    Hello.
    I bought HP laptop model 15-ak005na and i got few questions.
    For gaming should i use HP Cool sense? While playing radiator runs all the time and i don't know is that good or not.
    What means that i got 128GB SSD - where is that memory?

    And finally how to calibrate screen for better blacks and colors. Are there any recommended sites with screen profiles?
    Thank You.

    Don't use cool sense if you are gaming, it disables the Intel Turbo Boost, which you may need for better processing performance. If the fan is running all the time when gaming it is just doing it's job of keeping the laptop cool, so it is a good thing. I'm not sure about your question regarding the 128GB SSD, SSD is faster than a standard mechanical hard drive so that's a good thing. Memory (RAM) is not the same as storage, having 8GB of RAM would be a good idea for the type of laptop you have.
