HP - Pavillion 16.1" Gaming Laptop - Intel Core i5 - 8GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti - 512GB SSD + 32GB Optane - Shadow Black

I love my computer no issues whatsoever other then the keyboard keys starting to fade on one side of keyboard but nothing miner tho and battery is low when gaming but that wbu gaming computer just plug it up and game I guess so ur game won’t go out on you

I recently sold my gaming PC and went for this laptop as a means of being more portable with my gaming and streaming and I am absolutely loving this laptop. The specs are perfect for what I do. The processor is clocked a little lower than I would prefer, but the 10th Gen i5 makes easy work of streaming, browsing, gaming, and anything else you'll be using this laptop for. For graphics, the 1660 Ti is a FANTASTIC piece of hardware to have inside of this laptop. Some games you will have to turn down graphical settings to reach the 100+ FPS to take full advantage of the 144hz panel (MW/Warzone being a prime example). However, for other titles like the Master Chief Collection it easily tears past 150 FPS on the original graphics settings. The only downside for this machine would be the amount of RAM it comes with in the box. 8 GB is plenty for older titles, but if you want to have multiple applications and a game open at the same time, you'll need to upgrade. I recently upgraded to 16 GB but have not tried it out in any games as of writing this review. Overall, I would DEFINITELY recommend this laptop! It's a fantastic first gaming machine and an even better portable alternative to a gaming desktop.

Have had the machine for a couple weeks now and have been really loving it. Overall this machine has been great. Note to those looking to expand memory, both the nvme m.2 and the 2.5” are being used and the RAM slots are both filled with 4GB cards. The sata Drive is the main SSR and m.2 Drive is used for the optane. It is probably easiest to upgrade the m.2. All things considered I really like this machine.

I was on a budget and needed to upgrade fast. Luckily I came across this beast and for the price it is a steal. So far its capable of handling anything I throw at it whether it’s music producing, multitasking or gaming. The battery life isn’t too great. I tend to keep it plugged in when producing or gaming but overall for the price, graphics card and upgradeable memory, you really can’t go wrong. It’s a baby HP Omen

I’m surprised how at how awesome and fast this laptop has been. I play a lot of first person shooter competitively and it runs perfectly for it. The 144hz looks awesome and it performs just as well on an external monitor. I put 16GB RAM and an additional 1Tb ssd. It’s super quick and boots fast. HP also has a great warranty on it for a year.

Excellent design. A bit heavy as compared to any 15.6" machine but having a 16.1" display sharped with 300+ nits and 144Hz is worth it to be 0.52 Lb more.

Got this laptop since I finally decided to join the pc master race. I'm satisfied with it, even with the 8gb of ram the pc boots up super quick, it is able to handle games at 1080p hitting the 60 fps. Honestly I love it, I swapped out the 8gb of ram for 16gb now this rig handles like a dream. My one pet peave that seems irrelevant is the fan, it tends to make a whirring noise now and again but with my head set and the cooling fan stand on It gets drowned out. Good starter rig.

Love it!!!! Amazing quality for the price!! Definitely recommend
