HP has been doing a great job with their software controlling hardware wattage lately. Dialing back the unnecessary CPU wattage does wonders 👍 I have a similar result with their OMEN 17 with the 10750H and 2080 Super. I had a chat with one of their bios team members mid 2018 and I made some suggestions. Maxing out the fan and wattage control being the main two. They said they’d work on it and it might take a few chassis’s iterations to get there, but they did it. I figured they were just blowing smoke at me 🤷♂️
AkgamesMC That’s up to you since they both are good. I gave my two cents on that question at the end of my HP Omen review actually. Either way, I recommend both often 👍
Another good thing about having that gap between the lid and the deck is that it prevents the permanent smudge created by the keys on the screen. Maybe not completely but surely does a better job than the ones that have no gap.
Remember people, this is the intel i7 and high grade gpu varient! My omen 15 with 144hz display, Amd 4600H with 1650ti, yup I know not the highest spec ever, but yeah, no thermal issues, 6-7 hrs of battery life on normal work loads. Given the minimal look, best laptop of 2020 imo
Any idea If the amd 4600h is good enough for using daw softwares with big plugins like omnipshere/kontakt 5? I am debating between the 4600h and the 4800h
@@watimeyur6194 sorry dude, I don't have any idea about those softwares, just so as you know, if these softwares use multi-core performance, even 4600H is better than an i7 10th gen in many instances.

Just got mine 1 week ago it doesn't get hot a lot . It cools very quick . The games run smoothly with 144hz mine is ryzen 7 4800h with gtx 1660 ti, 8gb. Glad I got it.
You CAN charge via the Thunderbolt/USB-C, you will need a docking station that can output over 200 watts. The power requirements is 200 watts which is the same as the included brick. So far I can only use a Dell docking station that is able to output 230 watts and i have no issues with it charging. I tried with other docking stations with less than 200 and it does not work for charging.
Hey Matt i love this style of review, i think it is genius. You honestly touched about almost everything that i am particularly looking for in a laptop. Sometime i would struggle constantly looking for all the youtube videos just to find the 1 demo feature ex: Sound noise. You did a great job showing the sound decibels.. however you didn't record the sound at each stages of workload. Some laptop fans make these highpitch sounds some are quite bearable within the same decibel.
I have the AMD 4800H version with the 1660ti, 120hz screen, 16gb ram and 1 TB HD and while transfering files from my old laptop, i had it unplugged for about 6 hours copying files hitting the CPU hard. Have not tried gaming on it with it unplugged.
I also have the 4800h with 144hz screen and 1660ti. I usually don't even bother plugging it in when gaming or web surfing. 70Wh battery, and the system just works well together
@@aquawater5069 No, the AMD ones (at this time) only come with the GTX 1650 cards so it doesn't have DLSS. Only the Intel models have the RTX 2060, and Prudhvi was saying wouldn't the DLSS boost be worth it. So yes, its a fair point.
@@ryansony Not their fault. AMD CPUs have a tendency to run too hot next to high-end Nvidia GPUs that draw a lot more TDP. This is why OEMs are extremely cautious about pairing AMD CPUs with them. As for Cameron's original comment, there's a pretty noticeable difference between the 2060 (90 W, which Omen is using) and the 2070 S Max-Q in terms of gaming performance. Keep in mind it's a SUPER Max-Q, not the regular one. It all comes down to what you prioritize at the end of the day, a heavier wallet or more frames on your laptop. I'm going with the AMD+2060 as I don't want to cross my $1600 budget
I went with the AMD, 1660 version and there are *zero* heat issues with really solid performance. Idc what graphics card you get with it, no way would I go with Intel
@@firstname745 nice passive aggressive insult that doesn't actually make sense. Hope it works out for you, I'm just not sure why people would pick decreased performance with 10-20° worse temperatures.
@@DeepakChoudhary-vg2sz the cooling solution is superior on the Omen 15. Also the G14 uses a Max Q GPU which is not better than even the 1660 Ti model. Also I've gotten better battery life than this youtuber, but 3 hours is typical battery life when not turning down brightness and other adjustments.
I found your channel yesterday and I gotta say you cover more than other tech reviewers and a answer questions something I really like thank you for the cool content
Just got the AMD Ryzen 7 (1660Ti) with the 144hz screen. Its great. In Dave2d's video, he said the screen hinge was loose, but I did not experience that in my model.
Have to say, since owning a HP Omen 17 (2016 - (1070/6700hq) and noting how beasty THAT thing was with a top spec 1070, I am not surprised to see really positive reviews on their products starting to shine through. If I could have got my hands on a top spec Omen 15/17 prior I would have bought the newer model, but this time I couldn't access one here in Aussie! Lets hope when I upgrade possibly next year they are available.
