Be aware that if you want to up grade the primary SSD1 by yourself you have to remove the entire heat sink that covers the cpu and gpu then clean and put new approved heat sink compound back on after you just wanted to change the ssd1, ssd2 is un unobstructed and is a peace of cake to work with
It is a very excellent laptop and worth the money. Surprisingly, it is very good with cooling, especially since laptops are not known for that. No need for any overclocking as it has very good performance and details.
Great big screen gaming laptop. Easily upgradable (ram and ssd). The performance is as expected. The touch pad is responsive and the keyboard is comfortable to use and not too loud. Overall I am very satisfied with this buy.
Its a love hate right now. The laptop needs something done as it runs too hot when gaming. I am getting 200f/93c on the cpu, with a cooling pad. I am getting thermal throttling in games. Even professional reviews online say the same thing. Several have swapped the hp thermal paste for real liquid metal and it lowered temps 10+ c. I won't do that since it voids the warranty. I personal think HP should allow people to send it back and they replace the thermal material for real liquid metal for free.
My only complaint with the design is trackpad is cheap. I want a larger glass track pad for this price.
