Very well put together video keep up the good work🤙🤙🤙
Thank you so much!
you should do more about the screen that is the brightness of the IPS panel. Any layout will be affected whether high-end or cheap
I showed the brightness turns down evenly which is great. 300 nits is okay for indoor environments. I’m not sure I understood what else you would like me to cover. Please clarify.
@@techknowlux I mean light leak on screen. keep the wallpaper black and turn off all the lights in the room and you'll see it.
@@OnlyMobi1501there is not an LCD in the world that doesn't have light leak.
How would rate the fan noise when under load? Does the keyboard heat up considerably? To the point it's unplayable?
Its noisy but not extraordinaly loud. The 17" provides extra breathing room vs 16" or 15". The Acer are louder due to highe speed fans by design as well as the Razer laptops.
Great video and Very informative…a big thank you …saw this when i was planning to buy one with i9 13900 hx 32 gb 5600 mhz 4090 gpu and 2 tb ssd configuration.
Do you have any idea about upgrading ram to 64 ..is it expandable?
I noticed it’s been 7 months you posted this video , what is your current opinion.
Mainly planning to buy it for editing…if you have any experience in editing using this laptop share that also
@jog_mat I don't know about 64GB RAM. It seems most are topping out at 32GB. Please consult the official specs for your exact model SKU. As for editing, I did some video editing on it using Davinci Resolve. Churns through 4K footage without issue. If you set the Render or Timeline Resolution to Half (1080p) or alternatively use proxy clips editing is a breeze with this machine!
Question
Which of the video ports are connected straight to the 4090 gpu, and which of them go to the intel UHD graphics?
(Info on nvidia physx)
The HDMI 2.1 port. I'm not sure about the USB type-C port. Please consult official specs from HP directly.
HI from France (excuse my bad english)
I just ordered the same omen.
do you have any tips for first use?
(configurations, software, hardware, settings...) to optimize .
THANK YOU and congratulations for your work and your objectivity
So glad you found the video useful. For first tips, I would say look up Windows 11 debloat tool, run it to remove all the MS app store garbage. Also run ShutUp10 to remove all the unnecessary telemetry and tracking. Also use Chris Titus' Windows Tool to quickly install all the apps and launchers that you'll need for gaming as well as daily use. Be sure to read a little bit about all these options or watch a few videos so you don't get stuck having to re-install Windows. Good luck and enjoy!
I heard that u can't undervolt, is that true
Nice videos on this thing, got one of these things to replace an aging desktop. crazy that laptops have reached a place that you can be somewhat within striking distance of desktop value in terms of performance.
I agree 100%. I would not have dreamed of doing some of the stuff that you can do now with a laptop. I've been using laptops for 20 years and this is the most exciting time ever to be a laptop buyer/user/owner.
@@techknowlux Leaps in storage alone are especially ridiculous, SSD's were clearly going to kill HDD's for consumers but nvme rendered 2.5" redundant. Just ridiculous price to storage ratio nowadays. A 240gb SSD 10 years ago cost the same as a 4tb nvme now. Obviously, space usage (any game install) is also way up but lol at laptops having an easy 4tb.
Cheers for the review!
@GLENC0C0 Thank you so much.
I just got the Omen 17 ck2059nr and notice alot of stutter in games. The frames are there but just not as smooth as the games should play. I set the power to performance and watched many videos for the Nvidia control panel and nothing seems to get it right. Any suggestions?
@ajstyles4033 Try to uninstall-reinstall the GPU drives, then Windows, then call HP support. If not, exchange it for another model. If that doesn't fix it, return the laptop. This shouldn't really be happening. In the dozen of laptops I've tested this really isn't an issue with 13th or 14th gen laptops and NVIDIA GPUs from 2023/2024.
Hi , what is the TGP of the 4090 ? 175w ?
165W
Hi, is the power delivery working for you? I tried it with a 130W adapter and it charges the battery only when pc is turned off but when turned on it just uses the battery.
It's pretty annoying as on website it says that it should work on a 100W adapter.. I tried contacting HP but I have not yet received a reply, in case my laptop is defective or not
@MattGadi That is very odd. Did you try looking in the BIOS to see if there is some charge setting that might affect this? And have you tried a different adapter? Perhaps try 100W. HP has a feature called Sleep and Charge. Might want to look into the settings around this. Also from the specs since there's no mention of 130 or 140W. I mentioned in my video as well that USB type-C charging is only 100W. Just other things to keep in mind.
@@techknowlux ahh yes, you are right. I bought a 100W general charger, compatible with PD 3.0 and it's working fine, it charges the battery and keeps the laptop on in eco mode 👍.
Weird thing is that I tried with an HP docking station and it didn't work, but as long as it works with the charger it's great. It's way better for mobility
I've got this machine, but it's an intel i9 13900HX and it comes with 32GB of ram, does anyone know if it can be upgraded to 64GB as i can't find any information anywhere online or in manuels and HP say 2 different things. Or if there is a way to findout in the laptop itself?
@reece1642 The HP specs and website are a mess. I couldn't find that info either. One way is to buy the 64GB kit and try it. I believe the i9-13900HX can address up to 64GB of RAM.
i own a 3060 Omen 17 6gb . It still handles everything well. i can play Hogwarts on Ultra without RT on. I will upgrade next year , I have a feeling these laptops are getting a refresh.
