After doing a lot of research including hitting up tech TH-cam channels including your review, I ended up buying the HP Omen 17-CB0080NR. I have had it for a few weeks now and I have to say, I am impressed. It is not only fast and capable of some of the smoothest graphics I have seen on a laptop. The upgrade capability is immense and easy. Thank you for this video, It was very helpful in my decision making process!!!
And know that this is your case. I had heating problems like many others, but fixed them. And my complains are the screen brightness - too dark for bright environment and speakers volume and quality is quite bad. Everything else is great xD
this laptop is great. I own the version with G-SYNC and 2070 and no complains what so ever. It is dead silent when normal computing and, on balanced mode, is the most silent machine I have ever encountered (had asus msi and acer and all of them are under this one). Temps: with balanced which keeps noise levels down and at the same time fan speed, you get a max of 75 degrees on cpu and rarely spikes to 86 degrees for 2-3 seconds then drops instantly back to 76 aprox. GPU sits well on temps on this cooling solution. On max cooling there is some noise, not too disturbing but man...temps are incredible...while gaming you get 65 degrees on cpu and gpu about 60. FPS very good and stable, display looks amazing and not much light bleed to consider. This laptop is the best you can get at this price (1700 euros).
Thanks for the recommendation. About fan noise: at 5:13 in the video it looked like a vacuum cleaner was on, was it the way it was recorded or does this laptop make so much noise at max everything that you need to raise your voice to talk? Reviews are not very clear on this...
@@Sakkumitsu the laptop does make a noticable amount of noise at max fan speed (manually set like so) but not as it is required to raise voice to talk over. I still have this laptop and it is amazing. 120 fps+ at medium/high settings in Warzone.
I've just managed to pick up one of these for £1261 down from £1699 at Amazon, which has the intel 10th Gen i7 10750h running 6 cores @ 4.5 - 5Ghz with 16Gb and an RTX 2070 with 8Gigs and 17.3" screen at 144 Mhz Good Times !
Do you still use the laptop by any chance? I found a reseller who's selling the exact same spec laptop doing a solid price in today's money but unsure if I should make the jump.
Yeah I am using HP omen 15 , Rtx 2070 max-q and it didn't disappoint me yet . Just a little extra heating while using heavy software like Games / game engine .
Dev Monk yeah i have same probably specs: rtx 2070 max q, i7 8750h ... ram 16 gb.. i using throttlestop to undervolt and little bit downclock. You can lower temperatures by these or you can also re paste cpu with better quality paste /liquid metal
@@rajakhan12346 Can you tell me about m.2 nvme? I want to upgrade storage capacity of mine. It can with only 512GB. Is there any extra port for m.2 nvme or is it going to be old SSD?
I purchased this laptop last Friday from the HP OMEN Store after thorough researching which included this video, thanks for the review. I'm pumped as I await it's arrival.
Can you tell me how many ports it has for M.2 nvme? I want to increase the storage capacity of mine and I have no idea about the SSD ports or m.2 nvme. Can you help me? Which one should I get?
I got this laptop a week ago the rtx 2070 and i7 ninth gen. It's an absolute monster but the battery life isn't the best in fact when you put too much pressure on it you will lose 4 to 6 of battery even while plugged in playing at full performance of the laptop. It's also very noisy but for the experience and price it is definitely worth it.
I am using an omen 15 with i7 8750h and 2070 max q and im pretty satisfied by it... it came with a single stick of 16 gb ram which i think was good as i just had to purchase 1 extra 16gb ram stick and plug that in.... Initially the cpu temps touched 93 to 94 when playing games like battlefield 5 and gpu was near 85.... I undervolted the cpu by -0.125 and bought a deepcool x6 fan which really got my cpu temps down to 80 and gpu to around 78 to 83 depending on which game i play...
llllllllllama Mine is being delivered in 14 days to replace a 5 year old PC, is there a massive up road on performance with RTX enabled still? Going with RTX 2070 one.
The thing that scared me was the battery life, if it only gives an autonomy of 1h30mins for gaming, then if you want to play all day it might ruin the battery no?
I started with the 144hz 9750 rtx 2080 and thermals were 45-53c. Went with the 4k panel afterwards as I didn't really care for the 1080p screen, used to 4k panels. High settings/Ultra with the 4k varies from 48-60. Its a good deal.
Tom, can you make a video on gaming on a 4K laptop at 1080p using NVidia drivers new integer scaling? Specifically how it compares to a 1080p panel (high refresh rate excluded) in term of image quality and performance
Image quality is a very personal perception, it really depends on the panel, the distance to your eyes and your ability to notice the improvements, laptop panels are too small to be able to notice much difference between the individual pixels, thats what apple for example call retina, it means what is the amount of pixels necesary at a certain distance to see a perfect image without seeing any individual pixel borders. 4k panels on laptops are also extremely demanding, you can easily estimate between 2-3h less of battery life and also more expensive. Other than that, gaming on 4k laptops even with a full rtx2080 is not gonna run most games at 60fps at high or ultra, so what you will gain in resolution you will lose in rendering quality, at the end of the day its a trade of, you cannot have both improvements in 2019. There are not many reasons to buy a 4k panel on a laptop, specially for 13 and 15 inch ones...unless you pick an oled 4k hdr panel for video content consumption.
what were temps like ? please give more info on what ppl want to know. The older Omens had a bad rep for getting hot. It would f been great to know how the new one performed.
I have an OMEN by HP 17-cb0056tx, Awesome machine with only a 1660ti GPU, but I play war zone and various other high end games at max video settings and get an average of 80FPS dropping to around 60 min with bigger games like SWTOR and other mmo's running at the max 144 FPS. Also found Win 10 Ultimate performance mode and turned that on and a few regedit tweeks make this thing amazingly quick and responsive. Only down side is the 1TB HDD it came with and not an SSD, but its a storage drive, the main drive is Nvme and boots in under 5 secs, also gets a bit hot, CPUs hitting mid 90's in some games, got a cooling pad and side vacuum fan, which work, down to 80's now. Its my first laptop, coming from custom desktops, and I don't think I'll ever own a desk top again. Great machine.
Gaming laptops are almost the whole way there - games you can get away with 16 gig/i7 even on a top tier machine, but editing you really want 32gig/i9. This Omen happens to have options for both those overkill specs though!
I’ve been testing this laptop for 1 week now, it does get hot at high/ultra settings...and the fans are as loud as most gaming laptops, did notice some coil whine which was annoying. And my screen had considerable back-light bleed. I loved the build and quality..but I returned it because of the above two issues.
