Screen seems to be 300 nit, 100% sRGB, and the RTX3060 - 95 watts. Decent specs for the price.

    Yep better than my Dell G3 15.6” RTX1650.
    Same size as the Dell but has 16.1” screen.
    What I noticed is that Win11 no longer offers basic Bitlocker drive encryption for users that sign in with their MS account. You must upgrade to Win11 Pro!

      The hp optimiser program. There's a button for it above the numpad. Gotta make sure it hasn't gone to power saving mode

    What's the power setting in the hp optimiser app? There's a shortcut button above the numpad.
    Make sure it hasn't gone down to power saving mode, which it probably does on battery. It lowers the performance heaps.

  Can I add another SSD to this? 512GB after OS etc is like 480GB which I feel I'll run out of quickly.
  If so, what do people suggest I add? Not to phased about price, as long as it's $150 or under.

    Apparently there's two M.2 slots. It's recommended to get a low power drive else may have problems. Such as WD N570

  Hey all, can we get a list going for some bloatware you can remove from this laptop?

  • 

    xoom on 05/12/2022 - 15:00

    Easy way of doing that. Reinstall windows. Bloatware gone in one fell swoop.

  How have others found using this laptop?
  Battery is not good when gaming, probably lasts 2hrs. Build seems good, the screen wobble doesn't bother me too much

    LOL. Nobody games on battery power do they?
    Any gaming laptop would perform poorly and run out of battery quickly.

  Anyone replaced the SSD? Being a gaming laptop I assume dual sided SSDs should be ok no?

    SSD doesn't need replacing, it has 2 slots so you can add the extra one alongside it.

    Here is a link to the service manual:
    http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c07595967.pdf

    Go to page 34 (by the page number in the bottom right), it's page 44 of the pdf going by your apps pdf pagination.

    Not sure about 'double sided ssd' but nvme ones will work in it yes.

  I am getting the issue of the wifi constantly dropping out. Have tried to play around with the adapter settings and it's definitely not my wifi. Anybody else?