Nice Review, thank you. I especially appreciate you explaining the balance mode as I am in the grey area on whether to go with Intel or AMD. There is currently a great deal on Amazon but with an Intel processor which gave me pause as too high operating CPU temperatures was worrisome to me. Matthew, since you explained the balance mode feature, I know that I can just choose that option and not worry about too high CPU temperatures. Thank you,
I have a couple of questions. Would this be good for taking to class, even with the short battery life? My other question is just how good is the Optane on the SSD?
I really like this format. It seems more like a conversation with us, covering our issues. I would buy but there only seems to be one SKU in the UK. Though I recommended it to my friend in Canada who bought it last month.
If you want a more subtle look (less gamer, good if you’re bringing to school/work) go for this one, but if you want a more gaming look laptop, go for the acer predator. They’re both similar in performance.
@@fritolaid6805 ACER has slightly better build than the Omen 15 but in hall honesty the Omen is overall a better spec'd machine for the price. I think both are the same price or right next to each other. The Omen also runs slightly cooler. I mean the ACER Predator is an older model so overall it's expected to be worse than the Omen.
Aussie Battler how is the fan sound? I watched jarrods tech and he complimented the low temps but said the fans are kinda louder than other AMD laptops
Great video! I get the 10300h+RTX2060 144hz model and only question left is thermals. I mean, what would I lose to switch balanced mode? Like 4-5 fps or more? Also, %10 undervolt will give me under 85°? And finally, any chance 10300h-144hz model gets less hot than 10750h variant? Thanks in advance video was super helpful.
Great video ! its certainly unique and very interesting to watch in this format, Please do a comparision between the AMD model, I heard the 144hz and the 300hz panel are quite different when it comes to colors
Yeah, that seemed way louder than normal. My tuf a15 in balance/performance(mid) mode idles at 2300rpm and then 4800 at full load. Turbo mode can go up to 5500rpm under full load, but I rarely see it go that high. If the hp omen’s fans go to 5800rpm and it’s always idling at a faster rpm, no wonder it stays cooler.
I've been looking for a laptop for occasional gaming but will, for the most part, be using it for content creation like Adobe illustrator, photoshop, premiere pro. Would you recommend this laptop for that purpose?
hi matthew, great review, however i saw in the video the temperature pushes to 97 deg C which is damaging the internal parts of Laptop, but is that the HP has max temp limits above 100 deg c and so we can get best permonance out of it or its better to play at lower temp?
Loved your video ;first youtuber according to me who took the general quiries of the people and helped them decide to take the right choice ( congrats you have earned one more subscriber)
I haven’t had any of those issues, I’ve got the intel i7 10th Gen with the RTX 2060. Haven’t noticed any over heating. If you’re having those issues then maybe some were shipped it with bad chargers 🤷♀️
1:26 that's a good point, however don't try playing demanding games with the lid closed. The temps go much higher, much faster with the lid closed. At least in my experience with the i7 & rtx 3070. It gets hot.
I have the 2020 version and due to reviews like this i bought it and i am super unhappy, the laptops is plagued with issues, like constant bsod crashes, the drivers are not getting updates, bad linux support, before the last bios update the wifi card was always disabled after sleep and you had to restart the computer, also usb c external monitor didn't work, also constant issues with sound. If i could choose i would avoid this brand, they do not give a fuck about regular users, their main business is selling huge quantities to businesses, they do not support customer laptops.
The flex is bad not because it will have a bad effect on the screen, but because it will eventually damage the hinge, by applying downward force on it. In fact, if the screen is flexible and spongy enough, it will be good for the hinge.
Cons: subpar battery life and it's default ongoing fan that never shuts off completely, unless you go under ~ 10 % CPU and GPU which you can only do if you for example watch a movie/video in VLC/Media player or watch a UA-cam video for a while. But as soon as you start to browse internet, open tons of fans etc the fan comes on automatically which is annoying (even in comfort mode). Also sometimes when I'm not doing anything the fan will start up and go crazy or loud for a few second before shutting down. Fan under heavy load is normal or noisy (IMO). Temperature wise, this machine will stay cool no matter what, but tbh I don't really care for this I just wish it wouldn't be so noisy and be completely silent during light tasks. Specs: AMD, 144 hz, 16 GB RAM, memory speed: 3200. Wifi 6 (wtf even is this? haven't noticed anything special.)
Charlie Correa Ok I hate this. AMD is amazing but people have to remember that Intel is still in the game. People go see reviews and see that AMD has tons of performance and automatically side with AMD (like this comment). But the Intel i7 1065G7 is from 2019 and compared to the AMD Ryzen 7 4700U from this year has, on average 15% more performance. But the Intel’s single core and dual core speed is still faster. So hypothetically some games will run better on the Intel CPU because it only uses a single core (multithreaded games are hard to code). Although the 4700U shreds in multicore applications, it has 4 more cores. FOUR MORE. 15% increase with 4 MORE CORES. Nonetheless this shows that Intel is still capable and that people should do their research.
