I think while it does look gorgeous the subpar IO is not worth it. No SD card slot in such a laptop is beyond tragic and the 2023 G14 is just as good looking while offering way more ports, a display that can lay flat (yes, it is important to some people and not completely useless) and more importantly it comes with an AMD chip that makes a lot more sense, in my opinion (I am open to debate). Great video as always, you helped me a lot with purchasing the right laptop for me, please keep up your amazing work, have a great day!
MY Gaming Laptop puts Your Gaming Laptop to Shame' Just Look at my About info to SEE the info About it' my Brother Says its 50 Times Faster Then his is 😁
Hey Matthew, I'm back, I just finished the last step beating cancer and I'm recovering, I'm here back to support, I can never forget when you gave me the G pro X superlight wireless mouse❤❤❤
I bought my black 2024 HP Omen Transcend 14 (16gb, 1 TB, Core Ultra 7 155H, 4060 8gb) in late March for $1,499 at Best Buy. I suspect the biggest reason this laptop is "hamstrung" with a low TDP is HP's decision to use a USB-c power adapter, limited to 140 watts. But I have found this laptop to be awesome for routine chart work with that OLED monitor. And when occasionally playing Helldivers 2 on it (at 1920x1200, High Quality settings using Reshade for upscaling and MartyMods RTGI Ray Tracing), I still get FPS in the upper 40s, but I swear it feels faster and smoother than that with no stuttering. At the price I paid, I am very happy with the purchase, even more so after nearly 2 months of ownership.
Omen HP laptop is not getting hot it's because they're feeding with low wattage it means worse performance compare to other competitors but plus sides like comfort
@BluepineYT laptop vendors can control the power input to the gpu. So, what hp did was they reduced the power input to control the heat. Low power = lower performance than what it is capable of. I would say they balanced the power and temp. I would trade of that level of performance to keep from over heating. Because in laptops if temps go high it would be uncomfortable to use the keyboard. They might have done it in consideration.
if this thing had second ssd slot (for dualbooting) this would have been absolute perfection but this is still such an amazing and beatiful device, gotta switch to it one day (like the stuff like usb c charging, integrated headphones dongle, the fact it has usb c and jack next to each other which is kinda niche requirement, etc.)
I'm a student based in Dubai, and I've been on the lookout for the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 (2024) with the RTX 4060 GPU. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find it here in the UAE. I noticed that it's available at Best Buy in the U.S. for around $1,149, which is an incredibly attractive price. This laptop would be perfect for me, as I frequently travel to my home country for work and studies. Its portability and performance make it an ideal companion for my needs. I really wish I could get my hands on this laptop.
Hey Matthew , Would love if next time you can show us the Camera Sample in natural light or a normal room light , Your studio lights makes it a little difficult to judge.
Asus g14 has better build ,better speakers ,better performance ,better battery and better webcam+microphone which is underrated. yeah! g14 wins by a margin.
When it leaked few months ago before Meteor Lake launch, it became my most favorite design of all time as of now. According to me, it is the best 14" gaming laptop. 🎉🎉
One of the best value gaming laptops for value even in the UK (for a change). The G14 has an overwhelming loyalty from gamers at that price, but that has some issues, so it is close between the two. Thanks for the comprehensive review.
Have been using HP OMEN 14 for about 2 months now, and love it ✌ Got it from BestBuy with $300 Memorial Day discount or something. It was $1699 with pretty much top spec, Intel U9 185H and RTX4070. Asus G14 2024 has no discount during that time, only Asus G14 2023 has a great opened-box deal. Looks, I know people love comparing this laptop to Asus G14, but I just had Asus Flow Z13 die on me after less than 2 years (which is too fast and it's expensive!). I had Asus G14 2023 before too but it has bugs on the game I play, so I returned it. I just like HP OMEN transcend 14 more, I want to try something else and Intel Core Ultra. That's why I get this one.
