NOTE:
After 2 years of use it still runs pretty well however you REALLY need to have books to prop up the laptop for cooling circulation. It can easily overheat so get some books or a cooling pad to maximise performance 2 years later.
im planning to buy this laptop thanks for the heads up man
I've upgraded mine with 64gb RAM and an NVME and I find the battery is being drained because the 200w adapter can't keep up with the power draw. Trying to find a solution, but I can only play 5 hours straight before having to stop and wait for the battery to recharge.
How much temperature you get in demanding games.?
ive just noticed this, its not over heated but it does get hot and the fans keep kicking in?! im confused because my laptop is supposed to be SSD... do they still have fans??
Mine's almost 5yo in a few months. Still takes a pounding in gaming 😂
I’d disagree with gaming not needing 16GBs of Ram nowadays, 8 is a minimum but 16GB is pretty safe for gaming nowadays too. Playing Forza Horizon 4 or FF XV can easily get more than 11GBs of ram usage nowadays even when I have nothing else running in the background.
i totally agree, i had only 8 GB and it was pain in the ass when i use a second monitor where i open some chrome tabs and open a main program in my main monitor, it just keeps freezing. after i got an extra 8 GB it just became so smoooth
16gbs of RAM is the sweet spot for legit anything, especially intense things. 64 RAM is absolute overkill
So this laptop will thrive with 64GB of RAM, like deadass run everything but I think I'm understanding why these things were under-powered from the factory. Toss in an actually fast NVME and enough RAM to keep the system from bottlenecking, then you'll find the battery dies when plugged in faster than most laptops do unplugged. Granted I run StarCitizen at highest settings and record it, I think they just can't get enough power to the boards without, idk, legit a second charging circuit?
@@Dolvondo Also imo 16 is a bottle neck. The most RAM intense game I have, Star Citizen, would crash constantly before I upgraded. After the bump to 64, that game will regularly use 20+GB of RAM and that doesn't start counting in other things the computer might be doing. Even Modern Warfare can grab 12GB for itself these days.
Don't forget that gaming laptops like this will perform at 40-50 fps most of the time if you're gaming unplugged. Sometimes the fps can be below 30, so if ur gaming unplugged change the nvidia setting in the control panel to prefer max performance and turn off battery boost + go into windows power settings and change ur power plan, and make one with high performance regardless of battery life. This won't greatly decrease battery life but it is still worth doing if you get this laptop. I learned this the hard way lol. After doing this, its been a blast gaming on this rig.

A HDD is very big (3‘5 inch) mostly
Literally was about to buy one, but in the UK you can get a 1050ti with the same specs just for a little less. I will not be getting the 1060 as I only do light gaming. This video overall helped a lot. 👍🏻

There is a BIOS update for HP OMEN temperature issue which lowers the temperature. After the update highest temps it will go be like 85 celsius.
Really? And was the omen 2018 that loud idle?
Found this laptop on Facebook marketplace for $150. Greatest find and purchase of my life. The girl who sold it to me bought it for her boyfriend but they broke up and she needed the money. I love this laptop, I’ve download a PS3, PS2, Nintendo64, and GameCube emulator and all games run smooth with no lag at all.
Tired of red and black combinations on gaming products.
Everyone does
the 2015 model of this looked the best in my opinion
Anyone think about combination black & light yellow? 😁
If u guys want a laptop with minimalistic look and the best specs.... Check ou lenovo Y7000 at costco

Finally a bit of advice. Do NOT use it with the headset in a doctor’s office, if you’re there by yourself. You won’t hear them when they call you back to one of the rooms.
OK, the laptop is great, but why is Goku on the floor?
I was so distracted by the UI Goku that I barely looked at the laptop

Can anyone tell me if this laptop is preferred over the acer predator helios 300? Im getting a new computer soon specifically for gaming and both are in my price range, but I don't know which one is better.
Take the omen
I really enjoy watching your reviews Ed... they´re well done and have all the information i need about the product
Ed you should check out the Eluktronics Gaming Laptop that has i7 8700k a full Desktop CPU in it....... Its only $1000 and Im thinking about getting one this black friday for a sale. But it would be awesome to see a review from you since I know you are always honest
SuperDan YES
Was looking for a good productivity laptop and when I saw your video popping up in my notifications, I knew im gonna buy this one. With your amazon link obviously :)
My hp omen is very quiet actually and the cpu stays under 70c while gaming
I got the 17" with gtx1070... Burned after 23 months, was never over 70c...

