10 Bit Video Editors Rejoice

Finally, we have a thin and light laptop that can edit 10 bit 422 video on a gaming laptop. I've been waiting a long time for this! It works great, and it allows me to game when I want, but also video edit and do work when I need to on a great screen! It's a great option for video editors

This Laptop is really great and performance wise it works like champ, no heat at all, works well with heavy applications like Autocad, Visual studio also works fine with games online and off load games as well!!yet the price is really good compared to other competitors like Lenovo and Dell, coming to the look it is sleep, fancy and modern, we have to appreciate the keyboard styling it can be changed to multiple different colors thought there is no use but its fun to keep changing the laptop to different modes to feel different, this is one of the greatest options

Excellent computer, fast and with a graphics card that meets the needs of 3D CAD projects. Good portability, lightweight, and with good battery life. I've always had Dell computers and decided to switch brands due to recurring hardware issues. So far, I'm very happy with the change.

Despite the low wattage on the 5070 this laptop achieves really nice FPS in a compact shape. The charger is smaller and lighter because of the 140w output what for me makes sense for the small form factor in general. The screen is absolutely perfect and so for I'm pretty happy with what HP delivered.

I had high expectations for this device. Unfortunately, I ended up returning it.
PROS:
Sleek, thin, light and stealthy chassis. Doesn't scream gamer at all and can blend in professional environments.
Great Keyboard. Pudding caps, nice travel and tactile feel.
OLED screen is great. No PWM flicker and colors are crisp and response time is FAST.
Speakers are surprisingly decent despite insufficient bass.
System was stable. No lockups. freezing or BSODs.
CONS:
Battery Life is atrocious. 4 hours MAX. Plus after a single discharge, the batt capacity is reduced 2.7% of its total capacity. 71 wHr is insufficient for an Intel system.
Insufficient cooling solution for the CPU. So high Temps.
Bloated System Control Panel.
No MUX switch.
dGPU is limited to 75W max.
The CONS for me were too overwhelming hence why I returned it.

The small PC is great for those are always in the road. You can handle all games that you throw it as long as you keep it cool so make sure you get that laptop cooler. The screen is perfect. The OLED with a deep contrast made everything pop.

Lightweight, less heating, and quiet. Battery life was good in the beginning (at least up to 5hrs).
seems to drain faster with heavy work unless plugged in. performance is good for light work and heavy work when plugged in.

I love this computer! I’m replacing an iPad Pro 12.9 with it, and it’s about the same size and weight. The only thing it doesn’t have is touchscreen, everything I gain makes it well worth it. It’s super fast, the fans are relatively quiet, and the screen has great color, death, and brightness.

For my first gaming laptop this thing is AMAZING, Everything to the Size and Display to the way it runs games. This laptop is truly one of the best out there, can’t wait to see it handle what I throw at it. If you’re thinking about buying it, DO IT.

transcend 14

I’ve been using the Transcend 14 for a while now, and overall, I really like it.
The screen is bright, sharp, and has great color accuracy — perfect for both work and watching videos.
It’s also surprisingly lightweight for a laptop with this level of performance, so it’s easy to carry around.
The keyboard feels excellent too — responsive, comfortable, and satisfying to type on.
I haven’t had any major issues so far, and it’s been a great daily driver for both productivity and light gaming.

HP OMEN = Pure Power

I recently picked up the HP OMEN from Best Buy, and it’s been an absolute powerhouse. For gaming, the performance is unreal , high FPS, smooth graphics, and zero lag even in demanding titles. The cooling system keeps it running quietly, so I can stay in the zone without worrying about overheating.
For app development, this laptop is a dream. Compiling code, running virtual machines, and multitasking with heavy programs is effortless thanks to its lightning-fast processor and ample RAM. The display is vibrant and sharp, making both game visuals and design work look incredible.
Best Buy made the buying process smooth, and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. The HP OMEN is easily the best investment I’ve made for both work and play. Highly recommended!

Very portable, very fast, overall great purchase. The battery runs out quick, but that is mostly because of its small size for such a powerful laptop.

3rd best on the market right now

this laptop is good at general use, but disappointing as a gaming device. Portability and build quality is good. Speakers are crap. Screen is gorgeous, battery life is just okay. If you are a casual or light gamer, it will handle anything on the market right now, but with subpar FPS. The stock undervolting prevents the GPU from going full power and will be obsolete in roughly a year.

A compact powerhouse. Ultrafast processor, excellent graphics, excellent battery life on the go. Its a great machine.
The only draw back will be is the network you are using, if it cant keep up.

I purchased this laptop to use for self-hosted AI using OLLAMA. I have been quite happy with the performance of the models executing via a docker container on the HP Omen. The NVIDIA RTX 5070 defiant meets my needs for this application.
I really like the screen size and portability. The build quality is solid and feels reliable.
The power brick is massive so you may consider a less powerful machine if you travel a lot. This is not a concern if you will keep your power pric (ac adapter) at your desk.

For my Tween

Bought this for my pre-teen son. He loves to game on all the typical tween games- Roblox, teardown, and call of duty- not the newest ones but ones like MW and MW2. Plus, he needed a good, reliable computer for home use since he didn’t have one and I didn’t want him to rely on the school’s provided one. So, this one was lightweight, met all his needs, and we got it on sale and used the 0% interest option on the store credit card I’ve had for 20+ years now. He loves it; it’s quick, portable, and has enough ports to plug in anything from mouse to hdmi monitor. No ethernet cable port, but who even needs that anymore for a laptop? Love it!

Needed a laptop in a very short timeframe. While there wasnt immediate supply of a laptop i may have wanted more in lebanon nh, the worker was very helpful and knowledgeable in getting me a laptop and headphones that fit my price point snd needs. The laptop itself has some weird glitches of black screening for like 4 seconds every so often which might be linked to graphics switching? But it doesnt have other issues and otherwise fits the bill of a lightweight laptop that is very flexible in its use cases.

One of the best computer i have purchase in a very long time. I am an engineer major and this couldn’t have been any better for the programming i had to instal on it. Great memory capacity with its own built in fan and so comfortable to fit in my side bag for school. Battery life last a very long time and very quick with no glitch. Highly recommended
