Reviews for the HP Omen 16-xf0000ng

It is good to see HP back on track in the gaming laptop circuit with the Omen 16, especially after playing catch up in offering modern and up-to-date machines for the last few years. At RM8,999, though, it’s not the cheapest gaming laptop on the market but considering its competition and the prices they’re charging, and for an RTX 4070 no less, it’s far from unreasonable. At the end of the day, the Omen 16 is a serviceable laptop, sporting a decent and power-efficient Ryzen 7000 Series CPU, a moderately powerful NVIDIA GPU, a better-than-average QHD+ display with equally impressive refresh rate, and a large battery that contributes to its endurance. On top of that, it’s got a clean, no-nonsense chassis that still manages to look slick.

It’s hard to recommend the Omen 16, not because it’s bad, but just because it’s not particularly good. At its new premium price, the laptop is competing with machines from Alienware, Asus, Lenovo, and Razer, all without ditching some of the budget-focused ideas that persisted throughout previous versions. There are upsides here, particularly with the port selection and overall design. The performance isn’t bad either, though you can get better performance out of cheaper machines with similar components. Those upsides unfortunately aren’t enough to counteract the issues with the laptop, especially at its high list price. The Omen 16 could be a good buy if you find one on sale for a steep discount, however. If you manage to find the laptop around $1,400 for a similar configuration, it’s a great deal. At $1,850, it’s too expensive for what’s on offer.

The HP Omen 16 (AMD 2023) isn’t a champion, but more of an underdog that managed to scrape by in all of the categories it competed in. It doesn’t have a great keyboard, and it gets pretty warm in not so nice areas, but apart from that, the Omen 16 is solid all around and worth getting for its current price. However, if you want a gaming laptop that really excels, we recommend picking up the Razer Blade 14. It features a more vivid display, longer battery life, and a more premium chassis. Problem with that though is the extra $1K you’d have to put out. Overall, the HP Omen 16 is a solid pick, especially if you’re looking for a big display with decent battery life in a gaming laptop.

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.
