Back in 2015, HP introduced the first Wars Edition of its laptop. This time around, the company equipped the laptop with one of the best chipsets in the industry right now. That’s the AMD Ryzen 7 Pro – 4750U chipset that is giving power to the notebook.

However, the bigger variant offers higher speeds, extra memory, and wider bandwidth. It’s also available in different resolutions starting in 1080p to 4K UHD. Moreover, it has 16GB of RAM and 512GB of Internal Storage. Worth noting that the new laptop also features the world’s first PCIe 4.0 connectivity.