I love the design, but until HP can figure out proper pricing, I can’t find the reasoning to shell out that much for it. Granted it is 100 bucks cheaper than the G14 but I’d take the G14 over it, even with the atrocious RMA and customer support issue.
It's a gorgeous laptop. They had one on display at my local bestbuy. But the screen wobble was too noticeable while typing for me. Maybe if they fix that in a revise I'll take another look at it. With the Asus 14 existing that's a hard thing to overlook.
I’ve got the RTX 4070 version and my Lenovo Slim 5 14 RTX 4060 beats it in games. The speakers have a rattle at certain frequencies too. It’s a shame. 15 more watts to the GPU and slightly better speakers would have this on par with the G14. It’s going back and I’m keeping the slim 5.
Not sure it needs a mux switch since Microsoft's CASO (Cross Adaptor Scan-Out, implemented in DirectX) negates the performance gains that a mux switch typically provides. Also, the HDMI port connects directly to the dedicated GPU and provides full performance to an external display. I have not missed the mux switch. (But it does not have an sd card reader, which may be a deal breaker for some.)
Yes sir thank you for saying what I alreayd said at the beginning of the video :P But sponsored or not I compared it to other laptops in terms of performance and recommended a different model. I think I was fair!
How does this laptop do for video and photo editing? been looking for something to replace my gaming pc but offer me the portability as well as a good display for editing
I would not consider having a lower GPU TGP as an advantage in thermals and fan noise, because one can also lower the TGP of the GPU in G14 to make it run cooler and less noisy. This video looks more like an advertisement rather than a review because this laptop is not compared to any other laptops at all.
Its sponsored as stated and I do show performance compared to other 14" gaming laptops in the performance section, which the Omen loses out to the Blade 14 and G14.
Yes, thats intended. HP does this with there 16" laptops as well. It's better for cooling when laptop is closed. However, you might get a bit more dust build up
@@MatthewMoniza far bigger problem is the potential to bend it when putting it in and out of a backpack. I bet not even 5% use their notebooks closed.
the screen and chassis looks great and that chungus vapor chamber looks like it could handle a full powered rtx 4070 if it was paired with more powerful fans or even higher noise/temp cap. why would they hold it back like that? is razor blade 14 and it's outragous price our only option for a full powered 4070 14" form factor?
Yup sponsored as mentioned in the video and the description. However, I showed performance compared to other 14" gaming laptops and recommended a different model if you're buying the Omen 14. I think I did a good job of being fair all things considered.
Nice review. But can you put the specs of the laptop you are reviewing at the very start of the video please? I need to know whether it is something I will actually be interested in buying before I watch a whole video about it. I really dislike it when content creators don't do this.
Thanks for watching! As for placing it in the beginning it doesn't match my routine of how I talk about the laptop. Theres always a link in the description to the exact unit in case you want to just know the specs.
the thing i am scared is if this gets dirty after some days or months of use like becoming yellowish can anyone clarify this. I love white and this is the only thing stopping me from getting one, cause you know I would like my laptop to last at least like 3 - 4 years without becoming like a cheap silicon phone case.
@@MatthewMoniz hmm yeah but does it happen like quickly? What is your experience with such laptops. Anyway seeing you replied to my message made my day. Thanks and as always your videos are amazing♥
Yes, but they use significantly slower RAM as the 8500Mhz in LPDDR5X is not available in modular form. So the Alienware is only 5600Mhz. I prefer speed over the possibility of RAM breaking something in the future (RAM is now recognized as the least likely component to fail).
@@cameronbosch1213 that may or may not be true for some tasks but with AI becoming a major feature and it being ram dependent then the faster the ram the faster the machine learning and AI. That is why Intel requested OEMs to use soldered ram.
@@andyH_England That might be why Intel's Lunar Lake and AMD's current Zen 5 laptop CPUs have soldered RAM standard, but given I have workloads that can eat through 16 GB like it's nothing and 32 GB can be made JUST BARELY to work, the fact that we're going one step forwards and two steps backwards on RAM really is a huge problem imo.
