The perfect example is the recent Acer Predator Helios deal, on which someone commented how QHD wasn't needed. And now this.

did more digging just came to know that hp omen has their transcend line up, has all the bells and whistles, bigger battery, qhd+ panel, and lighter.........of course it costs more
i guess this is HP's way to do their product segments
Do yourself a favor and search "7940HS" on SD and then just see the prices with 4060/4070.

The lowest transcend has gone for is $1349 which isn't that good considering Legion with similar specs has been the same price.

Pros:
- The screen is NOT 1440p. This means you can potentially actually take advantage of the 165hz screen. You probably won't actually get to take advantage of the FULL 165hz in modern games, however, the difference between 120hz and 165hz if you're not playing eSports titles is mostly negligible. Anything in the 120-165hz range will feel like butter and you should be able to hit 120 FPS in a lot of titles, especially when using DLSS.
- RTX 4070 is solid value at this price.
- Ryzen 7940HS is probably overkill for this system, but a good value at this price.
Neutral:
- 16GB of RAM is passable for the price range.
- It has a tiny bit of stupid gamer aesthetic (the 16) on the hand rest, however all in all it doesn't look like it was designed by a child.
Cons:
- 512GB of SSD is barely passable at this price range. I would like to have seen a 1TB SSD in there.
I would love to see someone stake their money on their ability to reliably tell 1080p from 1440p on a freaking 16" display with the monitor frame and specs hidden. Can't be done. I've seen LTT try it with 24" screens. *I* have gotten it wrong on some of my own spare displays lol.
There is ZERO reason to go 1440p on a gaming laptop. None. Nada. It's harder on your battery, and it makes your GPU less effective.
I have a 32" 1440p screen. I even have a 35" ultrawide at 1080p. While the pixel density on the 35" is a little suboptimal in Windows, it's honestly hardly even noticeable in games unless you literally pause and look for it. That monitor has other issues however (VA panel, ghosting and flicker in gsync), but I digress.
The 32" is absolutely amazing and I've had a friend look at it CLOSELY and say "that's 4k, right?".
There is NO "gaming spec" as overrated as resolution. In fact, it goes into the inverse, causing so many to have worse gaming experiences because they listened to monitor snobs on Slickdeals or on YouTube reviews.