For just under $13,000 I can get a Dell Precision Mobile Workstation with an 8 core Xeon, Quadro 6000, 128GB ECC RAM, 8TB NVMe, and a 17" 4K display. Good and you?
@@OUROMONO A somewhat misleading statement. While it is not targeted at gaming, and generally targeted at more "commercial" uses (such as CAD, analytics, visualisation etc) there is no reason you cannot use them for gaming. I have a Dell precision 5530 workstation for work with a Quadro P2000, and it performs about as good as a 1050ti in games. I pretty much never dip below 60fps in Doom (and my screen is only a 60Hz screen so it really doesn't matter if I don't go higher). Now I know this is not the best for gaming, but you would argue that a 1050ti IS for gaming (maybe budget orientated gaming), and mine performs pretty much the same. the P6000 isn't a card I would say is targeted for gaming, but can it be used for gaming. Yeah, of course it can. And with a tonne of CUDA cores and reasonable clock speeds it will perform really, really well. In most titles it will hold its own at 4K (not super high frame rates, but most titles over 60fps if not on the highest settings).
@@atmunnI said it's NOT FOR gaming, I didn't say you CANNOT game with it. Who in the right mind would pay that price for a GPU that has a power that's equivalent to a 1050ti??
In the US you can get the model with RTX 2080 for just under $2000. It's hovering around $1800-$1900 depending on the store. This HP Omen very competitive for performance against price.
What about the thermals? Framerates etc, are always descent on a laptop with modern hardware. Difference is usually in the thermals, which you didn't really mention.
I've seen other videos covering the 15.6inch models and thermals are very good in this years' model. I imagine it's similar or better on this bigger one.
More powerful laptop will come More cheaper with high spec laptops will arrive One day I'm gonna buy a rtx 2070 with 144hz display laptop within 50$ bughet :v
@@tilu8696 It gets hot during intensive gaming, same for most laptops, and it doesn't have the best fan control. For me, my GPU is an GTX 1650 cause I mainly got the laptop for trading, miner gaming nothing intensive, i got a desktop for that, but the GPU never passes 60c... but the CPU reaches 89, I undervolted it and now it goes to like 80c, it didn't lose performance, just removed extra volts the CPU didn't need to use. Room temp 73c, if your room is colder, the CPU will be ever so slightly as well. ThrottleStop, it's easy there's tuts for that, but it freaking works, and laptops need it. The CPU is an i5 9300H. 17 inch laptop, so it's a little more spacious than the 15 inch. But, the laptop is VERY good and very worth it, comfortable quiet keyboard that cant be hurt when video chatting. Nice sleek design that doesn't way much, looks very nice, runs quick as hell I have no other problems, it just.. like most gaming laptops gets hot on the CPU only, and the fan controls for this laptop are not too great ... unless you got some FORCE control software somewhere.
I ordered the 17inch version and it only gives the option for 40hz and 60hz. The 144hz is a false advertisement, and now im stuck with this laptop for the next few years when I specifically searched for a laptop with 144hz
Today the laptop officially shut down! Randomly, It did it while it was in sleep mode. When I checked back on it, it was completely shut off. The fan was cold I closed all apps before putting it to sleep. I swear I cannot make this up... for everyone watching please save your time and search for a different laptop
No, it's not false advertising. You need to go on HP's website and configure it. The only ones that come with 144hz are RTX 2070 full (not max q) and RTX 2080. Mine is 144hz as it was advertised to me. RTX 2070 max q, 2060 and below will be 60hz. There is no 40 hz option at all.
Price breakdown for my HP 17 I7-9750h, 4k, 2080, Single 512gb, 1 zone, 2 year security, 16gb 2666, 3 year warranty/accident protection money back if not used. $2481 with the 5GAMER coupon. Took about 10 days to arrive. No temp issues and runs great. You can't find another laptop with these specs at a lower cost. HP for the win.
i think gaming on pc is meant for a desktop but if you are a person who is always on the go then a gaming laptop is for you but be aware.....the laptop will run hot.
As always a great review dude. That’s not a bad gaming laptop at all. Personally for me right now a laptop would just be for work so desktop for gaming.
@@MineMiguel40 Sorry for the late reply, just downloaded Msi Afterburner to find out. Death Stranding on max settings the GPU sits about 70 c and the CPU about 85 c more or less, after about an hours gaming.
So I've had the laptop for a few days now and I'm very impressed with the performance. I've been playing control for hours with very high settings and the thermals are amazing! The CPU reached maximum 82c° and the GPU 70c°... Just wow! Update: don't install the latest windows update (24/01/2020)! It will completely erase the nvidia drivers (won't even show in device manager) and nvidia drivers won't recognize the graphics card... I had to do a full system restore after many solutions failed...
Yeah, I had the windows update problem too, had to go into Device Manager and delete the fake drivers. Had the RTX 2070 17' for nearly a month already and it's amazing!
@@nightstriker3994 Yeah it's pretty impressive... As for Windows update, I tried deleting the drivers first but it didn't work, it kept reinstalling them... And when I try to install the Nvidia drivers it doesn't detect the card... And in the BIOS it shows the card is working normally... So I did a system restore and it worked... I've disabled updates for the time being... Maybe Microsoft will fix the problem soon, I don't know...for now the laptop is running perfectly fine...
I have this exact model with 2070RTX. I bought this as a desktop replacement and am happy. No more desktop for me. Note...this laptop has a Thunderbolt 3 out. I bought a CalDigit TS3 dock and everything runs through that......Dell S2716dg monitor (Thunderbolt 3 out to DP, SteelSeries Wireless Pro Head Phones, Logitech G700 wireless mouse, Xbox 360 wireless controller. All runs flawless. I get 1440P gaming at over 60fps...a mix of medium to Ultra settings in games. I will stick with this for at least 12 to 18months and move on at that point. I mostly use as a desktop replacement but the portability is fantastic when I want to take it on the road. I paid $1629.00 US.....fantastic Bang for the Buck!!!!!
Hey Tom! I just recently watched a video about MSI Modern 14, it has the 10th gen intel cpu, mx250, etc. It's very similair to the prestige ps42 (in my opinion) why not revieng it somewhere in the future 😁
@Михаил Софронов hi! Yes, got it and so far Im really satisfied with it. Temperatures are totally okay, but I have to say I use it on a cooling pad, but should also be fine without it. Performance is great, only battery life sucks, but thats a problem with most gaming laptops. Hope that helped 🙂
Nice video man. I have a question... Which one will you advise me to go for in HP Omen 17 & Dell G5 15 5590? I will love to see you give me a pretty good breakdown with convictions please.
I stepped up the processor and the gpu, bought a 1tb ssd as back up, got 8gb of ram, bought dual-channel 32GB Ram and this thing is good to go. Make sure to get Wi-Fi 6 wait for a holiday you can get a couple hundred off. Alright PC Gamers onwards

