet and powerful, allows me to play most games on high settings. I bought this when it was on sale during Memorial Day; highly recommended.

I bought it open box for just over $1300, which I find a great value. It doesn't heat up under load and the battery lasts almost all day in the integrated graphic card mode. It feels premium and sturdy while light as well. I love the usbc charging. The display is gorgeous. What I would change is the two usba slots on the right side - I'd happily trade them for another usbc.
