The HP Pavilion Gaming 17-cd1515ng Gaming Notebook comes with a frankly stunning display. It’s big for a notebook, coming in at 17.3 inches wide (that’s 1920 x 1080 when you’re setting up your games), and the quality is really excellent. For one, it’s powered with 144Hz. Wondering what that means? Well, in short, it means that instead of most screens that refresh maybe 60 times a second, this one refreshes 144 times. Every single second. That translates to a flawless, smooth picture without jumping or shuddering.

Graphics to blow your mind

Want to get lost in your own world? This notebook can help you do that. Armed with the NVIDIA® GeForce® RTX™ 2060 Super Max-Q graphics card, this notebook is capable of some serious stuff. For a start, the superior RT Cores inside the graphics card mean you’re going to be seeing seriously realistic shadows, refractions, and reflections – all the details that make the world seem real. It isn’t just that though. This graphics card is driven by AI, which supercharges the speed at which the graphic card works, increasing substantially the performance of the notebook. You’re also never going to have to select the option to reduce the amount of objects in field. The card’s Variable Rate Shading means you’re going to see more detail and more objects than ever before, with huge vistas spreading out before you.

Oodles of space (and time)

One of the worst gaming experiences – and one of the saddest, too – is the seemingly inevitable moment where you have to decide which games to clean, which beloved characters to strip of their progress. Space is at a premium. Not here. This notebook comes with a colossal terabyte of space. That’s 1000 gigabytes, all of which you can fill with great games, superb characters, and your own stories. And what’s even better is that with the superior battery life this notebook has, you can keep playing those games and filling up that storage for even longer.

Full speed ahead

Armed with the Intel® Core™ i7-10750H processor, this notebook is no slouch. Now, most good processors these days are quad-core – this one has six. That means rapid processing, and, thanks to the newly introduced Hyper-Threading, you can have up to twelve threads running at a time. That means you can play the most complex games out there, as much as you like, without a hitch.
