I Would Like To Buy A HP OMEN 15 Notebook PC

[JustCuz]

If you want an optical disc drive (CDs/DVDs), you have to purchase it separately. Is that what you meant?

Yes; I Will Get A USB Disc Drive.

Also About The GPU Again I Was Reading The Specs From This WebSite:

Are These The Same Specs On The GPU I Will See When I Get The HP OMEN 15?

You are looking at the specs for the MXM version of the GTX860M. I do not believe the Omen uses an MXM video card. If it does, that means you can theoretically remove and replace it. If it were MXM it would not have switchable graphics it would only use the 860M at all times. The MXM version of the card will tend to be more powerful than the one soldered to the motherboard.

So Beacue They Soldered It On The Board It Will Never Perform Like If It Was MXM Right?

[Huffer]

Close but not quite if I am right. I can't find any information specifically about whether it is an MXM card or not but logically if it has Intel HD4600 and nVidia graphics and supports Optimus then it is not an MXM video card.

Okay; What Is The Difference Between A MXM Video Card And The One Soldered On The Board? And How Would If Affect The Graphics Performance?

[Huffer]

I have received clarification that: 1) it is not an MXM card; BUT, 2) the chip used by HP is identical in performance specs to the MXM version of the card so the link you gave does accurately describe what you would be getting if you bought the Omen. I am jealous if you do.
