    This is a great affordable gaming laptop. My old one couldn't handle even things like steam. Loads quick, and is very quiet! handles other heavy non-gaming programs with ease, very satisfied, had it for a while, so far no problems, no overheating issues, charges fast and battery lasts a while. Very happy, great option!

    Decent build quality and very fast. Runs Most newer games very well between high and ultra settings. The 16in display is a nice size and the picture quality is overall very good. If you’re looking for a gaming computer under $1000 this is probably your best option.

    I have been using this laptop for a few weeks and absolutely love it! I have played a couple of solo games off of Steam and other services as well several online, multi-players and this laptop has stood up to all of them with no issues aside from my own wi-fi limitations. A few features I particularly appreciate. Lightweight. I was worried that a gaming laptop would be bulkier and weighty but this one is neither. It is a sleek design and lightweight making it easy to use anywhere. Keyboard feels tactile to me. I like keyboards that have a bit of a "click" feel to them. This keyboard gives me that feel without having a loud auditory click to go with it. Speakers on top. I know in many cases this is not a big deal. But for me, I occasionally use this as a "lap" top. I have had computers in the past where the speakers were on the bottom, front end of the machine and when I have it in my lap, all of the sound becomes frustratingly muffled if I am not using headphones. With the speakers on top of this machine I do not have that experience which is excellent!

    This has been a solid performing and reasonably priced laptop. The only feature I miss from another HP laptop that was junk is the fingerprint reader. But this one starts quickly due to the SSD, has enough memory for my needs, a decent keyboard and screen.

    I love this laptop! I had originally gotten a Lenovo for gaming and the charger lasted a day, but this laptop runs smooth as can be even when I'm slaying at diablo 3 with my friends while bumping bangers on Spotify. It has never once lagged, frozen or otherwise since I've had it.

    Great for my every day and gaming use. The only thing I don't enjoy about it is the battery dies quickly. It's almost enough of a problem to make me wish i got the Omen. I also use it for work for Graphic Design and Social Media Management. Besides battery life... worth it

    Great Computer, I use it for work with Autocad. Will need to add in additional RAM. But definitely worth the purchase. The Graphics are great it is very smooth. I have yet to use it for any light gaming. Since this is used for work the size and 9 numeric key pad work very well.

    I really loved this computer except I got a faulty battery which can happen with any device. I'm returning it to get a new one because it doesn't last more than hour. This has its own troubleshooting steps, virtual chat agents that were helpful, graphics are awesome

    Love this laptop. I’ve had it for over a year (I think more like 2+ but can’t be sure) and it still works well. I did mess the battery up so it needs to stay plugged in more often than it should but that was user error plain and simple.

    I purchased this for a 13 year old's 13th birthday. Solid performance specially in Roblox, Minecraft and other games the 13 year old plays. Large and bulky power supply though. The cooling fan spins up high more often than I would prefer.

    Amazing Laptop. Speed as well as great Graphics. I liked this version of HP Pavilion so well - I bought three of them. Don't like the memory it comes with ? Just upgrade when you get it or order it prior to delivery. Highly Recommend

    Purchased for my 12 year old son for gaming. He is in love with it. My only complaint is that it seems to be a bit quirky - won't always wake when opening the lid, requires a reboot. All in all, it runs great for what he needs & was a good bang for the price.

    I initially was drawn to this laptop for the price but I was blown away by the performance. The body is plastic and the battery doesn't last very long but if you can overlook those details it's a great buy. I also added ram, and upgraded the hard drive to a 1 tb.

    The 1660ti GPU wallops a punch! I did not expect it to be as good as it was. It can play everything thrown at it so far on high settings! It was well worth the money! I do not regret this purchase and am happy with it.

    All the people who made cons on this laptop are either brand bandwagoners. Listen, I don't care what brand a laptop is, as long as I get my hard earned moneys worth. Don't listen to stupid reviews. I bought this for 900 + 50 dollar 16gb laptop memory. Now it has 20gb of ram. Beast. Its moveable and a perfect desktop replacement. Beast in small package. One thing each I can say about this laptop. Pros: they got the cooling right on this. Cons: I though the speakers were soft, but you just gotta pump it max on the equalizer. So no cons....

    So I bought this for CAD and specifically so I could play my games like Doom Eternal with me places and this machine preforms very well. For the price I found it well worth it and the 144Hz display is amazing. Overall 10/10.
