Here's my 6 month review and why you need to watch before buying! ruclips.net/video/bxHGJ5lgvl4/видео.html (Beware of the screen scratching itself on the keyboard!)
Great video ....you are the first to review the 4k amoled display...I think you should explain more about the display itself, what color gamut, NTSC, adobe RGB, DCIP3 etc and make example in photo or video editing. Great job anyway and thanks for this video
A trade off to having a touch screen is the digitizer on the screen. From what I've read, that makes the image a little grainier. With that said, it has an "anti-reflection" coating. I don't know how that compares to the coatings of other non touch OLED screens from other companies.
from what i saw it was definitely a better "execution" than gigabytes offerings. And price wise and temps...miles more viable than an amoled blade. But the 4k offers so much viability from work/play right down to content consumption its something if you REALLY LIKE is hard to go back from on a 15.6"-16" monitor. That color gamut and pixel density is pretty ideal esp when mine was open box for 1300$ cant beat that. Even if its just a back up system/work system...years down the road it will still be pretty viable just for consumption and some light gaming or PVE titles. Since 4k is so "easy" on the cpu load ratio vs GPU. Though now from time to time i still look up gigabyte's "modern" 4k options to see if theyre any "GOOD" XD....ehh/meh to say the leaast definitely an end user/optimization battle and potential ram/upgrade to solve.
BestBuy just made it $1,599 with a $200 discount (same specs as video). Also, if you checkout as a student you get another $100 off. Just paid $1499 + warranty +tax. An incredible deal in my opinion.
I have a question... I bought the same system, but balked when opening the box... This BEAST has a 200 watt power supply? Is that enough for this system?
Hp omen 15 i7 rtx 2060 vs predator vs helios 300 i7 rtx 2070 max q design. I'm a architecture student. I will use software like lumion,sketchup, autocad,etc... and I also used to play games like cod Warzone, etc..... I gonna use this laptop for 5yrs or above Which one can i choose ?
@@joshuaprince24 the Omen is the only one I can truly vouch for since I'm with it everyday. It has a super solid aluminum body build. The screen however is up for debate. Check out my other video if you want to learn more on that.
Just got mine inn yesterday finally someone got the spec out model when I seen mine I was like this looks so much better then all the ones on RUclips 👍
@@fahimanwar94 one of his recent videos is an update on the status of this laptop and too much pressure was put into the screen carving the deck into the screen. I got to remember not to let my cats get anywhere near mine when I get it :p
What do you intend on using it for? I believe this specific model would compare more closer to a mid ranges MacBook Pro. The air is definitely a little beast though.
Steven Ramon Films macbook m1 16 gig version i was talking, it have same price as pro 8 gig (also confused about these two too) but more ram is better i guess
Thanks for asking, but I can't speak too much for the Helios. All I know is my favorite body styles out of the competitors were the MSI stealth and HP Omen.
Great review one question, how are the thermals? does it get really hot? any chance you can check the temperature? im really considering buying it. thanks!
Thank you! The Hp Omen has excellent thermals to keep it cool. Inside the omen software, you can see the vital internal temperatures and adjust fan speed profiles to ensure you have a fast system always. The laptop itself does not get too hot either simply because of the mentioned features. Here's some quick links to buy it along with the ram and nvme ssd upgrade. 👍 Hope this all helps! Buy the 2020 HP OMEN bestbuy.7tiv.net/56YEb Ram upgrade (32gb): amzn.to/3ia0HDe SSD upgrade (additional 1tb): amzn.to/3fBEE6V
I recommend the intel if you plan to are a video creator simply because of the 4k AMOLED and the RTX 2070 supet max-q. Unfortunately, the AMD is limited to the RTX 2060 which is still a killer gpu.
I would think perhaps not solely for the sake of battery life. Unless you have an outlet nearby, you may only get 2 hours with this model. See my battery life video. Otherwise, it's a great powerful computer that I do indeed recommend for video and content creation.
I have the Omen 15 opted for an open box item at Best Buy for $950.00 for a huge savings plus I went with the Ryzen 7 which is upgradeable to 64 Gigs of ram and it is beating my same machine you have also. I had to return the one I had for an issue and just traded it in for this with the savings which worked out perfect since the savings gave me the ability to reinvest in it another 1 terabyte SSD drive plus I upped the ram to 64 Gigs since the Ryzen 7 compared to the i7 version will accept that much ram. Thank you, HP!!!
Well just 4K, I like the bragging rights it gives me with my Macbook Pro friends mainly I have to be honest... They all want to see my system stats and it's worth the chuckle as I pop the Omen Command Center up to validate my statements... :)
Bought one with 1080p 144hz,rtx 2060,16gb ram, ryzen 7 4800h and 1tb nvme. 2 im happy with it :D I just hope it lasts 4 to 5 years until I buy a new one
So glad I ran into your channel, this is one of the best reviews of a laptop I've seen in a while! I had a couple of questions, one about the description: The link to the 32GB RAM upgrade is for 2 sticks of 16 GB. Is this correct, or should I only buy one stick since the laptop comes with 16GB of RAM already installed? Secondly, as a film student, I'd be using this heavily for video editing and multitasking, but how much do you think I could rely on it if I took it to a 75+ minute class? I'm a bit worried about its reliability after 6-12 months of daily use (your battery life test was so helpful, by the way!). My 2-year-old laptop's battery life is pretty close to this one.
