Yep I'm sold. This beast is getting ordered.

[@adithyaherath2000]

Actually I don't know much about gaming laptops, but I can see this little thing has great specs just looking at the performance between low and max performance. Good job mate✌️

[@0ino.kai0]

If you get this on sale it’s a massive steals the specs are phenomenal buying the parts separately for a PC is actually more expensive it’s insane how they’re selling this so cheap.

THis is very competitively priced, but I am shocked at how less old laptops are sold in exchange! Even with RTX 3060.

[@-shikajin-4078]

The thing with the 4060 in laptops is that it's not that different performance wise to a desktop's. That is why you'll see so many people buying it which in turn drives up the price.

[@ianmichael-1389]

Thank you for the review I've been waiting for it. Going to buy it soon.

[@Allentravelsnow]

make sure it has RGB light studio for your keyboard I found out when I took mine home I should have asked when I went to the store and bought it but I didn't invested enough time make sure he has all the features you like to ask questions at the store make sure you get every piece information ok

Does it have extra m.2 slot?

[@mikelreborn3254]

How many NVMe slots does an HP omen have? 2 slots A: there 2 slots. 1 of them is already populated the other one is empty. The Batter is unknown. A: This nvme ssd should work as long as it is not over 2T.

[@julianphilp]

Only 16gig ram should be 32gig at that price point

[@SoSlow252]

I have the Intel i7/4060 version of this laptop and it's decent. The Omen hub is a little slow and laggy, I upgraded the ram to 32gb with 5600mhz but there is no advance settings in the bios so you can't do anything. Plugged in the laptop runs great but when on battery life the lower wattage just ruins the gaming experience. Could barely play Helldivers 2 even on the lowest setting, I had to use the Nvidia GeForce panel to optimize the game and run it on the lowest setting but it still stuttered a little. I'm going to return it.

[@Arjun_Vasudevan]

Every single gaming laptop is slow on battery

[@achikaka5155]

i’d recommend hp omen 16, helios is loud and heavy and bad keyboard 512 GB, on the other side it’s light, quiet (decent) , 1 TB

[@Hieheieie]

I also have been confused but im choosing this one cux its better

[@z4520ft]

This is the best balance of both world, let me know if there's something else. It has the understated looks or rather matured looks that doesn't look out of place in professional environment. I have tuned the RGB to only highlight the 4th section which is the numpad (my variant comes with numpad). It doesn't sounds like rocket when on gaming. RTX 40 series with frame generation make it a serious contender to my Xbox series X. I understand that my Xbox can push 4k gaming but this laptop with Nvidia frame generation surpass it miles ahead in term of 1080p performance. The RAM and SSD is easy to upgrade. The lid can be opened with one finger. So overall, from personal experience I really recommend this laptop. It's 2024 already so prices are going down.

[@ninjafrozr8809]

Well said, i wish mine also had the numpad. But i gotta say the keyboard does look more premium without the numpad.

[@z4520ft]

​@@ninjafrozr8809 It's a boon and a curse. It's easier to hit numlock instead of backspace but when I need to do number entry especially with long digits, its very heplful to have. Definitely TKL layout is much suited for gaming laptop.