campkira it’s not that heavy. I use to have an 18 inch laptop.
I have the 2080 on my omen 17; this laptop is a God.
Can u buy it for me plz
Laptop looks awesome. Need more reviews on this one!
I owned this laptop. My only complaint was the brightness on the keyboard was too dim. It never got hot.
And know that this is your case. I had heating problems like many others, but fixed them. And my complains are the screen brightness - too dark for bright environment and speakers volume and quality is quite bad. Everything else is great xD
this laptop is great. I own the version with G-SYNC and 2070 and no complains what so ever. It is dead silent when normal computing and, on balanced mode, is the most silent machine I have ever encountered (had asus msi and acer and all of them are under this one).
Temps: with balanced which keeps noise levels down and at the same time fan speed, you get a max of 75 degrees on cpu and rarely spikes to 86 degrees for 2-3 seconds then drops instantly back to 76 aprox. GPU sits well on temps on this cooling solution. On max cooling there is some noise, not too disturbing but man...temps are incredible...while gaming you get 65 degrees on cpu and gpu about 60. FPS very good and stable, display looks amazing and not much light bleed to consider. This laptop is the best you can get at this price (1700 euros).
Thanks for the recommendation. About fan noise: at 5:13 in the video it looked like a vacuum cleaner was on, was it the way it was recorded or does this laptop make so much noise at max everything that you need to raise your voice to talk? Reviews are not very clear on this...
@@Sakkumitsu the laptop does make a noticable amount of noise at max fan speed (manually set like so) but not as it is required to raise voice to talk over. I still have this laptop and it is amazing. 120 fps+ at medium/high settings in Warzone.
@@Dilivioofficial Thank you very much! I am looking for a good GPU laptop with good thermal/noise and it's a terrible ordeal. This looks great.
You have changed my life forever.
I have this laptop and it’s great! I bring it to college and it works fine even tho it’s a bit heavy and big.

