HP Pavilion Gaming 15.6-inch FHD Gaming Laptop (Ryzen 5-4600H/8GB/1TB HDD/Windows 10/NVIDIA GTX 1650 4GB/Shadow Black), 15-ec1024AX + Headset + Bag + Printer + Mice + Monitor

So this is my first gaming laptop purchase, and I wanted to be sure about picking a laptop with good CPU, GPU and thermal performance. After spending a fortnight looking for the right ones, I settled for this.Here are the Standout features:1. CPU- Ryzen 4600h hexacore blows away the competition, i5 10th gen and i7 9th gen quad core CPUs have no chance in front of this one.2. GPU- Nvidia 1650 with 4gb RAM is sufficient for the price, 60+ FPS on Most AAA titles, make sure to switch off Battery saving mode in nvidia experience centre to get the best performance3. Thermal performance is absolutely amazing, HP's OMEN series would feel shy of its performance against this one4. Battery backup and charger provided are pretty good, 150watt fast charger for this price is an awesome additionThings that are okayish:1. Screen: the panel and picture quality is good, but brightness could have been a bit better. 60hz at this price point is more than enough, AAA titles won't run beyond 70-80hz on this config2. RAM: Though it's 3200mhz RAM, but it's from samsung so performance is nothing to write home about. Good thing, we can add another 8gb stick to bump up the performance3. HDD: Description on Amazon says it's 7200rpm, but it's 5400rpm and just like all HDDs it's slow AF. Crystalmark read scores range between 80-130mbps at best. But I have added a Kingston a2000 500gb m.2 Nvme SSD, which easily gives 2000mbps+ read speed. Boot time went from over 1 min to under 10 seconds. Pro tip- don't clone windows to SSD, do a fresh install, Warranty stays intact. Disable all unnecessary items during startup using task manager.4. Keyboard Backlight: Nitpicking, but I would have preferred RGB. White backlight looks cool though.Overall it's an amazing pick, HP has done a commendable job with this one and it's an easy pick over similar offerings by ACER and ASUS. Go for this if your budget is 60-70k, add a 500gb SSD and 8GB RAM to get the best out of this beast.

Update: i run it without ssd and it runs horribly slow and freezes sometimes.[I got this for 58k]Lets get straight into it:1)PROCESSOR- its very good since it has ryzen 4600h, i am able to play gta 5 on high settings very smoothly with good frame rates( i think it can work on ultimate settings too but i didn't felt the need of it), i even play other games like Hitman and Unreal tournament on Ultimate settings with no lag as of yet.2) BATTERY- is somewhere i feel it could have been better. I've only used it while playing games till now (ill be updating) and it drains fast, i usually have to plug charger.3) DISPLAY- for me its fantastic. The brightness is apt for indoor usage( you'll face problem outdoors). It has anti glare which is essential for my eyes.4) CAMERA/SPEAKERS/TOUCHPAD-Camera is the worst you cam say, you'll have to compromise with the pixels..its qyite grainy..i mean its not that bad but you get my point. Speakers are upto the mark infact, really good at this price range.it has B&o speakers just above the keypad (which adds to looks too) and its very audible with sufficient bass (not for bassheads but hey its a laptop). Touchap, for me is very nice it has got this matt finish which feels good.NOW SOME NEGATIVES:FIRST THING, BUY A SSD.Secondly i am experiencing lags after windows updates in just 2 weeks. But its a windows glitch i hope i can fix it.Battery as i said could have been better.Also camera isn't that good.The material its build of, some plastic i guess although looks Premium but when it catches fingerprint very fast, you'll need to clean it to keep it new.BEST THING:IS THAT this provides ryzen 4600h and games are running very smoothly. It does its job. The NVIDIA gtx 1650 adds to it.**You can buy this 1 tb variant and add a 512gb ssd yourself and it'll cost you less and better than many other laptops of the same price range.One more thing its Light weight and portable.I'll be updating it later.
