- Опубліковано 14 жов 2024
- The 2018 HP Omen is the best gaming laptop they've made in a few years. Starting at $800 this thin-bezeled laptop is worth checking out.

With 8th gen 6-core CPUs and GTX 1060 on tap, the new HP Omen delivers a surprisingly good value in the mid-tier gaming laptop market. The 144 Hz screen brings a smooth gaming experience to the laptop without being super expensive.

The 2018 model is the first HP OMEN gaming laptop i’ve recommended in a couple years. Glad to see HP making some good moves. Thanks for watching!
Dave Lee your awesome thank you so much
Can you put links to your wallpapers you have in the background?
Me?
this 2018 omen vs ROG what would you recommend
Michael me?
Awesome laptop, but I really wish the designers behind gaming laptops would just abandon the edgy black and red gamer look. It's so tacky.
Edit: Damn those likes tho lol
Radcheet agreed but atleat it’s not as bad as the Helios 300 which is the only thing stopping me from buying it 😂
Check dell g3 its blu and Black..
Kira Duwang Yoshikage i dont like It because too much gamer look like.. but g3 u can bring everywhere
Kaan Ekinci #overheatinglaptop
Keep Out not if u know how to use 😅 i never go over 72 degrees.. even under sintetich load.. so if u dont have or dont know how to configure... Dont base over comments... I even overclocked GPU and undervolted like 0.250mv.. and 0 throttling
The bezels on this thing put the Helios to shame
agree
Agree
60 hz to 144hz. I'll take my helios
who the fuck cares about bezels?
Helios gets hot and it's so ugly lmaooo
Just bought this bad boy thanks to your review, it really helped pointing me in the right direction of what I needed. Thanks!

I mean if you want a laptop that looks like a spaceship...
Fine by me.
I was always a big fan of starwars.
alienware for that mate
LegionNate says the Master Chief Fanboy
yeah Alienware looks amazing if you're into this kind of look
I've had this laptop for around 20 days now (i7 8750H, GTX 1070, 16GB RAM) and I agree with everything Dave said, just a couple of my own notes:
- Without undervolting, the keyboard surface got REALLY hot during a heavy gaming session (2 hours of Doom 2016), my WASD fingers actually felt like they'd been burnt afterwards, it was VERY uncomfortable, and the right side of the keyboard is a lot worse, I couldn't hold my fingers on the right side for ANY length of time... after undervolting, it's better, but still not great... YMMV with this, maybe I have thin skin :)
- I have a European (Norway) model of this and I don't have the individual keyboard lighting zones, it's just all red, with no option to change this in the OMEN app
- At 2.4kg, it's noticeably heavier than some of its competitors, but it makes up for that with the price
- There's no Intel GPU or Optimus on this laptop, it runs the NVIDIA GPU all of the time, which explains the poorer battery life, but this also has consequences for Linux users, etc
All in all, it's a great laptop, especially for the price. I have to undervolt and disable turbo-boost on the CPU to get the temperatures to a comfortable level, but after that, I'm happy with it. :)
Thanks for the detailed review..
Hey , thanks for the your review man! I appreciate it, as I am looking to buy this specific model (GTX1070) in the UK. I would like to ask you a few question if possible for this model:
1) How loud are the fans (i.e. if someone is sleeping near me would it annoy them?) and is performance affected by the temperature?
2) Is the GTX 1070 any good? I've found a lot of great laptops with a GTX 1060 but I don't know how much better the GTX 1070 is and if it's worth getting... (Personally the most demanding game I'll play is the Shadow of the Tomb Raider)
3) How long does battery last for on average? And are there any ways you could increase the battery life?
I am currently considering this laptop and a custom built PC Specialist Recoil II which has a GTX1060. My main priority is the graphics card and the screen to be good (battery life anything above 3.5-4 hours I am fine).
Thanks in advance!
How do you lower the temperature i no u said it but i really need full description thanks
Hey, no worries dude!