@@cameronbosch1213 yes, I understand for your demographic that uses ram intensive workflows that Windows OEM have to give an option for 64GB. It appears that it will be coming, though maybe difficult to find at the moment.
Only the Zephyrus can compete with this wonder. The Predator, Alienware, etc. have dumbo dumb dumb screens. Btw, I am rocking an Envy 16 with i7 BUT A370M graphics lol.
@@MatthewMoniz there's no perfect technology I think. And it is all up to what each person's brain can tolerate. My brain can reconstruct not so perfect black while yours may ignore reflection on screen. And I hate like people pretend this is a minor thing, while it is a major deciding factor when you actually show them a difference in a not perfect environment. They cannot unsee that.
Waaait a minute, so you're saying THIS laptop has the best thermals and fan noise out of all 14" laptops you tested? Seems you forgot about the Razer Blade 14 you reviewed 3 months ago, which goes to 44dB on both balanced and Turbo mode, this thing goes all the way up to 55dB, that's +11dB !!! Not to mention Razer's thermals never go past 80'C.... as seen in your Razer Blade 14 vs ROG Zephyrus G14 video.....
HP being lazy with slapping just 60w on that 4070, that's a joke! Any company trying to sell 14inch "gaming" laptop should do enough research to have the cooling capacity of up to 100w for gDPU.
@@MatthewMoniz But you don't compare any aspect of this laptop with any competitor. For example, G14 is much smaller and lighter, and has better performance and speakers.
A white keyboard combined with an OLED panel is just terrible. You can't see the backlight of the keyboard properly, nor can you properly see the dark shades on the display.
That makes no sense because the entire display including bezels are black so it makes no difference. As for the keyboard ,its easy to see with the translucent borders that let the light shine through. In fact you're getting more light then a regular black keybaord that only shines the light through the letter.
That's not right. It's always about contrast. I have a gaming laptop from HP myself, but it is completely black and also has keys with translucent edges. It also has an IPS panel with 144hz. Everything is clearly visible, even in dark areas. I never had the feeling that I had to increase the gamma value in a game so that I didn't miss important details. And it's not just the display that is in the field of view, but also parts of the keyboard. That's why it's particularly annoying in bright environments when the glaring white keyboard is next to the OLED panel with its very dark black tones. This is particularly clear at 3:47 in your video, for example. You have the feeling of looking into a dark hole. No, that simply doesn't convince me at all.
@@cameronbosch1213 Blade definitely faster! But if it goes on sale it will still be expensive and when that happens the G14 and Omen will be on sale lol
@@MatthewMoniz in this specific config. yes, but not if u compare higher and lower specs. And none cares bout the g14. Lenovo is unmatched when it comes to price/service/quality/hardwarespecs. Across all other brands, overall Lenovo beats anyone. Asus is just marketing, their notebooks are ds. I can speak from my 3200€ Rog strix scar G533qs max config, experience. Even their screws are ds, and I mean it. Their customerservice could also be non existent, it would cause less trouble lol. Asus also released a bios update (1year ago) which took away 3k rpm!!! 3000!!! It took them 3 months to fix that, very professional. Thing was unusable for demanding tasks.. top of the line product = top of the line bugs ;)
What do you guys think of the HP OMEN 14? We need more white laptops and this one nails the design.
I think while it does look gorgeous the subpar IO is not worth it.

I don’t know about the video he did, but rumors have been going around that this is the best thermal 14 inch gaming laptop
is this laptop capable of handling after effects??
Yes, it can handle after effects.
But i guess only the 4070 version has 32gb ram, which is kinda necessary for after effects atm :/
Watching this video from the very same laptop hehe.
How you liking it ?
@@MatthewMoniz Loving it so far! Would have appreciated better speakers tho... Also my version has 4 zone RGB.
Seriously, what is the point of paying $2k for a 4070 laptop that is crippled to 80w...total waste of money.
