![]() Less demanding titles like Fortnite and older games such as Titanfall 2 didn't skip a beat, either, even on their highest detail settings.īut, all that performance does hurt battery life. ![]() The case was the same with Far Cry 5, which hit 71fps on the game's built-in benchmark. I fired up Battlefield V, set quality to high and ran through a couple of campaigns full-screen at 1080p and never dropped below 60 frames per second during the action. My laptop's component combo turned out excellent performance for daily tasks and gaming. You can also just take advantage of its HDMI or USB-C ports for an external monitor if you're doing color-critical content creation. The base display is OK for general use, but its color seemed muted and it didn't get especially bright - a frequent issue for budget laptops. You can also bump up the display to a 144Hz panel for better gaming performance or a 4K-resolution display (instead of 1,920x1,080-pixel resolution) aimed at content creators. However, if you have money to spend, you can go the other direction and load it up with 32GB of memory and keep the dual-drive array I had. Modern PC games can run 50GB or more, so a 256GB SSD isn't going to go very far, though. Then you can just unscrew and pry off the bottom panel and add more memory and storage on your own in the future. That gets you the two important components - the Core i7 CPU and GTX 1660 Ti GPU - for less than $1,000. To save yourself some money, at least initially, you could drop down to 8GB of RAM and make do with only a 256GB SSD and get rest of the Pavilion Gaming 15 configuration I tested for $900. ![]() Both run on an Intel Core i7-9750H processor and, generally speaking, it's a good deal for what you're getting in design, specs and performance, and HP offers some nice upgrade options if you buy direct. Prices start at $770 on HP's site for the latest version of the laptop with Nvidia's 4GB GeForce GTX 1650 graphics card, but I tested a $1,250 version with a stronger 6GB GTX 1660 Ti. ![]()
