@@goderuto1750 I have this laptop and after 3 years of intense use + an accident involving coffee spilling all over it + a pretty full HDD, I can still run most games... be careful though, because it seems like HP has pretty much abandoned support for it. Can't get replacement pieces, and there's a problem that many people complained about but was never fixed: the webcam does not work with most software... including the camera app that comes preinstalled
Goderuto I also have this laptop and I’ve had it for 3 years now! I’ve tried playing Apex, Fortnite, Paladins and now GTA V with this laptop. It runs very smoothly with all the games mentioned above :) It has no problems at all! I even have apps such as Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and After Effects, as well as Ableton! All in this beast laptop. If you’re wondering we haven’t even made modifications to it.. like adding ram and stuff (sorry not educated enough on this topic to know haha). But yeah, super good laptop! I’m glad I bought it
I also have this laptop going on for 2 years (not 4 like everyone else because we bought it off someone). Mine is slightly modified and really the only game that I cant run that well is Rust but even then its not even that bad saying i'm using a laptop with a 1050 gtx and minimal RAM so i am not complaining whatsoever.
ive had this laptop for around 5 years and its done me well, I'm selling it tomorrow and I'd honestly recommend it to anyone who wants to start gaming .
How much did you sell it for? Im looking to sell mine. It's only able to run rainbow six siege at around 50 FPS on low settings and can't really run high graphic games at all. Was yours still in good working order?
I have owned this laptop with GTX 1060 for more than three years now. It never caused any problems and still runs most games very well, without heat problems or throttling. It looks like new. I would always buy another one, because the price performance relation is unbeatable. I only paid about 1500 Euros for that beautiful gaming laptop.
just wound up with this, i think the 960, best buy in-store configuration, and your evaluation was on point and informative! good job with this post, my good man!!
i've had mine for about a year but the cooling fans make a weird noise while booting up it sounds like it hits the brim or the side wall of the casing. other than that it runs like a beast with no problems but i will be replacing the fans soon.
@@quintenverkest344 I fixed mine any they work great but my mic is working just fine I just another mic when I play games but if I switch to the computer mic it sounds great
Found this exact model with 16GB of RAM at a local cash America pawn shop. They had the wrong price on it for 128$ !!! They didn't notice it had the wrong price on it either. I'm playing Halo infinite with little to no lag dope ASF
I got this laptop a few weeks ago at a very good price with a student discount. You can also save a lot of money opting for the i5 configuration with the 965m. I quite honestly prefer the look of the newer omen model, but would much rather have the standard HP logo on back. Trackpad performance is rubbish (if comparing to a macbook) and the spacebar key on mine fails to light up (whether it's designed that way I'm not sure). Other than that I'm very impressed.
nice video. The only weak spot on this laptop is the heat from almost entirely it's right side. I think dell's setup for the gpu and cpu on top of the laptop is better since it keeps the entire palm rest cool. :)
Love this review. It's gave me all the info I needed! I want this laptop but I've been reading bad reviews of sticky keys and other various problems. :/
The design looks absolutely stunning. The internal parts are great aswell. I'm not a big fan of the backlight keys. Is there an opportunity to turn them off? If so, I might just buy this machine.
Andrew Tran Thanks, I wanted to buy something for gaming but have no space for a full desktop, so I looked through a few reviews and I think this is what im getting.
hey Andrew, i just bought this Laptop however im having some problem with getting Skyrim remastered at 60fps, am i doing anything wrong ? i appreciate your help and you make kickass review videos. keep up the good work man.
Andrew I've been looking everywhere to find thorough reviews of the affordable gaming laptops and thank goodness I found your videos. Can you make a quick comparison between the 3 HP series Pavilion, Envy and Omen? I asked HP sale rep and all they said was "cheap, average, gaming" and no more valuable advice. I mean you can customize the HP device before buying anyway, so with pretty much the same memory, hard drive, graphic cards,etc. which series perform better? I don't play game, but I need a good laptop for 3D animation which needs similar specs too. Thank you!
