this is the HP omen 17 a gaming laptop part of HP's highly marketed a new omen series of gaming pcs this particular model is called the W 2 or 3 and O and 5c latest and greatest from Intel and NVIDIA that being the quad core cable ache i7 7700 to HQ and an extremely powerful and video gtx 1070 graphics card with eight gigs of VRAM it's also got 16 gigs of fast ddr4 Ram a half terabyte of next-level speed nvme SSD storage and a 1080p IPS display with g-sync so what did I do to test it well I went to Dreamhack summer 2017 the world's largest land party now this video is not supposed to be an extremely in-depth review covering each aspect of everything this laptop is made of instead it's supposed to give you a nice understanding of who these lots of is for if it's good or not and therefore if it's actually worth getting one so let's begin by taking a look at the design its game ring to say the least it's a little bit more so than something like the Alienware 17 but still people will know you're rocking a gaming laptop from quite far away it's got sort of a carbon-fiber look-alike plastic casing with some red accents around the keyboard with illumination and The Omen logo on the back personally I'm not a fan of the design instead I appreciate the industrial design of the Razer Blade pro if the design is of please to your eyes so you'll be pleased to note that it's decently well built although not as well built as a razor blade series of laptops with their aluminium builds the keyboard feels sturdy however the display can be a little bit wobbly while typing on the keyboard it also acts as a fair bit so I'm not 100% sure and how well that's going to hold up but the hinge is made out of metal so no issues there this laptop is heavy which is to be expected of such a powerful device but you know compared to the Asus G 702 VI the razor blade Pro and the Alienware 17 it's a little clumsy if you can live that though it's a fair bit cheaper than the aforementioned pcs for the same specs all right so the keyboard is a good well actually for being a non mechanical keyboard I quite like it it's got a numpad and media controls and it clicks themselves feel quite quickly as you can we feel when the button has been actuated it's sadly not RGB though so no race the track side has got this stretched out look and I'm not a fan compared to the Dell XPS 15 and MacBook Pro track path that I've been using for the past couple of months this one sucks and just listen to those clips what is this 2006 but yeah anyway this is a gaming laptop and therefore no one will actually use the trackpad so it's not that big a deal the display is as mentioned before a g-sync 1080p IPS panel and it looks decent it's no 10 bits perfectly calibrated IPS panel but for what it's supposed to do it's pretty good colors are decently vibrant but sharpness isn't as good as other dialogues get 16 for what it is so a display to be used for playing games it's pretty good thanks to the G sync technology smoothing up the already great gaming experience by the gtx 1070 and speaking of gaming is the 1070 powerful enough definitely throw literally any game at it and it will handle it with ease and yes I said any game there which is the battlefield on Crysis 3 and so on it's fine it can do everything it's also powerful enough to perform demanding creative tasks like video editing animation graphics designs and more as well so overall I like it it's not as well as built as others it's not a sleek as others its display isn't as good looking after 4k one found in others but it sure is as powerful and capable as the other laptops in this segment so if you feel ok with not having the best of the best in those are for mentioned aspects while getting the insane performance at a lower price bias I recommend it so what do you guys think of the HP omen 17 let me know in the comment section down below and I'll catch you guys in the next video peace
