2018 HP Omen 15 Review (i7 8750h + GTX 1070 Max Q)

[@MathiasTech]

Apparently there are i7 8750H + GTX 1070 Max Q configurations on Amazon for $1.599. For this price it's a great deal then. Check it out: amzn.to/2SfYtW9

[@stephenrussell3839]

was just about to say uk wise its £1500(omen15) for the i7 8th gen 1070 where as the laptop u mentioned that better (in1070 confiq) is 1900 with a 400 save voucher( so it will be around 2300 by time i buy a laptop) where as omen sits at 1500 for all that plus g-Sync

[@StonedNoob]

Straightforward simplistic review. Thanks for the video man. Looking to buy it.

[@MathiasTech]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed!

[@rifkhanjustin6169]

Is it advisable to buy this laptop in 2024?

[@xander8430]

Thanks for the awesome review! Btw I hope I don’t come across as weird or anything but despite my never being into ASMR I could totally see myself falling asleep listening to you read a book or something with light music in the background lmao. Such a calming, serene voice and lovely accent you have.

[@MathiasTech]

Thank you! I'm also not into ASMR but some people said i could do it. Who knows, maybe in the future we'll figure something out LMAO :)

[@Neonoder00]

My god, flawless quality of review! Good job!

[@MathiasTech]

Thanks man, it means a lot!

Love the claim music in background love it

Thanks man! All the music I use on this channel is made by Lakey Inspired, so you can check him out for more :)

2024 and I still using this laptop, just wondering if it is time to jump into apple?

[@indybingyi]

You can add bass with the omen audio control, it also has an equaliser

[@MathiasTech]

Yeah, I know. It doesn't change much though.

[@bag2963]

Hi, thanks for this. Are the hinges unreliable? I'm planning to buy one used.

Thanks dude!

awsome review ~

[@MathiasTech]

Thank you!

[@yayinpinguin4885]

Great video. Im deciding between this one (1070 144 hz) and the Lenovo Y530 (1060 144 hz) Im worried about the thermal management, i know that the Y530 has different heat pipes for CPU and GPU, but idk the Omen. I saw that it has something liquid on the fans. Here the weather is over 30 degrees celcius, so is very important. Where i live the difference of price in offer is about 400 dollars I wanna play and im studying graphic design. With the 1070 i can use better the 144hz screen. Both have good color accuracy. What do you recomend? It will be my first "gaming" laptop, so i wanna make a good choice. Maybe i can go for the lenovo and use the rest of the money for a better mouse.

[@theempowerer5718]

Are you from tech finds? You guys have the same voice

[@MathiasTech]

My brother runs the Tech Finds, that's why he sounds similar.

[@dexr7]

Nice Review!

[@TonalDesigns]

I have this laptop and even on a cooling pad my CPU temps jump to over 97c quickly and constant throttling

[@skaryus]

Very good rewiew dude 👏👏👏

[@MathiasTech]

Thanks! :)

[@xonxt]

Seriously considering buying this one, with a GTX1070 + 256 SSD + 16 Gb RAM. The only thing that bothers me is the single channel RAM, which is bad. Do you know perhaps if they make the 32Gb model as dual channel 2x16Gb?

[@MathiasTech]

To be honest I'm not sure but you can just get the 16gb model and buy another 16gb ram stick, so you'll have it in dual channel.

[@MathiasTech]

I found recently a configuration with 512GB SSD and 32GB RAM in dual channel on Amazon $200 off, check it out if youre insterested amzn.to/2EdUBkQ

[@youreretarded4678]

I mean depending on what you're doing 16gb is plenty to run any game with no issue. Unless you plan on doing video editing then I could see why you would need more.

[@milans362]

I predict at the end of 2019 you will have around the 50k subscribers

[@MathiasTech]

That would be awesome, but frankly, there is no way LOL. Thanks for believing though!

