Pros and Cons

HP OMEN 15

Strengths

A really impressive laptop for the price
Good-looking laptop definitely designed for gamers
Eighth generation Intel Core i7 processor is a very good processor
16 gigs of ram, 256 SSD with a one terabyte hard drive
nvidia gtx 1060 graphics card allows for gaming at high settings
1080p IPS display looks really good even for just watching content
Banging olsen speakers are a very nice bonus

Weaknesses

Sharp edges take some getting used to handling
Trackpad is not clickable, you have to use the buttons or do a double tap
Backlit keyboard has colors that can't be individually changed
Laptop gets fingerprints easily and requires cleaning
Fans are massive and make a good bit of noise even when idle
Typing experience is fine but the trackpad could be improved
Price point of $1,099 plus tax might be a little high for some

HP OMEN 16

Strengths

I like the design, I think it looks really clean, it looks classy
The keyboard deck is very good looking, the keys felt great to use when gaming
You have a fairly good size touch pad at the bottom
Performance was fantastic with some of the best temps I've seen on a gaming laptop in the last few months
Battery life is really good, got really good battery life with this guy
The RGB lighting looks really cool and it's a great feature if that's your thing

Weaknesses

This display is absolutely horrible, they gotta stop sticking displays like this on laptops
Not the most premium feeling laptop on the market
Heat management is very interesting comparing it to other gaming laptops, CPU temps are always up at 88-89 degrees Celsius
You lose out in a little bit of performance when things get crazy on the omen 16 it just power throttles right away
Speakers nothing special, they're on the bottom of the laptop, they're a bit flat and there's no high end or mids are completely drowned out
Only one drive slot, usually with 16 inch notebooks especially gaming laptops you get at least two

HP OMEN 15

The HP Omen 15 is a gaming laptop that packs a punch with its impressive specs at an affordable price. Equipped with an eighth-generation Intel Core i7 processor, 16GB of RAM, and an NVIDIA GTX 1060 graphics card, this laptop delivers smooth performance for gamers. The 15-inch 1080p display boasts thin bezels, while the backlit RGB keyboard adds a touch of flair. But can it live up to its promise?

HP OMEN 16

The HP Omen 16 is a sleek and powerful gaming laptop that boasts a unique design aesthetic. Its matte-black chassis exudes a premium look, despite being made from plastic, giving it a clean and effective appearance. Weighing in at 5.2 pounds, this chunky laptop packs a punch with its impressive specs, including an i7-1362H CPU paired with an RTX 4060 GPU. However, its biggest letdown lies in the display - a disappointing 65% sRGB rating that fails to impress.