1) In the Omen control panel, there are two power profiles you can choose from, Default and Performance, the first has a quieter fan profile, while the latter is louder. Default is pretty loud, but if they're a heavy sleeper, you might just about get away with it, especially on less demanding games. I would say Performance is a no-go, the fans get very loud.
2) At 1080p resolution, the GTX 1070 is actually probably a little overkill for all (95-99% at least?) AAA titles out today, and that will probably come out for a while. I played a few very demanding games and they were smooth as butter, throw G-SYNC into the mix and you can't go wrong with this laptop for gaming on even the most demanding titles. :)
3) I was getting around 3.5-4.5hrs while idling/browsing around in Windows. You can undervolt the CPU, lower the brightness, use power saving settings in Windows to get a little more, but with this laptop not having an Intel iGPU, it's having to run the dedicated GPU all time, which really kills the battery.
If you do get this laptop, I'd recommend you look into undervolting and maybe disabling Turbo Boost using ThrottleStop, that will help with your battery life and fan noise.
I've had PC Specialist laptops before, also, they're very good. There are pros and cons between the two. You'd probably get better support with PCS for example, but the build quality on the HP is top notch.
Hope that helps!
Hey, I'd recommend you download and play around with the ThrottleStop. Use it to undervolt the CPU and disable Turbo Boost if you don't need it (for games/workloads that aren't CPU-bound). There are other people who also apply new thermal paste to their laptop, I was never brave enough to do this, as it's a lot of work and something could always go wrong. :)
The less pixels your GPU needs to push, the less heat it's going to generate too, so you could also lower your graphics quality and play around with settings in the Nvidia Control Panel. There are tonnes of guides on Google for this.
I purchased this a few weeks ago from Microcenter for $999.
My specs:
15.6" model, CPU: i7-8750H, GPU: GTX1060, 16GB of RAM(upgradable to 32GB), 60Hz panel, 1TB HDD & 256GB SSD
Pros:
1. Powerful enough to play pretty much any game you want for extended periods of time
2. Very fast loading times
3. Plenty of storage and able to upgrade
4. The thin bezels are a really nice feature even though its a 60Hz panel
5. Plenty of ports and good locations
Cons:
1. CPU & GPU did get hot playing BO4 after awhile, however, once i undervolted they stayed between 75C-82C
2. Fingerprints do show
3. Screen brightness is a little dim but not a deal breaker
4. Fans are slightly audible under no load (i normally always have headphones/headset on so this doesn't bother me but i know some people care)
Overall thoughts:
Really happy with this purchase and there is not much to complain about. Most of the cons are little details or have other solutions to fix them. If you are looking for a laptop around this price range, the HP Omen is providing a lot for this price. Highly recommend.
Marko1018 so do you mean when using your browser, than fan turns on?

Same, I got the same thing from micro-center. $999 about 2 years ago
I got my Omen A day ago that's insane. This is my first gaming laptop too. Keep up the good work my dude.
1:04 is it harmful for screen view? Can it damage monitor?
Got the 1070gtx Version with 12gb. Love it. Fast startup and so on but it's getting very loud while playing modern games. Very very loud.
Hi Dave! Congrats for the amazing channel (that I discovered only now).
I have a little question: would you recommend this (i-5, gtx1050) over the Acer Nitro 5 (gtx 1050ti)? This thing costs 850 euros in Italy which is a remarkable price here, for its category
Hi Dave,
Could you please review the 2019 model with the RTX 2080 plzzzz :D
Thank you for this great video !
Can you review the 2019 model with the RTX 2060?
Vipul Kulshreshtha I just bought it and its great 👍
mrsun9775 are the temps still bad
SP_00_N Z with 8gb had some freezing moments playing Guild Wars 2 on ultra settings. After upgrade to 32gb and a 15$ stand with 2 fans this laptop is a beast! Im very happy with !
Plz dave review It
@@ryze8032 Hello i want buy but the temps is really bad? If it is i don't buy, i can buy other pc
thanks for the review bro, i just ordered a 15 inch one with a 1070 Max Q for game dev, super pumped!