I've just managed to pick up one of these for £1261 down from £1699 at Amazon, which has the intel 10th Gen i7 10750h running 6 cores @ 4.5 - 5Ghz with 16Gb and an RTX 2070 with 8Gigs and 17.3" screen at 144 Mhz
Good Times !
Do you still use the laptop by any chance? I found a reseller who's selling the exact same spec laptop doing a solid price in today's money but unsure if I should make the jump.
1080p is fine for 17" monitor, 4k would be a waste on a screen that size anyway, wouldn't be noticeable
exatly wtf is this guy thinking
Yeah I am using HP omen 15 , Rtx 2070 max-q and it didn't disappoint me yet .
Just a little extra heating while using heavy software like Games / game engine .
Dev Monk yeah i have same probably specs: rtx 2070 max q, i7 8750h ... ram 16 gb.. i using throttlestop to undervolt and little bit downclock. You can lower temperatures by these or you can also re paste cpu with better quality paste /liquid metal
Is there any difference if you are using a cooling pad concerning the thermals? Even for a little bit?

I got this laptop a week ago the rtx 2070 and i7 ninth gen. It's an absolute monster but the battery life isn't the best in fact when you put too much pressure on it you will lose 4 to 6 of battery even while plugged in playing at full performance of the laptop. It's also very noisy but for the experience and price it is definitely worth it.