Thanks for the kind words! The Laptop comes with two 8gb sticks so you will need two 16gb sticks. I know.. annoying but worth it. The links I provided are to the exact ones I bought. I actually did create a battery test: ruclips.net/video/9fRwx9pOnII/видео.html If you are wokring on video the entirety of the class, you probably won't get 75m since that is when the computer is running at a high performance mode. However, if it's for notes and etc.. you will be ok on battery saver mode. Also, if you have an outlet nearby, you will be good. Hope this helps. Let met know if you have any other questions!
Yes! Aside from battery life, I bet you will love it. I have no complaints coming from the direction of a video editor. The OLED is a huge deal for me. Best of luck! I'd love to see some of your work!
Hey man, Thank you so much for taking the time to discuss this laptop. I felt immediately drawn in once you said you were considering the MSI stealth (gs66) as well as the ASUS rog Zephyrus m15, as those are the 2 I have been considering. I am a product designer, my main goals for buying this next laptop are for it to perform well under heavy CPU loads for 3D rendering using tools like Rhino, 3Dmax etc, as well as the adobe suite. I like the design of the stealth over the omen. But maybe you can give me your thoughts? Trying to keep the price around 1500$ and have this laptop be my workhorse for the next 7 ish years if i can make it. how much do the lack of build quality here with the Omen, as well as battery life deter you?
I am happy this helps and appreciate your comment! First, the stealth has an excellent build quality but the Omen does too. Intact, I bet you'll fall in love with it even. The flex issues with the omen really aren't that to be afraid of since it does not show any sign of fault under long use. The issue I have with mine in particular is the battery life though it also depends on the model you buy.
@@StevenRamonFilms Thanks for your response! I checked out the laptops at best buy yesterday and I do like the Omen, but of course the floppy screen is a little bit nerve inducing. Have you had any issues with it? not that you've really dropped it but.
Glad you checked them out! I haven't had any issues with it. I've grown to realize it is just part of the design and I do believe it will last a really long and promising time as long as you take care of it. I've left a link in the description if you would like to buy one through there. It kicks back a small commission for my referral and it would be most appreciated! Otherwise, no worries at all. Take your time and find what's right for you. I think you're going to love this computer.
Hey man! Just subscribed! Great video! About to buy this laptop actually. Had some questions though 1. Is the display bright? Like can you use it outside? Or too much glare, too dim, etc? 2. How are the fans? Really loud? I know they’re going to be loud for gaming and whatnot but I’ve heard some are almost too much. 3. How is the cooling and can you manually turn on and off the fans? I’ve heard cooling is great from reviews but not much about how loud it is and how controllable the fan speed is. 4. Does it lag at all? Or do you recommend getting a newer computer with the 3000 series. Thank you!
Thanks for the comment! 1. The display does get pretty bright. You can use it outside. 2. Fans are quiet until you perform some really intensive tasks at which they really wind up but if you have the Omen software open, you can see it is because the Temps get pretty hot so the airflow cools it down fast. You can also adjust max speeds. 4. Lag? During what application? Even through high graphic games, this thing has no noticeable lag for me. I use it mostly for video and photography content creation and it handles premiere and lightroom with a breeze! Let me know if this helps or if you have any other questions!
I guess the screen which is draining your battery fast. Since you are the first one who reviewing 4K omen. Other reviewer didnt mention the battery drain.
@@StevenRamonFilms They do have a so called "anti-glare" technology maybe that's what they're referring to, which they've implemented in the Spectre x360 15 and higher end cpus. Though it doesnt remove the glare completely it minimizes it. Edit: Great video by the way. been looking for review on the higher end HP Omen 15 to compare the flex with the lower specs model, which i have.
@@Brian-m9v Perhaps! Honestly, I don't really notice any glare and I work with lights all around me. I can't recall a time I noticed one. I appreciate your kind words. I'm happy you enjoyed it!
Yes. It all depends on what you need it for. In my case, I'm not much of a gamer (aside from LOL) so I primarily use it for video editing and lightroom.
the big question, will it run fs 2020 - pleased to say, yes, with high settings 60 plus, 35 to 40 even at JFK though don't go nuts with traffic, thermals 60s to 70s, seldom abov
loved the review, one thing is distracting me waching you and that's the lighting.. please use some soft lights, i can see how hard is it for you to look at the camera that makes us even difficult to watch you.. cheers!
I was worried about this but no. Nothing yet after over 6 months of usage. I think I read something about these newer oled panels to have prevention in place to protect it too.
