    I do not use this laptop for gaming so refer to the other reviews if thats what you are here for. I use this laptop to edit large file 4k videos. The editing program runs very smooth minor glitches however not a big deal could be the actual editing program and not the computer. This computer will render a long 4k video very fast after editing. Runs photoshop very fast and smooth for editing large file photos. So far its a great laptop for editing 4k videos and content creation. The OLED screen looks amazing as well.

    Battery life. This is my first gaming laptop and first oled screen I absolutely love both. The gaming has been amazing but i switched from macbook m1 (which was my first laptop in general) so I was use to charging every other day. Now i have to charge every 1-2 hours which sucks but overall having this still feels like an upgrade. Went all in and bought a oled monitor as well so i cant wait until its all setup

    Not a Laptop, its a mobile desktop. disappointing

    really wanted to love this computer—its design and keyboard were outstanding, and nearly everything seemed perfect. However, after getting the laptop, I quickly ran into a major issue with battery life. Playing any video game required keeping it plugged in at all times, I noticed that when it was charging, it could push 4K resolution at 240+ FPS in most games. But the moment I unplugged it—what I like to call my "mobile desktop"—the performance dropped drastically to 20 FPS, with frequent freezing even at 1080p. After extensive research, I discovered that this was a common issue. The battery simply couldn't provide the minimum wattage the laptop needed, making wall power the only viable option for gaming. Additionally, while using the laptop, I often experienced glitches when trying to open multiple applications. It felt like the components weren’t working cohesively, leading to a sluggish and disjointed experience overall. Ultimately, after dealing with these frustrations, I returned the laptop and opted for the Omen 14 4070 i9 instead. This model proved to be much smoother, capable of gaming on the go, and delivered incredible battery life. Its compact form factor, excellent build quality, and responsive keyboard made it the perfect upgrade for my needs.

    OLED screen is wonderful to look at. 5080 ran games at high and HP’s new thermal setup makes the laptop cool to the touch. A little keyboard flex and I don’t know if the trackpad is suppose to be clickable everywhere, but my unit does. No coil whine at high temps. Power adaptor is quite portable. HP did a geat job here.

    This thing runs CAD and printer software with ease along with the few games that we have. The download speeds are great and the picture is phenomenal. On its own the battery doesn’t last real long but it has a lot to run.

    Most people buying a 5080 in a laptop know what they are getting as far as capability os concerned. What I enjoy most about this setup is how well the system is able to control heat dissipation. Easily the best I have ever used. Most gaming laptops under heavy load can reach temperatures that cause concern and even allow the keyboard to be hot to the touch. Not this one. Yes, the fans can get loud but that should be expected. What I really appreciate is that it stays cool to the touch while running at max settings which allows the system to run smoothly and efficiently without the thermal throttle at the cost of performance. Sweet system.

    This computer is excellent. The quality of screen is immaculate with its HDR graphics. The battery life is also very good, even when turned up to maximum performance. This is a perfect computer for portable gaming and school work. Definitely worth the money! The fans are super quiet and efficient, so working in a quiet classroom or meeting will be no problem.

    Pad mouse freezes sometimes and I don't like the computer port for the electrical plug. Computer electrical port is old school and they don't last as long as the USB-C. Otherwise, great computer. P.S.- Some of the software is slightly different than the past.

    This is much better than last years 14 inch transcend model. This is absolutely a beast machine and a must have! The graphics is amazing and its very smooth. When loading heavy graphic based games this laptop runs it like nothing. Especially the beautiful 240hz OLED screen its just stunning! If you have the budget I would definitely get this laptop, you wont be disappointed!

    It has been almost a month now and I have to say I'm impressed. Never had any HP before, for well known heating issues, but this Omen laptop has shut down all my doubts. Cooling system is extremely efficient, you have to tweak a little bit on BIOS and OMEN Hub and then it is perfect!! The 5080 is beyond my expectations, gone are the days of 30 to 65 fPS, any game, any setting I have thrown at it just works flawlessly. As others has reviewed, OLED screen is good but NOT that good, is ok, as me and any serious gamer will use external monitor, same goes for keyboard. Overall, I'm glad I took the decision to buy HP, despite bad reputation due to heating in the past, but it is the past, so good for now, specially in these RTX50XX series drought. Optimus video switcher is a very bad idea, or Idk if it is bad HP implementation but hinders ability to fully setup external monitors properly.

    This laptop is amazing. I traded a g14 4060 to get this. It is so fast!! Ive been running tons of games on ultra with no hickups. The cooling is ridiculously good. Temps have been 40-70 max. The oled is awesome and the keyboard/rgb layout is one if my favorite things about it. The keys have the perfect depth.

    I have tried Asus Lenovo gigabyte and now finally the HP’s oled models of the 5080 laptops and i will say by far this one has the best thermals of then all. They all run with 1-2% of each other which means they fall under the margin of error and if i ran the same benchmarks 100 times there’d be cases where each one would beat the other by a frame or a second, so they’re all nearly identical in raw performance. Im pretty sure they all share the same oled panel but i will say the lenovo one for some reason seemed like it looked the best but the hp one here is still gorgeous and looked the same as all the other brands except the lenovo one i mentioned. So if youre going for a 5080 laptop and you plan to use it for long 4-8 hour game sessions I recommend this laptop. As the other models all reach 90-99 degress on the cpu where this one maxed to 87 degrees while gaming on a game like Black myth wukong