Every time dave reviews a laptop I look forward to watch cause dave is the best in reviewing laptops! Respect from a fan who has years already watching dave and laptops together...
Thanks a lot Dave Lee, because of this review and the latests about RTX... i just bought this HP Omen 15 with GTX 1070 at the good price !
Stéphane Jacquemin how’s it holding up? Heating issues? Is the screen still dim?
@@korrze hi! I had some little heating issue and i managed that with an undervolting with intel XTU and thermal paste replacement, i'm not a tech guy and with some video and time, i've done it. I also use a Cooler Master NotePalU2 Plus all the time. I don't see any issues with the screen, i use an external screen most of time. I mainly use this laptop for 3D softwares and make some rendering and sometimes gaming with call of duty black ops 4. It's a low cost 3D workstation replacement for me because i didn't have bigger budget, and i don't regret to bought it. Gaming and rendering are the most heatest tasks and even if the CPU go to 90°C, gaming machine are made to support that and like i said it's not my main using with his machine. Sorry for the delay of this answer, and i hope it can help.
Your videos quality are just amazing 👌🏾
Dave please do a review on the 2019 version with the 1660 ti
Your vods are great. Always as quick as possible without cutting out information.
I bought this laptop last week. I cannot wait to get it. Play my games on it. I saw so many good reviews on it. I got the omen 15 2060. I will upgrade more in the future. I'm so glad you can build up. I'm gonna make this laptop into a monster
Any updates on thermals? I've seen many review saying that it always get hot.
@@Diyosh My laptop is still in transit to me. It should be here sometime today. I heard it gets a little hot. But I got a cooling pad and also upgraded the fans inside it. Gets about 60 -70 from what I saw. I will find out tonight.
Let's talk about keyboard lighting.
Would you rather have
single color LEDs but each key is individually lit
OR
Zoned RGB lighting
personally don't care about lighting methods, but care more about colour options
I personally would rather have white or blue individually lit keys over even the good RGB like Razer chroma cause if I got a full RGB keyboard I'd just change it to white anyway and I'd only light the keys I use in the games I play
doesnt matter because its off all the time anyway...using external keyboard.
Zone. Gotta have that RGB.
The first one
Too much choice 😂😂😂
Dell G7
HP Omen
Asus ROG GL503GE
MSI GL63
Acer Predator 300
HP Pavilion Gaming
Lenovo Y series
What should i pickkkk???
I think g7 is the most well rounded one tbh
don't know...since the 5400rpm, max q graphic card, and the build (too much plastic)...my first choice is the omen, but living in Italy, it's quite impossible to find it with the gtx1060 under 1700 euros (2000$)...the 1070 one costs 2200 euros (2600$)...i hate italy
the 1070 is available for $1391 right now
Ufo Campe yea same its so sad
Omen for 144hz Ips Display (lowest model 8750h+1050ti)
That mouse looks a lot like the master race G502
yeah but i would buy the G402 Hyperion tho :D
yeah, what a shameful rip off, at first i thought he was about to recommend the logitech g502... then i had him mention HP i was like what?!!
Exactly how are they the same again? Look rather different to me. But I'd still want to know what you see here.
What i REALLY like about you're videos is that they're straight forward and only got as much information as they need. A small laptop review in about 5 minutes? Where else on UA-cam?
1:28 love this section of every video, you make it so well and smooth, you draw that yourself?
I just want a powerful laptop with normal looks but not Razer 🔥🔥🔥

I have 2017 Omen 15, 7700HQ 1060 max-q. Cooling is sufficient that gives me 3.4 to 3,5 ghz clock all the time, gpu boosts to 1640 mhz, no throttle. I learned to like THICC bezzels, but bigger chasy gives better keyboard layout imo. Don't regret buying mine over this in any way.
