Josh isn't a reviewer but he is actually a vlogger vlogging his seemingly endless journey to find the best laptop at every category for every use cas- with love from walter
yep once it goes over 1500 bucks no one really considers it after that... tje most viewed will be the 1000 bucks review videos cuz everyone wants a gaming lappy under 1k
Woot! I bought this as well! After almost half a year of searching. I feel like it had the best compromise between design, build quality, performance, thermals and the screen
I think I've never seen you this excited Josh, and I subscribed when you were just starting :D Keep it up! As a programmer and gamer myself, and a freak for silent computers, your videos speak to me like no other in UA-cam. I thank the day you decided to start sharing your journey will all of us!
Hey Josh, Im so happy to hear i made the right decision buying this laptop. This Omen has being doing wonders for me, As well as you I also ended up buying the 16 ram 1 tb model but with student deals combined with best buy deals, I payed a whopping $1049 + tax, which was so worth it considering my budget as a college student. Im so happy i came across this computer at the perfect time!! I really enjoyed the video and Im happy to hear your channel is growing with your hard work keep it up!
Jose Murillo Great! Super cool temps and love the CPU horsepower. Wish it came with an rtx 2060 like the others but you really can’t beat the overall package for the sale price! It’s been super slick for school too 👌
I just subscribed! You literally hit every spot, every spec I was considering as a consumer. I've been going back and forth between spending the extra $ on an RTX gpu. Seeing your performance metrics and touching on the cooling aspect along side other intel models really did it for me. I just got the exact same model. Me and my wallet thank you!
Gotta say it. Your videos are so easy on the eye and ears. Informative without any bloat. Covers all the crucial aspects of a typical user. Kudos Josh. Keep em coming!
Great video. I like it when data is presented within a little story! I recently bought an HP Spectre, and i can relate to great quality and performance! Thumbs up!
Thank you for posting the "Underside of Chassis" temperatures! Half the time I use my "lap"top on my "lap" and it ticks me off when a reviewer never mentions this key detail.
@@Shrek-sg3jq ok?...he said HP killed it this year. That means they put out great products. The HP omen desktop is not great. Nowhere did I say anything about buying them. I'm literally just stating the OMEN desktop is garbage, which seconds your comment about prebuilts being bad...
What??? Did you just walk out of store with 2 HP Omens??? I can't even buy 2 chips packet :( (I am basically poor). Edit : Oh, damn... I don't think I can remove the thought of buying 2 laptops from my mind... You are craziest investor I have ever seen. Good review!
This video earned my sub. Props to you man for mainly considering things people like me would actually buy. Hope to see more vids like this in the future!
I bought this laptop 2nd hand recently for video editing and rendering. Its an awesome laptop and never had any issues with it. I was going to buy the ASUS Tuf Ryzen 7 version of this laptop but after some research I saw that some of the 2nd hand ones on sale had issues like keyboard not working and another where you couldnt use any web browser when connected to the internet.
Josh thanks so much for the videos you're making. It's great to see an Aussie making such high quality videos with such straight forward advice with no spin. Keep up the good work mate!
I just snagged this laptop from Best Buy on black friday for 950$. After my previous experiences with gaming laptops I swore I'd never buy another one and ended up using a macbook pro 15 for a few years. While it's a great laptop, not being able to expand storage or memory was a major pain. I shopped around and came across the Omen 15 and snagged it. I'm honestly blown away at the amount of performance that you get from this machine. I tested out the gaming performance on the new call of duty with an all night session and the keyboard never once was hot even under full gaming load. The fans do ramp up and get quite loud under load but the nice thing is that under normal web browsing tasks and light work the fans will quiet right down for you. Overall this thing is a steal for the price.
Great review, Josh. Sounds like a great laptop and one I would have purchased had it not been an HP laptop. I owned an HP that had a low audio issue that I could never get resolved. And I wasn't the only one complaining to HP about the audio issues in their laptops.