Man this laptop sure is amazing. I've got the one with RTX 2060, with a numpad, and a 60hz refresh rate (144hz wasn't available) and it outperforms any laptop in this price range (Rs 1,15,000, I'm from India so mind the price gap). The thermals on this machine very good, the fans are quite noisy but still keeps your laptop very cool. To all those who are going through a difficult decision on which laptop to buy, be it for gaming or content creation, I say check out HP Omen 15 eu0042tx on Reliance Digital Online. And I must say, this guy's video is just awesome. Keep it up man, Imma subscribe your channel.
I wasn't able to find a list, but it came with 16 GB DDR4-2933 SDRAM and I upgraded it to 32 (2 16's) GB DDR4-3200 SDRAM (link in desc). As for the SSD, I purchased the second gen 3 NVME SSD (link in desc too). Thanks for commenting and I hope this helps!
Hi, I like to travel and I like to play. But I would be afraid of this laptop when traveling. Do you know any tip for a laptop with rtx2060, 16gb ram, i7 with a good cooling system?
I just got this model myself, it should arrive today. But I'm a little concerned about dealing with such a low battery, even with a stay-at-home lifestyle, it might be nice to get more than a couple hours of light usage (since I'd want to do work on this, not just gaming). So, I might end up going for the Ryzen version so I'm not married to the charger.
Steven Ramon Films I’d be concerned about that since the screen flex if it was plastic that would be ok but glass , where did you even get this I haven’t seen 4K screen anywheee ?
@pranay and @nuvo there's definitely a small but sturdy buffer between the back panel and glass. I feel confident the screen will be fine. The flex seems a little worse on camera. I bought this from Best Buy. Direct link is in the description.
You can definitely drop your resolution, but I don't think it would make much of a difference in battery life since each pixel is still being lit. However this would also mean the gpu would be working a bit less hard on processing them individually. In terms of gaming though, yea this would be a good idea for the AAA titles but I'd still give it a shot in 4k with these specs!
What would you choose Acer Nitro 5 2020, Acer Helios 300 or this Hp Omen 15 2020. Really nice video by the way, would appreciate you answering my question 😁
I think the HP Omen looks more sleek and less flashy. Also, it depends on what you need it for? The 4k AMOLED blows the others out of the game in my opinion especially when it comea to video and photography editing. Hope this helps!
Haha yeah but at night, it becomes too bright for my preference. Using the screen at a dimmed level makes the keys really stand out at white. Anyways, thanks your input!
"And out of nowhere this showed up" No kidding. I searched these specs for weeks and only found this by accident on #BestBuy. And then #RUclips put your vid on my 'suggested' list _today_ after _weeks_ of searching for data on the model itself. What the hell happened to search?
Good video man really like it, quick question I saw the same laptop on HP website which by the way is way more expensive 2500 SMH but they do advertise that model with a 120hz refresh rate, any truth to that on your model?
I don't believe it is. That would be sweet though! I think the price might be justifiable. And of course thank you for watching and commenting! So happy you liked it!
@@StevenRamonFilms Thanks for commenting. I have a question on your ram upgrade. You went from 2933mhz to 3200, does the motherboard support the increase in frequency of did it throttle and do you think it's a worthy investment for an average user. Just gaming, lite productivity use and videos and web browsing. Also, what was the stock NVME brand of ssd that this shipped with?
@@kevindsmith10000 Good question. It actually does get limited by processor to 2933mhz. I honestly want sure if it would support the 3200mhz but gave it a try. Well, at least i can overclock if i wanted to now 😁
Good question. The system will automatically limit speeds to 2933mhz. I just got the 3200mhz to see if it would support but turns out, it just bottlenecks at the Intel's limit. Well, at least I know I can overclock if I wanted to now 🤷♂️
@@user-os7pw3ns5j it is worth the upgraded only if you want an absolute stunning display at the cost of battery life. If you are a gamer, I'd recommend a FHD model though for my purposes, I chose the 4k because of video and photo editing.
Sir I want to buy a laptop for video editing my configuration is intel i7 10th gen +1660ti Can it run for 5 years and please suggest some laptop under 1,30,000/- inr Should I buy this laptop.
The speakers are just so so from a picky viewpoint.. as someone who edits video and handles audio projects often, good headphone monitors or studio monitors are the only ways I listen to through it. I'd say 99% of the time. I totally understand anyone else's reasoning though. Hope you like your Y50! Thanks for commenting!
@@StevenRamonFilms paying 1500$ ++ on a machine and get Nokia 311 speakers it's just a scam , also the webcam on laptop are just a scam ..and non of the youtubes that reviewing those laptops say anything about it ... those machines are not 300$ they are 1500$++ my superior laptop speakers cost 30$ for the customers ,who care about battery? those machines are not the nintendo switch , you can never play without plunging the laptop to the wall. so what the hack? , why not adding great speakers to yours brands , I can't never understand it , I don't replace my Y50 for more then 5 years , because every new laptop is to downgrade my audio quality .. I never put headset ,never!! i want my current JBL speakers quality to pass to my new machine , but it's seem like this not going to happens , customers and youtubes need to raise up and say no more crappy speakers and webcams on our 1500$+ machines.
