The HP Omen continues to offer budget-friendly prices while maintaining great performance and solid build quality. While other brands continue to push the prices of their models upward the HP Omen holds its position as a sub $1500 and even sub $1000 laptop when on sale. Over the past year, I have used the HP Omen along with my video editor and have seen it hold up well under regular use and continue to perform very well while video editing, and producing KZbin thumbnails in apps such as Photoshop and Affinity Photo.

[@3rdman99]

I don't get why every KZbin laptop reviewer gets obsessed about how wobbly the screen is (or not). (Not just this guy.) Who cares? Why are you snapping and flicking around the screen? Do you have ADD and can't help fidgeting with the screen or something? You just open your laptop lid, let it sit there, and use it. Even if your typing is somehow violent, it won't make the screen wobble. THAT'S IT. There, no more wobbling. Was that so hard? It just makes me question the rest of the review, if that's what you need to focus on at first, that's all.

[@N3mdraz]

It matters if you travel daily. Because you have to open and close the lid. It's concern of damaging the screen bezel when opening/ closing it often.

[@randombubby1]

This review was excellent! I'm currently using this laptop (11th gen with the 3070, if that matters), and this video sums it up. Is it the best-performing gaming laptop on the market? No. But it performs just a bit worse for hundreds of dollars less. Is it the most aesthetically pleasing with the highest build quality? No. But again, it is a solid build with a much cheaper price tag. It all comes down to how much you want to spend on a laptop and how long you reasonably think you will be using it. If you're rich, have a large budget, or need your laptop to last an insanely long time, don't buy this model; pay the extra cost and get higher quality. But for the rest of us, this laptop is incredibly cost-efficient and powerful. If anyone's interested in some perspective on the performance of this laptop, it runs about as well as a regular desktop 2080. My highest 3dMark Time Spy score was 10800, which, from my experience at least, means it can run any game I've tried at 1440p ultra settings. This laptop is a beast for what it costs.

[@MHHQ]

Hi BEN, love the content but there are a few things you should know about the HP OMEN, I have the OMEN 16.1 with an I7 11800h and rtx3060 with the 1440p display, the screen wobble is still there but the rest is way better and not at all the same as yours, the colour accuracy is perfect, think its 98% dci-p3, I do have advanced optimus, so I can switch between the iGPU and DGPU, my battery lasts on average around 6-7 hours working. I suggest specifically stating what model you have with the specs at the start of the review so people know the discussion points are specifically for the model you have and not the whole range, or after making each point, state that they can get the better option if they go for the other models.

[@xstonedsnailxbox]

I have the same model but I cant switch between gpus and I only get 3hs max only difference is I have the 17.3 inch version. You are entirely right about stating models omen covers a few years and makes of models, which can get confusing.

[@jukseri9770]

I had a Omen 16 with a RTX 4070 and Intel-13700HX (2023) version and the laptop went blackscreen and keyboard unresponsive after 6 months. Allegedly there is a design flaw in the motherboard, which exposes a capacitor and another part to overheat and short out after 5-10 months. Fortunately I still had warranty time so was able to swap to a different laptop.

[@clackety_]

I got the omen 16, with the 11th gen i7 and 3060, and i love it a ton, got it pretty cheap used at around 900 dollars, and honestly don’t regret it, since the guy who had it before me took excellent care of it and barely really used it. It’s sorta heavy, but after a while i got accustomed to it’s weight since i changed from a 13’ dell laptop that was so bad that it struggled to even open Minecraft, and was mostly reserved for school work. It’s now the most powerful machine i own, over my 1660 in my pc, and i’m thinking of using it instead of my pc, until i can get a 3080 or a 3070ti and a fresh new pc build. Honestly i love design of it, and it makes me happy every-time i open it, the speakers are great, gaming is smooth, and the display is sharp.

@Vanquish the graphics on the laptop are amazing, everything looks great and all the games i’ve played are insanely smooth, though i did turn down the settings for gaming performance reasons (no because the laptop couldn’t handle it.) I believe you could record high quality videos on this, it can handle editing and a bunch of stuff i’ve put it through, but I haven’t done streaming and recording on it yet since it’s in my dorm room. In addition you have to have it plugged in because that’s just how gaming laptops works, performance is best when it’s plugged in.

Pretty sure you can force iGPU in the bios. Also with mine, I repasted the GPU and CPU on my 11900 and 3070 and the thermals were much better. I chose this laptop because it had 130w 3070, and was on sale for 1300 from 1800. It’s one of the best gaming laptops I’ve used.

realmente recomiendo esta laptop, tengo en mis manos en este momento una hp omen 17 con i7 11800h y rtx 3070, tuve una lenovo legion 5 pro 16 con amd 5800h y una rtx 3070 y la legion iba demasiado caliente, muy caliente, decidi regresa a esta omen, realmente para tareas pesadas no se siente pesada. Lo que si me da un poco de pesar es la pantalla, la legion es un poco superior, la omen tiene una QHD con 165hz con 300 nits, pero la legion tenia una pantalla QHD 165hz con 500 nits. Pero no pude soportar el calor que hace la legion. La hp cumple muy bien, tiene una apariencia seria y sobria, se puede usar en una oficina, se siente muy bien construida, el teclado es firme, no entiendo porque esta laptop no destaca sobre las demás. Si vas a comprar esta laptop, hazlo sin duda alguna.

justo estoy pensando en adquirir la Omen. Qué tal la batería? le puedes ampliar la ram? cómo es tu uso con ella y cómo la sientes?

