If you’ve used it for any gaming how is it I’ve been really looking into this laptop

@@vanphillips5877 it’s been great for 1080p gaming. I’ve even managed 1440p with good frames in certain games. I did have some trouble with Assasins Creed Valhalla, I wasn’t happy with the frame rate… but it’s Ubisoft lol.

@@vanphillips5877 but in all honesty if I was in the market for a laptop right now, I’d go for a 30 series model to take advantage of DLSS.

Man you are lucky, in India the price doesn't go under 1100

@@somilsingh4843 same in Chile. Also the chip shortage, and pandemic shortages in general have really affected the price of notebooks. Everything is so expensive right now

pro gamers dont care about battery

Thx

will the 4800h rtx 2060 model come to india

@@subarthin4165coming mid-september in hp online store, with pre-order units already shipping since yesterday

@@subarthin4165 yes there is a flash sale today !!

Wait next year u probably will get 3070s and 3070s mobile in laptops much.better gpu proformance and amd will be launching their new CPUs and GPUs and because theirs probably will be some great value amd products intel and nvidia prices will drop.Nust to see Some fighting in the market makes us get some great deals

@@teeho299 ya bro!! I am planing to do that .. haha I know my lappy will not die on me so will wait for next gen hardwares.

Cool whine huh? That's the reason I returned two MSI laptops. I couldn't stand it. Just my ears I guess. Thank you for mentioning it.

This comes with a 200 W charger. The poor GPU options with AMD laptops is probably Intel paying off OEM's.

Is it light enough to bring with you everywhere you go?

@@MasayaShida yes its not heavy i got mine off amazon the fully upgraded one it boots up faster then my chromebook

It depends a lot on how much you will be willing to wait. As Nvidia hasn't yet released the mobile versions, first laptops with 30-series will likely end up launching around mid-2021

why don't you get 10th gen desktop intel +rtx2070 from XMG schenker/gamingguru/one.de/clevo-computer? N960sds rtx2060 / N960sf1 rtx2070 , with I9 10900t 35W battery-life would be less but performance and 1% min FPS will improve alot by going desktop.not to mention you have rtx2070 option with powerful cpu as wel unlike current ryzen mobile laptop

DON’T buy a laptop right now. Even if you have to wait for 6 months, it’ll be worth it, since that 3000 GPU will easily last you 3 yrs. If you buy a 20 series GPU right now, the thing is, it’s already 2yrs old and won’t perform as good.

@@jivewig so you're basically telling to wait until there's a rtx 3000 series laptop version? I don't think it's worth it because of course they will limit the GPU wattage

It is very likely that RTX 3000 Mobile will be announced at CES 2021 (January). I also hope that information about that is leaked by the end of this year because I'm thinking of buying a laptop with 2070 Super. As you know, we have 3% less tax at the moment and there are discounts in many shops around Christmas and before. 'Bob Of All Trades' and 'OWNorDisown' already addressed the very high wattage in the 3000-series. They mentioned that this high amount of power has to be limited for laptops. By the way: still not many games have been published, that really use RTX (Cyberpunk 2077 is the next interesting one). Even for CP 2077 the specs are surprisingly low and you can play it with a medium power GPU. New GPU's are released every two years but game develpers can't catch up with this pace (developing games takes much more time!!) A 2060 (or in my case 2070S) should be sufficient for a few years. I will be waiting by the end of this year for additional information regarding the mobile 3000-series and if there are no 'surprisingly positive news' about RTX 3000, I will buy RTX 2000. The alternative is, to wait until next summer/maybe late spring (until they are released) and pay the full price.

Z stands for Ryzen I guess

same

Je made that up I guess. The model isn't named 15z by ho, check the website. There is no z model

May be you got defective unit because i didnt hear anyone experiencing the same

You definitely received a defective one. The legion 5 is a good one too.

@@Crushkai I got the omen 15z from best buy and it was the ryzen 7 5800H with the rtx 3060 and man its amazing overall. You can play literally any game at pretty high settings and still achieve good frame rates. The fans can get a little loud sometimes but at least it can keep the system pretty darn cool. Build quality is pretty nice though the track pad seems to have this weird rattle when clicking which is weird but its not bothersome to me. Overall I would recommend this laptop to anyone who really wants an rtx 3060 laptop with an amd chip. Let me know if there's anything else you want to know about this laptop.

If this is the intel version than it has thunderbolt

I heard g14 has thermal issues not sure

I think he made a mistake, I've never seen a 15z model. He even links to a none 15z model.

