Sounds like a few downgrades here and there. But I guess it's at least a bit more sleeker than previous gen. Maybe they should move the hinge slightly forward to hide shortened the bottom bezels and improve thermals a tad. Still another decent one from Omen.
I've had HP laptops for at least 10 years, they've always done the job, so I trust HP, once I tried a Lenovo laptop, it was really beautiful but it had a weird noisy fan so I ended up returning it, also I've heard complaints on other brands such as Dell, Asus, etc... so I prefer HP, and today I bought an Omen16 here in Mexico, it is just like yours, i7(13), rtx4060, 1TB Nvme SSD, etc, it is called WD0002LA version. I was relieved to find your review because most of the other reviews are from a different laptop version, and I am glad to hear that this one has a good battery and good thermal control, I will use it for work and gaming, so the design is perfect for me. My last laptop is an HP Pavilion GTX1050, I am not an usual gamer so I only play 1 or 2 games, 3-4 hours a week, it has a bad performance at videogames (anyway I know it is not a gaming laptop) but it is really quick and reliable, that is why I stick with HP, but now I decided to move to a higher gaming laptop, so I hope I have fun with this one :D

Thank you so very much. I'm still in love with my 2021 OMEN 16-c0095ng (5900HX, 3070, 64 GB DDR4) that has two slots for NVMe drives and a better 165 Hz display.
its very good and detailed, but cant display all details my vids, and other high quality contents, have, which i usually see on my monitors its more than enough for most people, its just me being picky in quality control

Hello Matthew, i need a laptop immediately. Do you think this Hp omen 16 is enough, in terms of cost/benefit, to work with music production (instrument recording), mastering and video editing? I'm not a gamer. Do you think I will be disappointed with this 13th generation i.7 processor or is it better to buy a hx 14ºG, but it will be more expensive. MacBooks are too expensive for me, and they don't support some of the programs I use. I have a budget of up to 1350eur. I wanted to enjoy Black Friday. Do you have some laptop suggestions for this purpose? thanks
@@coolebaris love the Legion Series, but now I feel HP is giving them a tough competition since Omen now has better RGB keyboard, cam privacy shutter with IR sensor too. If this beats Legion in performance then many of them would surely consider Omen Edit: All these features r available in HP Omen Transcend 16 not regular
I have an omen 16 (2021 model) and although the lid is made out of plastic, the palmrest seems to be made out of a magnesium alloy of some kind, because when scratched it shows the silver material underneath. And I don't see a reason for them to use silver plastic and paint it black instead of making the plastic black from the get go.
Good review man I’m thinking of getting this laptop, but damn seeing you play left handed messes with my head, never thought about the fact left handed people have to change the keys around for gaming.
I was considering buying a version of this in a Swedish store - but the peculiar thing is that it doesn't have any fan exhausts on the sides. And they don't offer any pictures from the back on their site - its called "HP Omen 16-wd0828no". Anyone knows what kind of cooling it has?
I appreciate the video. On paper this laptop looks exactly like what I need for various different things, but I’m apprehensive to purchase HP products after I had one that caught fire 3 times due to faulty wiring (they fixed twice for free and it kept catching fire) and then a pavilion that I used that the hard drive gave out within a few weeks. They gave me 10% off my next purchase as a “sorry” after I brought it to their attention. It never felt like they cared, it was more of “protect our selves” thing where the process was hard and they just felt like they got sick of me needing the faulty laptops they sold me fixed.
they are trying soo hard to hide its color specs on websites I was sure something is not right. I was right, display this terrible on a 1000$+ laptop should be illegal :| Lenovo LOQ are dying here and there so I was looking for options, both asus tuf and omen has bad display :/

Hello, is your laptop now normal and trouble-free?The 2023 version of the OMEN16 sold in China will have a black screen for no reason due to PCB design flaws, and tens of thousands of people have already encountered this problem, and HP's engineers do not intend to solve this problem completely, I don't know if the OMEN16 sold in other countries also has this problem.
