70% HP Omen 17 gaming laptop review: HP’s ‘heavyweight’ in the gaming arena
Source: Gadgets Now Archive.org version
The HP Omen 17 may not be the most eye-grabbing gaming laptop in its price segment, but it makes up for that with its performance. Though gamers in India won't get 4K gaming experience, they'll enjoy better processing performance with seventh-gen Intel CPU. And the fact that Omen 17 is priced competitively for its specs, makes it a nice choice. Other options that you might consider for this price include the Asus ROG Strix GL553VD and MSI GS63VR Stealth Pro.

3.4 kg:

A laptop with this weight is comparatively heavy and less designed for mobility than for use at the desk. Therefore, the devices tend to shine less with battery life than with a large screen and higher performance.

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.