@@user-qk8rt9yf9v no one is saying Intel is down and out, but they are an extremely anti- competitive company. They artificially lock down "features" to get more money out of you. They haven't put a decent cooler on a chip in ages. In order to keep the "GHz" advantage they crank the power to 100 causing people to need to Delid their chips to cool them down properly. They paid Dell to not use AMD. They definitely hired a Russian company to put a hit piece on AMD saying their stock should he valued at 0 and that they exposed a vulnerability called "ryzenfall" that someone needed admin access to exploit.. They promised 10nm years ago. They market their products and say it is better while using a better video card. Stuff like this is why you shouldn't have pity for intel. Not yet at least. Let AMD and Intel be 50-50 and then we can start feeling sorry for the 10,000 pound gorilla that has stagnated technology to squeeze out more money out of its consumers. It's like people have Stockholm syndrome with Intel and always defend the hand that slaps them.
@@user-qk8rt9yf9v intel still in the game is nonsense. The 1065G7 is a low powered 10nm chipset that cant even outperform a 4 year old 7700hq. Comparing low powered ultrabook chips to make your point? Lets compare the performance chips, 4800h from AMD and the 10875 h from intel, the 4800h rips it apart in almost everything and equals it on single core loads. Intel might still be capable but they have to prove it, as consumers we need these two to compete obviously but right now, intel hasnt offered jack. Oh, and i wont even get into how some of theyre desktop chips are horrendously expensive
Wooosh If Gay 1065g7 is 4c8t, 4700u is 8c8t without SMT. Based on notebookcheck 4700u has 103% perf single core, 169% multicore cinebench r20 compared to 1065g7. Most important: 1065g7 is more expensive than 4700u and 4700u is not the best AMD cpu. 4800u are the strongest 15w cpu up to now.
Nguyen Dinh Of course it has way more performance in multi core applications it has FOUR MORE CORES. cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i7-1065G7-vs-AMD-Ryzen-7-4700U/m888368vsm1105478 it beats the 1065G7 in only quad core and outa core applications cause who guessed it, it has 4 MORE CORES. But the 1065G7 beats it still in dual core and single core applications. And it was released a year ago.
This is awesome, thanks for the review! One more question: are the speakers any good? My current laptop can only get to around 50%-60% in volume before it starts breaking really badly in quality (I have to use separate speakers).
I've just pre-ordered HP Omen with R7 4800H + RTX 2060. Stuff will come next september i think (as far as i know, this specs available in southeast asian market)
Hello... Really liked your content. I want one suggestion from you. Please help... Which brand offers better thermals and cooling system among entry-level gaming laptops. Here I am basically considering Dell G3 , HP Omen 15, Asus ROG Strix G series, Asus ROG Zephyrus, Asus TUF A15 & also some lenovo & acer models... Looking forward to your reply....😀
I just purchased the AMD 16gb version. Using the lastest version of corel painter it takes a 40 x 40 inch 300dpi image with multiple layers painted with max sized brushes before it starts showing any noticable lag. And according to steams VR test its VR ready.
Hi thanks for review i just have one question where does it stand against Legion 5, Helios 300 in terms of thermal performance, gaming performance and durability? Which one will you prefer?
Got the AMD ryzen 7 1660ti. Love this laptop. Best out there for the price. Runs games like valorant like butter. COD runs smooth but not at highest settings. Overall great laptop, only complaint so far is I wish the brightness was a little bit brighter, but it’s still very good as it is
Would this be considered good or bad against other RTX 2060 GPUs. Is the 100w in this all that much different between other 90w iterations for performance? I cant really tell.
Hello Matthew, as always thank you for the amazing review. During this time and considering that I want to keep both of my kidneys, which laptop Omen 15 is worth the price?, The AMD or the Intel one?, can you please compare both please. Thank you
Hi Matthew, I work with 3d Modelling software. I shortlisted two laptops: Predator 2020 with RTX 2070 and HP Omen 2020 model with RTX 2070. Both have almost same specs. Which one would you suggest to go for?
Hello! Please tell me something.. I'm super confused between the Helios 300 and the HP Omen Ryzen 7 variant. Can you please tell me what would suit me better? PS- I would be using it for UI/UX design, Video Editing, Photoshop, 3d etc Thaaaanks!
I bought this laptop after watching this video. Thank you for your effort. HP Omen 15 is great but the fan noice is a novelty to me. This is my first gaming laptop. I hope I can get used to it.
Hey there! I Enjoyed the video. One question though, is the laptop able to run high demanding games such as "Microsoft Flight Sim 2020" With a stable, healthy Framerate?
