Nice price, OP. If you have HP EPP, it is slightly cheaper at $959.99. See the attached pic.

Wanted to add the GPU is 120w TDP per this chart: https://support.hp.com/us-en/docu...8109292-16

I also wanted to add that one review on the product page complains the display is only 60 hz. I believe that is user error (not setting the display at the higher rate), because when configuring a Victus 16" laptop, there are no low-Hz screen options (they start at 144hz, and the 300-nit display is 165hz): https://www.hp.com/us-en/shop/Con...a%20silver

Also, if you want to spend just a little bit more on essentially the same exact machine but with an extra USB-C port (and both being 10 gpbs) slightly better speakers, slightly worse battery life, and 4-zone backlight keyboard - the Omen version is available for $1099.99 https://www.hp.com/us-en/shop/pdp...g-laptop-1

(Note that it's actually slightly thicker, but probably has a little better cooling and overall build quality).

Just one thing to keep in mind, the display on this is 60 Hz. Check the few Customer reviews available. Somebody is returning it because of this 60 Hz refresh rate.

I don't believe that customer is correct. There is no 60hz screen option for this laptop: https://www.hp.com/us-en/shop/Con...%20silver&

Also, look at the Q&A Section, HP confirmed 144hz refresh rate:

You probably failed to notice in your given link that there is no 144Hz Screen option with 100% sRGB and 300-nits brightness. The 144 Hz option is mentioned as 16.1" diagonal, FHD (1920 x 1080), 144 Hz, IPS, micro-edge, anti-glare, 250 nits. So, obviously then that 100% sRGB claim in this laptop is incorrect as per your own link. Why do you think HP did not mention anything about the display refresh rate for this exact model where all the other models have that information explicitly mentioned?

Anyway, rather than guessing, let me give you more definitive answer. HP is selling this laptop in Newegg as well, at a lower price of $999.99 and there, they have clearly mentioned this to have 60 Hz Panel. Check it out.

I knew this for a long time because a lot of folks confirmed that in some YouTube reviews and in reddit.

You are correct, I wasn't putting that together before. 300 nits is nice, 60 hz on a gaming laptop is dumb.