Got this one with 1060 and 144hz monitor for around 1100€ beast of a laptop!
Hey Ed I am looking for a pc on Black Friday and cyber Monday can you make a video for deals on these days. It might help others as well. I am enjoying your content and awesome review.
I have this laptop for University, its a great laptop, great productivity and gaming. The fans are not loud at all.
6 core is the future for gaming. Buy a good laptop now and hodl it for 5+ years. A few more extra $/€ buys you time to upgrade, no need for running after every 5-10fps.
I bought a 8700k OC'd with a 1070, put some nvme and a ssd in it, 16gb ram. DONE. Enough space to upgrade for a 2. GPU and mir Storage.
Cost: 1500€ but I gonna keep it for around 8-10 years. Don't buy for 2 years. You gonna be constant broke.
Same with my PC:
Gtx 560
Gtx 580
Gtx 780
Gtx 1080ti now till 2022 or longer.
BUY BIG BUY ON SALE HOLD LONG SAVE MONEY
wafemaster 1500? you are not talking about a laptop right?
NL Luke sure
If you're looking for a decent gaming PC, this one is not bad. i bought it last september and im satisfied with it. I could play rise of tomb rider and far cry 5 on ultra, and odyssey i had to make few modifications (a mix between medium, high and ultra). For me it's one of the best options when you look for the cost/benefit balance

@@billylevin Yes. But compared to most other laptops we're getting a 7200rpm Drive which is good for launching programs. Other mostly have 5400rpm.

1:33 is it harmful for monitor or screen view?
Really nice review but I think I think it's kind of "misleading" to imply that having a 6 core CPU isn't gonna have any impact on gaming. Also buying a new gaming system in 2018 with anything less than 16GB or RAM would be a terrible choice in my opinion, especially for future proofing. Unless you're on a very tight budget, in which case you can always add more memory later.
Meh 8GB Ram can run literally any game and the only game I've seen that has had problems with a 4 core cpu is Black Ops 4 but that's due to the optimization being poor. He is right but obviously yes in the long run it will make a difference but for now you're perfectly fine. A dual core with hyper threading and 4GB Ram too can run most games as well
@@VoltSnake Sure but nobody would sell a computer with 2 cores and 4 gigs of RAM and call it a gaming pc, that'd be a super budget one. We're talking about £800-1000 systems here and at that price range 16GB of RAM should be the norm IMO.
@@Totano84 ohhhh my bad I didn't realize you said gaming system. Yeah at that price point 16GB should be standard, but with my point i was saying that if you had that system and wanted to play games you should be somewhat fine
@@VoltSnake Sure, as long as you're willing to compromise on visual quality and framerate you can go really low end ;-)
Did the headset and mouse come with the laptop or do you have to buy them separate?
So I just bought The HP omen 15.6!! 😍😍🔥
gin westler ayeee can you tell me how you feel about it , and congratulations on buying it :))
Yeah how do you like it
My product name is OMEN by HP-15-dc0050ur. Monitor flexibility. I flexed my monitor a little and some fields of screen changed their colour to white. Is it normal process?
This is a great gaming LT computer, however it has a static electricity issue... it will turn off if you zap it without grounding yourself first.
i have the Omen i love it. i Bought mine for 1700 euro's. but i think mine is other mine is gtx 1080 and 144hz and it has more than 80 fps on pubg and that is impresive.

watching this with the gtx 1060 model of hp omen 15, it's amazing, nice review too!
2 million let's make it!
upgraded from an old acer with a 760gtx to an omen 17 with a 1070gtx, maan my world changed completely, the hinges make a crack-ish sound when closing it without applying pressure across the whole backside of the screenlid, but it seems it's not getting damaged or anything, it can run hot but since I'm a laptop gamer for the last 10 years, I have good cooling pads to use with it while gaming, definitely a fan of the HP omen series!
my omen is a tad more powerful as yours though, the 1070gtx 8gb runs everything on ultra at 75fps
I wish and pray for a good laptop i been suffering with a HP Ebook for animation given from my career that cost me 3k from my student loan :( i wish i had good fast laptop there soooo expensive sigh....
Cynamatic Tv hey, if you are still looking at this laptop...