I just saw something in the news the other day or rumor mill that the RTX 5000 series might get a bump up and be coming sooner than expected and that the RTX 4000 Super or refresh might be cancelled. But take the rumor mill with a huge grain of salt. Until things are announced and on actual store shelves to be purchased, I don't put too much faith in these things. I'm assuming that you're playing mainly at 1080p on the 3060 right? If you don't mind using DLSS, it can deliver some pretty good results or even tweaking the settings a bit. I still don't find ray tracing to give some transformative experience in any game really.
Are the hinges strong? Do you have any complaints about your laptop?
Hi I will use laptop for programming and for 4k gaming (with external monitor). I want to sold my pc (Ryzen 9 5900x+rtx 4070ti) and buy laptop. Can you suggest what is better laptop in games: this one or Lenovo 7i pro (with rtx 4090)
@Artsimful They're both very good for rtx 4090 and what you want to do. Pick whichever one you like more or is cheaper.
@@techknowlux From your videos, I got the feeling that Lenovo stutters when working with an additional monitor compared to HP, is this true or did it just seem to me?
Bought one of these the other day. Except mine has the 1440p with 165hz refresh rate and a 720p webcam. Got it for 2799 USD at Microcenter.
I saw this one too on Microcenter, any issue right now?
@@wongandy936 nope, everything runs fine. I did have to adjust a few things to make everything run smooth but it was simple
Is it possible to charge the laptop with type-c 100w?
Yes you can!
Make that macro key to input esc key. Fixed😂
Smart! I'm not sure how many people actually use the macro keys on any laptop let alone this one with a column to the immediate left of the qwerty layout though.
Only some models have animation rgb effects?
If you have the 4090 model it should have the full range of rgb options. The Omen 17 doesn't have any lower models/options for keyboard/rgb as fae as I know.
@@techknowlux i have the model with i7, rtx 4090. 32ddr5 and 240hz, yet i dont have full rgb option
I passed it due to the keyboard... it's a huge laptop, 17", no numerical pad???
It's preference. I liked the TLK layout but the mechanical keys are too mushy.
It costs as much as a Kia hatchback
Cars have gotten pretty expensive in the past years too but I get the sarcasm. Well played. Lol.
Hahaha
This model is currently on sale here in Aus for 3500 AUD (2200 USD) tempting
@j.a6778 2200 USD equivalent for a 4090 equipped laptop is a pretty sweet deal. What's holding you back?
@@techknowlux it is indeed but i just bought a Zephyrus 4060 for a good deal as well. Though, im losing sleep on this Omen LOL. Nice thorough review btw
Excellent Experience. I ordered this beast machine during prebooking time on 1st March 2023 and got on 15th April 2023 with free gifts like HyperX Headphone, HyperX Microphone, HyperX Mouse, HyperX Mouse Pad and Steam Recharge of Rs 1000 with 10K Additional discount and 8K HDFC Credit Card discount at price of 2.52 Lakhs.
Nice. Sounds like you're setup for streaming. The HyperX are actually very good accessories to receive as a gift. Not as good as some of the more premium Logitech or Corsair peripherals, but still very good. And free gift is free gift.
@@techknowlux Exactly. Editing, Gaming, Rendering, 3-D Modelling and Streaming are main area of concern. These free HyperX Accessories cost around 23K.
Where did you purchased my freind, tell me am in India Hyderabad
I managed to buy this at 3100 cad$ in Australia [3600aud$]. I think somebody is going to get fired lol.
Oof. How did you swing that? Great deal.
@@techknowlux Umm also only difference in the one i bought was just it's an i713700hx instead of i9, everything else is same.
@@techknowlux just got the configuration with i7 13700hx and 1tb ssd - everything else is the same (32gb ram and rtx 4090) for about 2625$ (US dollars) and a printer worth about 250$ (US dollars) as a gift from HP. I know it's a great deal - or is it?
Not offered in the U.S? It's been on the U.S market for months and it sells as the most budget friendly 4090 laptop $2.1K for i7/4090 and $2.6K i9/4090 so I'm not 100% on your video at all.
HP websites and HP store are a mess overall. They're just a shadow of the PC manufacturer that they used to be. I'm not surprised at all. I did check both US and Canada sites before compiling this video. So I'm a little surprised that I missed this.
2100 for i7 and 4090? Haven't seen that one.
@@Jtwizzle slickdeals it with cash back and mil/student/Frontline discount peeps we're getting it at that price. Of course that was before now it's at 2360 for the i7 4090 and 2500 for the i9 4090. Just got the I9 4090 a couple days ago 2645 with tax and I'm fkn loving this laptop!
I normally use my 4090 at 250W tdp but I bet if I lowered it to 175W, mine would perform way way better, not just slightly better. That's because they put less cores in it and still called it 4090. The greedy fucks.
Yes the trickery and marketing to cover it up is insane. It should be called the 4070M, not the 4090 mobile laptop GPU.
@@techknowlux Hopefully next series of gpus will bring something decent to the table. If not Nvidia then Amd will for sure. Laptop gaming still suffers because of these cheap issues.
Honestly you should show the laptop in the video no your face just my 2 cents
I appreciate the feedback. It's really hard though without having a camera crew or lots of cameras and angles as that significantly increases the production time. I'm focusing more on view of the product and much more interesting b-roll. Slowly but steady improvement.
