While the Omen 17 is a classic example of the quintessential gaming laptop, it does have a few trade-offs. The Omen 17 features a beautiful 4K display which makes Netflix and UHD gaming looks like a dream. The drawback, however, is that you will not be able to enjoy this for a long time. The battery tests show that you can get just about 3 hours of use on a single charge, which means extended gaming or media playback will require you to plug in your Omen 17 making it difficult to carry around.
Overall, the HP Omen 17 is a solid product and a really good option for you to consider if you are in the market for a high-end gaming laptop. It’s not the best though since you have the Razer Blade Pro which packs in a GeForce 1080 graphics card in a slimmer frame. We also have the MSI GT83VR which costs a bomb but is one of the unbeatable gaming machines out there. That said, none of them can match the blend of style, performance and value for money the way HP Omen 17 can.
