HP OMEN Transcend 14 - HP’s First 14” Gaming Laptop!

[@antalpoti]

It's a gorgeous little thing. Wish HP had adopted this design language for the Transcend 16 and the regular Omen 16. This one looks much more modern and sleek. It doesn't look like a miniature version of the Transcend 16 (like the Slim 5 14" and its 16" counterpart).

[@Ali13445]

Indeed, the other omens are starting to look funny as big screen chins are being phased out

[@zakugodofwar1005]

but I miss the minimal blue diamond logo

[@UrdnotAkongo]

With all these OLED laptops coming out, I think the next thing we need to talk about is how each manufacturer warranty is going to deal with burn in.

[@SweetMelaninn]

Ahahaha, yeah

[@DeepteshLovesTECH]

I think it's because now OEMs are confident about OLED.

[@bashfullJ88]

They expect people to throw them away after a year.

[@KieranBLK]

They usually come with at least a 2 year display warranty. Which is likely when you’d see burn in if your usage warrants it. But there is software burn in protection built in for most OLED products.

[@dnz_k]

​@@DeepteshLovesTECH yeah, right 😆

[@vncube1]

Easily one of the prettier 14" gaming laptops. If only the speakers faced the correct direction and they could fit an ethernet port

[@DespyBlitz]

If they have a 16” version then I’m pretty much sold

[@taggie_]

It seems they copied The ROG G series from 2020...

[@DespyBlitz]

@@taggie_ looks more like the legion pro series

[@MyronZhao]

I don't think 14" laptops will ever have an ethernet port

[@HuskyMoment]

@@MyronZhao many have in the past, just companies making gaming laptops refuse to include them for whatever reason. Not really a good reason for it other than the company's design teams deeming it unneeded and just opting not to include it to save money

[@META313.]

The best design gaming laptop from CES, this looks absolutely incredible.

[@Ali13445]

For me, this laptop or the cyborg 14 wins CES in the gaming laptop segment. Truly a dream laptop

[@taupangnang1245]

While you mentioned it, i was pretty shocked that MSI made the 14 inch for the Cyborg lineup...usually they didn't make a 14 inch laptop in a mid range category 😂

[@vmafarah9473]

Last gen cyborg was e waste , underpowered GPU and CPU with shared single fan . The laptop was stripped on quality to save some bucks from top to bottom . I hope this gen is better.

[@the-aviator]

I think this is the laptop I'll be getting when I go to college this year! Perfect for me as it'll be quite compact and light to carry, but also powerful enough to comfortably run some basic games like valorant and good enough for CAD applications and 3D modelling software.

[@killamain6405]

How much wattage is the gpu using when not charged and when charged?

[@the-aviator]

@@killamain6405 not sure about not charged but in the video I believe he said 80W when plugged in

[@Polymath2B]

ME major? There really isn’t much if you want a 14” gaming laptop, but this looks pretty good. Still need to wait for reviews to get a verdict.

[@the-aviator]

@@Polymath2B Yeah I'm going for ME or AE, depends on what I get. not looking for this to be my primary gaming device, I plan on getting a PC for that. I want to use this just for my college work and 3D modelling, I'm looking to develop game assets in my spare time, so I will be using 3D modelling software extensively. This should also be good enough for some light games like Valorant and Minecraft.

[@Polymath2B]

@@the-aviator Ah, this should be more than good enough. Doubt you’ll need a PC honestly if you get a laptop with at least a 4060. I’ve looked into remote accessing a pc from an iPad or another laptop so I wouldn’t have to buy 2 expensive computers. If you end up with a pc, I’d say look into that too if you want to save money. (Plus accessing a powerful pc through something like an iPad just seems fun.)

[@phil2927]

Just a small note, if you try and charge it using the side USB C port, it tells you to use the rear port.

[@TheMarkhhuk]

Nice to see more HPs on th channel Jarrod, my last 3 laptops have all been HP Omens and I personally love them ;-) hope to see more HPs in the overall comparisons

[@KatRollo]

Same. I bought an HP Omen 15 in 2020 because of his review. Love it.

[@ytsearchengine]

​@@KatRolloSir how has been your experience with it? Is it a good laptop?

[@ytsearchengine]

Sir how has been your experience with it? Is it a good laptop?

[@JarrodsTech]

Unfortunately, we have had issues getting HP in recent years. Hopefully, we will get more of them this year though.

[@TheMarkhhuk]

@blissbeautypeace for me personally I find the spec very high for the price and as I use a HP for work everyday I originally picked HP as I'm familiar with them and have never had any issues. I had an MSI before I switched and didn't like it.

[@carlospcpro]

This is almost my dream laptop. I’m just not a fan of the keyboard. But the laminated screen without plastic borders, thin but with a gpu and chargers via usb c is so great

[@osricen]

It'll depend on its thermals and performance for me to choose this instead of the Asus G14! Wish it came with a 4080 option too, though. Those extra 4Gb would do a lot.

[@taupangnang1245]

4070 is a nice border line for G14...i saw the comparation between the 2023 and 2024 model, and damn! 2024 is almost only half the 2023 model in terms of thickness...and i kind of agree with Asus decision, cuz no matter how powerful a 14 inch gaming laptop can be. A 14 inch are always main focused for portability, and i like how they chose to make a clear border line between the 16 and 14 inch model....very sad that we can't see another ROG Flow in CES

[@NinjaKirikoJedi]

Its lower gpu tdp and battery

[@MrKidtendo64]

Looks stunning. I feel like I would be mostly curious about battery life, thermals, and speaker quality.

[@MrHamof]

Maybe it's just the camera, but it looks like the letters on that keyboard are hard to read as a result of the fancy RGB caps. Were they better in person? Or maybe that's just the white color scheme not agreeing with bright buttons.

