Great gaming laptop for the price!
Ive had this laptop for about 2 weeks now. I was nervous buying this because theres so many mixed reviews, but here is my pros and cons and honest opinion (coming from someone who only plays sims and gta5). Ive watched so many Youtube reviews and read so many comments and amazon reviews so it was a very thought out purchase lol. It really has good graphics and runs everything smoothly. Loading times are under 10 seconds no matter what game I am playing. Ive never had a gaming laptop before so i really did my research before buying, and i love this laptop. Light up keyboard, Non flimsy screen (because some people were stating that it wobbles but i dont have a problem with that). battery life does really well and also charges conveniently. All of the features like windows 11 and just the keyboard set up on the laptop is a1 in my opinion. Comes with Omen and Nvidia which just helps you game better. lots of perks with EA and omen discounts steam discounts etc etc. Laptop set up was super simple, downloading apps and things are super easy and fast. I can run my sims game in the background while i google something or watch youtube videos so the ram is nice and i got the 8gb which i was doubting it would be enough ram but its plenty. same for gta5. if youre a casual gamer and still want to have a laptop for day to day basis/ school, i would recommend. i have plenty of storage so far as well. i think it came with 600 gb?? i have about 1000 mods/cc for sims alone with gta and still have a good 500gb left if not more. has bluetooth which i really love to connect my airpods and xbox controller to it. they said it came with an alexa but i havent yet found it or even bothered to look as theres so much to discover when using this and setting up. theres only one or two things ive noticed that i dont like about this laptop but its nothing to not make me buy the laptop again if needed. i noticed your fingerprints are very likely to show all over this laptop lol. outside, mouse pad, screen. lol. nothing to crazy youll just need to wipe often. another thing is the fan is very loud when you have games running. it was noticeable at first because my old laptop wasnt like that but its only because your laptop is processing graphics etc at such a fast pace which is a good thing. i got used to the sound quickly. and the last thing is the mouse pad gets stuck. when i click too much or too hard when gaming it gets pushed down and will get stuck. longest its lasted was like probably less than 5 minutes. just little bit annoying but you can still tap and use mouse any other ways. overall, im really happy with this purchase. its my first gaming laptop let alone brand new out the box and im satisfied with it.

It's really really good.
As the title suggets, it just works splendidly. Whether I'm gaming, editing, surfing the web it does it all quick&smooth. The 15.6 inch screen is wide enough to enjoy anything you watch plus it has a very HD display; everything looks gorgeous. It runs essentially all games made upto 2022 but the high end ones you do need to tweak the settings a lot (expected for the price tag). Heating is also excellently managed which many laptops fail to achieve. I haven't seen temp. rise above 60° C while playing. As for negatives screen brightness is too dim & battery depletes waaayy too quick. You will not get more than 1-2 hours of gaming without battery. Ultimately for the 660$ I got this for I definitely I definitely came out on top. It's totally worth buying if you're a busy student like myself that can't spend too much money but still want high quality all purpose laptop.

Good but...
So far its a good laptop i mainly use to play games such as Valheim, State of Decay 2, Albion Online, Resident Evil Village, Fallout 76 and various other. And it plays them amazingly, it does warm up honestly but nothing a good laptop fan cant fix. My only issues is the fact it only had two usb ports which i didnt notice and ive had to buy a usb extension because its so difficult to plug and unplug the usb. and since im afraid to damage the usb entrance i bought that instead. My second issue was during its first update the laptop locked up with locker bit or something like that where i spent an hr figuring out the windows product code and what not. Other than those two things the laptop has been working fine and with no issues, but if you plan to plug in various items like a headset, a controller, a mouse and something more you're gonna need an extension.

Awesome laptop; shoddy display
This laptop gets 5 stars from me because the value outweighs the shoddy display. You can play pretty much any AAA title at 60 FPS medium/high, and 60FPS is all you will need with the built in display. At medium settings connected to my external display I usually average around 170 fps in most titles, medium settings. Would highly recommend this computer to someone who wants a good budget computer without all the frills. I use it mostly as my international travel gaming laptop, which is a perfect use case as it is cheap, reliable, and very snappy.

Good Specs But Horrible Cheap TN Screen Falsely advertised as IPS.
I bought this laptop and everything was was good except the cheap TN screen. Its just horrible especially for this price at $700. The screen just ruins the whole laptop. You would expect a better screen. I seen better screens on $300 laptops. The screen has really bad view angles, even with it positioned towards you, the colors and everything was washed out. HP should be ashamed to put a screen like that on this "gaming laptop". The advertisment says it has a IPS screen it is NOT. Its a cheap TN panel. I returned it.

I thought the reviews were BS, but nah this good
I genuinely do not understand where the negative reviews are coming from because this is a steal of a laptop. The battery lasts up to like 4-5 hours when not on charge, the screen does go up to 144Hz, the RTX runs really well, and it does have an extra RAM slot so you can change them out. Oh also, the laptop is made of that "not very cheap" plastic which makes it by far the most durable PC I've ever had. Though I am going to still be careful with it of course. I would say that my only criticism would be that the bottom was INCREDIBLY hard to take off which would make it very difficult for repairs, cleaning, and changing hardware. I had to be very gentle at removing it for almost an hour for it to come undone. OH ALSO thank you to whoever decided to put normal Philips head screws on the bottom cause the last 2 laptops I had, had these star shaped ones which were very very annoying. Edit: It has been a bit longer since and I am still rather happy with this laptop. Though I do have a gripe about the keyboard. Ever since I got it, sometimes the laptop will slow down to a very very slow speed (Which is not the end of the world for me, but it is annoying for about 2 minutes) and I cannot seem to find why it is doing it. Other than that, everything is running pretty good and I am still satisfied. Thank you :3

I was tempted to buy this laptop cause there were mixed reviews but i watched so much reviews for this gaming laptop on youtube and it’s pretty good so I bought it.This laptop is really good it can handle games like csgo,valorant,and games like that and when you play games make sure you plug in your laptop cause it will give your best performance!battery life is pretty bad but its ok!

Best bang for your buck!
Before I got this I did some very extensive research on what laptop I should buy, I was thinking about buying a couple other laptops but thought well why not, if I’m spending so much money I might as well get a gaming laptop. This laptop’s specs are great! Don’t worry about the 8gb RAM you can easily upgrade that yourself for quite cheap and the RTX 3050 It comes with will play just about any game out there! I’ve played R6S, Skyrim, Arma 3, and GTA V RP with no problem at all! A couple of my friends have gaming laptops and they payed over 1K for theirs while I only paid in the 600 range and my laptop outperforms theirs. It’s a great deal!
