I am in love with this laptop and I'm confused about the low price given the premium OLED 120Hz HDR screen and borderline ultrabook weight and an RTX 4060 8GB not to mention the very capable Radeon 780m iGPU. Huge YMMV but I got an open box acceptable for $810 and received an excellent one. If your usecase can be covered by the 780m the Pavilion Plus 14 OLED is $407 open box at Micro Center, same specs without the 4060.

Typing on this laptop right now as I picked it up yesterday and loving it so far. Installing games on it right now but the screen is gorgeous. I'm coming from an Asus G14 I bought in 2020 which only recently gave me problems with one of the fans failing but it was a 30 min swap. The extra 0.5" screen size does make a difference and build quality overall is good. Was about to get the HP Omen Transcend 14" open box but the gimped GPU wattage turned me off from it.

For me, I've played on OLED before so that was a must. I also wanted portability and a 3 year warranty. I'm looking forward to Valheim on this laptop while traveling!
What 3 year warranty? Also can you let me know how the thermals are? Picking up mine on the weekend.

Did you adjust the text and app icon size in Windows settings?

Quote from TJake :
Current generation is RTX 4000 series. He's saying 32GB RAM won't be the recommended minimum spec for gaming until well into the future. Personally, I've had 32GB RAM in my gaming desktop PC for ~5 years--it's always nice to have plenty of overhead. At this price point, 16GB is reasonable, but it's unfortunate that it's not upgradable via drop-in modules.

I don't know much about gaming laptops. Is this good for gaming?

obviously this is meant for that but how good is it actually?

Is this laptop a good deal? I honestly don't need to for gaming, I need a good laptop to work from home.

Picked one of these up as open box for 880. Great laptop but I'm feeling the 16gb of ram. Using it for very light document editing for work within the browser, meetings etc is nearly pinning the 16gb as is. Capable of gaming but I'd worry about having more than just a game running and the memory running out.

I ended up picking up a certified refurbished one with 32gb of ram for $1029 on eBay that also had a 2 year warranty. Arrives tomorrow, hoping it's in great shape.

I apologize if this sounds defensive and apologist for manufacturer stinginess with soldered RAM but this growing assumption that you need MORE RAM (like 8GB+) is mostly founded on the fact that the high RAM usage you are seeing is due to a modern Windows 7/10/11 optimization for using ALL of the unused RAM you have; it's literally doing the "I paid for all that RAM so I'm using all of that RAM" thing, which makes absolute sense. If you run out of real RAM your OS has virtual memory using your hard disk space. The only time I ever was physically stopped, as in I can't use my PC because of the lack of RAM and my PC literally freezes, is using Blender to bake 16K (i.e. this needed my 64GB RAM desktop) textures but that is possibly a Blender thing. I am currently unsure of any consumer app that requires beyond 16GB of RAM. I finished my CS + EE undergrad using only 8GB DDR4 and never ran into RAM bottlenecks, and I am using this Slim 5 laptop now for my graduate classes especially in high performance GPU computing/parallelization and the combination of NVIDIA CUDA and AMD HIP is ideal for me for testing different architectures (I have a desktop Intel Arc GPU as well). I am also a heavy user of Blender, UE5, Unity, Adobe Premier/PS, Audacity, FL Studio + EastWest Composer Cloud, among others using only my 16GB hardcore overclocked desktop RAM (it is hard to OC beyond 16GB). Although the biggest sell for me is the OLED screen at 120Hz with HDR (10 bit color) and the X-Rite color calibrator for switching between AdobeRGB/DCI-P3/sRGB/etc. as I am extremely particular about accurate color reproduction, and representing black as the absence of light just blows my mind, as if I have never seen true darkness before LOL

The major drawback of this laptop with regards to RAM is if you are using the Radeon 780M iGPU, as instead of its own dedicated VRAM it uses your RAM. So if you're running Llama or any framework requiring 8GB VRAM you will likely hit virtual memory space with the 780M and/or crash. For 4K Ultra gaming with 4K+ textures 8GB VRAM is easy to fill especially with modded Skyrim. For massive compute projects it is cheaper and more convenient to rent EC2 instances or Render Farms.

