3-months later still very happy

The laptop is excellent. The AMD Vega in the Intel processor is an excellent idea. I hope this takes off and more laptops start using the 8705G or future processors. I have no problems of heating, even when doing VR development or running video encoding tasks in parallel. I have also experimented with deep learning on the ROCm and it works fine on the laptop.

It's a great laptop (the perfect laptop for what I wanted)

The computer is exactly as advertised. It's a great laptop (the perfect laptop for what I wanted). Plus the seller answered questions fast and the delivery was quick. I'm not now sure what else you could want, I'm happy with everything.

I'm a perfectionist and for me it is a compulsion to get it just right even if it means going through a ton of laptops and spending more or inconveniencing myself over and over until I get it just right.Im a fan of HP's customer support so i normally stick to HPs. This is the creme de la creme of premium laptops, period! I can?t point to a single flaw here. Flabbergasting 4K screen quality and super responsive multi-tasking with the i7 8705G!Highly recommended seller and item, now back to "spectre-cular" bliss :).

Good high performance laptop
Shah145 (Feb 19, 2019)

I am an avid user of powerful laptops such as this one. After throwing everything at it i must say it is one of the best i've ever worked on/enjoyed. Used it for gaming, video rendering, movies, multi tasking and a few more resource hogging activities and it ran smooth as butter, no issues such as stuttering or overheating. The Radeon GPU and Intel 8705H combo really takes this above and beyond. Will continue to use and post more updates soon.

So I bought this laptop as a gift for my dad, and I was delivered soap to my utter dismay and embarrassment. I promptly complained to Amazon and after a harrowing two weeks wait I got sent a replacement for the same.The product itself is very well built, a little pricey but worth it. However, if you live outside the country, it is advisable to buy it there as the taxes make it a heck of a lot pricier.The import cost is 1.81 lakhs and not 1.95 lakhs as advertised.I would also like to add two small problems that my dad found after using the laptop,1) The stylus is nowhere as refined as the Apple stylus or the Samsung stylus2) There is no included McAfee antivirus

A beautiful machine. I have had no issues with it since my recent purchase. I will be working much more with it as I get rid of my 13 year old Samsung laptop. I'll write another review within the year as an update.

Good, but disappointed with the some HP Issues
Sanjoy K. Mahanty (Oct 11, 2018)
on Amazon
I did A LOT of research before buying this. EVERYTHING works perfectly, and the screen looks good. There is one MAJOR problem however. Apparently some of these HP models / products have a hardware defect with the fans. So there are only two modes now. Maximum speed, or completely silent. It glitches at startup, and as long as I have the laptop on, the fans are running at max speed. This is a problem, considering that I planned to use this at school, and don't want my classroom to sound like an airplane. Will be looking into a replacement through amazon right now, since this is a GREAT product, and I really want to have one that doesn't have a defect.

It certainly looks solidly built. In (admittedly short) use I have encountered no problems whatsoever. The computer runs hot, especially when it sits on a relatively smooth surface. I believe the air vents are blocked when the laptop is on a desk. The fan then gets noisy.

Sleek fast and very nice laptop, so far everything is good, it is quiet and very responsive, time will tell just had it for 1 month, that is why I can give only 4 stars.

Overall good, battery life falls short
Imgen (May 24, 2019)

The good: screen, performance, and stylusThe bad: battery life, big bezelI mistakenly bought this laptop, I thought I was buying the gem cut edition. After getting it, it's a mixed bag. Performance is quite good. Startup very fast, overall quite fast. But battery life is quite bad. The bezel is quite big and the weight is a little below my expectation - too heavy

Unimpressed with Shipping and No Power Issues.
Kenneth C Schuetz (Dec 11, 2018)
on Amazon
I will most likely update this once I get replacement. I ordered this last week, was guaranteed by Saturday. However it was updated to Monday. On top of that when I received it today, I was a bit upset as it was supposed to be signed for, however the UPS agent apparently signed for it himself and left it outside. When I did finally get it and unboxed it, when I plugged in the Power Cord no light, no power at all. I tried 2 additional chargers and it still would not power on or charge. From what I am reading this is a common problem, now I am waiting for a replacement, hopefully the replacement will work.

HP Doesn't Support This Hardware Configuration
Charles Crusham III (Jan 20, 2019)
on Amazon
It's been 6 months since the latest update for Windows 10 (build1809) has been released and there still isn't a compatible driver for the video card, which causes the windows update to fail. HP still has this model listed as windows 10 compatible despite the fact that it will not update to the latest windows version. HP is claiming that it's not their problem if the update fails so they won't warranty the laptop. This is a high end laptop that HP isn't standing behind, so I guess this is the last HP laptop I'll ever buy. You're better off buying a microsoft surface book, at least then you'll get windows updates.

I really dont know a lot about its other features because I still prefer using my old laptop. This is my worst purchase ever. It heats so much, I could bake a cake on it when it is running. God knows why did they even release the product. It actually burnt my skin when I had it on my lap.

Bought this for my daughter in college and this was not a good purchase. After a month, it has already been freezing up. Had the hard drive replaced and it keeps freezing. I will not purchase HP again. Should have got a Dell or Macbook.
