Design
The new modern look of the laptop is much appreciated, now with a sleek look and trimmed bezels, the gaming laptop looks really attractive. Also, the numerical keyboard is now nowhere and a new diamond logo along with a blue-green gradient along with an aluminium-finished palm rest. Weighing just 2.37 kg as a gaming laptop, housing that much power inside it is much appreciated from HP. HP now features Full-size Island-style one zone dragon white backlit keyboard and comes in two colours: Mica Silver and Shadow Black

Battery
The battery life, HP has claimed a handsome 12.5 hours battery life but will obviously be a lot less during gaming, still if you could manage something close to it while not gaming then its great for other productivity works as well. Also, it supports HP fast charge that helps you charge the battery up to 50% in 45 minutes, no the fastest bit still good to have.
