It can run all my sims games, high graphics demanding cozy games, cod, dbd, and ow2, that’s I’ve tried.
It arrived safely, although I did get a rainbow screen one time but I restarted it and have never seen it again. I bought and received it in February and it’s now April and I love it so far. I’ll update my review if something happens to it within a year.

The thermals, keyboard, touchpad, and other features are good. I think that Lenovos are overheating a lot. Note that HP is a US company and Lenovo is not. This laptop has a decently solid vent on the bottom and it isn’t overheating. The screen is too cold white toned, but I am using the Viture Pro at 120hz 1080p so it doesn’t matter. The speakers are pretty good, on par with like a phone in loudness…. would be great if HP put mouse buttons for the trackpad though. One usb port left, two right, one usbc right, power right, hdmi right, 3.5mm left, fan blows left bottom and back. Performance is good with the 4070 and 64gb ram. Not sure about whether ssd space is expandable since i already have a 4TB drive. Oh and the backlight is just slightly purplish white and the kbd thankfully has F1-12 keys default unmodified press instead of fn keys default. No appskey btws.

the nvda founder’s edition 4070 8 gigs of GDDR6 ram, accelerated ryzen 7, 2 terrabytes of nvme 2.0 hardrive space, 64 gigs of ddr5 ram and the oled screen (144hz) for under 2000$? wow 1600$ is the HP site black friday deal. ive used this for a week and i have yet to see ths laptop get warm, running Cyberpunk at DLSS atialiasing full texture, unlimited frames ray tracing, ultra everything, this runs 2077 at 239 fps or more. this is a sweet piece of hardware. the ada lovelace architecture in the gpu keeps these unit under 80 degrees celsius and thats just the chip, i can barely feel any heat, however when you go into to full render mode, the fan is very efficient and very loud, you can change the settings if you need to keep the fans to a minimum. im super impressed.
side note im glad everything came installe that i wanted i did not want to have to open up another manufacturers seal to implant a bit of ram.
now time to run the living turkey mode out of this beast to try and get a BSOD, im normally really good at maxing out any computer using photoshop while having 20 other apps open then getting into a heated battle of destiny 2 or diablo 4, fallout, starfield, at the same time. my last rig was the HP pavilion 1050 ti the gpu that started it all. it would run, just not everything at the same time. its nice being able to do whatever i want on this beast of a victus and without hinderance. and the load speed, good lord the load speed and the fps is *mwah* chef’s kiss. and the back lit keys…. ok im nerding out on this function, there is a calculator key prompt! a friggin calc prompt! im always needing a calculator, an omen key prompt along with screen brightness and backlight brightness with speaker prompts and video keys. no need to know the windows function prompts.

-btw the 4050 and the 4060s are not the same as the 4070, and the 4080 and 4090 arnt much better for being 1k-2k more, also if your looking at amd radeon, the cpus are great and meant to pair with nvda gpus however their cheapo gpus i would not put my money on unless its for a teenager or younger kid wanting to game, and even then…
we will see the 40 series supers next year but is 2-4 more GDDR6 gigs, plus the time, and premium worth missing this deal? i dont think so. i finally pulled the trigger missing the 3090tis. and im not sorry one bit. this rig is 27% faster than the 3090ti benchmarked. ok cheers.

I bought this laptop in November of 2024.. the laptops 2TB hard drive stopped working and the laptop can’t detect it.. so the laptop is now inoperable. It died February 1st, which was a day after the laptop was eligible for a refund..I contacted HP, the manufacturer, to see if they could help me out with this. They explained to me the problem is that the seller added cheap aftermarket parts and removed the stock items that came with the laptop based on the serial number. So they essentially maxed out the specs voiding out the manufacturer warranty. Do you self a favor and DO NOT BUY ..This is incredibly frustrating I would’ve been better off just building a pc with the specs.

It works exactly as I expected. It plays every game I have tried at 60+ FPS (Most at 100+). The screen looks great. It crunches spreadsheets with no effort and remains pretty quiet while doing so. The only thing is that I wish it had a backlit keyboard, but I knew it didn’t have one when I bought it. That’s more of a thing I didn’t realize I would miss it until I didn’t have it. Overall I’m very happy with my purchase.

Absolute trash. Straight out of the box – the keyboard wouldn’t work. Had to use the accessibility keyboard to even log in.
Then the bloatware. My god. Some of you may remember what it was like in the mid-2000s when you’d get a virus and there would be random popups on your computer? Yeah, like that level of bloatware.
Then the GPU limitations. Allegedly a 4070 with a good processor and 32gb of ram. You want to run a low-intensity game like League on one screen and POE2 in the background on the laptop screen? Too bad. They’re both slideshows at 15-20fps. In fact, you can’t force the laptop screen to render off the RTX if there’s another game running on an external monitor. It forces rendering on the onboard AMD GPU.
With an external wireless keyboard it has severe lag, close to 700ms at times.
Wireless audio is equally bad. Trying to use a headset in Discord and use *the same headset* for a game? Hold it right there partner. PC’s overstimulated.
The nail in the coffin that prompted this review was a lovely blue screen in the middle of a competitive game. Followed by the next game filled with stutters. Mind you not microstutters. Full on screen freezes every 45-60 seconds.
Non-gamers probably couldn’t care less about these issues. But when you’re paying $1.5k+ for a “gaming laptop,” you expect better.
Disappointed in you, HP. Do better.