That’s why I recommend the 4060 instead
Too bad you're also stuck with only 16GB of RAM if you go with the 4060 model 😢
Good laptop
06:34 Name of the game?
overwatch 2
HP being lazy with slapping just 60w on that 4070, that's a joke!
Any company trying to sell 14inch "gaming" laptop should do enough research to have the cooling capacity of up to 100w for gDPU.
Video sponsored by HP, says everything about this video
And yet I show performance results to other popular 14 inch gaming laptops and recommend a 4060 model instead. Says everything about your comment
@@MatthewMoniz But you don't compare any aspect of this laptop with any competitor. For example, G14 is much smaller and lighter, and has better performance and speakers.
the pricing from hp is a joke, why don't buy a ROG G14 instead........
Hows it a joke? Its $100 cheaper than the G14. $1899 vs $1999
@@MatthewMoniz But G14 has a lot of advantages over this: much smaller and lighter, better performance, much better speakers, better chassis, ...
A white keyboard combined with an OLED panel is just terrible. You can't see the backlight of the keyboard properly, nor can you properly see the dark shades on the display.
That makes no sense because the entire display including bezels are black so it makes no difference. As for the keyboard ,its easy to see with the translucent borders that let the light shine through. In fact you're getting more light then a regular black keybaord that only shines the light through the letter.
That's not right. It's always about contrast. I have a gaming laptop from HP myself, but it is completely black and also has keys with translucent edges. It also has an IPS panel with 144hz. Everything is clearly visible, even in dark areas. I never had the feeling that I had to increase the gamma value in a game so that I didn't miss important details. And it's not just the display that is in the field of view, but also parts of the keyboard. That's why it's particularly annoying in bright environments when the glaring white keyboard is next to the OLED panel with its very dark black tones. This is particularly clear at 3:47 in your video, for example. You have the feeling of looking into a dark hole. No, that simply doesn't convince me at all.
i saw the black version at best buy and the keyboard just looks so hideous on it
Ya I’m not a fan of the black one. White one is the way to go
It's just not nearly as beautiful as the Zephyrus G14, and that's an objective fact ;)
G14 is pretty too but this looks nicer and no its subjective :P
there's one thing white laptops do really well: get uncleanably grungy over time
'tis a beauty, but then I saw HP....
Please review the new asus tuf a14 (2024).
Its coming in soon
Tuf gaming laptop is the winner of 2024.. omen 2nd.
""There's one thing white laptops do, that is to become dirty in no time at all" :-P it is beautiful though
Razer Blade 14 way better than this..
Its also a lot more expensive
@@MatthewMonizis the omen 14 pricier than the zephyrus g14?
@@Sinoxapanse Just looking at prices on Best Buy G14 is $100 more for similar spec'd model as the one I reviewed. $1899 vs $1999 for the G14.
B@@MatthewMoniz But when the Blade is on sale, it destroys both the Omen Transcend 14 and Asus ROG Zephyrus G14.
@@cameronbosch1213 Blade definitely faster! But if it goes on sale it will still be expensive and when that happens the G14 and Omen will be on sale lol

200% price compared to competitors for the same hardware, no thanks. No mux switch in 2024 roflcopter.
No mux switch does suck but 200% price increase!? It’s $100 cheaper than the g14…
@@MatthewMoniz in this specific config. yes, but not if u compare higher and lower specs.
And none cares bout the g14. Lenovo is unmatched when it comes to price/service/quality/hardwarespecs. Across all other brands, overall Lenovo beats anyone. Asus is just marketing, their notebooks are ds. I can speak from my 3200€ Rog strix scar G533qs max config, experience. Even their screws are ds, and I mean it. Their customerservice could also be non existent, it would cause less trouble lol. Asus also released a bios update (1year ago) which took away 3k rpm!!! 3000!!! It took them 3 months to fix that, very professional. Thing was unusable for demanding tasks.. top of the line product = top of the line bugs ;)
