That's a great price for a 4060 laptop. What's the catch?

Maybe the 4060's TGP is only 75W.

The catch is that it is really a piece of junk. I just returned one and overall it seemed like a Temu special rather than an HP product -- a real disappointment.

Reason #1: poor battery life (I mean BAD -- REALLY BAD: full charge to dead w/n an hour). There's supposed to be a 'fix' but I wasn't want to chance it.
Other reasons:
- 'cheap' all plastic build quality
- keyboard is skewed way left putting the center of keyboard at about 1/3 from the left side of the laptop
- this skewed keyboard puts your right palm squarely on top of track pad
(fwiw, I've personally owned 20 or more laptops of all brands over the years)

Basically, the worst screen in any modern gaming laptop.

All HP products are a disappointment.

I found a comment in the listing that claims it's only 75W TGP. Cannot validate their claim without a bit of digging- but at this price I would assume they're right.

Good price for mediocre performance
It's only got a 75w GPU. The touchpad sticks. And it's an older i5

I don't think the 12th Gen CPU is an issue, but the 75W TGP would be a big one.

It's not a "big one". 75W for a 4060 is fine, 4050-4070 mobile basically stop scaling after 90W anyways.

Just suck it up and enjoy the increased lifespan of your laptop.

Meh, looks like it still is the difference between 60 FPS average or not though- in which case is absolutely worth aiming for a higher than 75W TGP. What this does tell us (at least right now) is that 90-100W is the sweet spot and beyond that it doesn't really matter much.

I have a "140W" 4060 and am curious if I can dial it back to 100W. Been a while since I've really tinkered with hardware. I wonder if it actually draws much more than 100W at peak gaming anyways now. Hmmmm

You probably could dial it back and experiment to see what works best, so long as your laptop allows for it (I admittedly haven't been keeping up with gaming hardware as much these days; it just isn't as exciting as it used to be).

When looking at benchmark results I like to play it safe and take 10-20% off whatever FPS the reviewer gets just to account for things like platform/hardware differences, software/patch differences, OS environment differences, etc. And to remember that most people's libraries aren't the same suite of games used to benchmark hardware and produce those FPS averages. Either way the difference between 62 FPS and 57 FPS for example is probably not going to be perceptible (let alone a dealbreaker) to most people shopping at this price point, even though it's an 8% deficit. If FPS is that important to you there are plenty of ways to increase it, like dialing down image quality or using DLSS.

Terrible screen and accompanying hardware is a bit older.

Seems like an amazing price for a 4060 GPU laptop? The monitor and keyboard issues can be rectified by connecting a separate monitor and keyboard.

Can also confirm, batter life is very poor. Just browsing I only got 2 hours max of battery life, with the dgpu off.

Plastic wasn't that bad imo. Less flex than a lot of other laptops.

The trackpad is terrible straight from the factory. If you rest your palms on the laptop, it pushes and activates the trackpad. Claimed a warranty and they fixed it with no issue.

I will say if you need a budget laptop, it was a good deal at $699.99. At $759, not too sure.
