Portability is clearly not your priority if you are looking for a huge 17-inch laptop. However, HP still gave it a considerable thought and the result is a very sleek and relatively compact frame. At 6.3 pounds, it not the lightest laptop in the world, and certainly not something that you would carry to work every day. But its definitely something that you can move around the house and take it over to a friends gaming party on the weekends.
That said, it’s still considerably lighter than most other gaming laptops in the market. The design also is a bump up from the previous generation of HP high-end laptops. We have a two-tone finish, accented by carbon fibre and the red-hot Omen logo. The same red extends into the keyboard, as the keys glow red to show that you are using a gaming laptop. I still prefer the backlit system on the Razer laptop, but the one on the Omen is clearly up there.