Thanx 4 the great review... but fact is fact & i must say that This review is so true & so false at the same time. No offense.. Hp has released different system & software variants (+prices) under the same name HP OMEN 15 in different countries. Differences are too damn huge. usa, countries in europe, china & india (to name a few) has differnt variants under the same damn name. IT'S TO DAMN CONFUSING. So what you see in the hundreds of youtube reviews in the past couple months about the hp omen 15 will NOT hold true when you buy it in your country, whether online or in a store. It's a clever and really piss off annoying marketing strategy. I almost hate it just cuz of that. Just wanted you all to know that cuz u will definitely be dissapointed when u try to buy it. (depends on what country u live in / buying it from) Anyway other Great options are ASUS TUF A15 ryzen variant ASUS ZEPHYRUS G14 LENOVO LEGION 5 & 5i There is also a ryzen (amd) and non ryzen variant, 60 hz & 144 hz refresh rate variant, 4k screen & FHd Variant Also there's hp omen 15 and 2020 hp omen 15.....see it already gets sooo confusing.... And its just the tip of the iceberg. So pissed off.... Its a grat laptop at a great price with a lot of GOTCHAA'S. PLZ read the label description THOROUGHLY before buying this laptop or else u will deeply regret it. The best however is the HP OMEN 15 ryzen version 4800 H 16Gigs 144 hz FHD RGB keyboard variant with is within the 1000 dollar mark . But most countries do not sell this variant & if u really want it u have to order it online from a different country where it's avaliable, skyrocketing the price of this "budget" laptop which makes no sense ..... Sooooo U C ?? GOTCHAA !! In this case going with zephyrus g14, asus tuf or the legion 5 is a far BETTER bang for bucks option.
Brooo you got such a great laptop but such a bad cpu😢 especially you will be using it for video editing, you really should have gotten the amd ryzen 7 bro, more cores, better performance and consumes way less power (which means way better battery life, which was one of your cons with the laptop) than intels variant. You really really should have gotten the amd one. Anyway enjoy your great computer!😊

I'm thinking of getting this. Just debating if I want to get rid of my Macbook or not for it..
It all depends on the properties imo. I think this will outperform a similarly spec'd MacBook any day just from the thermals alone.
My mom told me recently don’t trade stuff in. Keep it. I’m trying to listen to her.
BestBuy just made it $1,599 with a $200 discount (same specs as video). Also, if you checkout as a student you get another $100 off. Just paid $1499 + warranty +tax. An incredible deal in my opinion.

What do you intend on using it for? I believe this specific model would compare more closer to a mid ranges MacBook Pro. The air is definitely a little beast though.

Can you decrease the screen resolution to 1080p in order to increase the FPS?
Yes you can change the resolution to 1080. This would indeed help with fps.
Are you having any problems with the keyboard? Mine would not register certain keys when I was typing fast.
No, mine works perfectly even when typing fast. Perhaps you should exchange it?

Exact laptop I own, except I don't have that AMOLED screen, I have the 300 Hz refresh rate with the good ol 1080p. I think it's better for gaming
I agree. The 300hz is incredible 😍
Which one is better Intel Version or AMD Version ...??? I am really confused... PLEASE REPLY....!!!!
I recommend the intel if you plan to are a video creator simply because of the 4k AMOLED and the RTX 2070 supet max-q. Unfortunately, the AMD is limited to the RTX 2060 which is still a killer gpu.
@@StevenRamonFilms Thnx sir ...
Can adobe premiere pro run without lag??? How is the rendering speed

I would think perhaps not solely for the sake of battery life. Unless you have an outlet nearby, you may only get 2 hours with this model. See my battery life video. Otherwise, it's a great powerful computer that I do indeed recommend for video and content creation.
@@StevenRamonFilms thanks for reply😀
Sure thing. Best of luck and thanks for commenting!
I have the Omen 15 opted for an open box item at Best Buy for $950.00 for a huge savings plus I went with the Ryzen 7 which is upgradeable to 64 Gigs of ram and it is beating my same machine you have also. I had to return the one I had for an issue and just traded it in for this with the savings which worked out perfect since the savings gave me the ability to reinvest in it another 1 terabyte SSD drive plus I upped the ram to 64 Gigs since the Ryzen 7 compared to the i7 version will accept that much ram. Thank you, HP!!!
Awesome to hear! Are you editing 8k video? What is your need for 64gb ram? Just curious.
Well just 4K, I like the bragging rights it gives me with my Macbook Pro friends mainly I have to be honest... They all want to see my system stats and it's worth the chuckle as I pop the Omen Command Center up to validate my statements... :)
Is the HP omen recommended over MacBook Air for video editing??
Yes, one million perfect for the thermals alone!
Bought one with 1080p 144hz,rtx 2060,16gb ram, ryzen 7 4800h and 1tb nvme. 2 im happy with it :D
I just hope it lasts 4 to 5 years until I buy a new one
Those are great specs and will definitely last you. Congrats on the purchase!
