Rank #5 in Best Ryzen 7 Laptop UK 2026: Vega 8 Under a Gaming Badge
HP 15.6" Laptop, Ryzen 7 7730U, 16 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The HP 15.6 costs £659.00 with a Ryzen 7 7730U, 16 GB of memory and a 512 GB SSD — and it is one half of the strangest coincidence in this article, because a Dell in the same ranking costs exactly the same £659.00 with the same processor.
It is rated 4.1 stars from 58 ratings. Buyers describe it as great for video editing and much faster than their previous laptop, and nobody mentions games, which is right for a 60 Hz screen and shared graphics.
How those 58 ratings break down
An average hides its own shape. This is the spread behind the 4.1 stars.

Questions people ask

For the weight, the numeric keypad and the rating: 4.1 stars from 58 buyers against 4.0 from 44. On the screen and the storage, the Dell wins.
Can it game?
No. The graphics are integrated and share the system memory, and the screen runs at 60 Hz. Buyers here talk about video editing, not games.