So as far as noise concerns would the Legion 5 be better? I had heard so many good things about the omen's new thermal solution and I was hoping for a low noise machine that does not feel hot to the touch while gaming (even at the cost of some performance). Also the AMD based Elutroniks RP15/XMG CORE 15 looks like a good option, which of these laptop would you recommend?
Hey Matthew , What are your views about HP omen 2021 ryzen model build quality and screen quality I am gonna buy it this month ? Your opinion can make me change my decision If possible please make a video on that too a request from a fan😀
Matthew love your content. Wondering why haven't reached 1M yet??? We support you man. Keep doing what you love. Could you also try doing a review on Asus M15( The AMD) one!!!
I just realised that the version imported to my country, Malaysia has numpad on the keyboard. However, the variant that is available in my country so far by the time this comment is made is only Intel Core i5 + NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650.
Hi. Can you do a Performance comparison between balanced mode and Performance Mode? How many % or FPS (Gameplay) will you loose? And, of course, with AMD Model would be awesome (or your opinion If the Drop in Balanced Mode would be about the Same with AMD...)
A Ryzen comparison would be fantastic, but do you know if there is a 2060 model on Team Red's side? I heard a rumour one was coming but don't know the details.
Hey man, what would be the order if we rank Acer Nitro 5 series, Asus ROG Strix G series, Dell G3 series, Lenovo Legion 5 series & HP Omen 15 on the basis of product reliability, durability and hardware quality ? Please do reply.
Hello! I am looking to buy a laptop that is good for music production and also gaming, and I have stumbled upon Lenovo Legion 5 and HP Omen 15. Which audio technology would be best? Also, with the music production as my priority, should I go for the AMD Ryzen 7 or Intel i7? Please note that I am not playing video games for too much. Legion 5: Dolby Atmos HD Audio Harman Kardon Omen: DTS HP Audio Boost Bang & Olufsen Omen Audio Control Support DTS:X® Ultra Thanks!
If you can check the Lenovo Legion 7i compared to the HP OMEN it would be excellent, it may be that the Lenovo is above the HP, the chassis looks better the temperatures would have to be compared, the screen, the performance and the battery, great Matthew work
i have the i7 rtx 2060 300 hz version. Laptop runs great, every game is over 120 fps. The issue is the temps. They easily go over 90-95+ degrees on the cpu on games like warzone, overwatch, rainbow six siege and then games like LoL hit around 80 or so. They aren't constantly over 90 but stays around there for awhile. To fix this, download throttlestop and disable turboobost, now my temps don't go past 75%
Did you make sure to switch from your dedicated card to the graphics on the APU to extend battery life? With that in mind I've seen battery tests as high as 10 hours
How to make sure which model has switchable graphics? I intend to buy 15-ek0004ne model with intel i7 rtx 2060 and i dont know if it has switchable graphics or not🤔😥
@@shurbagirl I also like to use ThrottleStop and configure my power plan so that my cpu will down clock when on battery power, if you want a guide on how to do this, just email me at damianb32002@gmail.com
@@shurbagirl Personally, I would opt for an AMD model, as they are more power efficient and run at cooler temperatures than Intel chips at the moment, the 8 Core 4800H should also outperform the 6 Core 10750H, which the 10750H if you have it running at max clocks 24/7, will most likely thermal throttle, limiting performance. On paper the 10750H should outperform the Ryzen 7 In terms of gaming, where Single Core clock speeds being more relevant atm than multi core clock speeds, but thermal throttling will let the AMD pull ahead. AMD laptops are also usually cheaper than Intel. I'm still rocking my Mag 15 with a 9750H and 1660Ti, no power or thermal throttling, though it took a lot of tinkering into Throttlestop to fix that, now my CPU runs at the 92nd Percentile (My CPU outperforms all but 8 of the same CPU in different systems) and my GPU at the 98th percentile (outperforms all but 2 of the same card)
I've watched both your reviews for the HP Omen 15 and the Acer Helios 300, but couldn't come to a decisive decision. I'm looking to get either of these with an RTX 2070 and wanted to know which performs better in terms of thermals? The Helios video didn't have stats to compare

Why can’t the 17” version look this nice? Would definitely be a runner up to the XPS with these specs
The real truth!!!
Colonel Singala in the houseeeeee
I'd still prefer the AMD version! The performance gains from an RTX 2060 and a 2070 Super Max-Q are generally minor.
Dlss 2.0?
@@prudhvic4 available on both cards.
@@aquawater5069 No, the AMD ones (at this time) only come with the GTX 1650 cards so it doesn't have DLSS. Only the Intel models have the RTX 2060, and Prudhvi was saying wouldn't the DLSS boost be worth it.
So yes, its a fair point.
