Verdict — Keeping It Cool
The HP Omen 17 is a solid midrange gaming machine with specifications just powerful enough to satisfy casual and occasional gamers. Its 2K 1440p 240 Hz display in particular is a highlight as it pairs well with the AMD Ryzen AI 7 CPU and GeForce RTX 5070 GPU for improved performance-per-watt over last year's Omen 17. The low core temperatures deserve praise as well as the processors barely crack the 70 C mark when gaming compared to 80 C or greater on thinner or lighter alternatives.
Overt drawbacks include the lack of per-key RGB lighting and G-Sync support, but such advanced features are unlikely to faze the target audience of budget gamers. Instead, potential buyers will want to be wary of the display hinges, flat processor performance, and a few potential software bugs related to graphics switching and wake-from-sleep. Visually, the system is largely the same as the 2024 model as its design is only one year old. The 16:9 17.3-inch form factor is aging nonetheless with major competitors like Razer or Asus focusing on 16:10 16-inch and 18-inch models.
Pros
Cons
Price and Availability
The Omen 17 is now shipping on Amazon starting at $1660 for our RTX 5070 configuration.
HP has refreshed its Omen 17 series this year with the new Omen 17z-db100. The 2025 model replaces the Zen 4 Ryzen 7 8845HS CPU and GeForce RTX 4070 Ada Lovelace GPU as found on the 2024 model with newer Zen 5 Ryzen AI and RTX Blackwell options, respectively. The chassis or skeleton is otherwise unchanged and so many of our existing comments on the 2024 model still apply for the 2025 version.
Our test unit is a higher-end configuration with the Ryzen AI 7 350 CPU, RTX 5070 GPU, and 16:9 2K 1440p IPS display for approximately $1300 to $1600. Lower-end SKUs ship with the Ryzen AI 5 340, RTX 5060, and 1080p display for while higher-end options ship with the Ryzen AI 9 365.
Alternatives to the Omen 17 include other budget to midrange 17-inch gaming laptops like the Lenovo LOQ 17, MSI Crosshair A17, or the Asus TUF Gaming A17 series.

Specifications
Case
Although the chassis is mostly plastic, HP hides this well with darkened matte surfaces and a rigid frame for relatively strong first impressions. Unfortunately, the system is still a huge fingerprint magnet and the lid tends to be teeter when adjusting angles due to the average hinges.
In terms of weight and size, the Omen 17 sits comfortably in between the smaller Asus TUF Gaming A17 and larger Acer Nitro 5 while being slightly thicker than the Lenovo LOQ 17.
Connectivity
Port options are decent with most of them along the rear much like on the aforementioned LOQ 17. In fact, the two models share almost the same ports with the Lenovo sporting one more USB-A port in total. Keep in mind that the sole USB-C port does not support Thunderbolt.

Webcam
A 2 MP webcam with both IR and physical shutter come standard.
Maintenance
The bottom panel is secured by 8 Phillips screws for easy servicing. Owners have direct access to two SODIMM slots and two PCIe4 x4 2280 NVMe SSD slots.
Sustainability
HP incorporates a percentage of ocean-bound plastics when manufacturing the model. The packaging is fully recyclable with minimal plastic wrapping around the AC adapter.
Accessories And Warranty
There are no extras in the retail box other than the AC adapter and paperwork. A standard one-year limited manufacturer warranty applies.
Input Devices
Keyboard
Key feedback is on the shallow side with very light feedback especially for a gaming laptop. Gamers who prefer firmer and "clickier" mechanical keyboards may find the keys on the Omen 17 to be too soft. For general typing and data input, however, the keyboard works well thanks to its integrated numpad.
Touchpad
The spacious clickpad (13.5 x 8.6 cm) is larger than the ones on the LOQ 17 or MSI Crosshair A17 (12 x 7.5 cm). Its gliding properties are excellent with just the right amount of stickiness at slower speeds for more accurate clicking and dragging. Travel when clicking is nevertheless very shallow and so it could have benefited from firmer feedback.
Display — Great Colors With A High Refresh Rate
Our 2025 Omen 17 utilizes the same BOE0B67 controller as found on the 2024 Omen 17 with overall similar attributes ranging from brightness levels to black-white response times. Consequently, display options remain identical between the two models for no major upgrades to the viewing experience. This isn't necessarily a bad thing for a mid-range gaming laptop as the 2K 1440p IPS display pairs very well with the mobile RTX 5070. We especially appreciate the >95 percent sRGB colors as opposed to the cheaper panels on the Asus TUF Gaming A17 or Acer Nitro 5 AN517 which have much narrower color spaces.
The main drawbacks to the display are its weak HDR support and lack of G-Sync. For the target audience of casual gamers, however, such features are arguably more of a luxury than a necessity. Windows variable refresh rate is still supported down to 48 Hz to save on battery power.