KurekJapanac i got the one with the rx580 8gb, and with a decent cooling mat it never throttle
I also have the 2017 model and the thermal is good, it never throttle and the clock speed stays around 3.5 GHz even when rendering 3d animation for hours
I once left Black Desert Online on and left laptop, and my girlfrend covered closed laptop with 2 blankets accidentaly with BDO still runnin, and when I found out, I went to check the speeds and it was still running 3.4 ghz flat.
I think when he was taking about the 2017 model overheating, it was the early model, not the one similar to this one
Makes sense.
Im angry. Notebook costs 1600 € here in Germany 😡 It would be cheaper to buy it in the American US Store und get it shipped to Germany ...
LiterallyMyself MY US website. $50 US to jave it shipped to anywhere
Isn't there an online shopping tax?
Same here, there are such big price differences,so much more expensive
Kauf es dir doch bei Amazon.com und lass es nach Deutschland liefern.
@@marijose6694 200€+ versandkosten. Bei mediamarkt hab ich's für 1300€,was auch teuer ist,aber immernoch einigermaßen geht.
Those animations are great Dave, that kinda work you put on your videos really makes your channel one of the best tech channels on UA-cam
I love mine! I got the DC0010NR base model (i5 8300H, 12GB, 1TB+128GB, and the 1050TI). And the main reason why I opted for this model is because of battery life (up to 9- 10 hours max) which is mindblowing (for a gaming laptop that is)
EDIT- Decided to instead get the DC0030NR model with the i7 8750H, 16GB, and 1060 (no 144Hz screen tho :( )
Hey Dave hasn't hp sent you their new 2019 9th gen omen? Pls review it
yes Review it
HP Omen didnt change much in terms of hardware, so less likely
@@FableBlaze i have watched the video about that laptop and the heat issue has been fixed for sure...believe me it works..
@@FableBlaze oh..really..glad to hear that...i plan to buy hp omen 15 2019 i7 9750h and rtx 2060..

Can we expect back to school laptops video in near future?
No one is paying attention to the new Dell Inspiron 15 7570, I'm buying it. This model comes with an 8th Gen core i5 (8250u) and 8 GB if RAM, 256Gb SSD, IPS Full HD screen resolution, aluminum body, decent battery life (around 5 hours) and last but not least, a decent graphic card Nvidia MX130, all that for $699. Another version of the laptop comes with an upgraded graphic card, the MX150 which is overall 25% better than the MX130. This one will cost $800. At this point I guess I'm better with the cheaper version, since I don't want a gaming laptop.
only if you put me back to school (age) waaaaaaa 29yrs... :(
get any laptop with at least mx150
Bryan Mario Go for the Acer e15, same specs for less.
Thank you so much! I was seeing if this computer was good, and you helped me see that it's pretty good. I'm going to buy this now.
1:04 is it harmful for screen view? Can it damage monitor?

do you run? i’ve seen a couple of vids with you in a nike cross nationals shirt and i’m curious
Hi dave ! luv your review and your mania for white and blue, but could you help me with this, you are my last resort to sort this out.
i intend to buy an HP omen 17; but it indeed everysingle who own this scream to dead with this little hot beast. i jumped on many forums and do searchung, it seems like vacuum fan might be the case for this; but HP omen have no rear vent, instead, at its back with its unique design.
Can you help me out with this what vacuum fan is suitable for HP omen 17 ??? this would be the most important thing to make this gaming beast complete. cheers !
You ain't getting a gaming laptop with a 8th gen chip that runs cool.
And secondly just undervolt your lappy to run it lil cooler
I have an ultra HD 4K, 17.3 inch Omen, GTX 1070, 16GB RAM, i7, etc. Got it last year & still very happy w/ it. This one looks awesome, too!
i was only waiting for your review to buy this LAPTOP!!! Thanks for the great videos Dave. Regards from Mexico.
Watching this on a HP Omen 15
Your reviews??
ElPistolero50 Ik you were asking to him but I am going to share my opinion. So it has a nice screen,7200rpm hdd 2200reading p/s.
