HP Pavilion AMD Ryzen 5-4600H, 15.6 Inches 144 Hz Fhd Screen Gaming Laptop (8 Gb Ram, 4 Gb Nvidia 1650Ti Graphics, 1Tb HDD + 256 Gb Ssd, Windows 10 Home with Advanced Thermal Management, 1.98Kg)

Probably the best rig for its price range, especially if this is your first gaming setup, or . After weeks and weeks of searching for the right laptop, I came across this and saw that 64,5k was getting me what sounded like a blistering experience (even with my limited knowledge of computer hardware at the time).ProcessorThe Ryzen 5-4600H this laptop comes with is currently 1 generation behind the latest lineup sold by AMD, but nonetheless it is an absolute bang for buck. It works flawlessly- everyday applications load at an instant, and performance-heavy games (Destiny 2, Control, Rocket League, Just Cause 3) load in about 20 seconds or less. This processor also has a huge market share, and is very popular. Of course, it's also blisteringly fast. It's even said to outperform previous-gen Intel core i7s!Graphics Processing Unit / GPUThe GTX 1650 is an excellent entry-level graphics card. AAA titles run fine on medium settings, Minecraft with shaders can run at 80-120 FPS on average. It won't run all games at the best graphic settings, but considering what you get, it's phenomenal. I personally think the investment for the1650Ti isn't worth the 8k-10k additional spending. The performance improvement for the Ti is not worth the money, as far as I've seen from reviews on Amazon.StorageThe laptop comes with a hybrid-drive storage setup, where you have the faster but smaller SSD and the slower but larger HDD. In this case the setup is a 256 GB SSD with a 1 TB HDD.SSDs ensure faster (in this case extremely fast) computer boot-up times, and the hard disk, while slower in terms of storage, gives you the opportunity to store more games. So the total storage space is around 1100-1200 GB, which will get you by for years if you keep your storage usage in check.Other factorsScreen/monitor - 144 Hz refresh rate! Extremely smooth. There is a very noticeable visual difference between 60 Hz and 144 Hz. It's amazing, and it really adds to the gaming experience. Everything looks better. If you play fast-paced FPS titles, you will find that the higher refresh improves your success rates (admittedly only marginally) because the monitor will visually update more often and you'll be able to see more of what happens in front of you in-game.Sound - Good, better than what you'd expect from standard, in-built speakers. Plenty of base, reasonable clarity. The B&O audio control app comes standard, which is a nice-to-hav,e though personally I don't use it much.RAM - 8 GB is good enough for many games, though obviously for optimal performance you may like to install another 8 GB stick for a total of 16 GB. However with a browser like Chrome open, memory usage can hover between 60%and 80%.The only disadvantage here is that the maximum supported memory is 16 GB, making it unsuitable for very high-end editing, 3D modelling and other creative work. The standard for laptops is 8GB RAM nowadays, and naturally upgrading your RAM will give you an edge.AestheticsThe laptop is made of plastic, but it looks good overall regardless. The back-length of the laptop is angular, and there's a cool looking polygon motif around the speaker area in front of the keyboard. It's a nice touch. The keys are backlit with white lights. Sadly there is no RGB option, unlike the competing Acer Nitro laptops. I don't think I need to mention this but Windows 10 is a nice-looking operating system.TLDR/conclusionAll in all, if you're an emergent gamer, this is an excellent purchase and a laptop seriously worth considering. While in terms of hardware it doesn't compete with top-of-the-line gaming rigs, it has excellent value for money. Buy it either standard or on-sale, as I feel both are worth your money.

laptop is nice and its been 5 days since it arrived and it is currently working in good condition . now the main topic - Gaming - i play cs go and it works fine . the fps fluctuates around 115-160 and its good . graphics are fine and laptop doesnt heat or throttle . yes there is screen bleeding on left top corner but its okay with that . the hinge is also fine and it is not so controversial to talk about . light weight . sleek design . perfect speakers . good overall performance.

One word awesome product at this price point. Those who are thinking of buying best gaming laptop at the budget range of 60k to 70k, then this is undisputedly best among others (except Asus TUF A15 laptop subject to availability, going by the specs). Will write brief review about the this product - Pros and Cons.Lets talk about the highlighted key features - 144 hz refresh rate, Ryzen 5 - 4600H, Nvedia GTX 1650, 256 GB SSD along with 1 TB HDD - what else do you need at the price of Rs. 68kPros -Processor - AMD Ryzen 5 4600H, this is the best processor among this price range, even at the higher budget laptops, this processor is getting used. Have gone through many reviews of processor where benchmark of this processor is even better Intel Core i7 - 9th Gen and better than the Core-i5 10th Gen. If you will compare by the value for money then this processor is undoubtedly better then Core i5 and Core i7.Display - Full HD - IPS display with 144 hz refresh rate, its a gamer's delight. You wont get any better deal than this. Only laptop of Asus is providing high refresh rate at this price range, but availability is the big issue (I have waited almost 1 month still its unavailable). I think this is the differentiating factor among all other bunch of gaming laptops. Although colour contrast of this laptop is not so punchy, but no regrets, you won't be able to differentiate untill you are pro video editors or animator. For gaming its best; easily you will get 60 FPS to 80 FPS frame rates in games.Graphic Card - Nvidia GTX 1650 - Just name is enough to boast about the graphics. You will be able to play all modern games at high or very high settings. There is only difference of 7 to 10% in performance if you will compare with 1650ti, so as per my view giving up 7 to 8 k of your hard earn money for 1650ti is not advisable.Storage - 256 GB SSD along with 1 TB HDD. Its more than enough storage. Most importantly it comes with 256 GB SSD which is like icing on the cake if you will analyse it with this price point. Those who are not aware about the SSD, please understand SSD storage device speed is 17 times faster than the normal HDD drive. Normal boot time of this laptop is 10 to 12 secs. thanks to SSD.Others - Sound is good, battery back-up not yet tested but i think its better than the ASUS laptops (based on the various articles), Bluetooth ver 5, etc.Cons -Ports - Limited ports, only 2 usb ports, should have been more usb ports;Expendable Ram -is only till 16 gb, 32 GB upgradable memory would have been better, but 16 GB is more than enough atleast for next 3 yrs.Overall my feedback is that its advisable to everyone who wants to buy good gaming laptop at this price range and lost the patience to wait further for ASUS laptops to be in stock. Also, as per my view this laptop is better value for money as compare to other HP laptops like 15-ec1048AX, 15-ec1051AX.I will be doing full unboxing and detailed review at youtube in some time. I will update my review post that and also share the link of my review soon. If anybody is having any query can please ask me at [email protected] then bye take care, stay safe and game on...!!!