Alex Luukkonen its a shame manufacturers nerf the amd laptops with weaker GPUs
@@ryansony
Not their fault. AMD CPUs have a tendency to run too hot next to high-end Nvidia GPUs that draw a lot more TDP. This is why OEMs are extremely cautious about pairing AMD CPUs with them.
As for Cameron's original comment, there's a pretty noticeable difference between the 2060 (90 W, which Omen is using) and the 2070 S Max-Q in terms of gaming performance. Keep in mind it's a SUPER Max-Q, not the regular one. It all comes down to what you prioritize at the end of the day, a heavier wallet or more frames on your laptop.
I'm going with the AMD+2060 as I don't want to cross my $1600 budget
I went with the AMD, 1660 version and there are *zero* heat issues with really solid performance. Idc what graphics card you get with it, no way would I go with Intel
I've got the Intel version and it doesn't get hot at all. Maybe you just have soft sensitive hands?
How's the battery life?
@@firstname745 nice passive aggressive insult that doesn't actually make sense. Hope it works out for you, I'm just not sure why people would pick decreased performance with 10-20° worse temperatures.
@@tejomukesh it's ok, nothing great. I haven't done actual timing but I would say I probably get 3-4 hours on average.
@@firstname745 how is the laptop? I currently have a Alienware and it gets hot! Looking to buy a new laptop soon! Is this worth it?
I purchased and love this laptop... the form factor is a huge plus for me. 5 mths later and no issues for me..
Hows the fan noise on idle? Is it really that noticeable?
@@YJbeats not really
Would like to see the amd version being compared to zephyrus g14.
Btw changed my opinion from intel to amd for the next laptop
smart man!
Seconded. Amd omen vs Zephyrus G14 !!
Yup...especially when they are so closely specced and priced (Matt's SKU)
@@DeepakChoudhary-vg2sz the cooling solution is superior on the Omen 15. Also the G14 uses a Max Q GPU which is not better than even the 1660 Ti model. Also I've gotten better battery life than this youtuber, but 3 hours is typical battery life when not turning down brightness and other adjustments.
omen has a far superior screen.
I found your channel yesterday and I gotta say you cover more than other tech reviewers and a answer questions something I really like thank you for the cool content
Awesome! Thank you!
Just got the AMD Ryzen 7 (1660Ti) with the 144hz screen. Its great. In Dave2d's video, he said the screen hinge was loose, but I did not experience that in my model.
Same here. The hinge on my unit was perfect.
@@Josh-pt1yr hey man should I worry about the screen flex?
Have to say, since owning a HP Omen 17 (2016 - (1070/6700hq) and noting how beasty THAT thing was with a top spec 1070, I am not surprised to see really positive reviews on their products starting to shine through.
If I could have got my hands on a top spec Omen 15/17 prior I would have bought the newer model, but this time I couldn't access one here in Aussie!
Lets hope when I upgrade possibly next year they are available.
Please review the amd model too!
I personally LOVE this laptop! It's a sexy beast. I upgraded it to 64gigs of ram and 2TB SSD
64 is overkill
Please do a review of the AMD model. Thank you!
Nice Review, thank you. I especially appreciate you explaining the balance mode as I am in the grey area on whether to go with Intel or AMD. There is currently a great deal on Amazon but with an Intel processor which gave me pause as too high operating CPU temperatures was worrisome to me. Matthew, since you explained the balance mode feature, I know that I can just choose that option and not worry about too high CPU temperatures. Thank you,
I have a couple of questions. Would this be good for taking to class, even with the short battery life? My other question is just how good is the Optane on the SSD?
I really like this format. It seems more like a conversation with us, covering our issues. I would buy but there only seems to be one SKU in the UK. Though I recommended it to my friend in Canada who bought it last month.
Your take on this review is amazing! I like the style that interacts with your audience keep it up!
Is this laptop optimal for music production? Can't find any opinions on this. Are there latency issues that the previous models seemed to have?
Would you pick the HP OMEN 15 over the ACER Predator Helios 300 ? I'm having a hard time picking between the two
If you want a more subtle look (less gamer, good if you’re bringing to school/work) go for this one, but if you want a more gaming look laptop, go for the acer predator. They’re both similar in performance.
Which one has a better build? The omen 15 lid was pretty soft
@@fritolaid6805 ACER has slightly better build than the Omen 15 but in hall honesty the Omen is overall a better spec'd machine for the price. I think both are the same price or right next to each other. The Omen also runs slightly cooler. I mean the ACER Predator is an older model so overall it's expected to be worse than the Omen.
My omen 15 with 16gb ram 1660ti gtx ryzen 7 4800 is great had it for a mth and a half runs like a beast
Aussie Battler how is the fan sound? I watched jarrods tech and he complimented the low temps but said the fans are kinda louder than other AMD laptops
Great video! I get the 10300h+RTX2060 144hz model and only question left is thermals. I mean, what would I lose to switch balanced mode? Like 4-5 fps or more? Also, %10 undervolt will give me under 85°? And finally, any chance 10300h-144hz model gets less hot than 10750h variant? Thanks in advance video was super helpful.
