When with amd CPU ? :-)

[370nits]

242.7Hz ≤ 44 % brightness setting

PWM starts below 99% of brightness ofc

Yet another higher end laptop for content creators with no AMD CPU, so boring.

By not going AMD in the CPU part, they had to go and put a hi end GPU in there to have one advantage over Apple and managed to ruin everything. Good for them.

You're stuck with the 4K AMOLED if you want the 2060; there is no option to have the 1080p IPS panels.

The thermal performance of this laptop is even better than the XPS 17, and way better than the XPS 15... This difference is not reflected in the average points as all three laptops gets ~100 points in performance section.

The i9 configuration should have similar performance with laptops with 4800H

Damn, I thought you were going to review the FHD/1660ti model from the first impressions. I have a feeling that will be a much better model.

[Nic16]

Good review! May you please check if the Quiet thermal profile is actually louder than other profiles in low-load scenarios? There are a discussion on HP Community and a discussion on Reddit about that.

Also, you can turn off the always on fans in bios.

Is it going to be released in Germany too?

You say the image is grainier than other glossy panels. Would last years Aero 15 OLED laptop be less grainy? I'd like to know as soon as possible.

[WeekendVibester]

Yeah, the aero has no grain at all, in fact. The HP is a touchscreen, the, Aero isn't. I have the model reviewed, and the grain is only noticeable on white backgrounds. You have to be very close to the screen to see it, maybe 8-12 inches away from it.

Is it going to be released in Germany too?

Already available!

[TomBaz]

Thanks for the repose. One more thing. Their are different color profiles. Would any of the profiles make it better? If then then I guess it really is a hardware issue. I've had a matte screen laptop and never got used to it. Now that I'm getting a new laptop, I want the cleanest image possible which is why I'd prefer glossy.
