HP’s Omen 15 gaming laptop is a great option for gamers as it has a robust cooling system, long battery paired with great hardware. HP did delay the launch of this laptop in India; however, it made it silently available on their site and Amazon off late.
In terms of design and build, HP has made almost no changes compared to the last-gen; however, it upgraded the display to QHD one with a 165 Hz refresh rate. Also, last time, HP limited the GPU to an RTX 2060; however, this time, you have an RTX 3070 option as well.
HP made the Omen 15 from scratch for AMD’s Ryzen 4000 series processors and made it one of the best thermal efficient gaming laptops last year. So, essentially this year, HP doesn’t need to do much as both the socket and TDP remains the same for these AMD Ryzen 5000 series mobile processors.
The flagship variant here sports an 8-core AMD Ryzen™ 7 5800H with up to 4.4 GHz max boost clock, paired with 16 GB DDR4-3200 MHz RAM and 1 TB PCIe® NVMe™ TLC M.2 SSD. On the graphics front, you have the NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 3070 with 8 GB GDDR6 dedicated VRAM.
For display, as told, the new Omen 15 sports a 15.6-inch QHD (2560 x 1440) IPS display with a 165 Hz refresh rate and 3 ms response time. The display remains micro-edge and has an anti-glare screen with peak brightness up to 300 nits and covering 100% of the DCI-P3 colour gamut.
You have a full-size, 4-zone RGB backlit keyboard and 26-Key Rollover Anti-Ghosting Key technology, while for connectivity, you have both Intel Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5 support. The HP Omen 15 will sport a 70.9 Wh Li-ion polymer battery, which can last up to 7 hours and 30 minutes.
You have dual speakers tuned by Bang & Olufsen for audio, and you have an HP Wide Vision 720p HD camera with integrated dual array digital microphones.
Coming to ports, you have 1 SuperSpeed USB Type-C port (DisplayPort™ 1.4, HP Sleep and Charge); 1 SuperSpeed USB Type-A (HP Sleep and Charge); 2 SuperSpeed USB Type-A; 1 Mini DisplayPort™; 1 HDMI 2.1; 1 RJ-45; 1 AC smart pin and 1 headphone/microphone combo.
Overall, the new HP Omen 15 gaming laptop is a good option for gamers who want a good gaming performance with long battery life and no compromise on the display and thermals of the laptop. The variant with RTX 3070 has been priced at ₹165,990, and the one with RTX 3060 is available for ₹129,990.