Should i buy msi vector instead of omen? Omen has rtx 4080, instead of Victus’ 4060, and the prices are almost the same and i can’t increase my budget rn.
Hey i bought a new omen 16 - i7 14700hx with RTX 4070 8gb graphics card- its brand new from HP however, the battery life normal usuage lasted 1 hour and 30-40 mins and light gaming 1 hour and 15 mins is this normal?? I returned the laptop and got another replacement brand new from hp and still the same, it has 165hz display and im trying to understand if its normal or faulty, the laptop both came without charge upon opening the box i had to charge it to run it initially
Nah that's how long gaming laptop's battery last usually when you play games on battery. It's recommended to plug in while playing and tweak some settings here and there to get a higher battery duration (like 4 hours) while not gaming.
What settings are you using for Photoshop? I've had battery issues from the opening oct 2023. Nowadays, if I unplug it the battery drain is about an hour from 100%, if I can get it to charge that high. And I can't calibrate the battery either.
Bought this new recently from Best Buy. I play a lot of Hell Let Loose and it runs flawlessly with an external monitor. In fact, I will be selling my desktop to use this as my primary device. No complaints at all so far.
Thanks for another objective review Matt. I haven't had good experiences with HP products in the past so I'm gun shy with the brand (the ASUS you compared it to would be my preferred choice).
@@alexandrumalos2137Although I already answered your question in my original post above you shouldn't choose based on my experience, it's too far in the past.

Same for me. My 2021 OMEN 16-c0095ng has a trackpad that doesn't work properly. It often doesn't respond to input at all. It's annoying, but I can live with it. I only use it with my Razer DeathAdder V2.
I plan to get a gaming laptop and install BSD system if it comes with Windows 11 for playing old games from GOG, exe. and iso files as well as for video game development. That one I plan to get: HP OMEN - 16.1" 165Hz Full HD Gaming Laptop - Intel Core i9 - 16GB DDR5 Memory - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 - 1TB SSD So, has anyone used it ? any experience ? anything to tell ? Thank you in advance. P.S. This seems to have a decent price which might get cheaper through Black Friday at Best Buy.
This is the worst service I ever faced. This is the worst laptop I ever bought. I already sent my laptop to the service 3 times, from 8 month owning the laptop, 1,5 it spent in service trips and 3 weeks was not functional due to different issues. At first they changed videocard from 4070 to 4060, than bluetooth stopped working, than wifi and sudden turns off. Just never again.
I bought one of these but since day 1 i’ve been experiencing very frequent blue screen issue, i even reinstalled windows but after a couple of days the issue is back again, i literally start playing games and withing 30-60mins (sometimes even less) it shuts down by its own Now i started thinking maybe the 16Gb RAM is the issue, so i’m going to upgrade it asap and hopefully it fixes the problem
2:52 - you taken goddess button placement from desktop full sized keyboard. AND BANG BANG - putting some sitty pause button instead of DELETE. Whyyyyy?
Mine is different, with ports on the back and has a RTX 4070 instead. I really like the laptop and has been doing well for me on a variety of things. It is a big laptop though, so if you want portability, this isn't exactly the best choice.

Omen was already bottom of the barrel with acer if they cut even more corners you may as well not even look lol. The spec sheet vs price is always really good with sales but at some point you gotta draw the line on poor build and software.
Probably late, but if you are a programmer like me and you require something to handle alot of heavy software lifting, Omen performs really well. However, I also game on it during my free time, which puts it even more to the test and so far, it's great. However, you need to clean and take care of it, this isn't a cheap laptop that uou can discard after 2-3 years. If you take care of it, it can last 6-7 years, which is totally worth the price.
Oh wow they really cheaped out on that screen. Such a shame considering how amazing everything else is. Ill wait til something goes on sale with a 1440p OLED.