It's sad we have to make the choice between this AMOLED screen or getting a superior CPU.
WHAAAA KEYBOARD BABY👶👶👶👶‼️
Love the keyboard! It's silent and responsive. With it could be a dim white though
This is 60hz sir? Any option? Thanks
I believe hp has a 4k version at 120hz though is this the 60hz model.
Does the upgrade breaks the Waranty ?
I don't think it would since the slots are very accessible. The second NVME SSD spot for example is completely empty.
@@StevenRamonFilms yeah I know, usually it doesn't, but well... I don't want to loose it, juste in case
@Cedric Dc But don't take my word for it. Never hurts to call Hp 😁

So glad I ran into your channel, this is one of the best reviews of a laptop I've seen in a while!
I had a couple of questions, one about the description:
The link to the 32GB RAM upgrade is for 2 sticks of 16 GB. Is this correct, or should I only buy one stick since the laptop comes with 16GB of RAM already installed?
Secondly, as a film student, I'd be using this heavily for video editing and multitasking, but how much do you think I could rely on it if I took it to a 75+ minute class? I'm a bit worried about its reliability after 6-12 months of daily use (your battery life test was so helpful, by the way!). My 2-year-old laptop's battery life is pretty close to this one.
Thanks for the kind words!
The Laptop comes with two 8gb sticks so you will need two 16gb sticks. I know.. annoying but worth it. The links I provided are to the exact ones I bought.
I actually did create a battery test: ruclips.net/video/9fRwx9pOnII/видео.html
If you are wokring on video the entirety of the class, you probably won't get 75m since that is when the computer is running at a high performance mode. However, if it's for notes and etc.. you will be ok on battery saver mode. Also, if you have an outlet nearby, you will be good.
Hope this helps. Let met know if you have any other questions!
@@StevenRamonFilms Thanks so much! I'll be thinking about it since I probably won't be taking as many in-person classes.
Yes! Aside from battery life, I bet you will love it. I have no complaints coming from the direction of a video editor. The OLED is a huge deal for me. Best of luck! I'd love to see some of your work!
Hey man, Thank you so much for taking the time to discuss this laptop. I felt immediately drawn in once you said you were considering the MSI stealth (gs66) as well as the ASUS rog Zephyrus m15, as those are the 2 I have been considering. I am a product designer, my main goals for buying this next laptop are for it to perform well under heavy CPU loads for 3D rendering using tools like Rhino, 3Dmax etc, as well as the adobe suite. I like the design of the stealth over the omen. But maybe you can give me your thoughts? Trying to keep the price around 1500$ and have this laptop be my workhorse for the next 7 ish years if i can make it. how much do the lack of build quality here with the Omen, as well as battery life deter you?
I am happy this helps and appreciate your comment!
First, the stealth has an excellent build quality but the Omen does too. Intact, I bet you'll fall in love with it even. The flex issues with the omen really aren't that to be afraid of since it does not show any sign of fault under long use.
The issue I have with mine in particular is the battery life though it also depends on the model you buy.
@@StevenRamonFilms Thanks for your response! I checked out the laptops at best buy yesterday and I do like the Omen, but of course the floppy screen is a little bit nerve inducing. Have you had any issues with it? not that you've really dropped it but.
Glad you checked them out! I haven't had any issues with it. I've grown to realize it is just part of the design and I do believe it will last a really long and promising time as long as you take care of it. I've left a link in the description if you would like to buy one through there. It kicks back a small commission for my referral and it would be most appreciated! Otherwise, no worries at all. Take your time and find what's right for you. I think you're going to love this computer.
Hey, why didn't you get the ryzen one?
I chose the i7 because of the rtx 2070.
Hey man! Just subscribed! Great video! About to buy this laptop actually. Had some questions though
1. Is the display bright? Like can you use it outside? Or too much glare, too dim, etc?
2. How are the fans? Really loud? I know they’re going to be loud for gaming and whatnot but I’ve heard some are almost too much.
3. How is the cooling and can you manually turn on and off the fans? I’ve heard cooling is great from reviews but not much about how loud it is and how controllable the fan speed is.
4. Does it lag at all? Or do you recommend getting a newer computer with the 3000 series.
Thank you!
Thanks for the comment!
1. The display does get pretty bright. You can use it outside.
2. Fans are quiet until you perform some really intensive tasks at which they really wind up but if you have the Omen software open, you can see it is because the Temps get pretty hot so the airflow cools it down fast. You can also adjust max speeds.
4. Lag? During what application? Even through high graphic games, this thing has no noticeable lag for me. I use it mostly for video and photography content creation and it handles premiere and lightroom with a breeze!
Let me know if this helps or if you have any other questions!
I guess the screen which is draining your battery fast. Since you are the first one who reviewing 4K omen. Other reviewer didnt mention the battery drain.
