HP Omen 15 review

The HP Omen 15 squeezes a powerful GPU into a slim hot rod, and you can still pop the hood.

Solid build quality ; Attractive design that avoids being garish ; Competitive gaming performance ; Quality 4K UHD display

Fans get very loud ; Optional 4K panel can overwhelm GPU in games

The HP Omen 15 marks a serious return to the gaming notebook market. While its use of an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 with Max Q means gaming performance will be limited next to the most expensive laptops, it’s perfectly capable in most games. The Omen 15...

HP Omen 15 review (2017): A gaming laptop for everyone

The HP Omen 15 is everything we wanted from the company's gaming line. It looks great, is fast enough to handle most games in 1080p, and it can finally support VR (with a graphics upgrade). While we would have liked to see a bit more graphical oomph to...

Perfect for 1080p gaming ; Great keyboard and mouse ; Gorgeous display ; Attractive design (for gamers) ; VR ready (with the GTX 1060 model)

Terrible battery life ; Not powerful enough to actually play games in 4K

The best thing about the Omen 15? It's clear that HP learned from its mistakes. This year's model looks great, offers more power and actually has a good keyboard and trackpad. While hard-core gamers might want to hold out for the even more powerful...

HP Omen 15 (2020) Review

Powerful eight-core AMD processor ; Well-built ; Runs cool while gaming ; Productive keyboard ; Long battery life ; Pleasant speakers

Pricey for a GeForce GTX 1660 Ti ; White-only keyboard backlighting ; Supports just one storage drive

Premium quality, long battery life, and an expert pairing of AMD and Nvidia components make HP's Omen 15 a formidable 1080p gaming machine with lots of CPU grunt.

HP Omen 15 for 2018 is a smaller, snazzier mainstream gaming laptop

The laptop gets thinner side bezels and upgraded options, as well as accessories like a self-cooling headset.

HP Omen 15 (2017) review: A good laptop that made some bad decisions

The 2017 HP Omen 15 is a strong all-around gaming laptop option, but choose your configuration carefully.

Great 1080p gaming ; Comfortable keyboard and touchpad ; Relatively light for a gaming laptop ; Bright, vibrant G-Sync display

Worst battery life we've ever seen ; 4K display is useless, detracts from user experience ; Slow 5,400RPM hard drive ; Bloatware galore

The Omen 15t gaming UHD (as this specific variant is formally known) is available with several customization options on . The base configuration includes an Intel Core i7-7700HQ, a GeForce GTX 1050, 16GB of RAM, a 120Hz 1080p IPS display, and a 1TB...

Review: HP Omen 15 (2017)

The HP Omen 2015 has some beastly looks, but it performs well enough for serious gaming.

Very good performance. Boots up quickly. Single-access panel allows for easy-ish upgrades. Quiet under load.

Terrible battery life. Dim screen. Limited key travel, with difficult visibility if backlighting is off. You really must learn to love the color red.

HP Omen (15-inch, 2017) review: HP's Omen is a devil of a deal if you’re looking for 4K gaming

Powered by a Nvidia GeForce 1060, the 15.6-inch HP Omen is one of the only 4K gaming laptops you'll find south of $2,000.

The VR-ready HP Omen is one of the cheaper laptops packing a Nvidia GeForce 1060 GPU, it's got a terrific display, a comfortable keyboard and a super-speedy Intel i7 processor. Plus, it's stylish for a gaming laptop.

Its 4K screen means woeful battery life, falls behind other 1060-equipped laptops on benchmark tests.

It's not as elegant as a Razer Blade or as powerful as an Alienware, but the 15-inch HP Omen is one of the better machines in its price range.

HP Omen 15

The HP Omen 15 is a surprisingly potent gaming machine with features you might not expect from a mainstream PC manufacturer including customizable backlighting and revved-up storage.

Intel Core i7-4710HQ CPU and Nvidia GeForce GTX 860M graphics. PCI-connected storage offers faster performance than SATA-based competition. Touch screen. Programmable macro buttons, extra-wide touchpad, and customizable keyboard backlighting.

Rear-mounted ports are inconvenient. Ethernet requires adapter dongle.

Conclusion With its midrange price, the HP Omen 15 pits itself against some potent competitors. While it easily outstrips the entry-level gaming rigs from other mainstream manufacturers, like Acer and Lenovo, this model is priced to compete with...

HP Omen 15-5010nr

The Omen arrives at the tail end of what might be the most exciting year in recent history for PC gaming, with a flood of new hardware and components offering great experiences for almost any budget, from the $550 Alienware Alpha to the $5,000 Origin...

The HP Omen has a bold design, plenty of user customization options, a great keyboard, and something often missing from gaming laptops, a touchscreen.

The screen resolution is capped at 1080p, while the competition goes up to 4K. Routing all the ports and heat vents to the rear won't appeal to everyone, and the only graphics card available is decidedly mid-tier.

HP shakes up the world of gaming laptops with unique-looking and highly portable Omen. It offers very capable performance in PC games, despite being stuck with a last-gen graphics card.