Nice thermals, I am using gtx 1050 version.My i5 8300h scored 2060cb on cinebench r20. Fans are a little bad tho.
I have it too and the screen isn't that bright and fans REALLY loud. If no it is P-E-R-F-E-C-T
Did you do the benchmark tests with the 1060 max-Q and 8GB RAM?
Pughhead 8gb of ram?!Thats gross......
Pughhead it’s 12 gb
Can you review the 2019 model with the RTX 2060
@Emanuel Sirbu But I heard that it gets hot when playing heavy games ?! (I.very worried😟 )
Funny fact. We have this at my job. I'd been eyeing it for weeks. And we just started layaway. I put it on layaway. I travel 4 to 5 times a year. And while it's only for a couple of days each time, I'd love to do some gaming while i'm out and about. I'm so glad to have found it and you're advice just clinched it for me
I've been waiting for your review on this laptop since it came out. I like your point of views !
1:04 is it harmful for screen view? Can it damage monitor?
i wanted to change the keyboard back lighting from all red but it wasn't in the omen command center
That is because you can't change it. It is the same for me. The backlight key is only red
Yes, I know. I am from norway and my model only got a red backlight keyboard. There is a second model like in the video where you can change colour.
This is the annoying part about the HPs. You have to keep this in mind if you want an RGB k/b - ASK the sales reps (and they sometimes don't know). I returned an HP because it was only RED backlit (or off). Supposedly this is the 15" with RGB - store.hp.com/us/en/pdp/omen-laptop-15t-5tr05av-1 , but i am still not sure! Microsoft sells a 17" Omen that has an RGB k/b.
@@qfluxer thanks I'll know next time
Prasath Ahilan wierd. Im european too (Portugal). Got the 15.6’ ( i5, 1050ti) abd the keyboard is RGB. Tbh i was expecting it to be all red but thank god it isn’t
So the 144hz screen is only available for the 17inch model? I dont see a 15inch with 144hz on amazon..
Aaron Joshua Fernandez it's there.. btw this model that Dave is reviewing is a 15 inch model
amazon is currently selling the 15 inch model at a pretty good price
No, i have the 144hz 15’ model
I have the 15 inch model with 144hz G-sync screen...bought from hp store
I have the late 2017 model and its really good only thing I dont like is the screen like it's bad and I feel uncomfortable using it for long hours
Yami Odymel yeah I know that
i have i too and the worst part is the thermals.. its SO BAD. gets to 65C on browsing
Joy Ride no mine doesnt have any thermal problem it's just perfect like even if I use my laptop for a long stretch of time it still doesnt heat up
If Your warranty is gone you could buy a replacement screen and change it at home, I know for some other laptops you can get a 1080p IPS with 144hz for less then 200$(some less then a 100$, but for cheep laptops in mass usually)
I have the 2017 model and haven't got any problems or major complaints. Sure the outer frame could be higher quality but if taken care of nicely and carefully it's a very good laptop for its price.
Thank you sooo much I was thinking of buy it but no good people were reviewing it
Could we please get a review of the matebook x pro! I want to hear Dave's thoughts before I buy!
Hi everyone!
Can someone please tell me if the HP omen 15 i7-9.. gtx 1660 ti version has the same issues ?
Thank you!
Will you do a review on 2019 model?
I have had one of these things for about a month now, and overall this laptop is amazing! The only slight complaint I have outside the trackpad is that the screen does suffer from slight burn in if you leave it in one position for like ten minutes. However it does go away with time.
Overall though, this product is amazing! I highly recommend it and everything Dave said is in fact, true.
Thank you for your review. I think this would be a nice gaming laptop for my little sister and its on sale right now. Thanks again!
can you do a hp pavilion 15 gaming but the new one?
Dell g7 or this laptop? I'm in college and I need a laptop but wanted one that could also game.
I went for the white g7 for the subdued looks and reliability. They are about the same price and for similar specs.
