Brand new at Best Buy for $999 and includes the updated power adapter where the woot version has the old heavier version that is prone to issues. I bought this from Woot and returned it same week. The laptop would not boot up 50-75% of the time and you cannot access the bios when this occurs because the system performs checks that you can’t overwrite and when they fail, you’re locked out.
I’m currently using this laptop to post this review. With that being said, these have terrible bleeding in the corners. It doesn’t bother me at all but others complain about it often. I mainly play fortnite/smite and some tech work. Really can’t beat the price for performance as this is better than a 1060 and has a 17" monitor and a 7700 processor. The really only issue with this laptop is the monitor is 60Hz and the graphics card can easily push much higher frame rates.
HP support gives me a headache, but Woot was phenomenal and allowed me to return the laptop and got a refund extremely quickly. If you’re looking for a gaming laptop and don’t want to spend $999+ on a new one, this is your best option online. There really is no competition at this price point.