Lol😂😂😂 defo

[@saudibneferdousi8982]

Hello! I'm seriously considering buying this laptop! However, there are always criticism about this laptop's thermals! How does it perform in heavy loading/hardcore gaming sessions? (as in, 7-8 hours around)

[@Aziz-fk4qb]

Did you get this laptop I'm going to get a new laptop but I'm still thinking this one I heard it heat a lot ?

[@ccjh0806]

How is your CPU MAX at 85?? Every other Omen 15s out there are running at 99 MAX

[@souravbaid7672]

Hi By any chance can you do a thermal update video on the HP omen 15, showing how the comfort mode works and whether there is a performance drop because of using comfort mode instead of the performance mode

[@mohamedyassier4361]

Hey sir, what difference between gtx 1070 Max Q and full gtx 1070 ?

[@MathiasTech]

The Max Q version is a bit weaker than a full 1070 but it runs cooler.

[@piyushkandwal]

How was the battery backup for normal usage??

[@MathiasTech]

It lasts around 3 hours and 12 minutes with all the contectivity turned on, screen set to 75% brightness while watching youtube videos etc.

[@vigneshudaya2379]

I can see the model with 1070maxq priced at 1500$ on hp store but asus scar 2 is near the 2k mark..so i feel that hp omen is the better deal for those with budget constraints...though i find the quality and styling of scar 2 to be much better!

[@MathiasTech]

Yeah, true! $1500 for i7 8750h + 1070 max q is a great deal.

[@zubairibnferdous1643]

How's this Omen 15 after long gaming sessions, as in 6-7 hours? does the cpu heat up and throttle, even with the new bios update (and the stock thermal pasting) after 6-7 hours of constant gaming?

[@MathiasTech]

It shouldn't be a problem for this laptop to maintain decent temperatures even during long gaming sessions. When I was testing this laptop in games, there was no CPU throttling at all even when I played 4 hours straight.

[@StonedNoob]

Does this have a mechanical keyboard?

[@edenle1953]

Make an tutorial all setting please,thanks

[@vlonebored]

my friend got the omen 15, he says the thermals are pretty bad like in heavy load the manages to stay around 85-90 which is fine for i7 8th gen laptop but on idle and normal usuage the fans ramp up often the temps hit around 60

[@TechFinds]

It occurs sometimes in Omen i had the same issue but i updated BIOS and it worked normally without strange fan ramping. To make the temperatures lower he can also undervolt the CPU. That's a win-win because you don't lose performance and you have lower temps. Mathias Tech made a guide showing how to do it, maybe your friend would be interested.

[@nrnayeem583]

great vedio i will buy gtx 1060 version

[@MathiasTech]

Great, hope you'll like it.

[@kushagraanand9032]

I don't think the HP omen with GTX 1070 Max q has RGB keyboard lighting

[@zathaca6928]

It does

[@chrisXDfull]

mine only has red for some reason is there a few laptop models that dont have the 4 zone controls?

[@MathiasTech]

Yeah, there's an older version (single hinge one) with red backlight only.

[@chrisXDfull]

@@MathiasTech it looks exactly like yours tho 2 hingews its a (2018) model

[@rosenlubenov4677]

PorraCaralho if u have the 17inch thats why! only the 15inch has this keyboard type with the rgb keyboard.

[@chrisXDfull]

Rosen Lubenov nope its a 15 inch 144hz 1070 max q 16gb ram version i said it exactly looks like his

[@rosenlubenov4677]

PorraCaralho sorry I just got mine and yes I have the rgb keyboard I thought only the 15 inch has the rgb. You can check in the Omen app for the rgb on your keyboard!

[@mon33yaoyy95]

Can u control the fans

[@vlonebored]

i got the rog strix scar 2, lovingg it absoluetly

[@shrey522]

Did you get 1060? If so how are thermals on it? Any cons? Thanks

[@MathiasTech]

Yeah, Scar II is a great one. I've never used a better display in a laptop. Hope it serves you well!

[@das400s]

Is maxQ the only option or there is another version with full 1070, HP site is not showing maxQ

[@MathiasTech]

Omen 15 comes only with the GTX 1070 Max Q, although there's a 17" version with a full GTX 1070

[@das400s]
