Reviews for the HP Omen Transcend 16
Not to be confused with the regular Omen 16, the Omen Transcend 16 is the next step up for the series complete with newer features and options that future Omen models will likely draw from. Know all the differences and changes before pulling the trigger.

The HP Omen Transcend 16 is an absolutely gorgeous and fast laptop for gamers and creators alike. It has a large touchpad, zoned RGB lighting (on this SKU), high-end hardware, and excellent cooling. It's also easy to perform certain DIY upgrades and repairs. The only real knock with this particular SKU is the price. At $2,199.99, it really needs to offer the mini LED display option for a no-brainer recommendation. Otherwise, see if you can catch it on sale—at $1,899.99, it's just $200 more than the baseline config on HP's website (with a slower Core i7-13700HX CPU and GeForce R TX 4060 GPU).

No one doubts that HP makes a sincere effort with its gaming laptops, a category it has played in for less than a decade, and the back-to-back improvements made this year to the Omen 16 line have all been worthwhile. The mini LED screen in particular upgrades the visuals considerably, and the sleeker body design undoubtedly gives the Transcend a style edge—but neither of these things improves performance. And, as you'd expect, the mini LED option is only available in the highest-end configurations. Altogether, the Omen Transcend 16 trailed in performance versus similarly priced laptops that were a bit thicker, not to mention one crucial even-thinner model. With that, we gave the HP Omen Transcend 16 the same score we gave its predecessor, and suggest the Alienware x16 R1 for a thin-and-light gaming laptop, or the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i Gen 8 for the best performance at 16 inches.

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.
The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.