The display is decently calibrated out of the box against the sRGB standard albeit with a color temperature leaning slightly too warm. An X-Rite calibration addresses this small shortcoming to improve average grayscale and color deltaE values from 4.1 and 2.53 to 2.5 and 1.39, respectively.

Performance — AMD Zen 5 Upgrade
Testing Conditions
We set Omen Gaming Hub to Performance mode and discrete graphics mode prior to running the benchmarks below. A higher "Unleashed" mode is also available, but this has almost no impact to performance levels as our results below will show.
Switching between integrated graphics, hybrid, and discrete graphics requires a reboot each time.
Processor
The Ryzen AI 7 350 is only about 5 to 10 percent faster than the Ryzen 7 8845HS in last year's Omen 17. Its biggest advantages are instead related to AI acceleration as the CPU is based off of the Zen 5 architecture instead of the older Zen 4 series. From the perspective of a gamer, however, the Ryzen AI 7 350 adds little to the gaming experience over the Ryzen 7 8845HS or even Ryzen 9 8945HS.
Users demanding more CPU horsepower may want to consider other Omen laptops like the Omen 16 or Omen Max 16 with the Core i9-14900HX or Core Ultra 9 275HX, respectively, for 50 percent faster multi-thread performance.

Stress Test
The CPU would stabilize at 3.9 GHz, 74 C, and 65 W when initiating Prime95 stress for relatively steady performance even when the CPU is at 100 percent utilization. We also appreciate the relatively low core temperature compared to 82 C on the faster Legion 7 16IAX10 when running the same test.
The GPU stabilizes at 2542 MHz, 110 W, and 72 C when running Cyberpunk 2077 on Unleashed (or Turbo) mode. Results would remain almost unchanged when running on Performance mode meaning that there's very little difference between the two modes in practice. It's not until the system is set to Balanced mode would the GPU drop more noticeably to 2265 MHz, 70 C, and 87 W instead.

System Performance
PCMark 10 would only run when set to iGPU mode and so our Digital Content Creation score below is much lower than it should be. Nonetheless, we experienced a few bugs on our unit worth mentioning. Firstly, the system would sometimes not wake from sleep correctly and so a hard reboot would be required. Secondly, attempting to switch between integrated graphics, hybrid, or discrete graphics via the Omen Gaming Hub would not always work, either. The system must be in Hybrid mode first before switching to iGPU or dGPU modes or else no switch will take place.

Storage Devices
Our test unit ships with a lesser-known T-Force TM8FFE004T PCIe4 x4 NVMe SSD instead of the WD PC SN560 as found on last year's Omen 17. While transfer rates with the T-Force drive are slightly faster by a few hundred MB/s, it's also more susceptible to throttling as shown by our DiskSpd loop results below where performance can fall from 5300 MB/s to 3000 MB/s over the course of several minutes. The SSD may require additional cooling or a larger heat sink for more stable performance.

GPU Performance
The mobile GeForce RTX 5070 has been extensively tested and so additional benchmarks and specifications can be found on our dedicated page here. For the Omen 17, the GPU can run up to 110 W for up to 5 to 10 percent faster performance than the average laptop in our database with the same GPU option. When compared to 2024 Omen 17 with the older RTX 4070, our RTX 5070 is roughly 10 to 20 percent faster in terms of raw rasterization.
Downgrading to the RTX 5060 configuration is expected to entail a 10 percent performance loss. There are unfortunately no RTX 5070 Ti options here as that would have improved gaming performance quite significantly over our RTX 5070 merely due to its larger VRAM pool.
The performance differences between Turbo (or Unleashed mode) versus Performance mode are minimal at best according to our Fire Strike results table below. Meanwhile, dropping down to Balanced mode would impact graphics performance by just a few percentage points. These results align with our observations mentioned above in the Stress Test section.
| Power Profile | Graphics Score | Physics Score | Combined Score |
| Turbo Mode (110 W) | 38680 | 28348 | 13918 |
| Performance Mode (110 W) | 38649 (-0%) | 28300 (-0%) | 14013 (-0%) |

