I mostly use this laptop for school and I have been very happy with it in that area. I was playing a steam game on it and it was running very well for around 30 minutes. Around 30 minutes in I smell something burning and think to myself “what could that be?”. It was the last thing I thought it would be, the laptop. I checked the temps and my processor was running at upwards 94 degrees Celsius. I panicked and stopped playing games until I could order a cooling pad. The cooling pad came in and guess what? The laptop won’t charge when it’s plugged in, in fact it says “plugged in, discharging”. Fantastic. I have babied this laptop and handled it with the utmost care. Upon closer inspection, I notice that they somehow bent the heat sinks when they assembled it. Fantastic. This laptop was brand new out of the box and when I place it in my laptop bag, I place it touchpad down, so it’s not possible that I damaged the heat sink. You would literally have to jam a pencil or pen in there. I went with this because I expected HP to deliver a product better than its competition. This is coming from someone who has happily owned multiple HP and ROG products. Luck of the draw I guess.