Omg no more full sd card slot...on which drugs are these people!?! Screen still 16:9, still wobble...never again HP laptop, I'm reborn after jumping on Lenovo 5i Pro!
This business laptop look totally killed the gamer idendity, where is the diamond logo??? On top of that, the build quality is also bad. And that thick bezel remains me of some 2012 technology. HP made a huge mistake again~~~~~

Hey i bought a new omen 16 - i7 14700hx with RTX 4070 8gb graphics card- its brand new from HP however, the battery life normal usuage lasted 1 hour and 30-40 mins and light gaming 1 hour and 15 mins is this normal?? I returned the laptop and got another replacement brand new from hp and still the same, it has 165hz display and im trying to understand if its normal or faulty, the laptop both came without charge upon opening the box i had to charge it to run it initially
Nah that's how long gaming laptop's battery last usually when you play games on battery. It's recommended to plug in while playing and tweak some settings here and there to get a higher battery duration (like 4 hours) while not gaming.
Nobody in their right mind games without plugged in@@riteshgupta0804
good to see you review newer models now like laptops that released at the same yr you review them
What settings are you using for Photoshop? I've had battery issues from the opening oct 2023. Nowadays, if I unplug it the battery drain is about an hour from 100%, if I can get it to charge that high. And I can't calibrate the battery either.
Is this a good laptop or should I get the omen 17??
Bought this new recently from Best Buy. I play a lot of Hell Let Loose and it runs flawlessly with an external monitor. In fact, I will be selling my desktop to use this as my primary device. No complaints at all so far.
This comment has made me go for it
It's simple, it's plastic, it's chunky and it's a crappy fingerprint magnet. The dim and dark display is great for Taylor Swift videos
Brr ☠️☠️🤣
Thanks for another objective review Matt. I haven't had good experiences with HP products in the past so I'm gun shy with the brand (the ASUS you compared it to would be my preferred choice).
Hi, I am also now deciding between HP and ASUS, what was your choice in the end?
@@alexandrumalos2137Although I already answered your question in my original post above you shouldn't choose based on my experience, it's too far in the past.
As someone who never like black laptops, I think this is the best looking black laptop.
What’s be better this laptop or Lenovo slim 7?
Did they fix the trackpad static issue?
Exactly what i wanted to ask , i have a ryzen 7 with 3070 and this is just a joke..1500$ laptop with no functional touchpad
@@idan678
same problem mine with 5800h and 6600m.
I even tried sending it in for repair through warranty and it came back the same as before with a note of "Driver UPDATE"
Same for me. My 2021 OMEN 16-c0095ng has a trackpad that doesn't work properly. It often doesn't respond to input at all. It's annoying, but I can live with it. I only use it with my Razer DeathAdder V2.
I got the Canadian model with 4070 and it has some ports on the back of the laptop, do you think that it has a different motherboard?
Where did you get it from?
I bought my HP OMEN 16 i7 14th Gen 4060... I am not happy with Laptop's poor Battery life which is not more than 2hrs😢😢😢
How to limit my battery to 80% in my hp omen 16 2023 pls reply or make a video 🙏🏻
I plan to get a gaming laptop and install BSD system if it comes with Windows 11 for playing old games from GOG, exe. and iso files as well as for video game development.
That one I plan to get:
HP OMEN - 16.1" 165Hz Full HD Gaming Laptop - Intel Core i9 - 16GB DDR5 Memory - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 - 1TB SSD
So, has anyone used it ?
any experience ?
anything to tell ?
Thank you in advance.
P.S. This seems to have a decent price which might get cheaper through Black Friday at Best Buy.
not having a numpad is a deal breaker for me
You have no idea how I bought acer helios neo rtx4060 I5-13500HX 1440p 500 nits for only $999
Good laptop for triple a gaming refresh rate is smooth and runs great on tougher games
This is the worst service I ever faced.
This is the worst laptop I ever bought.
