Horrible laptop chassis creak on the entire right side. Supposed to be their most premium build, but the flexing and creaking is a massive issue. HP support told me it was normal. Avoid.
Well built. I definitely recommend the larger battery. Even with the bigger battery i get around 8 hours of battery life while doing class work. Heavy load can drain the battery in 2 hours. Gaming performance for your $ is a 90/100(was bought on a sale). Most games will run solid 60+ fps on 1080p ultra settings. It is relatively light weight for a laptop with a 3060. The charger is unfortunately larger and heavier then desires and definitely adds weight to the back-pack. I am definitely happy with my purchase and think I got a good deal with the sale. I would not recommend this to anyone on a tight budget. I also wish their was a numb-pad instead of a calculator button.
So far so good! I've been able to run any game I've wanted to play with high to max settings and still get a very smooth experience, so i'm enjoying what I have right now. Upgrading the ram wasn't a hassle either and I plan to add more storage in the next few days. Overall, it's a good laptop, but you could probably find one that can do the same for less.
Overall anemic performance compared to what I was expecting, due to only 16GB of ram (planning to upgrade). It is lightweight and has a clear screen. Purchased on sale, so it is a decent value. Benchmarks well with high end video setting, although cooling fans are loud under load.
This laptop is so amazing. The performance and graphics are exactly what I needed for gaming and streaming my content out to the world. I am a content creator and this gives me the performance that I needed. It is also a very beautiful machine. The white is so classic and clean looking.
I'm enjoying gaming on this laptop. The graphics card switch automatically between the NVIDIA and the Intel perfectly. The light keyboard is very helpful to see all the keys. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase and hope this laptop lasts me the 10 years my previous one did.
Custom build with the highest HP offered upgrades available for this laptop. Excellent for the moderate gamer and anything else the average user would need. My only complaint is that it runs a little hot, but I expected that with the upgrades I chose. I put it on a cooling fan base when gaming which seemed to help.