$680 open box from BestBuy! AMD 4800h, 1660ti, 8gb of ram. Uograde to 16gb will cost me $40 so well worth it!

@@Svylas what !?! $40 to upgrade the ram, you're sure? I don't live the USA, I will never buy opened boxes. I just don't trust that. But sounds like a good deal yeah

@@RomboutVersluijs $46 USD to upgrade the Ram. And completely understandable, I have until the end of January to return it if it's not as advertised...so far so good though. The battery life is great, no cosmetic blemishes and it came with the original packaging. My guess is someone bought it, tried to play AAA games maxed out and were severely disappointed with the results lol.

@@Svylas well this laptop is able to run all maxed out AAA, as far as what I've seen. I've seen like 20-30 vids on this machine. I don't quite that return policy in the usa

I have heard others speak to a key spacing issue. I am actually drawn to this model due to its interesting arrow key layout (like a desktop keyboard). Sounds like they've had to make some sacrifices in order to achieve that. It sounds like it might be too weird to get used to, and not worth it.

@@Bonesince1997 no, I would've gotten used to it eventually, but the spacing was so different, I didn't want to deal with it, as it would throw my typing off on my other pc's and laptops.

It's available in certain countries like India and China. It's expected to come to the US soon (this month or next)

Use student discount

@@entertainingvariety8893 it doen't work on every site and onley selected laptops and the hp omen 15 isn't one of them i think.

in germany you can find ryzen 7 rtx 2060 models for 1,2 k in quite a lot of places

I would get the AMD version for superior CPU performance and efficiency.

Same here

I heard omen is better from many

The omen has better thermals

If you check Jarod tech, can't remember the name. He shows the legion is just a bit faster. Has better sRGB coverage and some other improvements. They are very close to each other

No

Intel is still significantly faster in gaming than AMD. So it's only a problem if you do a significant amount of video editing or other type of work needing massive multi-core performance where time counts and / or you cannot keep the computer plugged in to charge.

@@Fisustin is intel thermal hotter than amd?

Dude this laptop is a tank in multi core this is better than i9-9900k and editing is a cpu task I recommend the laptop but if u want the best proformance for the money build a custom pc for around a thousand dollars $1000 it will absolutely destroy this thing

Depends if u care about portability and its battery doesn't last that long.So really it comes down to price to proformance or portability.Good Luck👍

@@teeho299 thankyou 🙏🏻🙏🏻, i think im gonna choose hp omen r7 with rtx 2060

@@MadeTioPraditya is it better than the intel i7 version with the rtx 2070?

For gaming mostly

It's available on Bestbuy $1046

There is a deal from bestbuy on eBay, it's 949!!!

Yes.U could 🤣✌🤣🤣

Bhiram Deepnarine whatever, this things great

mills I have a PC but I need something for portability

bro im confused to buy helios 300 i7 9gen 144hz rtx 2060 or go with omen 15 ryzen 7 4800h 1660ti or wait for legion 5 ryzen 7 4800h 1660ti .🤔

@@badnan732 bro go with Intel if you only look for gaming but go with AMD if want stream or game and do multi tasking and if the hp omen 15 with the ryzen 7 4800h rtx 2060 is available in your country buy that model 100 % if I was I would go with AMD

@@badnan732 if the hp omen 15 with ryzen 7 4800h and the rtx 2060 is available in your country go for it or take helios 300 but personally I will go for the omen with gtx 1660 ti

@F G That doesn't make any logical sense... Are you a millennial?

?

When do you think 3000 series laptop will launch approximately?

Its not like that in laptops. .Rtx 3060 will be on par with rtx 2070 super On laptops that is .

Unfortunately laptops do not have the thermal headroom of desktops. So we will have to see what really happens. The new RTX cards have a very high TDP. The new RTX cards won't show up in laptops until summer next year I feel.

I have the intel version its great! RTX 2060 runs really really cool as well! You can't go wrong

@@curtismiller1854 i also have the intel version, i just wish the intel version gets just as much publicity as well.

The Intel version is likely essentially identical so not sure what sort of a difference you'd be looking for. Just slightly higher fps in games and significantly worse performance in video editing, cinebench and handbrake

@@Fisustin and worse battery life & even maybe thermals

@@amirbahalegharn365 is intel thermal worse than amd?

It's 650 now

Yes, but only on the intel models. It's goes to etc 2060 max q