I recently bought a dell inspiron 5505 with a 4500u (also comes with 4700u) and a 512gb ssd. The screen is also quite decent while it is va dell claims it has 300 nits and 72% ntsc. I chose it over the ideapad 5 15 because the dell looks alot more premium while still being a similar price in the UK. I think you should review this laptop as I cant really find any reviews on it.
Bought the laptop! A truly amazing computer however i got the 4600h version. It works perfectly fine but the 8 core 4800h is most likely worth the upgrade. NOTE that I bought the wrong version and got the 60hz panel. DO NOT BUY. The 144hz panel is so much better and the laptop feels so much more snappy and smooth. I was close on buying the intel version of this laptop, interesting how they perform worse than amd but cost alot more haha. GO AMD. GO OMEN!
Have you tested the monitor's sRGB and nits? I heard the lower panel shipped with the 4600H is not as advertised and is only 60-70% sRGB and 200 something nits. Your feedback would be appreciated.
Josh i love your videos, the moment i decide to buy a specific laptop and then go through your video for that specific model and suddenly i dont want that one. Your videos are awesome, and really informative
Thank you so much for this awesome review! I really want to get this laptop... But can it emulate Android through Android Studio like the its Intel Counterparts can (through Haxm)?
No. You should consider the ROG Zephyrus G14 instead! The display for that model of omen is really bad and has only 55-60% of sRGB coverage. On the other hand, the G14 has 100% sRGB coverage and has an overall better display. You should spend the extra 5k and buy the G14 over the omen becuase it is a better laptop overall. Also, consider buying offline as you might get better deals. P.S. The G14 also has a 120 Hz display. The response times could have been better but it's still much better than 60 Hz.
@@blackcat6309 not really,first of all rog zephyrus g14 is for creators and is overpriced for gaming option you get a 1650ti for 97k on that laptop without anime matrix and on the other hand the ryzen 5 4600h with 1660ti and 60hz screen is roughly 84k and the 144hz version will be coming out around 15th September for 1,00,000 which i think is fair
I think you were on 25K when I first subscribed. Must admit, it's nice to see that you've gotten a lot bigger since then. You're probably one of the few tech reviewers who actually goes into their experience with their hardware, and you deserve to be bigger for that reason alone. Quality content, Josh. Keep up the good work.
Amazing review. Its just informative enough without being over the top. Please keep these coming. And we would love for you to cover desktops as well, as you mentioned.
Rog has gamery looks, has soldered ram and also it s a nuclear reactor compared to this arctic freezer Edit:Although I have to give credit to asus for better portability
Sounds like you had a significantly better experience with your OMENs than I did. I'll share my experience in hopes that it helps someone that's thinking about picking one up. I bought mine in December 2020 directly from HP. The bottom 1/3 of the touchpad didn't work at all and would cause the cursor to jump around. HP's support was so terrible that I got escalated to the office of the CEO and they had to issue a refund/replacement. This was mid January 2021. When I got the replacement unit in mid February 2021 , there was a new touchpad issue; it wasn't mounted in the case properly and shifted around when you tapped it. It took another month dealing with a different escalations team to get a refund going. After many missed contacts and broken promises to call me from the sales team, I gave up. The OMEN would have been great if not for dealing with HP support. I wanted to like it, and I really wanted it to work out. If you manage to get one that works properly out of the box, go for it. If you have to deal with HP support, you're going to have a bad time. I ended up picking up an MSI GE75 Raider from Costco. Sure, it's heavier and louder. And it's got an Intel i7 instead of the AMD Ryzen that I originally wanted. But the laptop just works and is free of manufacturing defects. That, and not having to deal with HP support, make it worth it for me.
@@amartyajagdhari8241 I'm a product design student and it works great for me. Only disadvantage is the color accuracy for creative professionals, it's good for normal usage. This is a great competitor to Zephyrus G14, which is great but kinda overpriced. And thermals are significantly better, G14 runs hot. Go for it, Ryzen 5 + 1660 Ti is a solid combo. It's sleek, lightweight and portable, most compact 15 inch gaming device.