That's the style ... Clearing the questions...
Keep this up Matt 😉
Great video ! its certainly unique and very interesting to watch in this format, Please do a comparision between the AMD model, I heard the 144hz and the 300hz panel are quite different when it comes to colors
For the Omen with the 4800H I read that the fan noise is about 34db in idle mode. Your values with the Intel are much higher.
You don't even hear it unless a game is played in performance mode
Yeah, that seemed way louder than normal. My tuf a15 in balance/performance(mid) mode idles at 2300rpm and then 4800 at full load. Turbo mode can go up to 5500rpm under full load, but I rarely see it go that high.
If the hp omen’s fans go to 5800rpm and it’s always idling at a faster rpm, no wonder it stays cooler.
I've been looking for a laptop for occasional gaming but will, for the most part, be using it for content creation like Adobe illustrator, photoshop, premiere pro. Would you recommend this laptop for that purpose?
Please do compare it with the AMD model 🙏🏽
Yes sir!! Please compare this to the amd model. Which one would i buy? Amd or intel?
Matthew please help me here!
Which of the display outputs are connected to the RTX GPU?
The hdmi out port
hi matthew, great review, however i saw in the video the temperature pushes to 97 deg C which is damaging the internal parts of Laptop, but is that the HP has max temp limits above 100 deg c and so we can get best permonance out of it or its better to play at lower temp?
I had a question, could you tell between lenovo legion 5 and hp omen 15, which is better?
This^
Any answer guys?
I also think about that, which one is better I should buy one and I am not sure. please somebody helppp
Loved your video ;first youtuber according to me who took the general quiries of the people and helped them decide to take the right choice ( congrats you have earned one more subscriber)
Have you had any problems with the charger overheating?
I haven’t had any of those issues, I’ve got the intel i7 10th Gen with the RTX 2060. Haven’t noticed any over heating. If you’re having those issues then maybe some were shipped it with bad chargers 🤷♀️
1:26 that's a good point, however don't try playing demanding games with the lid closed. The temps go much higher, much faster with the lid closed. At least in my experience with the i7 & rtx 3070. It gets hot.
5:05 just how cold is your environment to get that temperature :p
I have the exact same laptop. Super happy with it. Great laptop for games and just to chill in general.
You know you're watching a Mathew Moniz video when the first word of every other sentence is yelled out
Gotta make sure you’re awake!
I have no question ,you have cleared it all . But please create an AMD VS INTEL for this laptop either with rtx 2060 // rtx 2070.
I have the 2020 version and due to reviews like this i bought it and i am super unhappy, the laptops is plagued with issues, like constant bsod crashes, the drivers are not getting updates, bad linux support, before the last bios update the wifi card was always disabled after sleep and you had to restart the computer, also usb c external monitor didn't work, also constant issues with sound. If i could choose i would avoid this brand, they do not give a fuck about regular users, their main business is selling huge quantities to businesses, they do not support customer laptops.
thanks for the comment. what would you have bought instead?
@@wa8d4g8i7 I think lenovo legion 5 pro
The flex is bad not because it will have a bad effect on the screen, but because it will eventually damage the hinge, by applying downward force on it. In fact, if the screen is flexible and spongy enough, it will be good for the hinge.
Please review Dell G5 15 Se (ryzen 5 mod.) Next!!!
Forget the G5 15 Se it gets hot 100 degrees Celsius it is really bad if u want use that for 2 even 1 year
Alireza Temori correct. That’s why I didint get it.
The only reviewer to mention the air flow with the deck lid closed when used in clamshell closed mode.
4:01 arrow keys.
Cons: subpar battery life and it's default ongoing fan that never shuts off completely, unless you go under ~ 10 % CPU and GPU which you can only do if you for example watch a movie/video in VLC/Media player or watch a UA-cam video for a while. But as soon as you start to browse internet, open tons of fans etc the fan comes on automatically which is annoying (even in comfort mode). Also sometimes when I'm not doing anything the fan will start up and go crazy or loud for a few second before shutting down. Fan under heavy load is normal or noisy (IMO). Temperature wise, this machine will stay cool no matter what, but tbh I don't really care for this I just wish it wouldn't be so noisy and be completely silent during light tasks.
Specs: AMD, 144 hz, 16 GB RAM, memory speed: 3200. Wifi 6 (wtf even is this? haven't noticed anything special.)
ewww intel... where is the AMD Ryzen version. intel is no longer exciting, AMD is actually bringing tons of performance to the table.