It depends on the price and if you don't care about the design then you have two choices: Helios 300 (2018) or HP OMEN (2018). The OMEN with 144hz screen is ~200$ more expensive than the Helios.
For the looks go for the G7, for price to performance go for the Helios 300, and if you have the money go for the OMEN with 144hz screen.
Bruh, you and I are the same person. I was also asking this
Lenovo legion y530 is also a good choice
Dell g series screens are absolute ass
Whereas this laptop uses the same panel found in aero 15x
So no contest man go for hp omen 15 2018
Thumbnail looks goood....
Congratulations for 1.5M subs!!!
Been waiting for this review since it was announced in May! Awesome video....gonna buy it soon on Micro Center for $1000
Can u pls do a review on hp pavilion gaming
can you do best gaming laptop under $1200 for 2018?
Agreed, I think my Personal list is:
1. HP Omen 2018
2. Dell G7
3. Helios 300
4. Lenovo Legion Y530
xJustMiax what about Y720??
Acer helios 300 has more bang for the buck... So it should be no 1
Itay IL it's last year laptop with 7th gen i7
Vishnu Adithya what’s the difference, isn’t the specs better though for the price it costs?
We all know that Razor products and customer support are shit. But would you still recommend the Razor Blade 15 over any laptop?
I really like your channel, as someone from Africa... East Africa to be exact, I appreciate the work ethic and what you deliver, definitely on my list of UA-camrs to meet some day!
This is a really good deal for a budget gaming laptop (Based on past year of research)! - I am actually going to get it.
should i get the omen x 144hz or the predator helios 300 144hz option which one.
or any other laptops in the 1000 to 1400 area please give me a suggestion
TheUniqueMine hp omen is 5x better than acer predator 300 i have both,, my games runs smoothly in hp omen and the screen in hp omen is amazing
how is the heating though is it worse or better be honest
TheUniqueMine dont buy helios in all aspect hp omen is better,, i hate helios cause its lag in my games
mohyi M believe it or not i hVe helios 300 before but now i decided to sell my helios 300 cause of lag problem and now i have the hp omen really much better i swear
mohyi M Omen is better way better
This is damn cheap for what we are getting

Nice video
But when is the OMEN X Laptop review coming?
Been waiting for this a while, Great to hear that u recommend it.. Was worried about the thermals , glad to hear that they managed it ina a efficieng way. Always loved your reviews . Your awesome man . 👍🏻
Doesn't this spec up all the way to a Max q 1070?
Not a max q 1070 but a regular 1070 and it does cost 1800 USD on Amazon
I think it varies among places
Do a hp omen vs Helios 300
not in the UK
@@mohyim0280 They're both the same price for me, so HP Omen.
helios 300 has terrible battery life compared to omen if u want it for other than gaming
Open has 144hz screen
Do a gaming laptop give away
Great videos man. I appreciate your attention to detail. I've noticed you even match your t-shirt to your desktop picture in the background to have a consistent color scheme. Thank you for the great content.
Got this one 4 days back, a few points to share with people looking for user reviews in the comments:
- 144hz GTX 1070 MaxQ model, it is a beast in a small package with those specs and has GSYNC support.
- IPS panel is brighter compared to a few laptops my friends have, probably the same panel as on the Aero 15X.
- Footprint is very less compared to other 15' models, the vents at the back are intrusive and big for smaller backpacks, would recommend going for HP's own armored backpack .
- Design is catchy and gamer-y, but I don't mind that, does look like a spaceship.
- Tested GTA 5 and PUBG at ultra, managed to get over 90 fps, FIFA and CS:GO do justice to the 144hz panel.
- Temperatures are a mess while gaming, it constantly runs at 85+ °C, the fans run so fast and loud, the laptop will just take off any moment.
- Although completely different story at idle, CPU holds at 37-42°C, runs silent af.
- Pretty decent battery life so far, 3-4 hrs on fill charge(no gaming).
Guys, who can help me to decide. Wanted to get a Gs65 for playing dota and some video editing. But with the new nvidia Turing cards is it worth to wait a bit and get a new laptop with new generation chip? What do you think?