It’s discounted in a few stores today.
Bro ur the only one so far with an FPS counter average this is why ur the best
*mister Stark, i dont feel so good...*
Kid, ion give 2 shits
I have the last year model. Monitor went out within a few month of using it. Screen kept flickering and stayed dark while doing it. Updated all drivers and no fix, but turning down the brightness all the way then back up helped. Hopefully doesn't happen with this new one
I have that as my pc for my asus rog pg swift monitor, but mine is 120hz
I feel like it should be mentioned that there are multiple models with two different chassis models with the same specs--there's the old and new design. The ones that are found at Walmart and stuff (ce series) has side io and larger screen bezels, but is built like a tank and have better cooling, while the one shown in this video is a d model, and is sold mostly online only.
I was considering to buy the 2018 Omen 17t with the 1070. It also comes with 32GB of ram, 144hz panel, and a 512 SSD/1TB HDD. Thoughts on these specs? Or would you recommend another laptop within the $2K-$2.5K price point?
I'd recommend the Asus Zephyrus M. You will get a lot better thermals and a better screen. It has a lot of the same specs but it comes with 16gb of ram so you will have to upgrade to 32gb yourself.
i dunno cuz with that price u can buy a really good pc. but if u really want to have a laptop that omen is a monster !
@SMORS, I'm checking it out at the moment and I believe they're both G-SYNC at 144HZ. Also the Windows 10 Pro option makes it more expensive than the Omen
@Shiki, I'd prefer a PC but the issue is space, I currently share a room and have little space as is :(
make a pc if you can or go for asus zephyrus
GTAV is notorious for high rise temps I have this laptop even with a cooling pad it gets well over 150°F ++ && runs arma 3 like a dream on low settings every other game I've played runs just fine
that's not a 1 TB SSD in this vid. That's a normal 1 TB HDD
Oh yes tech source thanks for being a reliable source I can watch this review on.
hi mannnnn.... ur really good about revieww
I'm pretty sick of red and black, but with this laptop, they did it right. It actually looks nice and slick. Other gaming laptops can quite literally look like toys.
Hey tech source do you think you could get me a setup it would make my whole life I love what you do you make so many people happy I wish I could be one of those people.

i got a problem with fans noise .When i pugged the charger in ,my fans begins to be very loud and very annoying sound but without the charger plugged in ,there is no noise and the fans working normal .What is the solution ?
Definitely gonna bring my laptop to Church on Sunday to play some DOOM, kidding!!!
P.S. I don't go to church and this was just a joke so please don't take offence.
That would be funny looking over the seats seeing a kid playing Doom in a church
I got the omen desktop last year at bestbuy for $600 with a gtx1060 i5. Not bad because it is my first gaming pc. Also got the omen 24.5in monitor for $200. Loving them together never had any problems. I do wanna upgrade tho but I'm scared gonna mess up if I do it myself haha
I’ll stick with my predator Helios 300 with a 144hz display 😅
how is the temp during summer?
Not bad at all most is 68 celcius
How much did it cost in total
The 144HZ predator Helios has the same specs but the difference is that it of course has the bigger refresh rate and that it brings a 256 SSD but it also has an extra slot for another Hard Drive. This laptop will be 999.99 on Amazon only starting on Thanksgiving
@KishkaGaming nah i just undervolted mine and even on high graphic games it stays around the high 60's sometimes low 70's
I bought this thing earlier this year. The battery lasted about 3 or 4 months before it broke. Brought it back, waited for weeks and eventually got all my money back. I bought an MSI instead.
1k laptop with a 60hz

Michael Garcia one hundred percent. I use this for school work and gaming. I play VR and do all my homework and projects on it.
This Berd Needz 1,000 subs Okay thank you I’m for sure getting this now I appreciate it !!
I have the 17t, its heavenly and extremely awesome, ive never loved gaming as much as i do now
Bought one the other week with 144hz display, really pleased so far.
can u tell me about the heat???im going for a 2060 rtx version but i need to know if it can maintain low cpu temps because my country is hot mostly.
YES a video on this laptop THANK YOU ED
It seems Walmart is trying to throw all of these out before Black Friday this year. The top model (the one with the gtx1060) is selling at a few stores for $400
This cool by the bottom on or the back? Need to buy those cooling pad but only worth if air flow from the bottom
I'm very interested in the headset - I'm shopping around to see which one to get. Thanks for the link. I will definitely check it out!

