much better than the previous generation. i feel kinda silly now for spending the money for the new Z13 acronym edition. I currently have the HP envy (2020) edition with the full keyboard and i avoided the Omen for looking too "gamey". but this one is absolutely stunning.
I actually have the z13 also. I have 2 edc tech bags. 1 for the z13 + 16 inch monitor + tkl keyboard + mouse and 1 for the omen 16 + 17 inch monitor + mouse.
The laptop is very beautiful, I mainly like the design of the 2022 model better, from what I could see I think they did a better job on the screen, it is not as flexible as last year and it has better brightness, I mainly like it but the matte screens, perfect laptops will not exist, it will be perfect for each client and for their needs, good work by HP, the only thing that the previous design would have left would have improved the screen and the quality, just one question, which parts are made of plastic and those of aluminum
I can’t be for sure I wish I could just grab a magnet and tell you but the only way to be sure is scratching the paint off. But the chassis (bottom) for sure is.
Thanks, bro. No complains. I like the 2022 version better, I find it more aesthetic, even though the webcam is only 720p (the biggest let down). This year they made it look more like a gaming laptop - and the screen is 16:10. I know the 2022 was a mechanical and technical improvement over the more-pointed-edges 2021 version. The new "transcend" aesthetic will be used for the regular models, so the truly "transcend" models are the ones with the mini-led display and the w, a, s and d letters difference. About the old 16:9 or the new 16:10 display I'd say it depends on personal taste, especially when HP reduced 0.1" in display size this year for this change. Also, is the mini-led display matte? If possible, keep us updated if any hidden major flaw appears in time, which I think it won't, tbh.
@@Austen403 Oh, so your model is simply the Omen 2023. The regular one, already with the new aesthetic. MAKES SENSE BRO, cause I was like: wait a minute - his screen is matte? Mini-led Matte? It is Matte, after all, then? Simply not Mini-Led, nor Trascend. Funny thing is that the a, w, s and d letters are different anyway
@@psibrunojusto it’s still the transcend just without the mini led www.bestbuy.com/site/hp-omen-transcend-16-240hz-wide-quad-xga-gaming-laptop-intel-core-i9-16gb-memory-nvidia-geforce-rtx-4070-1tb-ssd-ceramic-white/6537003.p?skuId=6537003
Thanks for this video, I walked into best buy yesterday and saw this laptop in white and I really couldn't walk away from it. Between this and the lenovo 5 or 7 pro, I can't decide which I like better. I would say the screen option has me wanting the HP but I've never been an HP fan. This laptop looks and feels premium though. Enjoying your purchase so far?
Hey mate, where did you manage to find the mini led model? I can’t find it anywhere, Best Buy is the only ones carrying them I can find and it’s standard IPS.
How's the trackpad/touchpad? I have the OMEN 16 from 2021, and the trackpad/touchpad is horrendous because of the infamous static buildup/grounding issue.
does the vent on the right side blow out hot air? i keep my mouse hand near there and ive had problems on other laptops where they blow air onto my mouse hand. it's not too bad, but definitely an annoying inconvenience.
this is building up to be my laptop of choice, thanks for sharing your experience!

Nice review! It is really useful for me! Thanks for sharing!
What!? So the keyboard is mechanical? Never saw this on the description. That's a surprise
I miss the sleek, dark grey looks. What I love about the new Omen is that it doesn't look like a gaming laptop.
It comes in flat black or white. The choice is yours!
@@Austen403 Glad to know that.

I believe the top (screen) is the only thing that is plastic, along with the bottom opening (the one to unscrew and change specs).
Is it suitable for a graphic designer? Programs that I used are indesign, illustration, Figma, Photoshop, After effect, and sometimes Blender.
It should be pretty good enough.

I made a mistake the model that I have is not the mini led. This model only is 400 nits. Once the mini led comes out I’ll give it a look.

@@psibrunojustono it's not simply the omen 16, but omen transcend... You can see it doesn't have the omen logo insignia unlike an actual omen 16...
Can you tell a little about the battery life?
Undervolting the gpu and cpu could make for wonderful performance

Hey, I wanted to know your impressions after 1 year with the omen transcend 16? Do you have any bugs?
Thanks for the review. Is the price 2299USD?
How is the battery life.
What your impressions after 1 year ?
How's the trackpad/touchpad? I have the OMEN 16 from 2021, and the trackpad/touchpad is horrendous because of the infamous static buildup/grounding issue.
Hello my friend, no trackpad issues on the omen transcend 16 👍
very nice review :)
Could this omen 16 be charged by a type-C adapter??
Macbook Air M series. Fan noise dealt with....
What will better this hp or lenovo legion 7 slim?
does the vent on the right side blow out hot air? i keep my mouse hand near there and ive had problems on other laptops where they blow air onto my mouse hand. it's not too bad, but definitely an annoying inconvenience.
Yo I have a question, do you have this issue: when you put the charger into your computer your screen becomes black?
I had a couple issues in the beginning where the screen went hazy but not from the charger
@@Austen403did you manage to fix it ?
@@Battax it only did it in the beginning I think it got fixed with updates