Yea. Though the screen is phenomenal. For my purposes, it is totally worth it. Besides, it charges fast so 🤷♂️
Thanks for commenting!
You could show a gaming benchmark
Good idea! Think I might!
@@StevenRamonFilms wow, didnt expect a reply, and this soon too lol
All the best in your future videos 🤩
I appreciate that!
Is the 4K screen more reflective than the Full HD ones?
Because it is glass, from angles, yes though it is considered anti reflection. I don't ever notice any sort of reflection when using it.
@@StevenRamonFilms Lol thers no anti reflection on your 4k display. Full HD screen has no reflection, its IPS
@Brian You might be right just because of Best Buy's listing is not 100% accurate even though it says it is there. Lol. Thanks for your input!
@@StevenRamonFilms They do have a so called "anti-glare" technology maybe that's what they're referring to, which they've implemented in the Spectre x360 15 and higher end cpus. Though it doesnt remove the glare completely it minimizes it.
Edit: Great video by the way. been looking for review on the higher end HP Omen 15 to compare the flex with the lower specs model, which i have.
@@Brian-m9v Perhaps! Honestly, I don't really notice any glare and I work with lights all around me. I can't recall a time I noticed one.
I appreciate your kind words. I'm happy you enjoyed it!
Only 60hz? 🤨
Yes. It all depends on what you need it for. In my case, I'm not much of a gamer (aside from LOL) so I primarily use it for video editing and lightroom.
the big question, will it run fs 2020 - pleased to say, yes, with high settings 60 plus, 35 to 40 even at JFK though don't go nuts with traffic, thermals 60s to 70s, seldom abov
This thing is running Destiny 2 at highest settings in 4k. Smooth as butter. Mind blowing!
Is the screen back panel metal?
The normal omens has plastic backlids but ive read some articles saying that the 4k version has a metal backlid.
I believe it is plastic hence the flex. Though I'm going to double check!
Thanks for commenting!
loved the review, one thing is distracting me waching you and that's the lighting.. please use some soft lights, i can see how hard is it for you to look at the camera that makes us even difficult to watch you.. cheers!
Thank you for that! Yeah, I realize I didn't have enough diffusion 😅 appreciate the input!
If your still responding to these comments how much was this laptop build if you don’t mind me asking?
I spent around $2000 with the upgrades! Though the 16gb ram stock is still solid along with the 1tb it comes with.
@@StevenRamonFilms thanks I’ve been thinking about this one and I think I’m gonna get it.
Have you got a burn in problem with this laptop yet? OLED is my favorite looking display, its just the burn-ins that stop me from buying this.
I was worried about this but no. Nothing yet after over 6 months of usage. I think I read something about these newer oled panels to have prevention in place to protect it too.
@@StevenRamonFilms Thank you so much for letting me know! I will consider getting an OLED Laptop in the future once my HP OMEN 15 dies
hi how long does the battery last on this?
This really depends. It's not very long to say the least. Releasing a video very soon on this so stay tuned 😉
Man this laptop sure is amazing. I've got the one with RTX 2060, with a numpad, and a 60hz refresh rate (144hz wasn't available) and it outperforms any laptop in this price range (Rs 1,15,000, I'm from India so mind the price gap). The thermals on this machine very good, the fans are quite noisy but still keeps your laptop very cool. To all those who are going through a difficult decision on which laptop to buy, be it for gaming or content creation, I say check out HP Omen 15 eu0042tx on Reliance Digital Online. And I must say, this guy's video is just awesome. Keep it up man, Imma subscribe your channel.
Does this configuration come with a 720p webcam or 1080p? Bestbuy says 1080
Nice catch. It's got the 720p web cam.
Is there a list of RAMs and NVMe compatible with this new omen?
I wasn't able to find a list, but it came with 16 GB DDR4-2933 SDRAM and I upgraded it to 32 (2 16's) GB DDR4-3200 SDRAM (link in desc). As for the SSD, I purchased the second gen 3 NVME SSD (link in desc too).
Thanks for commenting and I hope this helps!
The whole video is you talking. Can we see the omen up close please?
Is it heavy?
Not really. It's 5.4 lbs which is less then the previous generation.
Great review! Any chance to get "latencymom" results on this laptop? thats a free software measuring audio latency.
Thank you! And I don't see why you couldn't download latencymom. I normally use ASIO4ALL for my audio latency controls.
I got the same laptop but don’t have a advanced option for lighting in omen command centre?
Hi, I like to travel and I like to play. But I would be afraid of this laptop when traveling. Do you know any tip for a laptop with rtx2060, 16gb ram, i7 with a good cooling system?
I just got this model myself, it should arrive today. But I'm a little concerned about dealing with such a low battery, even with a stay-at-home lifestyle, it might be nice to get more than a couple hours of light usage (since I'd want to do work on this, not just gaming). So, I might end up going for the Ryzen version so I'm not married to the charger.
Good idea. This laptop is super powerful but with the expense of the battery.
Does the oled screen have a grainy effect or u can see the pixel at white ish color like on the envy 15?
