Reviews for the HP Omen 15-5110nr

80% A Slim, Sophisticated Gaming Machine
Source: NDTV Gadgets Archive.org version
The HP Omen strives to be stylish and versatile, and while it does pull that off completely, it sometimes feels as though too much attention was paid to those aspects of design and not enough to core usability. We think the balance of gaming power and portability is just right - you can carry the Omen around and get all your day-to-day work done as well. It isn't the most comfortable laptop for that purpose, but it will make heads turn.

75% Mid-range gaming on a wonderfully designed expensive laptop

HP Omen is priced at Rs 1,59,990 and even by gaming laptop standards, the price is on the higher side. But then again, HP Omen does not look like any other gaming laptop. And this design will certainly command a premium pricing. A quick look online, will give you gaming laptops with a better graphics solution at a lesser price such as MSI GE62 or the Asus G751JL and so on. At the price of the HP Omen, you could even get a higher end laptop and a PlayStation 4. So the HP Omen is clearly targetted at a niche segment for whom along with performance, even the looks are important.

70% HP Omen 15-5110NR
Source: Comp Reviews Archive.org version
HP marks their entry back into the gaming laptop arena with the Omen 15 that offers a solid gaming performance in a relatively thin and light profile. It even packs in a touchscreen which many other gaming systems do not have. The system is marred by a number of design choices such as an unusual keyboard and trackpad layout that might require getting used to and ports that are out of the way that make them somewhat more difficult to use.

Model: The HP Omen 15-5110nr is HP's take on a light (2.1 kg) and thin (0.78 inch; 1.98 cm) gaming laptop. Other as most gaming notebook, it comes with touchscreen. The 15.6 inch can display with a resolution of up to 1920 x 1080 pixels. Graphics are driven by the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 920M with 2 GB of GDDR5 VRAM in order to support maximum graphics in most of current games.

Additionally, the Omen comes with an Intel Core i7 with integrated Intel HD Graphics and 8 GB DDR3L of RAM. It features a full-size island-style keyboard with red backlight to fit its black casing and a HP TrueVision FullHD webcam with digital microphones. The chassis of the laptop houses four USB 3.0 (with HP USB Boost) ports, a Mini DisplayPort, an HDMI port, and a standard 3.5 mm audio output jack. For connectivity it comes with a usual 11ac WiFi card with Bluetooth 4.0. The laptop is powered by a 4 cell lithium ion battery.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M: Upper mid-range graphics card of the GeForce GTX 900M series.

Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

Intel Core i7: The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.  

4720HQ: Haswell-based quad-core processor clocked at 2.6 GHz with Turbo Boost support up to 3.6 GHz. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 4600 GPU and a dual channel DDR3 memory controller.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.

15.60":

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.

HP: Founded in 1939, the US company is a major server and printer manufacturer and one of the leading IT companies in the world. Until 2015, the company was called Hewlett-Packard Company. After a split, the computer division was renamed HP Inc.

In 2023, HP had an approximate market share of 22% of global PC sales, making it number 2 after Lenovo.

75%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
