HP Omen 15t RTX 2070 - Is the Max-Q Good Enough for Designers

[@MartinRMcGowan]

I bought this laptop as my first computer upgrade since 2015, and on top of trying DaVinci Resolve for the first time I’ve been floored by the performance differential. Plus the games have all run super fast and it’s great to see 144hz refresh for the first time.

[@BenGKaiser]

Great to hear!

[@Krishna-pt3yu]

That 4k export will be fast with the 2019 model with has a i7 9750H which means more base and boost clocks speed, with a Samsung 970 Evo SSD and a 90w RTX 2070 max-q GPU. One thing that is great is that the CPU does not thermal throttle in 2019 model and it is liquid metal cooler according to HP. It would take around 3 to 4 minutes to export that 4k footage.

[@Tech4Life]

That's a false claim I can speak from personal experience, check the video on my channel

[@hoopdie]

One of my major reasons that I bought this laptop is the plenty choice of ports, especially mini display port.. Hope I won't get a unit that has something wrong with it that I have to return it back to the US. BTW thanks for making a review about this laptop from a creative/content creator perspective. You're the first one who made one of this, I think. Most are game centered, and yeah I know it is primarily a gamer laptop.

[@BenGKaiser]

I hope that the laptop works well for you! And I am so glad you found this review so helpful!

[@pablorojonavarro3711]

Thank you! Its difficult to find reviews oriented to the creative people, most of the just focus on gaming. So your video is really helpful for many people!! I will buy it.

[@BenGKaiser]

So stoked you can appreciate the creator oriented videos!

[@Masher164]

Thanks man been looking for a review of the latest Omen edition for a very long time. You gave me everything i needed to know. 🤘

[@BenGKaiser]

Stoked this helped you out!

[@bediosoro7786]

Can you compare it to Lenovo y740 because they seem similar in all points.

[@Tech4Life]

He forgot to mention the HP omen have serious heating issues, I've owned 4(getting a 5th replacement) in the last year and all of them overheat out of the box, I'm currently making a series on my channel showing how easily they overheat these laptops thermal throttle upto 35% of their performance away when doing anything demanding even with liquid metal. Videos of proof are on my channel

[@BenGKaiser]

Thanks for the insights. I will keep this in mind for future reviews.

[@aarongreenfield9038]

@@BenGKaiser. I guess that's just the nature of the beast having such power in such a small slim package, I got a cooler for mine, The i star to be more precise, it has 5 fans, and it has blue led's, looks pretty cool and it works perfect.

[@chuchurasai4623]

Never again for Hp laptop very bad thermal and noise im talking from experienced so nahhh..

[@four_twenty_sixty_nine]

Interesting review. I’m looking to get the RTX 2060 for gaming and uni work.

[@abdulrehmanmian1476]

"uni work"

[@luckyKumar-ur9xh]

Quality of your videos are very good.. thank you..❤️

[@BenGKaiser]

Thank you Meteor!

[@pipeb.3644]

But can you upgrade the storage size? Because I'm looking the same laptop that has only 512gb SSD

[@BenGKaiser]

Yes you can!

[@pipeb.3644]

Thanks for the answer, I already have it 😅 But I have the I5 9th gen. And GTX 1650. Still worth it!

[@th40417]

1 tb SSD is possible to upgrade.

[@JohnSmith-hm8xl]

PLease put your laptop over table or flat surface

[@m94w]

How loud/hot does it run doing non-intensive tasks (web browsing, movies etc?)

[@BenGKaiser]

It is fairly cool, but you will hear the fan kick on for sure. It is NOT a quite machine.

[@jameshandley8252]

What about RGB color o. The keyboard?

[@jupersan]

Thanks for your videos Ben. It would be nice if you could swap the HDD for a SDD to compare the results and see if it is worth it.

[@kevinle5237]

Can i use it to edit video with Adobe programs ?This item does not ship to Italy. Why?

[@BenGKaiser]

Yes, you absolutely can! I am not sure why... I am sorry to hear that it cannot ship to Italy.

[@MohammadAshraf561]

Great video

[@kevinsilorio4209]

nice review .. hi ben i have an omen 15. Model Number: 15-dc1018ca just wanna ask if what model is this 2018 or 2019.. thanks

[@saedyaish7768]

Who is better for designer and programming HP Omen or Zbook??

[@BenGKaiser]

It is built on the same structural platform. The main difference is the GPU. If you are not going to be video editing I would go for the ZBook with the SSD - amzn.to/2YSKvxW

144hz G-Sync IPS... whats the input lag ? Or ms

[@-joo3033]

9ms...i think

[@RifetOkic]

@@-joo3033 Thank you sir. That's quite allot then hehe. But very nice display nonetheless, it's hard to get a low ms on IPS.

[@-joo3033]

@@RifetOkic other source said there's going to be 240hz 4ms... I will confirm when my friend gets one

[@-joo3033]

The 144hz 9ms sounds more realistic

[@cmamo3249]

I hace this pc and when i play videogames like fortnite my monitor switch off and my pc too but not like a thermal limit of pc, it's like monitor goes down and also the pc too but after 15 seconds. Anyone knows what's that problem? Im spanish and i prefer the respond in my idiom thank you ;D

[@Naomi-zd3pk]

Awesome video - I’m a photographer and I’ve just had a really bad experience with my Apple MacBook Pro (it lost all of my files!) and so have decided to switch back to a trusty windows machine. I’ve been struggling to find a machine that I’d be completely happy with, but your review has swayed me to the HP Omen! I’ve had HP machines in the past and always liked them and this looks like an absolute beast, I just needed confirmation that it worked well for content creators, so thanks so much! Oh, and I’m one of the few females who watches your channel 😆

[@BenGKaiser]

Hey! I love it! Thanks for watching my channel! I am so glad you found the confirmation you needed in this video.

[@ILLRICARDO]

I am worried about those hinges, might go for the Lenovo y740

[@BenGKaiser]

The Lenovo Y740 - amzn.to/34g9VHN - would be a great buy!

Hey Shivansh. Thanks for the question! Personally I am not a gamer so my expertise does not lend to gaming tests. Do you have any questions that would relate to design, video editing, or animation? Thanks!

Hi this computer good is bad for fortnite game?

[@BenGKaiser]

I have heard it performs well, however I do not have any personal experience. So I hope someone can weigh in on the comments.

[@aarongreenfield9038]

I have ran fortnight, Call of Duty World War II, Black Ops 3, black Ops 4, Star Wars battlefront 2, mass effect andromeda, crisis 3 destiny 2, anthem, Apex legends, overwatch, cs go, player unknown battlegrounds, star wars old republic, World of Warcraft, battlefield v, And a whole bunch of others, All at Max settings, and all got 140 to 150 and even more FPS. So it will pretty much run anything you want.

[@Tech4Life]

@@aarongreenfield9038 except it will overheat

[@aarongreenfield9038]

@@Tech4Life. Yes they do run incredibly hot, I got a cooler and it solved the problem. I even put an aluminum heat sink on the power adapter because it gets very hot too. It is a bit inconvenient, but it is still pretty cool to have that much power in such a small package. It absolutely blows away my GTX 1080 desktop, and most laptops, as long as you can keep it cool.

[@Tech4Life]

@@aarongreenfield9038 I mean a i7-4970 with a amd rx5500xt would be much better for rendering than this laptop not to mention would only cost you 1/3 of the price I have a 20 inch thermal take cooler but it does absolutely nothing I've tried others as well which I'll be posting a video about soon ps it really doesn't make a difference, you're probably not using it's full performance like you would in gaming(sorry if I seem harsh)
