I bought this laptop and it came in defective, the screen just did not work and it also had a gap between the screen and the case on the bottom part of the screen. Despite the screen not working it booted up and Cortana, basically the Siri of Microsoft, still let me get a bit into setting it up. Naturally I returned it and am going to receive a new one. Despite my troubles, HP is a solid company (every company will have defects and I honestly believe it was the weather change during delivery that broke the screen rather than HP problems, just hope you don't get unlucky like I did). HP is a great company, that created a great product for gamers everywhere for a reasonable price (reasonable by gaming standards). If you want a comparable product from any other suppliers gaming lineup, be prepared to spend quite a bit more. Despite the price comparison to others, the components are great, and in a good looking case to tie it all together. The HP Command Center is pretty user friendly too for the less tech savvy of undervolting and overclocking type of things and just want a good rig to game on (either as a desktop replacement or a computer on the go).

Purchased this laptop for my girlfriend. It met all of the specs we were looking for, RAM and Video card plus a 17” screen. This laptops performance is awesome and it looks cool! One aspect to be aware of is to make sure the physical dimensions work for you. This is a “hefty” laptop.

Quick, sturdy, nice design, easy to use. Very happy with my purchase so far

My husband loves this laptop. It's on the bigger side but he doesn't seem to mind. It has a bigger screen so he can see things well. He also says it has great resolution and good speed. I like how you can set the keyboard to display different colors.

Just love this laptop....looks, performance, resolution everything top notch.
