HP Omen 17

HP Omen 17 AN010TX is a stylish and powerful Gaming Laptop and is powered by 7th Generation Intel® Core™ i7 processor  clocked at a speed of 2.8 GHz and sports a 17.3 inch FHD that comes with a resolution of 1920 X 1080 pixels,so the picture quality is crisp and detailed.The screen size is big enough for an enriching gaming, surfing and video watching experience.On the memory front, the laptop is equipped with a hard drive of 1 TB and a 16 DDR4 RAM,thereby making it possible to store ample amount of data.All the above features ensure that you breeze through all your tasks throughout the day.It is backed up by a Li-ion battery that keeps the device running for upto Up to 12 hours and 45 minutes hours or a considerable amount of time.It is loaded with Dual and Bang & Olufsen; HP Audio Boost for a great audio experience.

The laptop looks good, but it’s a bit of a lump.  The HP’s heavyweight design will make itself noticed in your bag, taking up more room than most other laptops.The keyboard, on the other hand, is very rigid and seems to be reinforced by metal underneath. Accordingly, it doesn’t flex even under intense pressure. The notebook’s bottom cover follows the lid’s X-design and is partly covered by a very rough non-slip coating. In addition, the rear houses additional openings for extra circulation of air. The laptop itself rests on thin rubber strips. The red-tinted keyboard is a disappointment. There is a separate number pad, but the rest of its layout is a let-down: the Return key isn’t double-height, and the ‘up’ and ‘down’ cursor keys are crammed into the space of a single button. There aren’t any macro keys, and there isn’t any software to customise the keyboard. The 1080p screen combines Nvidia G-Sync with a helpful matte finish, and its IPS technology delivers solid performance in every department.  This  laptop is  Movie and Voice modes, too, although both are a little tinny. The Music mode is the best option here, then, and it’s far better than the audio on most other laptops.

The ports available are aplenty outshining the device’s own predecessor by a longshot. USB 2.0 is gone for good, and the new Omen 17 features three USB 3.1 Gen. 1 Type-A ports, a USB 3.1 Gen. 2 Type-C port with Thunderbolt 3, DisplayPort 1.2, and HP Sleep and Charge, dedicated microphone and headphone jacks, HDMI, and a Mini DisplayPort. The port arrangement was also modified. On the previous model, we criticized the fact that too many of the available ports where on the right side thereby penalizing righties. On the new model, the ports are arranged more evenly on both sides with a heavy focus on the left-hand side. USB ports are available on both sides but the two USB ports on the left side are very close to each other. Generally speaking spacing and arrangement have been improved, and smaller ports are more frequently found next to larger ports.