Gaming Performance
The mobile RTX 5070 is great for 1080p or 2K 1440p gaming albeit on medium or lower settings when running more demanding titles. Black Myth: Wukong, for example, averages above 60 FPS when on 1080p High settings but it struggles at maximum 1440p settings. To make the most of the native 240 Hz refresh rate, we recommend running most demanding games on medium settings for higher base frame rates and then activating both DLSS and multi-frame generation if available.
It's worth mentioning that performance when running Assassin's Creed Shadows is below expectations even after multiple retests and on the latest GPU drivers. Running the game at 1080p Low settings, for example, would result in an average frame rate of just 39 FPS compared to 80+ FPS on other laptops with the same RTX 5070 GPU.
Downgrading to the RTX 5060 configuration is only expected to impact gaming performance by just 5 to 10 percent based on our experience with other RTX 5060 laptops.

Emissions
System Noise
The fans in the system can remain quieter for longer periods than on the 2024 model possibly due to the more efficient Zen 5 CPU. When running 3DMark 06, for example, fan noise would top out at just 34 dB(A) at the end of the first benchmark scene compared to 45 dB(A) on last year's model.
When running Cyberpunk 2077, however, the fan noise ceiling would remain the same as before at around 50 dB(A). Note that this ceiling does not change between Performance or Unleashed modes. Dropping the power profile down further to Balanced mode will lower the noise ceiling more significantly to 44 dB(A) albeit with a slight cost to graphics performance as mentioned in the GPU Performance section above.
The 52 dB(A) noise range is much quieter than what we observed on the Lenovo LOQ 17 or Asus TUF Gaming A17 under similar conditions.

Temperature
Surface temperatures are warmest toward the keyboard center where hot spots can reach almost 40 C when gaming. Thankfully, the WASD keys, numpad, and palm rests all remain much cooler.
Average surface temperatures are several degrees C cooler than what we experienced on the competing Lenovo LOQ 17IRX10 where hot spots can reach over 45 C when under similar conditions.
(+) The maximum temperature on the upper side is 39.8 °C / 104 F, compared to the average of 40.4 °C / 105 F, ranging from 21.2 to 68.8 °C for the class Gaming.
(-) The bottom heats up to a maximum of 47 °C / 117 F, compared to the average of 43.2 °C / 110 F
(+) In idle usage, the average temperature for the upper side is 21.9 °C / 71 F, compared to the device average of 33.9 °C / 93 F.
(±) 3: The average temperature for the upper side is 32.1 °C / 90 F, compared to the average of 33.9 °C / 93 F for the class Gaming.
(+) The palmrests and touchpad are cooler than skin temperature with a maximum of 25.2 °C / 77.4 F and are therefore cool to the touch.
(+) The average temperature of the palmrest area of similar devices was 28.9 °C / 84 F (+3.7 °C / 6.6 F).

Energy Management
Power Consumption
Average consumption levels when under load are generally lower than what we recorded on last year's model even though our newer model offers faster performance. When running Cyberpunk 2077, for example, our 2025 Omen 17 would demand about 12 percent less power while running 17 percent faster for improved performance-per-watt. The frame rate advantages can be even greater if utilizing multi-frame generation as the feature is not available on GeForce RTX 40 series GPUs.
We're able to record a maximum draw of 228 W from the medium-sized (~18 x 8.5 x 2.5 cm) 230 W AC adapter when the CPU and GPU are at 100 percent utilization.

Battery capacity is decent for a 17-inch gaming laptop at 83 Wh for a real-world WLAN runtime of just over 8 hours when set to iGPU mode. Competitors like the Asus TUF Gaming A17 or Acer Nitro 5 AN517 have slightly larger batteries and slightly longer runtimes in comparison.
Charging from empty to full capacity with the included AC adapter is fast at less than 90 minutes. Recharging via third-party USB-C AC adapter is also supported.

Notebookcheck Rating
The budget-oriented 2025 Omen 17 runs cooler and quieter than many competitors, but the CPU may disappoint performance hunters.