hey, nice review. There's one thing I'm interested in though, if i got this laptop with the i5 6300hq would the battery life be the same, is it gonna make a difference?
rehman arshad not like as a literal controller, more like the game can crash or malfunction due to the touchscreen, like SFV when I first got it for PC wouldnt run longer than 10 minutes in a laptop with touchscreen, so I had to desactivate it
@@kyzonm.b.9615 cool I assumed it was an issue with multiple inputs and controls, being poured in at the same time. But that makes more sense must have been a driver issue most likely.
"even though the 960 was coming up on almost 2 years old, you can expect to play many of today latest games on high settings at 1920x1080p... here's a quick sample: Skyrim...." (a 5 years old game)
i used to listen to the comments a lot but trust me dont, this laptop is actually really good, feels very light, only issue is the display, i would defintely say get the 4k, the original display is slighly lacking. the 965m is really good too, you can play most games with a mix of ultra and high graphics
I've had mine for over a year, it is brilliant for playing e-sports titles such as CS:GO and League. As well as some older triple A games, with reduced settings and resolutions. But it's not great for playing today's most popular games.
Subbed man,great video,ok i saw this in a shop here in my country,it has same specs but it says it has 965m,and the price is really great,like 20$ difference with dell inspiron 7559(i7) in our country,just wanna ask if there is really a 965m version of this?just asking cause it seems i cant find a 965m version of this laptop in the internet so im starting to doubt its really 965m,can you pls confirm this?if you can thanks man,cause im really planning to buy a budget laptop and this and dell 7559 are my last two choices.(both have very small differences in prices here)
On this HP laptop can you run dayZ on about medium settings on around 35fps? I'm looking for a 1000£ laptop or lower I don't have enough space for a desktop and I go out travelling a lot is it worth buying. Also can you play GTA v on medium Only just found out you channel and I like it a lot already. Ps- keep up the good videos!
so i am considering upgrading my computer to a new gaming laptop. I have my eye on this one. I plan to be buying play anywhere games for xbox one/windows 10. my question is whether this laptop is worth it or not and whats the difference in a reg 2tb hdd with a 128gb ssd versus just having 2 of the 128gb ssd? I am still trying to learn more about SSD on computers and the differences they have with regular hard drives. I also plan to use a gaming computer as my only computer so I would be storing files and music/movies on my hard drives too. any thoughts or advice about this would be greatly appreciated. thank you in advance.
I have one question bro.How you afford all that stuff?Did companies offer you it for 2 days to do a review and then getting it back?I really want to buy that computer,damn cool.If you don't need it anymore , contact 😛!I will give it a 4-5 years everyday testing.
hi andrew, im just little bit conffusing with this pick up.. i got 3 choices 1. this HP OMEN 2. Asus ROG GL 551 VW 3. Lenovo Y700 which one better? thanks before :D i like your review for this one
GREAT video but i have one question ... Since the battery is non-removable ... when you want to play for several hours, the laptop has to be plugged to wall right?! doesnt that vitiate a battery? Please answer
It is not, if you unplug it and use the battery sometime. you should read some recent test of the batterie usability. A long time ago we used to remove the battery when the labtop was plug but the battery have evolved as the hardware.
This was a very great and helpful review! But, I was wondering if this Best Buy exclusive version's webcam has an Intel RealSense 3D Camera and can use Windows Hello?
I'm not good at all regarding computer components (hardware) and I've learned that some components can be changed in this model. What about the Nvidia Graphic Card? I've found a cheap Omen model, but with Nvidia GeForce GTX 960M (4GB GDDR5)., which I would in the future like to change to something better. Ti-models perhaps. Best regards.
Hey! What other games have you tried and what were the settings and FPS please. I'm purchasing an Omen and hope it's going to be a good gaming experience with Doom 3, Rise of the Tomb Raider and Batman Arkham Knight. Thanks
Andrew I need some advice I want a good gaming laptop, I am debating between the hp omen or the asus rog gl552 which one should I get my money limit is 1050
I've never had a nice laptop in my life, I got this omen today and I'm hoping it works well!
Wow. I never found a review that went over my head..
I respect it.