[@JarrodsTech]

They definitely looked better in person. The RGB on the white laptop didn't show up as nicely on video.

[@alexandregeracao6345]

It looks great and pricing will be the biggest factor on wether this laptop will have a chance against the 2024 Asus G14. As cool as this laptop looks, the G14 is smaller, lighter, has more performance (4070 can go to 100W) and imo it looks more premium. Also AMD even with these new gen Intel chips is still supposedly the more efficient cpu... 2024 is becoming a great year for 14 inch gaming laptops

[@wetalkinb0utpractice]

The diagonal Led strip looks so incredibly tacky though

[@Manuel-rl6um]

One advantage of the HP is the USB Type C charging

[@HoaLeAnh-iz9tw]

G14 goes to a maximum of 90 watt tgp with dynamic boost, not 100

[@Matt-fo4gg]

Agreed on the G14 being the one to beat. I'd say the main pro of the Omen though is that it's USB C charging by default. I wonder how close we can get to full power on the G14 powering it with a USB C power supply - especially considering the G14 has a 180w included power brick.

[@alexandregeracao6345]

Agreed, kind of a shame that they didnt put a usb c charger since usb c cleraly can power 180w

[@Parky-pm2sg]

Also the Asus Strix Scar 18’ looks very promising with improved thermals the new 18’ Mini LED Screen this year and possibly some more upgradability along with WiFi 7 would love you to review this later in the year.

[@mna.author]

[@t-rex8923]

i ve used two hp 360 laptops both had non working keys does this have that also,but i never experienced that in an acer laptop which ive been using it for years

[@ArthurKlucznik]

i purchased the omen 14 laptop and the hyperx cloud 3 wireless headset. These 2 are supposed to connect without the dongle only using the laptop's built in wireless transmitter. However, they wont connect without the dongle for the headset plugged in. Any ideas? Everything like firmware and software are up to date (unless it wasnt the update for that yet)

[@sukhoifan]

Just wanna comment you always have bomb ass tshirts but this one is possibly the best one so far. Such a fantastic band and fantastic album.

[@DeepteshLovesTECH]

Jarrod I'm actually most excited for Thunderbolt 5 and TB5 based eGPU testing. Razer Blade 2024 is the first laptop with TB5. Hoping for USB4v2 laptops soon.

[@cubeix6586]

It's insanely clean and looks elegant. The next thing that we need to know will be the build quality and the cooling system. If both are also solid then this can be an insane contender for others 14 inch gaming laptop.

[@RobertDin-nr7wc]

Hi Jarrod, don't you think a 2.8K display is too much for a rtx 4070 mobile? I mean, with that screen you're forced to play games at a very high native resolution - well above 1440p - and this puts a lot of stress into a rtx 4070 mobile which is comparable to a rtx 3060ti desktop in terms of performance. Alternatively you should lower your resolution from 2.8K to 2k or 1080p when playing games but accept a blurred subpar gaming experience. What do you think? Is that 2.8K display a big con for this gaming laptop?

[@MuntahaZad]

damn you have a very interesting point...

[@taupangnang1245]

This machine are looks so nice, from the ces even, i think Zephyrus G14 and Omen Transcend 14 are the most good looking 14 inch gaming laptop so far 😂

[@dainiusvysniauskas2049]

G14 looks awful in comparison to be honest.

[@taupangnang1245]

@@dainiusvysniauskas2049 yes, it really depends on which kind of approach you'd like more...for me, if you want a beautiful and super clean laptop, Omen 14 is way to go.....and for G14, it has a very unique approach in term of design, it's more aggresive (but less agresive than previous version) but still looks clean

[@devan6079]

He guys please help me So i have two options, either a laptop with i5 12gen and 8gb rtx4060 or i7 12th gen rtx 3060 6gb . Which should I pick

[@blvckgoku]

Of course the 4060

[@ThunderingVipers]

may main concern with these small factor laptops is going to be the gpu and the screen res.. can the 4050 handle 2/3k resolutions is what is going to be a concern imo. i can be wrong but a 4050 is not really made for 2k gaming and these new laptops (HP, mis, zephyrus) are packing a 2.8k or 3k screens with much higher refresh rate

[@aerohydra3849]

I think the idea is for people to use DLSS upscaling coupled with frame gen to be able to run natively at over 100 fps. 2k or 3k even with DLSS performance will still look better than native 1080p and frame gen allows for a game that barely reaches 60 fps to run at over 100 fps. Obviously it's not as good as a native 3k at 120 fps without any trickery but that requires a lot more power, and at 2k 120 fps with DLSS and frame gen is still going to be a nice improvement over 1080p 60 fps.

[@no23200]

I hope they replace their 16 inch omen with similar design with thin bezzles. I really want to see such a design in a 16 inch chassis

Will you be reviewing the Acer Predator Helios 18’ laptop later in the year not sure if they have a booth at ces but probably one of the best laptops of 2024 if improved thermals and upgradability with that upgraded 4090 GPU from the 4080 last year and excellent port selection. Also love the Magkey 3.0 package that comes with the Helios 18’ for Mechanical keyboard.

[@KieranBLK]

Mmmm. This one is really good. Amazing design and all. I personally need a 16” option though, hopefully with a few more ports, top facing speakers, and possibly a numpad, all of that paired with a good manufacturer software experience that’s gives as much control over the hardware as possible and HP would have me fully gripped no matter the price.

[@riklaunim]

This will still be premium priced ;) Curious how glossy screen will "perform" in actual usage, kind of keeping an eye on this one. Cuious if Gigabyte will refresh Aeros as well. All the smaller ones even if getting 32GB RAM this year still lack extra storage options.