Josh You are amazing. I have been following you for a while looking for a new laptop to replace my 2006 Sony Vaio. I Know... Crazy to wait so long. LOL As soon as I heard your review of the HP Omen 15. I could not get to Best Buy fast enough. I just set it up and love it so far. Since I am now live streaming and doing interviews this is the best ever! Thank you so much for your great vids and all the time you put in for us!! You are the best. So happy I found you and congrats on your success. I'm a realtor and would love to see your new apartment. Show us around! If you have a view want to see that too. All the best to you!!!!
I kinda regret not being able to buy this while on Labor day sale. I at least was able to get a Legion 5 but it is heavier than this with less battery. Edit: Regret gone, there is a defect in some omens covered by @code husky
I'm 7 months late, but code husky finds defects on every single laptop, including the Legion 5. There's no laptop on the planet that isn't going to have defective units
Michael Fisher's giveaway mentioned that you should comment on someone's video who you think is very underrated and I think you are one of the most underrated tech youtuber rn. So genuine, so informative, so in touch with your viewers. I wanna see you with millions of subs
Congratulations on the new apartment! Thanks for these in-depth reviews. Been watching your videos to help me decide what to get. I don't program, edit, nor game but I want this laptop. I teach online and would like to use the laptop for at least 5 years. It would be able to handle future upgraded program and app requirements, I think.
This laptop imho would last a more than 5 years. To be precise 8 core are still on the high end on the desktop market and this mobile ryzen chip can compete even with the desktop counterpart, on the other hand for daily work you can use the 8 core 16 thread real estate to do multitasking such as using zoom while opening power point with ease. Since you want suggestion i would pick this lappy but with larger battery capacity (90whr battery) and 16gb of ram on their website/reseller.
Hey man! I really adore your content! You make one of THE most detailed and informative reviews on laptops available on youtube! I really relate to the factors you choose on which a laptop should excel for a specific consumer! You helped me (a CSE student) choose the Lenovo Ideapad 5 14, which could have taken me weeks to find! I respect you and wish to see your channel grow to the heights it deserves! All the best and thank you!
Thanks for the video! I really liked the video. I'm also the journey of searching for the perfect laptop. This HP Omen laptop never crossed my mind! So going to try that one as well.
I like this channel and the way you review the laptops. It's really easy to understand. Congratulation for 75k subs and for your new apartment. I'm your subscriber, from Indonesia
Thanks a lot for the video, Josh. I was looking for a new laptop and I narrowed down my options to 2(this HP omen 15 and the other one is Lenovo Legion 5) but after watching your video I will definitely go for this one.
I love basically all of your content, and am a huge long-time fan! Keep it up; soon, you'll be setting the trends for all the others. Your videos are the most informative, though well-produced and funny videos I've seen! :)

That's why he's so much better than most of the "reviewers" on UA-cam
True. He is my choice if someone asks for a laptop recommendation.
I salute Josh for buying a laptop that an actual person would buy. Every other youtuber's getting a Razer Blade or a MacBook Pro 16
and they always go for the too spec which in general only few would purchase.
Yeah $500,000 Razer Blade studio edition. Seriously. Who cares lol
Shoutout to Josh for being real
But can't even buy this also.😅

No. You should consider the ROG Zephyrus G14 instead! The display for that model of omen is really bad and has only 55-60% of sRGB coverage.

That, and not having to deal with HP support, make it worth it for me.
I faced two problems with HP Omen:
- Fan started producing roaring sound after 6 months of purchase
- the battery fattened
This AMD variant has barely been out for 3 months. You shouldn't assume that it will be the same as older Intel versions

So happy I found you and congrats on your success. I'm a realtor and would love to see your new apartment. Show us around! If you have a view want to see that too. All the best to you!!!!
Lower your content loudness by 3 db next time please it's super loud
Noted
Fair enough, but I thought it was fine. I can always turn it down 🤷♂️
@@JustJoshTech It seems fine to me, I listen around 60% volume.
