The screen resolution is capped at 1080p
While the competition goes up to 4K. Routing all the ports and heat vents to the rear won't appeal to everyone
And the only graphics card available is decidedly mid-tier

HP shakes up the world of gaming laptops with unique-looking and highly portable Omen. It offers very capable performance in PC games, despite being stuck with a last-gen graphics card....
Lovely premium build quality and feel; Unique design; Specs made for gaming, with options for 16GB RAM, 4GB graphics, and 512GB SSD; Speakers that go the full depth of the body; Full HD touchscreen; Massive spacious touchpad and great keyboard with nice t
Mediocre to pointless battery life: four hours if you're doing very little, and even less if you are, or roughly one to two hours for anything fun; Fingerprint magnet;
We haven't seen HP enter the gaming space for quite a while, not since the computer company acquired Voodoo a few years ago and came up with the “Blackbird” gaming machine, which it retired some time after.And yet here we are with a new machine, and one t...
Runs new games pretty well, Great trackpad and keyboard, Lovely screen,
Expensive, Short battery life, Back ports can be a little inconvenient,
There's a lot to like about the HP Omen 15, but its ultimately a pretty niche product. Sacrificing power for portability means gaming notebooks are a pretty niche category as a whole, especially when you consider the asking price of many. That being said...
Relatively lightweight and portable, Looks fantastic, Can run modern games at medium settings
Shallow keyboard, Inconvenient design
We've compared the HP Omen to MSI's GT80 in some aspects, but the two are very different animals meant for very different buyers. Doing so just serves to illustrate that "gaming laptop" doesn't mean one specific type of device. While MSI went for all-out...
HP Omen is priced at Rs 1,59,990 and even by gaming laptop standards, the price is on the higher side. But then again, HP Omen does not look like any other gaming laptop. And this design will certainly command a premium pricing. A quick look online, will...

Not yet. If youre the kind of person who can afford to buy a new $1,500 laptop every year and absolutely need it to be thin and play games and yet never need to use it for work. then I guess so, sure? But a lot of people expect a pricey laptop to be th...

Abstract: HP definitely surprised a few of us when it unveiled the Omen. This particularly sleek gaming laptop marks the company's return to the gaming laptop market; since HP hasn't exactly ventured much into this market, it is definitely planning to change that w...
The HP Omen, unfortunately, is a case of form over function. Its beauty is jaw-dropping and drool-inducing. It's thin and light too, and with a 15.6-inch screen, is large without being bulky. The touchscreen also makes Windows 8.1 a pleasure to use. But H...
Abstract: The Omen, released late 2016, is the first of a new lineup of laptops. HP gaming laptops have never been so powerful.Bundled with the latest Windows (10) OS, the Omen is the pinnacle of HP gaming technology right now. With Intel Core i7 @ 2.5 GHz as its q...
Outdated GeForce GTX 860M GPU, Short battery life, Ports only at the back of the machine, Limited onboard storage, No builtin Ethernet port (requires provided USB adapter), Expensive
While we'd like to come right out and say we're not thrilled by the HP Omen, that would be an outright lie. Apart from its middling performance expected from its hardware choices, the design and effort gone into constructing the HP Omen was something that...
