I thought technology had come far farther than this. I bought this as an upgrade from my 2015 Macbook Pro. I thought "finally, a modern laptop. Now we have tablets that run YouTube and multitask silently without heating up. Surely laptops are just far more capable versions of those tablets." Boy was I wrong! This thing runs hot while it's doing absolutely nothing. The fans turn on at idle in eco mode for no reason. It stressed me out! Omen gaming hub is a laggy mess. This laptop crashed on day 1 while I was watching YouTube. I'd say the one thing it did moderately well was run games with the fans on very high speed. It's like an old school supercar in a way, it can sprint very well but it cannot walk. It does well on the track but not well around town. I was looking for more of a modern supercar that excels on the track and then can also shut up and be civilized on the road. This laptop cannot shut up and be civilized. It wants high octane, high risk, high stress at all times. I would stay far away from this if you are a college student looking for a laptop to take notes on or code on during class. It is heavy, it runs hot and it makes noise. You're far better off with a Macbook. If you really have an itch for playing AAA games on a 14 inch screen and you don't care about noise, maybe check this out. Even then, a console and monitor would run you less than half the price and perform way better. If you want to game on this laptop on the go, expect 1 hour of battert. I really don't understand the point of this laptop besides looking cool. Because it does look the coolest out of all the laptops. But looking cool is the only thing it excels at. I'd pass on this one. In fact I did. After a few more random crashes I returned it. A high end laptop in 2025 shouldn't sound like my Dell from 2005 when I'm browsing the web. Unacceptable

Great computer for gaming. I purchased the Open Box model to save, because it is expensive, but it does a great job. It does get hot while gaming, but most small laptops do. The display looks fantastic, but it should have a touchscreen. The battery life is good if you are not playing games. All in all a great gaming computer for its size.

The HP Omen Transcend 14 is a triumph of design and display, delivering a gaming laptop experience that is genuinely portable. Its spectacular 3K OLED screen and comfortable keyboard make it an excellent choice for a creator, student, or professional who games on the side. However, to achieve its slim profile and thermal management, HP has intentionally limited the wattage of the GPU. This means its raw gaming performance, while strong, often trails behind similarly spec'd, but thicker, competitors like the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 or Razer Blade 14.

Wonderful laptop, fast and small enough to use comfortably on my lap. Mostly used for photo editing and Xbox cloud gaming.

No, its not gaming laptop. Marketing nonsense aside. What it is, is a very portable laptop that is perfect for students or professionals who need some GPU acceleration in a very slim and portable package. A perfect laptop for on the go creators, or doing some light gaming. The cpu and gpu when in games cannot achieve high TDP at all, due to the limited wattage of the system. IT will outperform an iGPU in gaming of course, but not by a mile or anything. In pro task such as video editing, this laptop really shines. Also note, it has akiller screen, but its glossy. so avoid in super bright environments. Overall a nice laptop

Bought this laptop a few months ago and has been great! Mainly play games on my PS5 but still wanted to be able to play PC only games with my friends. Also wanted to be able to run engineering programs like Solidworks on the go. This laptop has saved so much space in my apartnent going from a desktop to this, and has been able to run every game and software no problem. Very happy with purchase!

The HP OMEN is a phenomenal laptop. Powerful, fast processor; visually stunning graphics; lightweight; more-than-ample storage capacity. Built for gaming, but excellent for use in grad school where lesser laptops wouldn’t cut it. Highly recommend!

Excellent, runs fast, sleek design, and long battery life

I really like this computer. It’s a good gaming computer and the OLED screen is awesome and this gaming computer is the perfect size for me so I got both power and portability all in one.

This laptop has been excellent for both gaming and college work. It runs demanding games like Wuthering Waves smoothly, with fast load times, stable frame rates, and clear graphics that make gameplay enjoyable even during intense scenes. The performance stays consistent without noticeable lag or overheating. For college use, the laptop is just as reliable. It handles multitasking with ease, allowing me to run productivity apps, browse the web, attend online classes, and work on projects without slowdowns. The display is comfortable for long study sessions, and the keyboard is responsive, making typing assignments efficient. Overall, this laptop offers a great balance between gaming performance and academic productivity. It’s a solid choice for students who want a single device that can handle both entertainment and everyday coursework.

Overall this is a powerhouse for gaming and everyday use. I found the hardware components excellent, and and it played top tier games on high settings. The keyboard lighting was a bit gaudy, but can be customized with "quieter" lighting to not distract while in gameplay. I did find the USB A ports extremely tight and devices / cords difficult to remove.

Needed to replace my HP Spectre that was 11 years old and still worked great, except it didn't support Windows 10 any longer. After looking at the HP OMEN features and pricing, I decided to get that. Gave me way more power and memory for heavy use, AI in addition to gaming (even though I rarely do that). Works fantastic so far. I have been using it several weeks so far and love it. Crisp, clean graphics and plenty of power and headroom for my needs.

Very happy with this laptop. Bought it as I was considering a macbook but did not like the limitations of windows. So far the laptop has been great. The lightness and thinness are a very nice plus, and the screen is OLED and offers great contrast and brightness. One downside would be the metal HP decided to use on the chasis, it is very prone to fingerprints. Overall, good purchase.

Fantastic laptop with an amazing display, and good portability. A couple of caveats that made me run the laptop the downfiring speakers can be easily muted if they aren’t elevated on a surface, laptop gets really no matter what surface it’s on and keyboard is very mushy to type on. Would recommend for a college student or gamer that only is able to keep it elevated and for only 1080p games.

Good speeed, lasting battery and a good graphic card

It’s a good laptop if you want to balance gaming and everyday browsing. Although the battery life may last up to 5 hours. It’s still pretty good. There is some problems where the screen will go black when I put night light on and then go back to bright light. Another issue is when I play a movie, very rarely the screen will stutter and go back. Playing games is very good. The fans are quiet and the laptop would not get hot which is good for me. Overall this laptop is a must for casual gamers who want to game and do everyday browsing.

I have been using this laptop for a week now. It’s been great thermals have been good and he battery life has been great. It lasts 8 hours on light browsing and Word. Gaming is great on it too, while not the highest resolution it’s able to play every game I’ve thrown at it.

I got this for my daughter for her 22nd Birthday and she loves it. She said, "I'm getting Frames Per Second instead of Seconds per Frame!" She loves the portability without sacrificing performance. Its great for doing her college work too.

Really good laptop and super lightweight and I do like the battery life on it as well. Just make sure to turn HDR off if you want long battery life as I noticed I only get 2-3 hours of battery while doing school work with HDR on versus 7-8 hours with HDR off. also, gaming wise I play call of duty on it and I run mw3 multiplayer on extreme settings with 80-90 fps so pretty awesome!

As far as experience with device is pretty good, very efficient processor, light weight and good quality and experience