Ok. Got my omen laptop a few weeks ago and was wondering if I can use an Xbox game controller to play games on it?
Yes you can but it depends on which game the can support it.
Me with my always burning, LOUD LOUD FAN, and 520 graphics card. This is amazing.
I have a very old gaming pc that I bought used for 200$ and I tried changing the case but I now my pc doesn't work and when I put it back in the old case and it doesn't work either do you know why that might be?
I just bought HP Omen 15 with GTX 1650 4 GB, Processor i7 9750H and 512 SSD. I played last night PUBG and APEX on max settings you can play and the temps are pretty solid GPU 60 maximum 65 Celcius and CPU around 70-75 very rarely 80, but in command center if i click on performance and set it to comfort where it says to cool CPU and GPU it lowers the temps to GPU 50-55 and CPU to 60-65, while my room temp is 27 Celcius.
Is the laptop good? I'm thinking about buying how is your long-term use with it?😊
i am running the 2017 model of the omen. a defenate buy and looks very similar to the one on the video just the air vents look like they came off a lambogini and the connections are on the sides. you cannot go wrong with the omen.
I know this video is from 2018, BUT I got my omen 15 laptop in 2018 and it is TERRIBLE!! temps over 95 average and so much throttling! how can I fix this
my hp omen is 8gb ram, 512gb ssd, 1tb hdd, 1650 gtx nvidia, i5 9 gen. Can i play apex legends and stream it in these specs ?
Headphones and mouse come in da box?
I have OMEN I7, 16GB, 256 GB SSD and 1050 Ti! Beautiful and powerfull laptop!
Hi! Do you know if is it possible to turn off the colored lights under the keyboard? Thanks so much!!! :-)
I've seen lots of reviews on this laptop but for some reason yours is the most honest and correct of them all .

Was shocked when I saw the price cut
Hi, I am unable to change my Omen 15-dc1xxx keypad light color. Can you pls help me on this.
I have one of these, but it cost $1800 or $2000. It's impressive how amazing it is
Have this laptop but the 144hz screen variant with the 1060. Laptop is really well built and is decent for the money. My biggest complaints would be 1. Its battery life is pretty poor. 2. Its runs hotter than hell. 3. The internal speakers are probably the quietest ive ever had in a laptop.
I have an omen. I get a black screen with "boot device not found" "hard disk- 3F0. Does anyone no how to fix that? I tried system recovery, usb sparekey, resetting BIOS and it's not working. Message me if you know how to fix it. Please and thank you.
People have told me that I basically need to buy the 16 gb of ram instead of the 8 for gaming. The 8 is a lot cheaper and all I want this laptop for is gaming and I don’t care that much if it’s not too settings I just want the games to run smooth. I was also told that the laptop would need to be replaced in like 2 years. I can’t imagine that it will. Please help me out guys.
60 hz and I told myself that's a no go real quick...
I’m so glad I got this last year 🤤

Hey man, I don't know if you would fly to Australia or even consider what I'm saying, but if there was a way to get one of the setups from setup makeover that would be really cool. Do I submit a video? or is there currently no giveaways on right now?
ed!! you'll be hitting 2m soon! congrats!
I got one in July but it last only 3 months because the GPU died, someone from support tried to fix it remotely but now I even cant use turn it on.
Compare these - Lenovo legion y530 or this. Basicaly the same but I want to decide finaly.
You can lower the temps by turning off turbo boost and it will not go higher than 82c. At least from my experience.
I'm thinking of getting this laptop for software engineering (and gaming ofc lol) buuuuuttt I'm a bit worried about the sound of the fan... Does it get loud only when gaming? Don't really want the fan to be loud asf in class... Also is it heavy? When I saw it in stores it looked ok but I didn't get to hold it to see for myself :/
I literally bought it today and got to hold it in store. Tomorrow I will get it home and I will talk about fan noise. Its really light. (for me) I will compare it to a mac book pro, with a lil bit more weight. (as I said, its my opinion on about its weight)
Ok so the fan noise is changeable. You can put the fans to custom mode and they will be extremely loud but perfect at gaming, or default and they will be noticeable but not so much. Its like kinda loud but its possible to ignore. The laptop become hot quickly, thats why.
That's actually a really cool gaming laptop, Nice review Ed 👌
What bitrate is your 4k video recorded at. 50mbs or 100mbs. Thanks
I have one with 144hz screen and 1060. Only negatives is get kinda loud and hot underload.
i have to same one but with a single hinge in the middle, same specs. I do not get much fan noise in mine. i do like the look of that mouse but i have to say i love my trackball more, nothing worse than dragging a mouse across worktops. nice review thanks.