Why you don't talk about thermals
I am using an omen 15 with i7 8750h and 2070 max q and im pretty satisfied by it... it came with a single stick of 16 gb ram which i think was good as i just had to purchase 1 extra 16gb ram stick and plug that in.... Initially the cpu temps touched 93 to 94 when playing games like battlefield 5 and gpu was near 85.... I undervolted the cpu by -0.125 and bought a deepcool x6 fan which really got my cpu temps down to 80 and gpu to around 78 to 83 depending on which game i play...
Hey. I have the same model like you. Could you help me with some info on how to do the undervolting?
@@profixtgaming3168 Also in your omen command center go to performance control and keep it on Cool, for some reason it works better for me
That thing is what I pray for 🙏
Just bought this laptop, and it's great.

@@aleksandarpuljic4662 hey man, full sized rtx with G-sync.
llllllllllama Mine is being delivered in 14 days to replace a 5 year old PC, is there a massive up road on performance with RTX enabled still? Going with RTX 2070 one.
Does it runs hot??
I got the hp omen 2018 version and it works great i use it as a desktop though.
The thing that scared me was the battery life, if it only gives an autonomy of 1h30mins for gaming, then if you want to play all day it might ruin the battery no?
Not how that works. If you keep it plugged in as you should while gaming, the battery doesn't get affected in any way
@@XZagatoX ok
Looks really good but how's the thermals?
Vijai Suraj Agreed thermals is my top thing that needs to be great. If thermals are bad forget.
I started with the 144hz 9750 rtx 2080 and thermals were 45-53c. Went with the 4k panel afterwards as I didn't really care for the 1080p screen, used to 4k panels. High settings/Ultra with the 4k varies from 48-60. Its a good deal.
Matt Schindig What? Those are amazing thermals!
Matt Schindig your laptop specs?
Bought this about a year ago and have no complaints.
Can it run gta fivem
I'm looking at the RTX 2060 version which is around £1,280....... Am i really going to miss out on G-Sync? It's still a 144hz screen.
I am getting this definitely.
Tom, can you make a video on gaming on a 4K laptop at 1080p using NVidia drivers new integer scaling? Specifically how it compares to a 1080p panel (high refresh rate excluded) in term of image quality and performance
Image quality is a very personal perception, it really depends on the panel, the distance to your eyes and your ability to notice the improvements, laptop panels are too small to be able to notice much difference between the individual pixels, thats what apple for example call retina, it means what is the amount of pixels necesary at a certain distance to see a perfect image without seeing any individual pixel borders. 4k panels on laptops are also extremely demanding, you can easily estimate between 2-3h less of battery life and also more expensive. Other than that, gaming on 4k laptops even with a full rtx2080 is not gonna run most games at 60fps at high or ultra, so what you will gain in resolution you will lose in rendering quality, at the end of the day its a trade of, you cannot have both improvements in 2019. There are not many reasons to buy a 4k panel on a laptop, specially for 13 and 15 inch ones...unless you pick an oled 4k hdr panel for video content consumption.
what were temps like ? please give more info on what ppl want to know. The older Omens had a bad rep for getting hot. It would f been great to know how the new one performed.
It’s hot
Will this edit 4k footage on premiere pro?
I have an OMEN by HP 17-cb0056tx, Awesome machine with only a 1660ti GPU, but I play war zone and various other high end games at max video settings and get an average of 80FPS dropping to around 60 min with bigger games like SWTOR and other mmo's running at the max 144 FPS. Also found Win 10 Ultimate performance mode and turned that on and a few regedit tweeks make this thing amazingly quick and responsive. Only down side is the 1TB HDD it came with and not an SSD, but its a storage drive, the main drive is Nvme and boots in under 5 secs, also gets a bit hot, CPUs hitting mid 90's in some games, got a cooling pad and side vacuum fan, which work, down to 80's now. Its my first laptop, coming from custom desktops, and I don't think I'll ever own a desk top again. Great machine.
I like the design
I bought one for myself, on i7 10 gen, 16gb, 512gb, 1tb, 2070 super. I started looking at games all over again.