As you can see I really, really love this laptop LOL but as a true minmaxxing Slickdealer I still think $800 is too much for this laptop LOL the Micro Center deal for the open box Pavilion Plus 14 OLED is around $400, which is literally this same laptop (exact same Samsung OLED panel model and AMD CPU/iGPU) without the 4060. I am still thinking whether an extra $400 for a 4060 is worth it LMAO

Finally, RE: the Glossy Screen. It seems there's a group used to anti-glare (PC) and another used to glossy screens (Apple). I have been a huge fan of glossy screens for years, and before Samsung OLED was released in 2022, ALMOST ALL good monitors/screens (non-Apple) were ANTIGLARE. And compared to glossy, all ANTIGLARE coating looks like painted grease on the screen. I used a premium (color accurate) EIZO screen but it only had antiglare, so I actually called the Chinese manufacturer of OEM EIZO to remove the antiglare layer for me. I only got accustomed (and also sometimes THANKFUL) to AntiGlare after my eyesight got worse over the years, but I still notice how superior the OLED screen is on my Samsung phone. Having a 120Hz OLED screen means I can use this for gaming AND color-sensitive projects which is NUTS to me. The OLED screen should NOT have problems used even under high noon if you have the brightness on blast as long as you max the brightness, and the HDR mode goes up to 617 nits which is NUTS.

If you game competitively I would prioritize faster RAM/CPU/GPU and at least 240Hz over OLED colors.
Quote from RoHi_999 :
I just purchased one last night Open Box - Fair. The laptop looks practically new but did not come with a charger, bought a used OEM replacement on a marketplace so hopefully that'll get to me soon enough to give this laptop proper try. Even with the added cost of the charger I feel like I still got out like a bandit.

Sure 16GB LPDDR5 and no g-sync/freesync are compromises and there are less expensive RTX4060 laptops, and I've been lurking for nearly a year for sub $800 RTX4060 laptops. The size, weight, and unobtrusive build of this laptop pushed me to finally overcome my choice paralysis.

One thing that did stand out almost immediately is that I certainly am not used to the glossy display as I have used matte finishes most of my life, but man is this screen gorgeous. The fan white noise isn't too bad either, I've certainly heard far worse.
Quote from MichaelB7763 :
Yes, this would be very capable on this capacity. I use a slim7 carbon and it is adequate speed-wise, with the colors/screen being great. If I was a professional, I would look at this laptop as a baseline for what I would need.

I run DXO PhotoLab, which is pretty power hungry. A less intensive photo editing software suite would be much faster on mine, let alone this machine.
Quote from insaneXproval :
I just picked one up… and one thing the specs don't say is that the power button is also a fingerprint reader.
Quote from LavenderWalrus2248 :
There are a ton of things but for me it's working with large data sets and having to run multiple poorly optimized work applications. Other uses CAD, 3d-modeling, running vm's, etc. for what you listed 16gb sounds like enough imo. Best thing to do is watch your current memory usage and see what it's using.
Quote from tkotter24 :
Would love a deal like this but without the dedicated gpu for $600-700ish. Portable(14in + lightweight), good screen(oled + high res + high refresh rate), and a 780m for possible gaming at low settings. Any recommendations?
Quote from PurpleRoom4389 :
I bought and returned a 32 GB model (120 Hz) of this due to glare.

My old Thinkpad T15g 4K OLED anti-reflective (60 Hz) looks better than this display with light in the room.

Best Buy is selling used items as new so I won't be buying from them anymore. I spent $800 on a new litter robot and it had cat pee in it and last week I bought a new laptop just to find that someone else's email attached to it.

How do you check the memory usage while using programs in the background? I like to have a game running behind say a teams meeting to play while they're talking something I do not need to paying attention to lol. Games I'd like to have running: Fortnite, FO 76, Elden Ring, NBA 2k, Outer Worlds, etc.
