And yes, this machine has 32 GB of RAM. While memory prices continue to make us shout "no way" from the rooftops of 18WENKU Towers, finding 32 GB of decently-speedy DDR5-5600 MT/s in a gaming laptop under $1,500 has become a next-to-impossible task.
All of this comes wrapped up in a very handsome chassis design, and it's definitely discrete enough to take to work without your colleagues giggling at you in your next meeting.
So, while there are a few caveats to be aware of, I really can't beat this lappy for the money right now. HP says that you should hurry up, as there are only a few left. Ordinarily I'd raise a sceptical eyebrow at such claims, but in this case, this deal does seem like an attempt to clear some leftover stock for cheap before the pricier models come in.
Fingers crossed that's not the case, but regardless, this machine is here to brighten up our cheap gaming laptop deals page with a little dose of sunshine, and I can't help but be pleased about that.