Bought it, gonna install windows on it today!
@@pussy_destroyer2294 Goooooood💪👍
I’d love to know if gaming laptops are good for video editing?
Yes they are 😊
Gaming laptops are almost the whole way there - games you can get away with 16 gig/i7 even on a top tier machine, but editing you really want 32gig/i9. This Omen happens to have options for both those overkill specs though!
I’ve been testing this laptop for 1 week now, it does get hot at high/ultra settings...and the fans are as loud as most gaming laptops, did notice some coil whine which was annoying.
And my screen had considerable back-light bleed.
I loved the build and quality..but I returned it because of the above two issues.
Paulo M Yeah man HP laptop sucks ass they came defective and with heating issues. for me it’s a No 🚫 I recommend MSI, Acer, & Alienware or Asus 🗣 💪🏻
For just under $13,000 I can get a Dell Precision Mobile Workstation with an 8 core Xeon, Quadro 6000, 128GB ECC RAM, 8TB NVMe, and a 17" 4K display.
Good and you?
Quadro not for gaming, my dude
@@OUROMONO lol none of that kit is, bro
@@jefferysousa5261 damn, that's true, fam
@@OUROMONO A somewhat misleading statement. While it is not targeted at gaming, and generally targeted at more "commercial" uses (such as CAD, analytics, visualisation etc) there is no reason you cannot use them for gaming. I have a Dell precision 5530 workstation for work with a Quadro P2000, and it performs about as good as a 1050ti in games. I pretty much never dip below 60fps in Doom (and my screen is only a 60Hz screen so it really doesn't matter if I don't go higher). Now I know this is not the best for gaming, but you would argue that a 1050ti IS for gaming (maybe budget orientated gaming), and mine performs pretty much the same. the P6000 isn't a card I would say is targeted for gaming, but can it be used for gaming. Yeah, of course it can. And with a tonne of CUDA cores and reasonable clock speeds it will perform really, really well. In most titles it will hold its own at 4K (not super high frame rates, but most titles over 60fps if not on the highest settings).
@@atmunnI said it's NOT FOR gaming, I didn't say you CANNOT game with it. Who in the right mind would pay that price for a GPU that has a power that's equivalent to a 1050ti??
In the US you can get the model with RTX 2080 for just under $2000. It's hovering around $1800-$1900 depending on the store. This HP Omen very competitive for performance against price.
My bank account : are you kidding me !!???!

I’d rather get the omen desktop instead, it’ll last longer and is more upgradable.
@@bratic80 unfortunately I can't since I move a lot 😢
What about the thermals? Framerates etc, are always descent on a laptop with modern hardware. Difference is usually in the thermals, which you didn't really mention.
I've seen other videos covering the 15.6inch models and thermals are very good in this years' model. I imagine it's similar or better on this bigger one.
Omen thermals are always superb. As an owner of one it never overheats.
Thank you for posting this! Having trouble deciding between the 15" and the 17" as an architecture student. Anyone with advice?
I recommend the 17 inch. With the bigger screen , it really feels like you get more view of what you're creating.

