HP Pavilion i5 GTX 1650 8GB/256GB Gaming Laptop

HP Pavilion 15-dk0056wm is a very nice gaming laptop with a competitive design. I have been using Acer Predator Helios 300 gaming laptop for couple years now and HP pavilion gaming laptop is very close as far as performance goes. In my opinion, it has better exterior design even though it is slightly cheaper. HP Pavilion's dual speaker area looks very wavy and kind of has a 3d design. The keyboard backlight is green which looks pretty cool at night. Speakers are made by B&O audio. It comes with 15 inch full HD IPS screen with build in camera and microphone. Because it is a gaming laptop, it comes with NVidia GeForce GTX 1650 4 GB graphics card. HP is loaded with 8 GB SDRAM memory. It runs on Windows 10 home operating system with Intel Core i5 processor. This gaming laptop has a built in 256 GB solid state drive which is enough storage for most people. Gamers should not fear that this HP will overheat because according to HP, the airflow cooling has been greatly enhanced to keep it cool even during heavy usage. On the right side of the laptop, there is a headphone & microphone combo outlet, connector for RJ-45, HSMI port, USB 3.1 Type-A port USB 3.1 Type-C port and HP fast charge power port. On the left side, there is 2 USB 3.1 Type-A ports and multi-format SD media card reader. Even though it might not be sleek and thin like MacBook, this HP Pavilion gaming laptop PC is still very low profile when closed. It is less than one inch in height.

Im the first reviewer that hasnt recieved a free product and bought with intent for personal use, but let me say this laptop packs a punch. I bought it expecting the worst hoping for the best and was just going to use it for light gaming. Little did i know this would be able to run some of my favorite more demanding games smoothly at decent settings. The games i tested and at what settings were Fallout 76 (medium), Minecraft java edition (fantastic), state of decay 2 (high), and subnautica (medium) all of them ran smoothly and didn't have any problems. Plus the ssd had the loading times at almost nothing it felt like. I am very happy with my decision to purchase this laptop over a desktop due to the fact that its so small and convinient. The only problem i found was how warm it gets on the more demanding games and in general. Purchasing a laptop cooling pad can help this problem and i look foreword to doing so.