Charlie Correa Ok I hate this. AMD is amazing but people have to remember that Intel is still in the game. People go see reviews and see that AMD has tons of performance and automatically side with AMD (like this comment). But the Intel i7 1065G7 is from 2019 and compared to the AMD Ryzen 7 4700U from this year has, on average 15% more performance. But the Intel’s single core and dual core speed is still faster. So hypothetically some games will run better on the Intel CPU because it only uses a single core (multithreaded games are hard to code). Although the 4700U shreds in multicore applications, it has 4 more cores. FOUR MORE. 15% increase with 4 MORE CORES. Nonetheless this shows that Intel is still capable and that people should do their research.
@@user-qk8rt9yf9v no one is saying Intel is down and out, but they are an extremely anti- competitive company.
They artificially lock down "features" to get more money out of you. They haven't put a decent cooler on a chip in ages. In order to keep the "GHz" advantage they crank the power to 100 causing people to need to Delid their chips to cool them down properly.
They paid Dell to not use AMD.
They definitely hired a Russian company to put a hit piece on AMD saying their stock should he valued at 0 and that they exposed a vulnerability called "ryzenfall" that someone needed admin access to exploit..
They promised 10nm years ago.
They market their products and say it is better while using a better video card.
Stuff like this is why you shouldn't have pity for intel. Not yet at least. Let AMD and Intel be 50-50 and then we can start feeling sorry for the 10,000 pound gorilla that has stagnated technology to squeeze out more money out of its consumers.
It's like people have Stockholm syndrome with Intel and always defend the hand that slaps them.
@@user-qk8rt9yf9v intel still in the game is nonsense. The 1065G7 is a low powered 10nm chipset that cant even outperform a 4 year old 7700hq. Comparing low powered ultrabook chips to make your point? Lets compare the performance chips, 4800h from AMD and the 10875 h from intel, the 4800h rips it apart in almost everything and equals it on single core loads. Intel might still be capable but they have to prove it, as consumers we need these two to compete obviously but right now, intel hasnt offered jack. Oh, and i wont even get into how some of theyre desktop chips are horrendously expensive
Wooosh If Gay 1065g7 is 4c8t, 4700u is 8c8t without SMT. Based on notebookcheck 4700u has 103% perf single core, 169% multicore cinebench r20 compared to 1065g7. Most important: 1065g7 is more expensive than 4700u and 4700u is not the best AMD cpu. 4800u are the strongest 15w cpu up to now.
Nguyen Dinh Of course it has way more performance in multi core applications it has FOUR MORE CORES. cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i7-1065G7-vs-AMD-Ryzen-7-4700U/m888368vsm1105478 it beats the 1065G7 in only quad core and outa core applications cause who guessed it, it has 4 MORE CORES. But the 1065G7 beats it still in dual core and single core applications. And it was released a year ago.
This is awesome, thanks for the review! One more question: are the speakers any good? My current laptop can only get to around 50%-60% in volume before it starts breaking really badly in quality (I have to use separate speakers).
Heh, finally a review that tells the TRUTH !
nice review congrats , have a question? how longer is the battery? 2 or 5 hours
I like the format. Answers user's questions instead of pointing out flaws that only 0.09% people care about. Please also review the ASUS ZEPHYRUS M15.

I guess we all want an AMD version review and comparison
I've just pre-ordered HP Omen with R7 4800H + RTX 2060. Stuff will come next september i think (as far as i know, this specs available in southeast asian market)
Hello... Really liked your content. I want one suggestion from you. Please help...
Which brand offers better thermals and cooling system among entry-level gaming laptops. Here I am basically considering Dell G3 , HP Omen 15, Asus ROG Strix G series, Asus ROG Zephyrus, Asus TUF A15 & also some lenovo & acer models...
Looking forward to your reply....😀
Great format. I already ordered mine. Can't wait to for it to arrive.
I just purchased the AMD 16gb version. Using the lastest version of corel painter it takes a 40 x 40 inch 300dpi image with multiple layers painted with max sized brushes before it starts showing any noticable lag. And according to steams VR test its VR ready.
Hi thanks for review i just have one question where does it stand against Legion 5, Helios 300 in terms of thermal performance, gaming performance and durability? Which one will you prefer?
Got the AMD ryzen 7 1660ti. Love this laptop. Best out there for the price. Runs games like valorant like butter. COD runs smooth but not at highest settings. Overall great laptop, only complaint so far is I wish the brightness was a little bit brighter, but it’s still very good as it is
great concise review!! loved it but pls something on the response time of your screen?
NOt sure to be honest , I dont have the proper tool to measure it.
Would this be considered good or bad against other RTX 2060 GPUs. Is the 100w in this all that much different between other 90w iterations for performance? I cant really tell.
Which is the better alternative of Omen 15 ?
