For the longest time, I have looked at gaming laptops as non-traditional notebooks aimed at a niche set of users. But during Covid-19, the gaming laptop market has emerged as a promising category with many brands launching gaming notebooks at different price points so as to appeal to a wider user base. HP’s latest Omen 16 falls in the same bracket and comes with a Ryzen 7 5800H processor, an Nvidia RTX 3050 Ti graphics chip, 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage at a price tag of Rs 109,999. But does the AMD version of the Omen 16 impress with a set of specs under the hood? Here is my review of the HP Omen 16.

HP Omen 16 price starts at Rs 1,09,999 and this is not an easy price bracket, especially from a gaming laptop perspective. Every other brand has something in this price range and the competition is a little too fierce. HP Omen 16 isn’t shy of offering top-notch performance along with solid build quality and weirdly (in a good way) good keyboard which is both spacious and responsive. Apart from that it also has a good display. But, HP has cut some corners here with the trackpad, which is perhaps the only gripe we have about this laptop and can be easily fixed by some future driver update. So, whether you should go ahead and buy it or look for some alternatives? There’s no doubt this price range is full of alternatives. But if you are after something that offers good performance, battery life and solid build quality then HP Omen 16 should be in your top three list.

This range for display formats was and is a rarity. It is larger than the general standard of 15 inches, but not yet in the range of large workstations. One usually has higher screen resolutions available, but portability suffers from that.

70%: 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.