I already sent my laptop to the service 3 times, from 8 month owning the laptop, 1,5 it spent in service trips and 3 weeks was not functional due to different issues. At first they changed videocard from 4070 to 4060, than bluetooth stopped working, than wifi and sudden turns off. Just never again.
I bought one of these but since day 1 i’ve been experiencing very frequent blue screen issue, i even reinstalled windows but after a couple of days the issue is back again, i literally start playing games and withing 30-60mins (sometimes even less) it shuts down by its own
Now i started thinking maybe the 16Gb RAM is the issue, so i’m going to upgrade it asap and hopefully it fixes the problem
Could be over heating. That turns it off randomly
2:52 - you taken goddess button placement from desktop full sized keyboard. AND BANG BANG - putting some sitty pause button instead of DELETE. Whyyyyy?
How long would the battery last for average web surfing or streaming some media?
8 hours according to the website. i’m looking at it too.
@@Charlie1875 I have bought the laptop 2 months ago
@@Charlie1875 8hrs is a stretch. I get about 4-5 hrs when on eco mode
Some 2023 models do come with ports at the back. Why isnt this the case?? I know for a fact that the 4080 version does have them.
Mine is different, with ports on the back and has a RTX 4070 instead. I really like the laptop and has been doing well for me on a variety of things. It is a big laptop though, so if you want portability, this isn't exactly the best choice.
16” laptops are generally big. Being a gaming laptop it adds a lot of weight to it also
How much did you pay for it ? I plan to buy the same configuration for 1500€
Guys help meee, i cannot decide wether to buy this laptop with i7 13700hx or ryzen 7 7840hs , i mostly plan to use it for heavy gaming and some recording and editing
I wanted to see the review for 16 Transcend miniled version. Please see to it Matthew
YES BOSS
I know you’re left handed but i never see anyone who plays fps with ijkl keys
haha ya im a weirdo
Would this run World of Warcraft smoothly?
There are two types those who peel the stickers and those who wait.
I bought hp omen Ryzen 7 1tb 16 gb ram 4060 rtx I’m very disappointed with my battery performance 1:30 hrs 😢
how do u only have one drive slot,,thats a killer for me
Why tf they cheap out on the display
Matthew Moniz is a swiftie too
Can you review the 4080 version ?
Does this have mux switch
1:17 Big mistake imo. Same with Lenovo dropping Thunderbolt off of their Legion Pro 5.
Is there a Mux switch?
yup!
Hi I want to get a gaming laptop.My choices are:
1.Laptop Gaming HP OMEN 17-ck0011nq cu procesor Intel® Core™ i5-11400H pana la 4.50 GHz, 17.3", Full HD, IPS, 16GB, 512GB SSD, NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 3060 6GB,
2.Laptop Gaming HP Omen 16-wd0000nq, Intel Core i5-13420H pana la 4.6GHz, 16" FHD, 16GB, SSD 512GB, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 6GB
3.Laptop gaming LENOVO IdeaPad Gaming 3 15ARH7, AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS pana la 4.5GHz, 15.6" Full HD, 16GB, SSD 512GB, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 6GB
4.Laptop Gaming Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15IAH7 cu procesor Intel® Core™ i5-12450H pana la 4.40 GHz, 15.6", Full HD, IPS, 16GB DDR4, 512GB SSD, GeForce RTX 3060 6GB
They are all at the almost same price.I got a year ago an Ideapad gaming 3 with i5 12450h rtx 3050ti and I had to return it because the battery was discharging while it was plugged in(the charger wasn't powerful enough to keep the laptop charged).Which one is better for longevity,I heard that the hp are better but I need your opinion.
Please I bought it and every game keeps crashing this is my first time buying a gaming laptop please help me.
Its been 8 months so im assuming you've updated your GPU drivers by now. Gotta do that before playing any new release
@@GaminylGames nope still crashes ive done every thing possible i still cant play anything.
I would look for some other laptop.Even if this is a budget device I’m pretty sure there are better option.
