HP Omen 15 Review: Best Gaming Laptop Refresh? (2020)
Ғылым және технология
I have been using the HP Omen 15 2020 gaming laptop for over a week and I wanted to share my Omen 15 review experience with you. The HP Omen 15 Ryzen and HP Omen 15 Intel versions for 2020 are a great step forward for the Omen brand with alot of positives in the refresh from last year. This could be one of the best gaming laptops of 2020 under 1500. So let me know what you think of my HP Omen 15 Unboxing and review and let me know which gaming laptop you want me to review next.

First impressions ...super clean
Laptop looks awesome!
just got mine today from best buy and it's freaking Awesome !!
One of the best laptops of 2020. Thermal and design upgrades are very good !!
Hey Danny, great review. What are your thoughts on this system in comparison to the Legion 5/7?
every laptop is almost good-great when it is at higher configuration, no doubt ur review is great but it would be awesome if you could review the base versions with not color accurate screens and with ryzen versions.

Best choice is reviewing the most worthed sku in the line, and for omen of course his choice is right. If you wanna have bad config, pick pavillion gaming instead
tip: don’t use the highest settings on all games, make the less important things lower and the more important ones higher
FINALLY A LINK THAT WORKS, THANK YOU!
Very nice review, you didn't cover heating but I know from other vids that it runs quite cool. I'm considering the OLED panel but maybe thats overkill... what are your thoughts on OLED for gaming?
Hi Danny. Good video. Can you confirm if the display is FreeSync compatible? Have you enabled/tested this out?
The question is this good for 3D animation and unreal engine.
Do you recommend this notebook more than an MSI GP65? I am undecided and im gonna buy one of them.
Hey Danny, was wondering what the specs for this model's GPU are? Is it the RTX 2060 80W or 115W version? I can't find this out anywhere.
Batteries suck nowadays...cant wait for graphene or solid state batteries to get decent up time. Nice video.
Sup Mister Winget and everyone awesome video

Great video! I ordered the 10300h/144hz variant and have some questions. 1) How are the temperatures on turbo? And how much the is the difference between balance-turbo? 2) Can we undervolt this or do we need it? Thanks in advance.

The pavilion one is still not available to buy (except in India, I think), so you gotta wait a little. The Omen Ryzen one is available in both hp US store and in best buy. Bestbuy has a nice discount rn, I can put the link if you want.

This would've been better if it was as unibody, metal body. It would also be cool if this had a physical cover on the webcam for privacy issues. It is nice that it has user upgradeable components. Shadow of the Tomb Raider is very buggy and not as smooth on the PS4. I wish thy did a better job with it, but I guess maybe they'll do a PS5 enhanced version of the Tomb Raider trilogy. I do agree the very clean, minimalist design is nice.

Yes intel goes up to 64gig. I believe the model comes with wifi6. But some have WiFi 5 I believe. One po my, others showed the WiFi card has one corner which is below one of the heatsinks. Go check some other videos which show better internal views
I really don't understand why they didn't move the display parts towards the back of the machine. Now display cables will cross your other device cables, makes it a bit more meaay
How are the fan noises. I will maybe use this laptop for school

JustinC thanks man I was wondering the same thing.
Interesting you mention the flex with the monitor, which I picked up on too so much so that I'm contemplating returning it. It screams cheap and cost cutting, though there may be design reasons behind it. Does anybody else feel this is a big HR Omen weak point that will prematurely wear out? Screens have traditionally been difficult/next to impossible to replace. Thankfully, I don't move my laptop all that often, so it's not as big a potential issue. However, I would definitely return it if I were always on the go with it. Thoughts on this?

It’s honestly not a big deal on everyday use. I just pointed it out because I have to as a reviewer. I have had zero issues with it in terms of integrity so you just have to make your choice up. Some of their other laptops are going this route as well.
Do you suggest it for graphics or using Unreal engine (develop gaming)?
@azeliaspank

Had it for a few months, it's really nice for gaming and from the performance with video editing, I'm pretty sure it'd run unreal engine pretty well
The hinge and display assembly looks weak. Do you think it might break down the road ?

Acer nitro 5 is an outdated laptop tbh. It doesnt compare to the HP OMEN 15. The acer nitro is a 600 dollar gaming laptop, they are going to cut corners when making a laptop that cheap, i wouldn't risk it especially considering the fact that the acer nitro 5 has been out for a while so it won't be as modern.
Msi Or Hp OMEN ?! if both have same specs ..

Really depends what your doing. People globalise productivity work. But working in text editor or word Vs working in premiere or after effects is a HUGE difference. It really depends on how demanding your application is and what your doing with it. Kinda hard to tell. Since most reviewers hardly cover this productivity work, you need to look for reviewers which do. That segment. Most of them have a viewpoint on laptops with gamers on their mind.
