- I am having no issues living with the 16GB RAM. I already am on most systems I use and thought it would be nice to have 32GB, but I am not missing what I've almost never had.
- I am not playing bleeding edge AAA graphics games so the RTX 4060 is doing a great job running the 1800p 16:10 screen, zero concerns on performance in regards to that and the CPU while we're at it. This laptop chews through whatever I try to do with it.
- Speaking of the screen, it is as amazing to look at as many others have said, but the glossy screen takes a bit of getting used to after using almost exclusively AG-coated screens and man is this thing BRIGHT.
- Speakers are functional and loud "enough," but highly directional and dependent on what surface the laptop is sitting on; accuracy and clarity is not on the agenda. Mix that with the fans going when doing some heaving lifting and you'll want a pair of headphones or Bluetooth.
- About the fans; they do get quite loud though more of a white noise at any setting other than the built-in quiet mode in the Legion Software. That quiet mode is almost shockingly quiet compared to other modes and does get a little toasty under load, "lap-ability" is questionable but I have not tried to place the laptop on my lap. Performance in quiet mode does not take a substantial hit like I thought it would. If you do let the fans do its thing the laptop does a pretty good job managing heat and it's not too hot to the touch.
- The top row LEDs for the keyboard bleeds onto the bottom of the bezel, and depending on the tilt of the display it can be rather pronounced. It is not particularly a big deal in a lit environment, but in a dark environment it may make you consider turning the backlight off if you're watching something.
- The 14.5", 16:10 form factor display and the protruding back makes finding a reasonable carrying bag or laptop sleeve difficult... Snug enough to not be shifting around but not so tight to have to shove in and defeat the purpose of padding is the goal, and many bags I attempted were either much too wide or juuuuuust too short. Not that big of a deal if you plan on using a backpack or a heavily compartmentalized briefcase, but moreso with a minimalist case/bag.
Hope this helps~
Only issue is the soldered memory though. Would prefer 32 gigs at least.

Open box is probably still worth it, about $120 cheaper.

You have to configure the HP for OLED and the total with 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD is $769.

Absolutely love mine. If I could have gotten the open box excellent for $816, I would and just live with the 16gb of ram as 32gb was really just a nice to have thing.
