I read that from HP support. I think you can go higher depending on bios maybe. I think this is typical. Why not Try for 64gb lol

Multiple reviews on BB mention upgrading to 32gb of ram. I am surprised this deal came back so fast after ending last week. Solid specs for this price.

It would not perform as well as the laptop. The laptop also has a higher refresh rate and resolution. So in theory a laptop like this will play games better because it has a dedicated graphics card. I guess it depends on what you plan on doing. Most reviews like the portability of the Steam Deck more than the power. Ran across a rumor of a new version of the Steam Deck coming out.
New Steam Deck was released yesterday.

I have this laptop that I bought a week or so ago from the same deal that had temporarily expired. I also bought an extra 8 GB of ram for a total of 16 GB because only 8gb seems abysmal for even having a few tabs and something else in the background open. So about $500 total including the ram upgrade, after tax. If anyone is wondering, this laptop with the 2050 4GB has DDR5 RAM at 4800MHz whilst the 3050 6GB model has DDR4 3200MHz RAM if anyone is looking to upgrade the ram. Just FYI, the back panel takes time to remove but eventually it does come out.

Now, as per it's pros and cons.

I heard that 250 nits wasn't a lot of brightness but it is more than enough for me and I have never used this at full brightness. The screen colors are fine and everything. People have been complaining about screen wobble, but in my opinion, it is wayy overstated and barely noticeable. Keyboard is nice and the numpad is an added bonus as I use it regularly. It also has a neat little calculator button near the numpad so that's nice. There is a backlight that can either be toggled on or off, but you can't change the brightness. Unlike some other gaming laptops, this has a nice design and doesn't look tacky. The build quality is alright, you get what you pay for. Not too shabby, but it is mostly just plastic.

The only thing that I don't really like about the laptop is the fans make a slight whistle if you do anything slightly more than browsing. It's kind of quiet but very noticeable. I don't know if it's just my model or it's a common thing with all models. Even if I put it in quiet or eco mode, the noise still persists.

I'll be honest, battery life kinda sucks. So if you're going to be using a laptop for more than 3 hours or so on battery, I would not recommend this. Battery drains faster than I'd like.


Overall, it's a fine laptop for the price.

250 is kind of dull and bleary right?

I have the same question. I bought this laptop and I'd like to install another 8gb of RAM. I looked up the model number on the crucial website and I was thinking about getting it from there unless someone has a better recommendation.

So I ordered the laptop in this thread last week but it's still in the box. Orderd another 8gb of Hynix ddr5 4800 on Amazon for $17.

Costco just listed this for $499 with 2 yr warranty etc.

whistle/whine sound has defined HP's regular/thin laptops for years. Even their elitebook professional/business laptops have that fan whine. I think their cooling system engineer must have an undiagnosed loss of hearing or something. If you're someone who's sensitive to stuff like this, it unfortunately rules out most HP laptops. I wish they'd do something about it!
