Looks nice the spec, but would of liked to see an upgrade to Intel 9th Gen Mobile if they get at announced at CES 2019 and per key RGB as well, looks like therr will be an RTX mobile GPU
240hz in laptops nice. I personally prefer to get closer to the desktop variant of the gpu and cpu. This 1070 is 90w where desktops are 150w (or more) and other slightly thicker laptops are 120w-150w.
Same thing with the intel cpu. You want a k variant cpu and not the max-q gpu. Otherwise it could be alot slower than you thought you were getting when you saw gtx 1070 and i7-8750. Not to mention it might throttle. Would always check forums before buying a gaming laptop.
I know a 1070-MaxQ is less performance than a 1070 laptop or 1070 desktop, but as been rumours in regards to Intel 9th gen CPU would think that HP would combine that with RTx mobile GPU, but neither product has officially been announced by Intel or Nivida
AMD and mobile part - don't make me laugh! AMD has no history of making any even slightly descent mobile parts. They even sold their mobile GPU tech long time ago.
The only perfect time to buys something is when you need it anyway. So don't count on AMD about that. BTW every laptop that I had failed because of the ATI/AMD GPU and one of the laptops had a Athlon 64 dual core - it was slow but I didn't need but it kept me warm during the long cold winters.

Nice specs but not the perfect time to buy a gaming laptop considering 7nm is coming for AMD. Mobile parts might arrive next year though.Zingam - Monday, January 7, 2019 - link
