The laptop feels premium and I love the build quality for now. The laptop doesn't feel as snappy as it should for the specs it has. It also needs better temp control.
Pros - Beautiful OLED display, great thermals and incredible specs.
Cons - A bit on the heavier side and not so great battery life (To be expected from a high performance gaming laptop)
After waiting for almost a month for this laptop, I had the keyboard completely fail on me within a week of use. I've used laptops from several brands over the years and I never expected to face this kind of an issue on such a flagship gaming laptop. It's been a hassle waiting for replacement unit and I hope HP can work on preventing such issues in the first place.
I’m a DJ, and like most gamer/workstation laptops , they are not made with the DJ (videos) in mind.
Very difficult to get the video from the USB-C’s to get picked up by the Nvidia GPU if not properly setup before running the software. Forget about using it unplugged or on a dock, the unit practically becomes useless. Everything freezes and or lags, BIG TIME!
Hardware issues I have include the up/down arrow keys being half the size of the other keys and the lack of illumination to the mouse pad. My setups are typically under low to no light areas, and for having so much other illumination on the unit, it is very difficult to see anything or go off of touch to do anything on the pad.