It's possible that person has sensitive ears
@@JustJoshTech Thanks!
This dude's volume button is probably broken.
Quality review as always. You earned every single subscriber with your awesome content.
The battery is kinda nice at 69Whrs
Nice
How many hours?
This video is very helpful for me. Your contents are really great as always. Keep it up.
I kinda regret not being able to buy this while on Labor day sale. I at least was able to get a Legion 5 but it is heavier than this with less battery.
Edit: Regret gone, there is a defect in some omens covered by @code husky
I'm 7 months late, but code husky finds defects on every single laptop, including the Legion 5. There's no laptop on the planet that isn't going to have defective units
It feels like this video was made just for me. SO professional and well explained.

Michael Fisher's giveaway mentioned that you should comment on someone's video who you think is very underrated and I think you are one of the most underrated tech youtuber rn. So genuine, so informative, so in touch with your viewers. I wanna see you with millions of subs
Got the same for 850 in after-christmas sale. Super proud of the product.
Hey Josh. I love how you do what you do. Thank you so much for all your superb effort.
Keep up the great work Josh! Loving your videos especially for how unbiased they are!❤️
I bought 3 new laptops for my family this year. A macbook air 13, an HP envy x360 and a Thinkpad X1 Yoga. There a a lot of good ones. Good video.
Just bought mine with R7 16gb and a rtx 2060 cant wait to get it! And it was allot cheaper the other brands whit the same spec!
Congratulations on the new apartment! Thanks for these in-depth reviews. Been watching your videos to help me decide what to get.
I don't program, edit, nor game but I want this laptop. I teach online and would like to use the laptop for at least 5 years. It would be able to handle future upgraded program and app requirements, I think.
This laptop imho would last a more than 5 years. To be precise 8 core are still on the high end on the desktop market and this mobile ryzen chip can compete even with the desktop counterpart, on the other hand for daily work you can use the 8 core 16 thread real estate to do multitasking such as using zoom while opening power point with ease.
Since you want suggestion i would pick this lappy but with larger battery capacity (90whr battery) and 16gb of ram on their website/reseller.
Hey man! I really adore your content! You make one of THE most detailed and informative reviews on laptops available on youtube! I really relate to the factors you choose on which a laptop should excel for a specific consumer! You helped me (a CSE student) choose the Lenovo Ideapad 5 14, which could have taken me weeks to find! I respect you and wish to see your channel grow to the heights it deserves! All the best and thank you!
Just love your style of reviews
Thanks mate!
Thanks for the video! I really liked the video. I'm also the journey of searching for the perfect laptop. This HP Omen laptop never crossed my mind! So going to try that one as well.
Love your content Josh. I haven't seen any other UA-camr who reviews laptops in such detail the way you do. Keep it up 👍.
I like this channel and the way you review the laptops. It's really easy to understand. Congratulation for 75k subs and for your new apartment.
I'm your subscriber, from Indonesia
Thanks a lot for the video, Josh. I was looking for a new laptop and I narrowed down my options to 2(this HP omen 15 and the other one is Lenovo Legion 5) but after watching your video I will definitely go for this one.
Wishing you all the best with the new studio!
I love basically all of your content, and am a huge long-time fan! Keep it up; soon, you'll be setting the trends for all the others. Your videos are the most informative, though well-produced and funny videos I've seen! :)
Thanks mate!
Huge respect for using the laptops you review and not having a hugely powerful desktop hiding behind the scenes, great channel, really useful info
*I love your videos Josh! You deserve much more subs!*
Greetings josh..thanks for great review
Mine will be here on the 4th...Can't wait...using it for 3-d modeling..and CNC programing...not into the game but willing to learn..
Thank you so much, looks like I might be upgrading to an HP Omen. Been looking for a good AMD powerhouse.
A humble reviewer with some great points re cooling, pricing, honest about shortcomings etc. Consider the sub button smashed.
Thanks Kenny