From the rumors that I've seen, it doesn't look like this new generation will be that much better than the current generation, but these are just rumors. If I were you, I would wait until the cards are released, see the performance difference and the price difference and then make my decision from there.
Nishanth Lam in January
1060 is overkill to play dota 1080p at the moment so i think even if u buy gs65 now it's fine
FORMOSTV RECODE 144 hz screen - 65 fps in dota at Ultra is overkill?
well dota on laptop capped around 110-120fps (80-90fps at fights) with the 1060 not utilized 100% (80is percent only) means it's cpu bound if u already got 1060 laptop

So if I always love your videos do I keep subbing a unsubbing I don't know what to do 🤣
Holy smokes, Dave, how do you make those amazing animations? Your video seem to be made by a professional studio.
Thank you so much Dave I've been hoping like MAD that you do a review on it as I really wanted your wise review on it. Thank you so much once again.
Asus TUF Fx504
Did u buy it
First
I got this laptop with gtx 1070 ....its a awsome laptop....for gaming, content creation and mainly for modelling and analysis software.....
Now we are talking. Thx a lot for the review I was really interested in buying this laptop.
Watching on my new hp omen 15 2018. The laptop looks amazing. Performance is top notch. I am in love with it :-)
1:04 is it harmful for screen view? Can it damage monitor?
Thank you for doing this review, you're the BEST!!!!!!
I just got the one from Microcenter with an open box deal for less than $1000 including tax. Honestly, there's no complain for what you can get with this price even though it's a bit over heat. Maybe that's because I haven't got the BIOS updated. Hopefully this issue will be better after updating. Beside that, everything seems to be perfect. By the way, thanks for the awesome video dude, as always!
Watching this on my 15 inch HP Omen (2018) and all I can say that it's really a bang for your buck. Also, it is on sale in Micro Center for $999 and you get a 1TB HDD, 256GB SSD, i7-8750h, and a GTX 1060 (not Max-Q)!
I purchased an Omen a few days ago. There are 3 main things I dislike about it so far.
- Overheating easily, both the GPU and CPU reached in the mid 90's C while gaming (I'm not a huge gamer, just as well)
- The trackpad does not get all your movements and creates a bit of frustration especial with scrolling up and down
- The volume doesn't go loud enough, i can barely hear a movie on the loudest setting
I am just checking your update on this laptop, amazing.
I've got the 15" 2018 omen with the 8750H, 16gb ram, 1070 8gb & 144hz screen, £1599 from the UK perfect price for a very capable laptop.
how about heating issues with your model?
For anyone interested in this laptop I own the 2017 17.3” model with the i7 7700 and RX 580 8gb and I have no complaints with it so far, in three months I would have owned it for a year and all I can say its a quality product
Kinda validated my purchase both for the laptop and the mouse. Thanks dave!
Thanks for the consistently high quality videos and reviews Dave ! Full time youtube legend !
In 2018 I got this exact one for my birthday. Has been keeping up really well. However, my keyboard looks slightly different but the same specs.

As an owner of this lovely laptop, I agree 100% with your review. This thing is really worth the money with all-rounder capability but yes, it runs a little hot and battery life is average. Other than that, good internals, easy access to the components (switched the 128 GB M2SSD with Samsung 970 Evo M2SSD 512 GB), 144 Hz screen, RGB Keyboard, speakers, design, etc. best bang for the buck at least in the Indian market.
Man after seeing a title on a video like that on Dave's channel, you know it's gonna be good.
Hello Dave! One more great video from you, and well you are one of the reasons that i bought this laptop! I have one question that you could may help me, do you know if I could use liquid metal thermal paste in this laptop in order to have better thermals? Thanks in advance and keep making great videos for us!
Thanks Dave for the insights. I’ll be buying this laptop next week.
Siddharth Shah it doesn’t have a 144hz display though :/
Short and Nice review as always
