    Overall a pretty good gaming laptop. I’m running Call of Duty: Cold War on ultimate settings in 1920x1080 with an awesome 90-110 FPS. It runs everything I need flawlessly. It’s only the 16Gb Memory which I’m going to upgrade to the 64Gb kit and add a bigger m.2 storage drive. Other than that it’s a good gaming laptop for the price.

    I use this laptop as a 'desktop'. I have my external monitor and peripherals connected to it. I have absolutely no complaints with it, I get very good fps in BFV and Valorant. I rate it 5/5 unless something happens with the hardware, it is all I need.

    My only gripe is every now and then it will overheat and then the fan goes to ludicrous speed. It's only happened 3 times in the 10 mo. I've had it, but other than that, I've had no other issues and has performed as advertised.

    I've owned this laptop for a little over a week and I've found it to be very reliable, with the right amount of power in the right places. It's very good for its price point, and my only minor gripe with it is that the battery life is a little bit on the shorter side. Otherwise, works very well.

    Impressive laptop with a incredible graphics card . I usually don’t buy gaming laptops and stick with building my own desktop PCs ., but this laptop really does pack a lot of performance in a small package . I do like that it has an auto feature that switches between its standard graphics card and the RTX (which extends battery life when using the pc for non-gaming tasks). I did see some of the comments about the sharp corners of the laptop, and I now understand what they mean, when typing the corners of the laptop are pointy enough to dig into my wrists. This is also a heavy laptop , compared to my MacBook, it’s very noticeable when carrying it . I wouldn’t hesitate on getting this over Alienware or MSI , it has all the performance in a low profile design (it doesn’t look like a Christmas tree with exterior RGB) I actually prefer my PC looking somewhat normal on the outside to not draw attention.

    The laptop does meet the expectation. The booting is fast, keys have decent travel and speakers are good. The RTX does the job delivering good graphics for 144 hz screen. Overall its a great pic if you are a casual gamer!

    The computer is excellent, quite fast and the keyboard is great. However, the trackpad feels a bit cheap, and it's annoying to use due to it's low distance to the lower bezel.

    Satisfactory with poor build quality

    Powerful and runs well with some big title games. Build quality is the main reason this is not a 5 star review, as the trackpad rattles and makes loud rattle noises with gentle taps. This is a known defect in these laptops and has been ongoing for multiple years. This is unacceptable from HP and needs to be addressed. The laptop could have been more compact for its price, making it slightly overvalued. Otherwise, this is a decent product that will do a good job delivering the performance needed for gaming.

    Excellent laptop! Just get it without a thought. For a gaming laptop the weight is way less and I would suggest to anyone who wants to get a good budget working + gaming laptop.

    Decent with some downsides

    Pros: Great screen. Fast cpu. Decent 3060 gpu. Uogradable memory and additional ssd slot. Cons: Screen did flicker a couple of times. From videos, the bottom cover and battery disconnection are not easy to handle if you plan to upgrade components inside. Screen flex is a bit worrisome. Though since this is a plastic display and not glass, the chances of screen getting damaged from the flex during travel is very very low. The only two reports of screen damage were from a 4k glass display version. Of the two, one was not permanent and was cleaned off. The other one was permanenet but hp replaced it under warranty. Not bad for a lower mid range laptop. Not a fan of the power button being part of the keyboard. If you dont want the geeksquad warranty (i wont because they actually will try to repair components on the board themselves), go for the hp customer care extension. Only downside is you have ro mail it to them. But any systemboard repairs are done offsite for both options.
