HP Pavilion Gaming Laptop, 15.6" FHD Display, Intel Core i7-9750H, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 4GB, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, 15-dk0055wm

This HP Pavilion gaming laptop PC is the fastest computer I have ever used. It has an Intel Core i7-9750H processor, 8 GB SDRAM, 256 GB solid state drive, and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 graphic. The computer starts almost instantaneously, and Chrome browser is up in a few seconds. It is so much faster than my i7 desktop. I guess every component contribute something to the speed of this computer. I downloaded a few programs from the Internet, including iTune. It took only several minutes for me to transfer my 3000 plus songs from an external hard drive. Both Internet and non-Internet games work smoothly. Games like Cities: Skylines and Maple Story 2 require a lot processing power. This laptop handles them nicely. As far as games are concerned, the 15.6 inch display may be the weak point of the laptop. There is a HDMI port. It may be possible to connect the laptop to a TV set for playing games. The built-in speakers are unremarkable. Since the laptop has Bluetooth function, I connected a small Bluetooth speaker to it, and the sound quality was much improved. People who desire better quality sound should invest in a good speaker system. There is touch pad, and it works fine. But I found that an external mouse is a lot more useful. There is no optical drive. Most programs can be downloaded from the Internet. For older programs on discs, it is possible to copy the files to a USB drive using another computer, and then install the program from the USB drive. Another option is to use an external optical drive. I recommend this laptop to anyone who loves speed.

This laptop has a very sleek and sturdy design. It is a heavier laptop than most, but that is to be expected. It stays cool when playing demanding games. It has a backlit keyboard that is only available in green. The computer does not get hot easily, which is a fantastic, as other laptops often do when running larger games. I played Shadow of the Tomb Raider on this laptop with settings all set to high and it ran at around 52 FPS (frames per second) which is quite good for a laptop. The screen is very clear and anti-glare but is a fingerprint magnet. It would be nice if this computer did have more storage on a mass storage drive or a higher capacity SSD. After downloading three games, I have the hard drive ¾ full. After a few games and large windows updates, it will not take long to fill this computer. Aside from the ports seen in the attached photo, there are two addition USBs and a headphone jack on the opposite side. This is a laptop that is meant to be used for gaming. If you are not planning to use this laptop for gaming, it's best to buy something else, as this computer has hardware that is meant to be pushed in a way in which games can. This is not meant to be a glorified laptop used to do office work (although it can do that). I would recommend this laptop, but additional storage is an absolute must!!!