The Matt Moniz Q&A, I’m digging it. Keep it up!
Hello Matthew, as always thank you for the amazing review. During this time and considering that I want to keep both of my kidneys, which laptop Omen 15 is worth the price?, The AMD or the Intel one?, can you please compare both please. Thank you
Amd with 2060
Hi Matthew, I work with 3d Modelling software. I shortlisted two laptops: Predator 2020 with RTX 2070 and HP Omen 2020 model with RTX 2070. Both have almost same specs. Which one would you suggest to go for?
Hello! Please tell me something..
I'm super confused between the Helios 300 and the HP Omen Ryzen 7 variant. Can you please tell me what would suit me better?
PS- I would be using it for UI/UX design, Video Editing, Photoshop, 3d etc
Thaaaanks!
This laptop jumped onto my radar just now and I’m really impressed by it. Do want to try it out in person because of the squishy screen though.
I bought this laptop after watching this video. Thank you for your effort. HP Omen 15 is great but the fan noice is a novelty to me. This is my first gaming laptop. I hope I can get used to it.
Hey there! I Enjoyed the video. One question though, is the laptop able to run high demanding games such as "Microsoft Flight Sim 2020" With a stable, healthy Framerate?
So as far as noise concerns would the Legion 5 be better? I had heard so many good things about the omen's new thermal solution and I was hoping for a low noise machine that does not feel hot to the touch while gaming (even at the cost of some performance). Also the AMD based Elutroniks RP15/XMG CORE 15 looks like a good option, which of these laptop would you recommend?
Hey Matthew ,
What are your views about HP omen 2021 ryzen model build quality and screen quality I am gonna buy it this month ?
Your opinion can make me change my decision
If possible please make a video on that too a request from a fan😀
we need more videos of this format pls

It's a question of CPU or GPU. Which is more important to you. With Intel RTX 2000 series. With AMD GTX 1660 ti.
I just realised that the version imported to my country, Malaysia has numpad on the keyboard. However, the variant that is available in my country so far by the time this comment is made is only Intel Core i5 + NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650.
Hi. Can you do a Performance comparison between balanced mode and Performance Mode? How many % or FPS (Gameplay) will you loose?
And, of course, with AMD Model would be awesome (or your opinion If the Drop in Balanced Mode would be about the Same with AMD...)
A Ryzen comparison would be fantastic, but do you know if there is a 2060 model on Team Red's side? I heard a rumour one was coming but don't know the details.

The always on fan setting can be toggled off in bios. So the fan will kick in when actually required.
im thankful for your useful reviews
If you can check the Lenovo Legion 7i compared to the HP OMEN it would be excellent, it may be that the Lenovo is above the HP, the chassis looks better the temperatures would have to be compared, the screen, the performance and the battery, great Matthew work
i have the i7 rtx 2060 300 hz version. Laptop runs great, every game is over 120 fps. The issue is the temps. They easily go over 90-95+ degrees on the cpu on games like warzone, overwatch, rainbow six siege and then games like LoL hit around 80 or so. They aren't constantly over 90 but stays around there for awhile. To fix this, download throttlestop and disable turboobost, now my temps don't go past 75%
Great job 💙 Waiting for Helios 300 2020 full review 👀👀
Did you make sure to switch from your dedicated card to the graphics on the APU to extend battery life? With that in mind I've seen battery tests as high as 10 hours
How to make sure which model has switchable graphics? I intend to buy 15-ek0004ne model with intel i7 rtx 2060 and i dont know if it has switchable graphics or not🤔😥
@@shurbagirl I also like to use ThrottleStop and configure my power plan so that my cpu will down clock when on battery power, if you want a guide on how to do this, just email me at damianb32002@gmail.com
@@shurbagirl Personally, I would opt for an AMD model, as they are more power efficient and run at cooler temperatures than Intel chips at the moment, the 8 Core 4800H should also outperform the 6 Core 10750H, which the 10750H if you have it running at max clocks 24/7, will most likely thermal throttle, limiting performance. On paper the 10750H should outperform the Ryzen 7 In terms of gaming, where Single Core clock speeds being more relevant atm than multi core clock speeds, but thermal throttling will let the AMD pull ahead. AMD laptops are also usually cheaper than Intel. I'm still rocking my Mag 15 with a 9750H and 1660Ti, no power or thermal throttling, though it took a lot of tinkering into Throttlestop to fix that, now my CPU runs at the 92nd Percentile (My CPU outperforms all but 8 of the same CPU in different systems) and my GPU at the 98th percentile (outperforms all but 2 of the same card)
I've watched both your reviews for the HP Omen 15 and the Acer Helios 300, but couldn't come to a decisive decision. I'm looking to get either of these with an RTX 2070 and wanted to know which performs better in terms of thermals? The Helios video didn't have stats to compare
