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!

The Omen Transcend 14 is a great laptop for the price. The OLED display looks amazing with rich colors and sharp detail, and the Intel Ultra 7 plus NVIDIA GTX 5060 run games and everyday tasks really smoothly. It’s light, portable, and feels premium. For what I paid, it’s totally worth it.

Love the keyboard and style. It works and it keeps up with my gaming. The only downfall is that it gets very hot. Make sure it’s vented at all times. Even the power pack for the cord gets very hot.

Overall, this is a good laptop for what I need. I’m currently in a CIS program for school, so the higher RAM and faster processing speed make a noticeable difference when running multiple applications or working on assignments. It performs well and has a clean display, but I can’t help feeling a little disappointed that I missed a sale on another model just a day earlier. For the price, it’s a solid choice, but it does feel a bit expensive for what it offers.

I purchased this laptop as my first dive into pc gaming as well as some graphic designing. I spent so much time researching different models and brands and I do not regret choosing the transcend 14. I’m only about a month in but with fairly heavy use and here’s what I’ve accumulated/experienced.
Pros:
-incredibly powerful for just a laptop. I hold 60-70 frames playing high end games. Intense graphic design is smooth and I never notice even a tear in functions.
-the cooling system is top tier. I know laptops have always been notorious for overheating but this one seems to have skipped that stereotype. I average around 115° F and reach a max of around 150° with intensive use.
-the price is completely fair for what you are getting. I was budget searching when I chose this laptop and I do not regret paying extra for something that exceeded my expectations.
Con’s:
-the battery life isn’t terrible but I would like it to be longer. Although I do use it for hours on end, I find that I typically have it plugged in more than not.

Purchased this computer for its graphics card and to play on my virtual tabletops. Works as hoped and I appreciate being able to turn off the glowing keyboard as I personally found it distracting.

I purchase this because we wanted to hit the road trip and my son didn’t want to miss the Roblox updates games. This is speedy and same config as we had for our desktop, response time is good.

It's a great compact middle-ground for gaming while traveling.
Battery life is solid. I rarely worry about being aways from an outlet, and even still...I can charge from my little 140w Anker.
It's a lower-powered 5060, but still capable of playing any game I throw at it. Not as well as a fat 5060 laptop, but plenty well enough for its size.
There are definitely more powerful laptops for the price, but not so many at this battery-life & size.
Also, the keyboard is pretty great. Not Thinkpad, but getting there IMO.

This thing is a beast! Wonderful vibrant colors on light up keys. Keys feel great. Screen just shouts look at me. Gaming is a breeze for this machine. Handles everything that I need it to do. Overload on just college work. Better than most laptops on the market. Choose this one you won’t regret. Thanks Best Buy for carrying this beast. Beautiful piece of work. Only if you can afford it. It can hurt the pocket. Got a dollar?

I was looking for a laptop that could handle both photo/video editing and play AAA games at respectable levels all while not sounding like a jet engine getting ready for takeoff. This has great battery life and the fans stay quiet for most tasks. If they kick on, they efficiently cool and cut off quickly afterwards. I'm very happy with this purchase.