Hey so you have two 1tb ssd in your omen?
I sure do!
Thanks for commenting!
Wait is this a new hp omen gaming laptop ryzen?
Yes.. did you watch the video? And this model is using intel.
Thanks for the comment!
Is this a glass or plastic screen ? I know the 60 , 144 and 300 hz are plastic this looks glass
Glass! Edge to edge glass baby!
@@StevenRamonFilms will that make the screen more prone to damage/cracking due to the flex, because unlike the plastic screens glass doesn't bend
Steven Ramon Films I’d be concerned about that since the screen flex if it was plastic that would be ok but glass , where did you even get this I haven’t seen 4K screen anywheee ?
@pranay and @nuvo there's definitely a small but sturdy buffer between the back panel and glass. I feel confident the screen will be fine. The flex seems a little worse on camera.
I bought this from Best Buy. Direct link is in the description.
Quick question. I have the same laptop. My monitor frequency drops to 134hz on battery and is back to 300hz on charger. Is that normal?
Hi a have same computer but is not walk for keyboard lighting change
I'm not sure I understand your comment. Is there a problem with your keyboard?
not a single word about the rendering speed or if it can handle adobe video editing programs in general
Battery life is affected by 4K OLED display, which consumes much more power than IPS FHD display.
Can we switch off the 4k mode? Like is there a option something like this?
Switch off 4k mode? Like on the screen? Or this this RUclips video? Thanks for commenting!
You can definitely drop your resolution, but I don't think it would make much of a difference in battery life since each pixel is still being lit. However this would also mean the gpu would be working a bit less hard on processing them individually.
In terms of gaming though, yea this would be a good idea for the AAA titles but I'd still give it a shot in 4k with these specs!
What would you choose Acer Nitro 5 2020, Acer Helios 300 or this Hp Omen 15 2020. Really nice video by the way, would appreciate you answering my question 😁
I think the HP Omen looks more sleek and less flashy. Also, it depends on what you need it for? The 4k AMOLED blows the others out of the game in my opinion especially when it comea to video and photography editing. Hope this helps!
Steven Ramon Films More into Productivity and Gaming Performance, just for fortnite, same advice?
Something with the rtx2060 would do incredibly well. So this Hp Omen in my review will perform above and beyond for Fortnite. Hence the rtx 2070.
Hello, i’m à french vidéo editor, i don’t really understand what you say xd but do u recommend this pc for 4k vidéo editing ?
Yes! I bought mine specifically for video editing and content creation!
Whats the hertz is it 144?
No, the 4k version, at least mine, is 60 hz but they do have higher hz versions.
Can I use final cut Pro this laptop,4k vedio editing,plz suggest sir,✌️👏👏
Yes! I run premiere and edit 4k on mine so I'm sure you'll be happy with it!
Thanks for the review but brighter is better imo haha
Haha yeah but at night, it becomes too bright for my preference. Using the screen at a dimmed level makes the keys really stand out at white. Anyways, thanks your input!
can i have 64gb ram on OMEN Laptop 15-ek0023TX
the one with intel i7 and 2070 super
No, this tops out at 32gb
the battery last only 70 mins for gaming
This is also near what I got. Will be releasing a video very soon with a review on the battery.
Gotta expand that dram immediately yikes
I second this!
Ram upgrade (32gb):
amzn.to/3ia0HDe
SSD upgrade (additional 1tb):
amzn.to/3fBEE6V
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Why no 4k display with AMD? 😩😤
Haha not sure! I'd request it through their site!
This kind of display will turn the laptop virtualy non-portable as for battery life.
@@mirax777 you are right. This model has terrible battery life ar the expense of its high end specs.
"And out of nowhere this showed up"
No kidding. I searched these specs for weeks and only found this by accident on #BestBuy. And then #RUclips put your vid on my 'suggested' list _today_ after _weeks_ of searching for data on the model itself.
What the hell happened to search?
I don't know! But I'm glad we found eachother 😁😁😁
Thanks for commenting!
Good video man really like it, quick question I saw the same laptop on HP website which by the way is way more expensive 2500 SMH but they do advertise that model with a 120hz refresh rate, any truth to that on your model?
I don't believe it is. That would be sweet though! I think the price might be justifiable.
And of course thank you for watching and commenting! So happy you liked it!
Watching the video with the same laptop(32GB), but my keyboard setup is different. Indian versions have different keyboard layout I guess.
Ugh that battery life is hard to swallow though. 4K just kills laptop battery life.
Yes. Especially it being Amoled too.
@@StevenRamonFilms So max 2.5 hours with hybrid mode and better battery mode on?
Bought this today for $1499.99 at BB. I'm glad to see this review.
I hope you love it! Thanks for your comment!
@@StevenRamonFilms Thanks for commenting. I have a question on your ram upgrade. You went from 2933mhz to 3200, does the motherboard support the increase in frequency of did it throttle and do you think it's a worthy investment for an average user. Just gaming, lite productivity use and videos and web browsing. Also, what was the stock NVME brand of ssd that this shipped with?