+Andrew Tran Hey I love your videos by the way. Some people may disagree but, in my opinion, could you give your thoughts in your reviews?
Love this review. It's gave me all the info I needed! I want this laptop but I've been reading bad reviews of sticky keys and other various problems. :/
Good video Andrew, just quick question, does it support 32 gb of ram ?!
Thank you. Yes, 32GB.
Did 32gb ram work in your laptop ?
Hey Andrew I have 2 questions. First one is why didn't you get the GTX965m for the boost and second is this a VR ready laptop. Keep up the good work

*did you
Its based price is 899.99 now

but i have one question ...
Since the battery is non-removable ... when you want to play for several hours, the laptop has to be plugged to wall right?! doesnt that vitiate a battery?
Please answer
thats not the point ... i wonna know if the battery vitiates
Piparote my old laptop is absoloutlu f****ked I have to have it charging to work only charge it when it's needed

It is not, if you unplug it and use the battery sometime. you should read some recent test of the batterie usability. A long time ago we used to remove the battery when the labtop was plug but the battery have evolved as the hardware.

Does the laptop work with a damaged battery?
Hello! Do you know up to how much ram can you upgrade this laptop ? Thank you !

I'm getting my HP OMEN with Intel Core i7 7700HQ on Monday, Wow! This is a beast of a laptop.
Dr. Leonard Hofstadter SAVAGE FAM i just got one as well
it is better than the 7559 i7 version? talking about gaming experience and battery?
did you overclock it?
No.
Andrew Tran in my country it's advertised as having 11h of battery life and it as a gtx 965m. is the battery life thing even close to be true?
Andrew Tran @
No probs just false advertising
Giroud Is God it's weird though, because its advertised as such in every store.
Hey Andrew! Do you mind reviewing the gigabyte aero 14?
I'm not good at all regarding computer components (hardware) and I've learned that some components can be changed in this model. What about the Nvidia Graphic Card? I've found a cheap Omen model, but with Nvidia GeForce GTX 960M (4GB GDDR5)., which I would in the future like to change to something better. Ti-models perhaps.
Best regards.
how do the hinges hold up?
Should I buy this laptop for graphic design?
Should i buy hp omen or dell inspiron 15 7000
Do you think this could run The Witcher 3? Sorry for this question
does it over heat? I have an Envy m6 4 years ago and the games I play makes my laptop over heat.so then it shuts down..
hey Andrew I'm looking for my first PC or laptop and I want a laptop so which one would be better between the omen and the lenovo y700
OMEN
lenovo does have the 16gb ram..
omen has 2 ddr4 slots tho
gangsta pikachu but not 16gb included..
your's and my thinking about laptops is similar!!!
What u used to check the temperature?
Could you do a video of the hp omen 2015 one year later, or is that not a thing
Dude I'm looking to sell this laptop as used, good condition. How much do you think I should sell it for?
Would I be able to do minor modding and do U prefer the previous model
Does it run Overwatch, COD:BO3, and Tf2 alright? Also, is there a way to get a longer battery charge, and is it VR ready?
Vadertrooper no m series graphic cards can do VR right now
Thanks, but do you know if it runs the games I listed?
My friend at school has a 960M, it runs Overwatch well and TF2 is almost ten years old, you'll get hundreds of fps
Thanks man :D
En que fecha fue sacado esa laptop ?
the backlit keys look like the ones on the star wars special edition.
Is the 4gb gtx 1050/8gb ram model much of an improvement ?or should i get the 960m/16gb ram that you showed
I honestly prefer the design of the original omen. It was beautiful and unique
What's the keystroke distance? Thanks.
Hi there. Can you insert a double sided SSD m.2 drive as well?? Is the slot wide enough. Thanks
Are RAM,SSD, and HDD upgradeable?
does it have screen recorder?
Does this support bluetooth?
when it is going to release in India
i got this one 2 days ago, it runs everything soooo good but you really need a adapter.
it runs dark souls 3 at a smooth 60fps :O
Hey! What other games have you tried and what were the settings and FPS please. I'm purchasing an Omen and hope it's going to be a good gaming experience with Doom 3, Rise of the Tomb Raider and Batman Arkham Knight. Thanks
+s0lid snake it ran world of warships at 60fps. it would sometimes spike to 70fps.
+s0lid snake it can run rise of tombraider very nicely
TitanAnyMe what do you mean by Adapter
Brock Semec the charger, sorry adapter is a dutch word for charger
i'm thinkin about the new omen 17" with gtx 1070
worth it?
HardwareBoss so the Asus would be better ?
is the gpu upgradable
is there not a disc tray for DVD or pc game discs
Andrew I need some advice I want a good gaming laptop, I am debating between the hp omen or the asus rog gl552 which one should I get my money limit is 1050

can you still buy them ? Im looking to sell mine but i can't really get a price around it
@@haroldjimbles3311 well the price rn is confirm around 6 500-650$
Hey i'm gonna buy the same but with an i5 6300HQ, is it still good to play games like Subnautica, Skyrim or gta V?
Do you think this could run Battlefield 1? Sorry this is kind of a dumb question
he played battlefield 4 in this review and it ran well .. how much more for battlefield 1. Yes it will.