I bought the HP Omen 17 ck000 this past Black Friday, didn't get it till January. After 3 days it broke, and spent these past 6 months waiting for it to get fixed after several delays, then for a replacement, and now currently awaiting my refund after several more delays for the replacement. Great laptop I bet, but after this nightmare I'm not dealing with HP again...

@@haroonasif5465 So it seems. Best Buy replaced the battery, mono, and trackpad. I haven't used the 280W charging brick it came with since. I use a 90w HP one now but I can't charge it while using it with only 90w. I can't seem to find the 280W one for sale in the U.S. And, it's like $200 from foreign sellers.

I know i sound silly but it will of GREAT HELP if someone answers my question. So which laptop should i buy between the Apple macbook air M1 vs Hp omen 5800h rtx 3060 or a similar Rtx 3050 laptop (since gaming laptops are very expensive in my country). (Mba m1 costs 1100usd while the hp omen 5800h rtx 3060 costs around 1300 usd.) I will get only an rtx 3050 for 1100 bucks in my country) I am a fresher University student who doesn't require gaming But light photoshop, video editing and basic college work. Please please please help as i am in a great dilemma bw gaming laptop and mba m1 Does the dedicated gpu matters too much? But i will lose the portability and battery life of the mba Please help

[@minseokwon6484]

If you can, check what people use most, both professors and students. I mean macbook air or any window laptop with i7 will be enough for school stuff, you will not even going to need dedicated graphic card. But there will be a lot of annoying things if you are not use to mac or window, so chose carefully between OS. In my case because of many bugs and computability issue with my tablet driver, I can’t use mac. And in case of video editing if you can or really think you will use final cut pro buy a macbook, however if you like using premier pro or davinci resolve just get a window laptop with 3060 or higher graphic card. It will be so painful to use non-apple program in apple’s silicon chip.

[@pradyutfogla4624]

@@minseokwon6484 thanks for thr reply. But however, a gaming laptop rarely provides with 2 hr of battery life after a year. Moreover, windows laptops are just useless bricks while unplugged for heavy tasks. The portability of the mba is exceptional. But as you said with the software issues. Ive heard a lot of concerns regarding it Can you please elaborate on problems with mac os

[@Dahrenhorst]

​@@pradyutfogla4624 Apple OS and Windows are two completely different systems. If you don't know either yet, try to find someone where you can play around with the computer a bit to find out what suits you better. If you don't have any experience with computers yet - or only very little - I believe that Apple is easier to learn and use, plus you get a lot of production software included in the OS, which you may have to buy separately for a Windows machine. Windows is generally more customizable, offers a broader selection on both hardware and software, and is mostly significantly cheaper than Apple. I started working with computers on Apple gear in the late 80s, but switched to Windows in the late 90s, mostly because most of my clients and colleagues worked with Windows as well. Today I stay away from Apple because of its policies of denying right of repair and its tendencies to control the computers they sold and what software is used on them. Having said this, an Apple M1 laptop is much more powerful than a Windows RTX 3050 laptop, and it is much more portable than an Omen by far. Nevertheless, if everyone besides you uses Windows software on their computers, collaboration might be very difficult and in some instances even impossible, when you are the only one with an Apple and all the others use different software than you can use.

[@pradyutfogla4624]

@@Dahrenhorst thanks for the reply. It covers most of my concerns. I am thinking of going for the apple mba because of its portability. Comparability wont be an issue as most of the students already use the mba air for their work. I was more concerned about the hardware aspects but the mba is better value for money along with great portability. Again, thank you for the reply.

[@Dahrenhorst]

I'm in the process of replacing my 2018 Omen 15 right now and read a lot of articles and watched a lot videos. In its price range, the only real competitor to a 2021 or 2022 Omen seems to be the Legion 5, and especially the Asus TUF is in nearly all rankings I've seen very much at the bottom, while the Omen and the Legion are ranked quite far at the top of the lists. There are (partly much) better Gaming Laptops than the Omen (or the Legion 5), but they also do cost much more. Generally, I think for the performance a 3070 GPU compared to a 3060 is more important (approx. 25% better) than a 6800 CPU compared to a 5800 CPU (approx. 5% improvement).

Does it have an indent reaction when you tap the bottom of it? It's standard for the Omen. Do you experience random jittery issues with the touch pad? Another issue that affects all their Omen laptops.

[@nathanfife2890]

It's hotter with the Ryzen but uses less power? That actually makes no sense.

[@N3mdraz]

In 2020 intel chip ran hotter than ryzen because the cores got smaller but were closer to eachother. So it created more heat at a single point instead of diffuse heat on a wider area (easier to cool) Maybe intel made a wider area than ryzen now for the chips. (I'm only guessing, but it's an explanation of why there can be heat difference)
