Model: The HP Omen 15-dc0096nd is a high-performance gaming laptop. It is a mid-range price tag gaming laptop that cuts a little corner around the design of the laptop but still features a powerful processor. The Omen 15 case is made of plastic, unlike many other laptops which features aluminium or metal case. Fortunately, the plastic case feels sturdy with minimal flex. The case of the laptop is full black with faux carbon fiber. Opening the laptop, a user can see a layer of aluminium around keyboard and trackpad, giving it a more premium feel to the touch of hands. HP applied NVIDIA's Max-Q design philosophy, which results in the lightweight 2.58 kg (5.68 pounds) build. It is lighter than many other full-fledged gaming laptops in the same range. The Omen 15’s 15.6-inch IPS panel is stunning with wide viewing angles, vibrant colors, and a luminous 314 nits of brightness. The display also has a fast 120 Hz refresh rate, which is essential for gaming laptops. Besides that, the display also includes Nvidia’s G-Sync technology, which synchronizes the refresh rate of the GPU and panel to provide smooth gameplay free of tearing or stuttering. As for specifications, it has the combination of the fastest Intel i7 Hexa Core processor, the graphics card with 6 GB of VRAM, 16 GB of RAM, a Solid-State-Drive (SSD) of 256 GB and a 1 TB hard drive for storage purpose. It is a balanced laptop featuring a powerful processor as well as lots of memory and storage. Windows 10 Home is installed in the storage disk.

The keyboard and trackpad are draped with aluminium for a more premium touch, and it definitely delivers a solid experience as well. The keys on the keyboard are crisp and clicky to press on. HP claims it offers "26-key rollover anti-ghosting," which means it can accept that many key commands at once without mistaking any inputs. The red keyboard backlight is very useful in seeing the letters on the keyboard because it is difficult to see the letters in a slightly darker environment. As for input/output ports, the Omen 15 has full-size HDMI and mini DisplayPort connections for video output. Besides that, it also includes three USB 3.0 connections, a USB-C socket with optional Thunderbolt connectivity, an SD card reader and an Ethernet jack. Conclusively, the HP Omen 15 is a gaming laptop with great features. Besides the case material, the hardware of the laptop is great. It is certainly a laptop that can deliver performance while running programs and applications and handling the latest games. The Omen 15 might not be as glamorous as the ROGs and the Alienwares but it definitely does the job.

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