Cooling is better in 17” laptops

Better off customizing your own, you get it within 1 full week of purchase, it never takes as long as the date set when customizing.
So what about cooling, gaming, Throttle maybe?
@@tilu8696 It gets hot during intensive gaming, same for most laptops, and it doesn't have the best fan control.
For me, my GPU is an GTX 1650 cause I mainly got the laptop for trading, miner gaming nothing intensive, i got a desktop for that, but the GPU never passes 60c... but the CPU reaches 89, I undervolted it and now it goes to like 80c, it didn't lose performance, just removed extra volts the CPU didn't need to use.
Room temp 73c, if your room is colder, the CPU will be ever so slightly as well.
ThrottleStop, it's easy there's tuts for that, but it freaking works, and laptops need it.
The CPU is an i5 9300H.
17 inch laptop, so it's a little more spacious than the 15 inch.
But, the laptop is VERY good and very worth it, comfortable quiet keyboard that cant be hurt when video chatting.
Nice sleek design that doesn't way much, looks very nice, runs quick as hell I have no other problems, it just.. like most gaming laptops gets hot on the CPU only, and the fan controls for this laptop are not too great ... unless you got some FORCE control software somewhere.

3:08 I don’t judge.
Bad move moving the ports from the back to the sides.I liked it more on the back because all the cables are out of the way.
That's one of the main selling points for me was I love the ports on the side lol, I just wish they were on the right side.
@@Mattschindig Ports on the back are the best, out of the way. If they have to be on a side, it should be on the left, not on the mouse side.

Can easily play games on high/ ultra at a playable frame rate
Omens are badly priced. Too much costly. Msi offers better choice.
how much dose it cost my dude
1500 is good for rtx 2070
In the UK MSI is actually more expensive.
Did you have any problem with fitting them in backpacks?
I ordered the 17inch version and it only gives the option for 40hz and 60hz. The 144hz is a false advertisement, and now im stuck with this laptop for the next few years when I specifically searched for a laptop with 144hz
Today the laptop officially shut down! Randomly, It did it while it was in sleep mode. When I checked back on it, it was completely shut off. The fan was cold I closed all apps before putting it to sleep. I swear I cannot make this up... for everyone watching please save your time and search for a different laptop
No blinking lights while charging!!
No, it's not false advertising. You need to go on HP's website and configure it. The only ones that come with 144hz are RTX 2070 full (not max q) and RTX 2080. Mine is 144hz as it was advertised to me. RTX 2070 max q, 2060 and below will be 60hz. There is no 40 hz option at all.
Price breakdown for my HP 17 I7-9750h, 4k, 2080, Single 512gb, 1 zone, 2 year security, 16gb 2666, 3 year warranty/accident protection money back if not used. $2481 with the 5GAMER coupon. Took about 10 days to arrive. No temp issues and runs great. You can't find another laptop with these specs at a lower cost. HP for the win.
Matt Schindig does it run hot?

i think gaming on pc is meant for a desktop but if you are a person who is always on the go then a gaming laptop is for you but be aware.....the laptop will run hot.
Just purchased the same one in the video, it should be arrived next tuesday.
As always a great review dude. That’s not a bad gaming laptop at all. Personally for me right now a laptop would just be for work so desktop for gaming.
The heat coming out from right side makes our hands hot while using mouse, is very annoying.

@@MineMiguel40 Sorry for the late reply, just downloaded Msi Afterburner to find out. Death Stranding on max settings the GPU sits about 70 c and the CPU about 85 c more or less, after about an hours gaming.

So I've had the laptop for a few days now and I'm very impressed with the performance. I've been playing control for hours with very high settings and the thermals are amazing! The CPU reached maximum 82c° and the GPU 70c°... Just wow!
Update: don't install the latest windows update (24/01/2020)!
It will completely erase the nvidia drivers (won't even show in device manager) and nvidia drivers won't recognize the graphics card... I had to do a full system restore after many solutions failed...
Yeah, I had the windows update problem too, had to go into Device Manager and delete the fake drivers. Had the RTX 2070 17' for nearly a month already and it's amazing!
@@nightstriker3994
Yeah it's pretty impressive... As for Windows update, I tried deleting the drivers first but it didn't work, it kept reinstalling them... And when I try to install the Nvidia drivers it doesn't detect the card... And in the BIOS it shows the card is working normally... So I did a system restore and it worked... I've disabled updates for the time being... Maybe Microsoft will fix the problem soon, I don't know...for now the laptop is running perfectly fine...

All runs flawless. I get 1440P gaming at over 60fps...a mix of medium to Ultra settings in games. I will stick with this for at least 12 to 18months and move on at that point.
