    I only had this for a year and the motherboard decided to die and I did absolutely nothing to it. It was a nice laptop but this is frankly unacceptable

    Extremely Disappointed with this Gaming Laptop

    I recently purchased this gaming laptop from Best Buy, and my experience has been nothing short of frustrating. The first unit I received had a non-functional camera right out of the box. I tried all the troubleshooting steps suggested by the representatives, including a hard reset, factory reset, BIOS update, and even a cloud recovery system provided by HP, but nothing worked. I ended up returning the laptop and got a replacement. The replacement worked fine for the first 2-3 days, but then it started having issues with a black screen. When I connected it to an external monitor, I could see the display, but it was extremely slow and laggy. The mouse would not work properly, making it nearly impossible to use. I tried all the troubleshooting steps again but the problem persisted. I’m extremely disappointed with this product and will be returning it soon. It’s disheartening to see such poor quality and reliability from HP, especially considering the effort and time I’ve invested in trying to resolve these issues. This experience has been a huge letdown, and I absolutely do not recommend this laptop.

    Got this thing expecting great value for the price. It was on sale for 899. Turned it on and the first game I played I noticed i was getting roughly 60fps at 1080p. So i looked at gpu utilization and it was stuck at around 40%. I check out the power settings. Locked to balanced power saving. Tried about 40 differnet options could not get this thing to to go above 70% gpu utilization. Decided to try out a different laptop with a 4070 as a sanity check. It was getting 100fps at 4k where this thing was strugling to brake that at 1080p.

    I will update this review as i get more info about the actual issue but after a hour of online texh support from geek squad i eas told that there is no wifi drivers for the version of windows that i have right out of the box. Very confusing because the Bluetooth works fine but absolutely no WiFi and after troubleshooting they couldnt find drivers for the version of wifi card in the laptop at the HP software support site dose not have drivers for windows 11 version 24H2 that comes pre installed on my laptop i will update tlin a few days after i take it to the store and exchange it but first impressions are pretty bad that there is no support for wifi on a brand new PC

    Imbalanced Components + Too Many Locked Features

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Pros: - Mid range CPU and GPU at a fair price - 144Hz Display - Slick design Cons: - Very small SSD (I had to upgrade it). - 16 GB RAM sometimes too small (I had to upgrade it) AND experienced faulty modules early on (had to exchange). - Poor cooling system, fans are locked and only function automatically. Some games, specifically using UE5, will crash if not cooled externally. - Weak chassis, USB port shattered after one trip in a backpack. - Limited upgradeability. Only one SSD slot for storage, with a cap of 64GB RAM. - Locked BIOS/UEFI settings. Cannot change RAM speeds, cannot overclock, cannot disable shared memory even when iGPU is disabled. - Some screws inside are stripped and too tight. Your mileage can vary. - Typical HP bloatware. Conclusion: If you are not looking to upgrade your future laptop in the future and don't take it around a ton of places, it's a fair fit. For tech-savvy individuals, there are better options.

    Graphics are smooth and fluid. Upgraded to 2TB SSD and 64 GB ram and it runs flawless. Only flaw is Battery life is short when running high setting games, but great if you are not running games on battery.
