    I bought my brother this laptop for Christmas a few weeks ago (I got 500 off for student discount - still cost me an arm and a leg and that’s only paying half with my mum (Australian pricing)) and he said if you leave the laptop plugged in you can max out the gaming settings. Works well for him cause he doesn’t really move the laptop. He loves it! So just a tip for anyone who’s thinking of picking this up 👍🏼

    whoever is thinking on picking this laptop up.
    do it. the IPS 144hz panel is everything . the brightness is amazing.
    the keyboard travel distance is more than amazing and it actually makes you type really fast than you usually do.
    it's a really good rendering machine if you're into editing
    and also does a really good job with playing games.
    BUT battery life is going to be a problem for you so get ready for that

    The ethernet port, USB 3.1 port, HDMI, display port, and Thunderbolt 3 port on the back is really nice.
    I hate when ports like those are on the side since you have to curve and bend cables.
    Maybe it's just OCD, but I prefer to have cables neatly connecting instead of curving.
    Plus you can hide things behind instead of cluttering on the sides.
    Good to hear you can replace/upgrade components.
    That's very important with laptops IMO.

    @pagnell-9714 5 років тому +14

    Those are not the speakers, they're the air vents. The speakers are underneath near the front.
    I've got the i5-8300h version of this laptop with the same GTX 1060. This was a deliberate decision, as you get much cooler thermals with little in the way of a trade off in performance. I've also got the model with the 144hz screen, as you're missing the sticker underneath your screen on the left, I assume you have the 60hz panel. The 144hz panel is highly recommended, not only does it mean full Nvidia G-Sync is supported, but it also has far better brightness and colour levels.
    A few recommendations. First thing to do is update the BIOS. This will result in an additional 3rd mode in the Omen Control Centre called Comfort. This results in a big fan boost when under load and a 8-10 degree reduction in temperature. Also, use Throttlestop to undervolt both the CPU core and cache by between 125 and 145mv depending on what your individual CPU can deal with and remain stable. Again, this will result in further temperature drops. One of the main issues with the i7 version of this laptop is thermal throttling as it will regularly hit over 95 degrees when using intense games, both the above recommendations will reduce this happening.
    Also, it's worth noting that the Thunderbolt port only comes with models sporting GTX 1060 and above. You can also get this laptop with a GTX 1050 and GTX 1050ti. This model only comes with a USB Type C.
    Overall a fantastic laptop.

      Pagnell - Hello.
      Considering to buy this laptop.
      Mostly will be using it for virtualization of networking devices: switches, routers, firewalls; using tools like: VMWare, Cisco Virl, Eve Ng, Virtual Box.
      As for gaming - only Data and CS.
      Could someone suggest whether this laptop is a good choice for the above mentioned purposes?
      Thanks in advance

    • @pagnell-9714
      @pagnell-9714 5 років тому +1

      Like most modern laptops it will work fine for those purposes, an i5 8th gen will do the business when it comes to virtualization. However, I'd say the i7 CPU of the Omen could be better given the additional threads and cores.@@Inadriil

  • @yuukifenia1611
    @yuukifenia1611 5 років тому +3

    One important thing is that it can actually support very high end games once you upgrade the Bios. It adds a Comfort mode to the Omen Command Centre which is the more aggressive cooling for gaming and Default becomes silent mode where the fan is only kicked up when it gets hotter. The recent update last week actually made this better and with Overwatch at Ultra 144Hz its giving me max peaks of 80 but average of 74 which is insane. At that temp the fans also are a lot quieter so I'd take a look at that if you still can. The laptop by itself is great but once you upgrade the Bios it can tussle with any of the other options out there.

The laptop is beautiful, and the numb pad came in handy. I also feel comfortable using the track pad when I'm not playing a game or am just too lazy to take out my mouse. I would highly recommend it. I suggest buying it off the website so you can pick out the specs.

    I'm watching this on my new HP Omen. I got the upgrade for the RTX 2060 card, 16g ram and standard options other than that. I haven't run anything super demanding on it but it runs BeamNG Drive and minecraft with ray tracing shaders no problem. The one single thing I dont like about it is the placement of the GFX card fans. They're right where the laptop sits on your legs if you use in on your lap. You can see the vent placement in the video at 2:50.
    So when I first used it, it was heating up because the fans were blocked until I realized where the vents were. I use my laptop while sitting in my recliner mostly so that's sort of a problem. I have a plan to 3d print a cover that goes on the bottom to direct air to the fans from the sides so I dont need a hard surface to set it on everywhere I go. Luckily this laptop runs Fusion360 like butter. One other thing that was just my ignorance was the headphone and microphone ports. I didn't know it had two ports so I thought the headphone port was malfunctioning until I noticed it had two ports and plugged my headphones into the right one. Overall I'm happy with it.

    I bought this laptop 2 months ago and its amazing. I've downloaded a good amount of triple A games and Dolphin emulator on it and it works gr8. The only set back is the laptop has to be plugged in order to play or else you get 15 fps. I tried configuring the settings on nvidia's control panel and put it on "prefer high performance". it worked for a day but idfk what happened. When plugged in, and on nvidia's recommended settings, Pubg can play up to 80fps and the quality is bretty gord even on Wi-Fi. For storage, i can store about 4 triple A games on the SSD, so i advise to only put the games you no-life on this drive. So far it's met my expectations for a good performance laptop. sux it cost me $1,499.

    Probally a bit late to the party but I bought this laptop and could not be happier. I first bought a more expansive MSI laptop with a RTX 2060 and i7. But the thing would get so hot. 95° CPU at 10 minutes of playing. I undervolted it and used a cooling pad but it didn't really make an aprovement. It does not give a peace of mind playing at those tempratures. I returned it and bought this one. Thermals are WAY better. My CPU reaches max 60° and GPU 70°. I have to tweak some settings and can not play everything maxed out what I don't really mind because I'm more a casual gamer. Definitly recommend for a mid tier gaming laptop!
