HP Pavilion Gaming 15-inch Laptop, AMD Ryzen 5 4600H, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650, 8GB RAM, 512 GB PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD

Runs most games I throw at it pretty well. I played Cyberpunk 2077, Resident Evil 2 remake, and Resident Evil Village pretty well. Keep in mind though that you'll need to bump down the graphics settings in very graphically intense games like Cyberpunk and RE Village; if you're looking for a machine that can run those games at the very highest settings you'll definitely need to shell out a few hundred more dollars. Everyday use is quick also. I always have a million Chrome tabs open and this PC takes it like a champ. No issues there. The screen is pretty nice as well. Gets more than bright enough for every indoor situation I've thrown at it and it's sharp enough. However, I have yet to take it outside (and I don't plan on it), so I don't know if it gets bright enough to overcome direct sunlight. The IO array should be alright for most people. It's got two USB type A's (one on each side), an HDMI port, an ethernet port, one USB type C (which apparently you can use to charge the laptop, though I haven't tested it), a headphone jack, and an SD card reader, which is much appreciated. The speakers are alright to my untrained ears. They're not insanely bassy but they're also not super tinny. They're plenty loud and easy to hear in most situations, but occasionally I do find myself using a Chrome extension to force the volume louder on softer YouTube videos, so keep that in mind. The only thing I can really complain about is battery life. It's not great. Using power saving mode, I was only able to get a few hours of light work done on Chrome. If you need something portable with a battery that will last you an entire day, this ain't it. At all. Overall, I don't regret my purchase. It's powerful enough to run most games at at least medium settings, it has a nice screen, a really nice keyboard, a good trackpad, and is enjoyable to use on the day to day. Just keep in mind that the battery life isn't good. If what you're looking for a powerful budget gaming laptop that you plan on keeping connected to a wall and just want the convenience of being able to move it around the house, then this might be the laptop for you.

This laptop is so good, for YouTube, regular internet use, and casual single player games, this is an absolute steal. The FPS for those kinds of games is just phenomenal, I can easily run over 60 FPS. I would also recommend using a mouse, as the track pad isn't the best for games. One thing I noticed is that this laptop isn't great for games like Genshin Impact, as it has some lag on default medium graphics, but it's not unbearable. But overall for the price, I can't complain. This laptop is one of the best for gamers who don't want to spend a lot of money.

the photos on the site dont match the actual laptop. the laptop i received was a different model. other than that, its a good gaming laptop, though it needs to be plugged in with big games like skyrim, fallout, and any vr games, even after i upgraded the ram to 16. the battery runs for around 3 hours unless your running something like a game in which case it will turn off in around 1h to 30m depending on how beefy the program is. when it runs out, if you plug it back in it starts as if all you did was close the laptop, so your unsaved stuff will still be there. the screen is pretty dimmed, which it fine with me as i dont like bright screens. but if you take it outside or you like to use it in the light then the highest setting might not be enough. (its about as bright as my old laptops lower middle brightness setting) this laptop is also pretty heavy... the keyboard light comes in handy in the dark, but its tricky to activate it in the dark. you cannot change the light to another color, its only green, and there are 3 modes (bright, dim, and off) ended up paying 100$ more that the "other" option but works & runs vr like i wanted.

Perfect for gaming.

My pavilion Gaming HP laptop I bought on February 2021 and so far it has been a great asset for writing documents and legal forms. I use it to maintain my zoom meetings and to travel with when meeting clients. I am not a gamer but a close friend who is a tech recommended me this laptop and so far i have no major gripes about it. Now for the cons, 8GB of memory Ram i hear is to low and you should have minimum 16 or 32 GB and you should be awesome. For my next one definitely touch screen is a must...

I upgraded the memory to 16GB with a matching Samsung stick, 1 slot is empty. And I added a 2TB HDD for storage, very easy to do. The performance is great now considering the price and all I've put in it. The few games that I tried like Forza 4, Doom Eternal, Project Cars, Jedi: Fallen Order work at 60FPS with high/Ultra settings. The screen is not great, colors are a bit muted and contrast is low. It is as I expected at this pricepoint. I do gaming on it via HDMI out to a TV. Very fast for an everyday laptop even if you don't plan on gaming on it. Highly recommended

been using this laptop as my daily driver for some months now, i immediately addded an extra 8gb of ram and a 1tb ssd. so far so good. great performer , been able to get at leat 60fps in most games with a mix of medium to high settings , no ultra here. the 4600h is great for gaming and light video editing , the gtx1650 perfectly fine for medium to high graphics, the one issue that i do have with this laptop is the poor viewing angles of the screen and the battery life is not impressive, that said these are acceptable trade offs for this level of performance at this price point.

Really nice laptop. Great for gaming. Super fast , great picture, beautiful keyboard. Kind of costly but it was a gift my Grandson wanted for a very long time. So lesson learned. I should have bought it when it was on sale for $250.00 instead of paying over $800.00. I think I can say it is worth the price I paid.
