HP 15

The HP 15 dy24nr is a laptop that falls short of expectations given its price point. With a lackluster unboxing experience, mediocre build quality, and notable omissions such as a backlight keyboard, it's clear that cost-cutting measures were taken to reach the desired price tag. Despite having an i5 1135G7 processor, eight gigabytes of RAM, and a Wi-Fi six card, the laptop's shortcomings in other areas make it hard to recommend for its supposed list price of around $650. This review will delve into the specifics of what makes this laptop less than ideal.

MSI GP66 Leopard

The MSI GP66 Leopard is a gaming laptop that prioritizes performance over aesthetics, boasting the latest NVIDIA RTX 3000 series graphics. With a powerful Intel Core processor and up to 64GB of RAM, this laptop delivers top-notch gaming experiences. The cooling system features multiple heat pipes and a shared exhaust fan for efficient heat dissipation. While it may lack some ports and design flair compared to its predecessors, the GP66 Leopard remains an excellent choice for gamers seeking high-performance computing on-the-go.