@@kevindsmith10000 Good question. It actually does get limited by processor to 2933mhz. I honestly want sure if it would support the 3200mhz but gave it a try. Well, at least i can overclock if i wanted to now 😁
@@kevindsmith10000 This ram should work perfectly for it: amzn.to/31FOY99
Can u please tell this laptop which is available in india nd if it is available mention the price
Subbed
Thanks!
@@StevenRamonFilms will the Intel take advantage of the 3200ram
Good question. The system will automatically limit speeds to 2933mhz. I just got the 3200mhz to see if it would support but turns out, it just bottlenecks at the Intel's limit. Well, at least I know I can overclock if I wanted to now 🤷♂️
@@StevenRamonFilms is the amoled worth the premium and it really has a 2070 super max q so essentially a 2070
@@user-os7pw3ns5j it is worth the upgraded only if you want an absolute stunning display at the cost of battery life. If you are a gamer, I'd recommend a FHD model though for my purposes, I chose the 4k because of video and photo editing.
Sir I want to buy a laptop for video editing my configuration is intel i7 10th gen +1660ti
Can it run for 5 years and please suggest some laptop under 1,30,000/- inr
Should I buy this laptop.
Yea it will last you but you just need to take care of your equipment. I recommend it.
@@StevenRamonFilms Thanks for letting me know and you reply
@@adityadidwania9456Thanks for commenting!
never every I pay for gaming machine with crappy speakers , stick with my Y50 until the end.
The speakers are just so so from a picky viewpoint.. as someone who edits video and handles audio projects often, good headphone monitors or studio monitors are the only ways I listen to through it. I'd say 99% of the time. I totally understand anyone else's reasoning though. Hope you like your Y50!
Thanks for commenting!
@@StevenRamonFilms
paying 1500$ ++ on a machine and get Nokia 311 speakers it's just a scam , also the webcam on laptop are just a scam ..and non of the youtubes that reviewing those laptops say anything about it ... those machines are not 300$ they are 1500$++ my superior laptop speakers cost 30$ for the customers ,who care about battery? those machines are not the nintendo switch , you can never play without plunging the laptop to the wall.
so what the hack? , why not adding great speakers to yours brands , I can't never understand it ,
I don't replace my Y50 for more then 5 years , because every new laptop is to downgrade my audio quality ..
I never put headset ,never!! i want my current JBL speakers quality to pass to my new machine , but it's seem like this not going to happens , customers and youtubes need to raise up and say no more crappy speakers and webcams on our 1500$+ machines.
Thanx 4 the great review...
but fact is fact & i must say that This review is so true & so false at the same time. No offense..
Hp has released different system & software variants (+prices) under the same name HP OMEN 15 in different countries.
Differences are too damn huge.
usa, countries in europe, china & india (to name a few) has differnt variants under the same damn name.
IT'S TO DAMN CONFUSING.
So what you see in the hundreds of youtube reviews in the past couple months about the hp omen 15 will NOT hold true when you buy it in your country, whether online or in a store.
It's a clever and really piss off annoying marketing strategy.
I almost hate it just cuz of that.
Just wanted you all to know that cuz u will definitely be dissapointed when u try to buy it. (depends on what country u live in / buying it from)
Anyway other Great options are
ASUS TUF A15 ryzen variant
ASUS ZEPHYRUS G14
LENOVO LEGION 5 & 5i
There is also a ryzen (amd) and non ryzen variant, 60 hz & 144 hz refresh rate variant, 4k screen & FHd Variant
Also there's hp omen 15 and 2020 hp omen 15.....see it already gets sooo confusing.... And its just the tip of the iceberg.
So pissed off....
Its a grat laptop at a great price with a lot of GOTCHAA'S.
PLZ read the label description THOROUGHLY before buying this laptop or else u will deeply regret it.
The best however is the HP OMEN 15 ryzen version 4800 H 16Gigs 144 hz FHD RGB keyboard variant with is within the 1000 dollar mark . But most countries do not sell this variant & if u really want it u have to order it online from a different country where it's avaliable, skyrocketing the price of this "budget" laptop which makes no sense .....
Sooooo U C ?? GOTCHAA !!
In this case going with zephyrus g14, asus tuf or the legion 5 is a far BETTER bang for bucks option.
Brooo you got such a great laptop but such a bad cpu😢 especially you will be using it for video editing, you really should have gotten the amd ryzen 7 bro, more cores, better performance and consumes way less power (which means way better battery life, which was one of your cons with the laptop) than intels variant. You really really should have gotten the amd one. Anyway enjoy your great computer!😊
Thank you for the comment! This was the only variant with the OLED 4k screen which made sense for me.
@@StevenRamonFilms oh I didn’t know that. Keep up the good work with your videos man, one day you’ll blow up!
4k at that size is absolutely wasted
Hmm.. you really think so? I can definitely tell a big difference. I work with 4k files all the time though.
No true srgb
I know what a flash drive I live in a 3rd world country
