Based on this regurgitated comment on every budget laptop thread ever I have to assume most laptop gamers are gaming outdoors in direct sunlight?

Lemme guess, 8gb vram, already obsolete?

I don't see that it has Thunderbolt ports on the BB website. Is this correct? Thanks.

It does have thunderbolt 4 ports, two of them, as per HP's official listing.

It indeed does not have thunderbolt 4 or USB 4; This model has 2x USB Type-C (USB Power Delivery, DisplayPort 1.4a, HP Sleep and Charge) ports.

Depending on thermals this seems like an insane amount of power for the price.

Not sure about the color gamut on this particular panel, but there's generally a noticeable step-up in quality when you make the jump to a 300-nit display, versus the budget 250-nit panels most bargain basement laptops use.

If we're strictly talking about brightness, then 300 nits is perfectly adequate if you're in anything less than direct sunlight.

My laptop has a 300-nit panel and I don't even have the backlight turned up all the way.

I'm torn between this (since it'd match aesthetically with the Omen 27q monitor I picked up earlier) and the Legion Slim 5 14 OLED once the end of year sales start at Lenovo (hopefully with new coupons and CB offers). 🤔

Just a casual gamer but I'm hoping for another batch of refurbed 3070ti's.
I should have bought earlier this month.

I'm between this one and the other HP Victus on Costco's website.

HP OMEN - 16" 165Hz Full HD Gaming Laptop - AMD Ryzen 9-7940HS - 16GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 - 512GB SSD - Shadow Black (https://www.bestbuy.com/site/hp-o...mpid=10451)
- no open box near me so full price ($1200)
- only 512GB SSD
- better screen refresh rate (165 vs 144) but this doesn't matter as much to me as I'll have an external monitor
- Thunderbolt port?? (important to me, I'm gong to have it hooked up to external equipment and would be nice to plug/unplug it easily with Thunderbolt)

HP Victus 16.1" Laptop - 13th Gen Intel Core i7-13700H - GeForce RTX 4070 - 1080p 144Hz (https://www.costco.com/.product.1773463.html)
- $200 cheaper
- same GPU, similar screen resolution but lower refresh rate (see above about external monitor)
- AMD vs Intel CPU seem similar from what I could tell
- 1TB SSD
- same RAM

Am I missing something?

Thanks
