Good price if the GPU isn't very important to you. 3050 Ti is like 40% faster for reference. 3060 is over 100% faster.
The first gen screen (this one) has some noticeable blur on motion, despite being a high refresh panel. Second gen is better, but second gen with 1440p panel is smooth.

Overall, this is a killer laptop if you don't mind the blur or smaller trackpad vs other premiums.

For gaming the low end GPU here is a perfect match for 60hz.

Agreed….if you're not pushing 120 frames why would you need 120hz. Just to see the same frame twice?

Well if you don't need the better video card and you're ok lugging the HP around, then save the money. The Asus will be better for gaming and is much more portable.

I purchased. I'm not a huge PC gamer but the laptop has very nice specs. Coming from a 3 year old ThinkPad I think I'll like this. Business & gaming option as an added bonus.

I really wanted this laptop or the G15 (with Ryzen 9), but ultimately the screen was the deal breaker for me. 250-300 nits, is just not bright enough. I ended up with the M16 (500 nits), even thought I would have preferred Ryzen over intel, I'm pretty happy with my choice. The M16 screen is really great.

Was going to say I got the same card in April in a Lenovo for under $680 out the door (tax and shipping). Has a Ryzen 4600H, but that's rarely the limiting reagent when I'm gaming. (I did add RAM from an old laptop however.)

Does fine, but it's no speed demon. At this price I'd want a little more cow^H^H^H gpu.

Man .. why can't they just upgrade to a more decent display for an extra $50? I'll gladly pay it. For a gaming laptop, I'm not sure if 60hz is going to cut it.
a 1650 mobille aint going to cut it either. spend 100 more and get a 3050 ti minimum.

The ASUS is a much better build and it has an external GPU.

I think my favorite for the buck (if you can find for !000) is the Acer Swift X, which is also a 14" laptop.

Bottom line... what are your needs?

I want a 120hz screen, ryzen processor and at least a 3050Ti and I want to spend less then $1000.... The Acer screen is only 60Hz

Link pls. 3050 ti with faily similar specs for $100 more. This one has far too many compromise.

In these days aren't we all students too? It seems like everyone is enrolled in some sort of learning course or program... and even if you're not enrolled... who stops learning? We'll all students though we may not be paying some 'higher' education institution for that designation. Just my two cents... probably worth less. Smilie

For those interested in using their laptop for gaming, I would spend just slightly more and aim for a 1660 Ti or 2060 - for something like $100 more, you can have a GPU that is nearly twice as powerful. I've even seen some laptops equipped with these things that have a similar price (between 800-900 dollars).