Any recommendations
Saw this at Best Buy. Was it just me or was the colors washed out on the display
Bro in my country an omen16 with 4060 i9 13900hx and a 2.5k 240hz screen is only 1300$
Is it touchscreen?
250-300 nits displays when the competition is doing bright IPS, Oled, and mini-led... smh.
The Transcend model is interesting
Even when there's nothing to complaint about. He is still complaining 😏
"to complaint about" 💀
how to get the rgb on the keyboard,i only got white light
Only more advanced laptop can have RGB, I'm omen16 and only white light
Omen was already bottom of the barrel with acer if they cut even more corners you may as well not even look lol. The spec sheet vs price is always really good with sales but at some point you gotta draw the line on poor build and software.
Sooo.... How do we upgrade the SSD?
Do u think it’d be good for college
Probably late, but if you are a programmer like me and you require something to handle alot of heavy software lifting, Omen performs really well. However, I also game on it during my free time, which puts it even more to the test and so far, it's great. However, you need to clean and take care of it, this isn't a cheap laptop that uou can discard after 2-3 years. If you take care of it, it can last 6-7 years, which is totally worth the price.
Amazing battery life really? Mine on Eco mode last for 2.5 hours only while only browsing the internet and watching youtube videos
Oh wow they really cheaped out on that screen. Such a shame considering how amazing everything else is. Ill wait til something goes on sale with a 1440p OLED.
Omg no more full sd card slot...on which drugs are these people!?! Screen still 16:9, still wobble...never again HP laptop, I'm reborn after jumping on Lenovo 5i Pro!
The background music is not good. Put a gentle one next time.
I own this laptop now but it's a 4050 not a 4060. I love it so much ❤
There are 3 different models. 4050, 4060, and 4070.
I'll be buying 4060 variant ...btw hows it been so far.?
@@tabishsiddiqui2630 really good. The first and most smoothest laptop I ever own. Glad I purchased it 👍. Your's must be smoother, how's your doing?
@@tabishsiddiqui2630this thing is amazing/impressive so far tbh
i have the same rtx 4050 laptop , but a disappointed battery life ( last 2 hours barely on light work ) despite everything is up to date
GPU TDP Watt?
230W and 140W Graphics Card
Where are laptops setup comparisons I'm waiting for them😭😭😭😭
This business laptop look totally killed the gamer idendity, where is the diamond logo??? On top of that, the build quality is also bad. And that thick bezel remains me of some 2012 technology. HP made a huge mistake again~~~~~
this or the ASUS TUF QHD with i7 12th gen?
Go for the ASUS TUF variant than this.

Why
@@frazerasokan2912They have really bad quality assurance, it’s like winning the lottery if you get an hp laptop that doesn’t have an issue.
can anyone share the wallpaper ?

I was gonna buy it because of ım the designer but you said do not rn ım gonna cry cause ı have no other plan
Lots of downgrade HP put on this 2023 omen
Hp Omen Transcend 16 please
Hopefully soon!
Hey Matt, those are literally the WORST display numbers I've ever seen in my entire life LOL that being said, I duno why the HP (Canada) website advertises this display as 100% sRGB
ya makes no sense! lol
if u dualboot windows + linux, do not buy rog. Buy this...
I mean its an lenovo oven for cooking omelette😅
That laptop looks like right from 2018 xD
16:9 the disgusting screen ratio... was it that necessary to put this giant chin logo in 2024?
So good specs with so bad screen... : /
Basically it’s perfect if you use an external monitor for the majority of time 😂
Did you custon order a neon sign with your name on it? And you just have that on your wall? I hope you could write it off as a business expense!
im very very dissapointed with this laptop
Why?
@anchzeror the battery life is like 2 hours bro :/
I think you just like to moan, from what I can tell in this video. On my 92% SRGB IPS monitor the colours look fine...
6:29 👍 👍 👍
