The Most Popular OMEN! 

On the keyboard/trackpad?

@@BobOfAllTrades both actually. Some people really glance over both areas. I get there isn't much to talk about and it can be personal preference. But, just giving an honest opinion is something the manufactures need to hear.

As a user , i just wanna say that dont put heavy strain on your laptop , and clean your fans every 3 months or so . And also please use a cooling pad. And dont game on your laptop continuously (for 3 - 4 hours). Let your laptop cooldown. If you dont take good care of it , the performance decreases , and in one year , it would be so bad that it can barely run games. I have a rtx 2060 and get 60 - 30 fps in rocket league. Thats what happened cuz i didnt take care of my laptop properly. Take all of this into consideration and have fun !

@@urdad267 I think that's because of your thermal paste drying out. dude my friend plays for like 6 hrs on his laptop minimum, for over 2 years, no cooling pad, he only cleans the heatsinks, fans and replaces the thermalpaste every 7 to 9 months and that to if need be. don't know what happened to your laptop though.

@@urdad267 cooling pads are completely useless. What you're experiencing is probably thanks to no or bad quality thermal paste and letting the damn thing run for 24 hours.

@@misterlove6225 lol what... cooling pads can lower the temps up to 10°c based on the shape and positioning of chassis and fans of both laptop and the pad itself

@@urdad267 bruh change your thermal paste and it will run great again , do a full service and cleaning

It's the same for me! I reach spikes of 101 C on games likes bf 2042 that are CPU hungry. Did replacing the thermal paste help you?

i got the same deal, i wasnt willing to go after the 1100$ priced options w.o being able to see them in person so i just went for a 1289$ priced one. Still When a 1tb included drive is also a bit of a standard its also one of the best price points for a large nvme drive.

Are you talking about the one from Best Buy I saw that used to be advertised as an OLED I'm not sure that's the case anymore just want to verify I'm also thinking of going old school 2070 in lieu of a the 3000 Series just to get the metal chassis build an OLED panel

@@neosrt10 y theres one with amoled an alternative panel from samsung with a claimed rtx 2070 max q but its actually a 2070S if it comes with a 10750h. When it drops on sale to 1399$ the open box versions also drop by 200$ and thats when to get one. around 1100-1300$ for an open box.

@@anhiirr Do you happen to know the model number

@@neosrt10 15-ek0023dx is the one that comes up when i google 4k omen BB. But LUL its 1799 sticker atm bi monthly it drops to 1499 or 1399 then the open box options hover around 1300 for excellent or certified

Yea the battery optimization feature I svery well explained by him

Yeah I’ve been keeping it up for 5 1/2 years so the ship it’s gonna have to set sail here eventually 👍

Could you explain why you want this over a Legion 5 whats the thought process to the purchase decision i mean? 🤔

@@humblefudge6218 Here was my thought process for getting an omen: -I was able to use a 10% off coupon code that only applied to hp -I could order directly through the manufacturer and avoid third party sellers who markup prices (yes you can order through lenovo but the website is always sold out in the specs I wanted) -It would only take 2 months to get to me whereas any legion would take not only 4+ months to ship but also you have to include the amount of time for it to get back in stock on their website -For a ryzen 7 5800h and rtx 3070 I couldn't get a Legion with the price I got my omen for -I'm in college so a 300w power brick would take up even more space in my backpack than the 200w with the omen -Omen has an aluminum build in some areas of the chassis where the Legion only has plastic -144hz screen as the lowest cost option. The non pro legion 5 only has 120hz at base screen, at least where I can buy it. -Both can be configured with dual channel 16gb of ram, but the omen comes with rank 8 ram rather than rank 16 -A really nice, non-gamer aesthetic. The base legion 5 has a similar aesthetic, but the pro version does kind of say "gamer", at least to me However, the L5P does have: -a higher wattage gpu -Improved cooling (not that the omen has bad cooling by any means but the Legions can handle more wattage at slightly lower fan noise) -mux switch, and therefore a noticeable but not crazy performance improvement. It definitely helps to have one, but not having one isn't the end of the world and you still get decent fps

and 16gbs of ram?

@@zeboi621 yes, R7 + 3060 + QHD + 16/512 + RGB kb

@@sushimshah2896 lol that was the one im getting

@@zeboi621 I'm not getting it, I don't even live there, but I like speccing like this since my aunt had brought my HP Envy like this back in 2014.

I have the rtx2060 version The fans were broke in the first 6 months The rest seems good.

Temperatures are not a concern for GPU here so I doubt undervolting will do anything significant. Overclocking might though!

@@nSackStyles I know that the temps are not a concern for the GPU but the heatsink is shared between CPU & GPU so temp reduction/increase in GPU temps will also have an effect on the CPU temps. By undervolting I dont mean just reducing the voltage of your GPU at its stock frequency. Lets say at stock your GPU runs at 1600 MHz on 1.050 V, you can do two things in this: 1. Undervolt your GPU and make it run at 1600 Mhz on .920 V. (Plain undervolting). 2. Overclock your GPU to 1800 MHz and make it run at the same stock 1.050 V or lower if possible. (Here I'm trying to get the max frequency out of your GPU at the lowest voltage possible, which is not just plain overclocking - this can increase perf while decresing temps).

@@moneshbhalodi2379 Well said! Thanks for sharing your views.

How is your experience going with this device?

Hi, I am thinking about buying this, would you please mind telling me how is it going so far? thanks

@@AliRaza-ed1cc This device is great, I didn't have any problems with it. It also has secure boot and TPM 2.0 on the motherboard so you can upgrade it to Windows 11 if you would like to (you can control them with using BIOS menu.). Great product overall. Only downside is the camera, it's not that great but who cares about the camera anyway. This PC will most likely get your every stuff done. I don't regret it.

@@ufukthegreat0 Cheers mate, I don’t play any games I just need an appropriate laptop which can handle heavy engineering softwares and I was kinda concerned about its battery life how long does it last for normal usage? I’m planning to buy r7 5800H, 16gb of ram and RTX 3060. Thanks

@@AliRaza-ed1cc You'll need your power adapter plugged in if you're planning to run heavy softwares on it. Performance is nice though.

In Jared’s defense it’s gonna be a little difficult cover details to that depth based on how frequently he creates content. It’s just not humanly possible when you’re a one-man show.

That’s, honestly, what I thought, too.

How is the thermals while gaming & daily regular use?

@@rashidmammadrzayev353 I game during the night time results can differ. I play most games at high or ultra settings and the maximum I've seen the GPU temp is 75 most of the time gpu stays between 60-69 and CPU 70-80

Where do you get discounts for those

@@ChrisTomatoPie Bestbuy.

Hey bro! Can you please share your experience?

@@shivangsingh3251 Bro I was mostly worried about the build quality because of Last year's model flex issue but this year one looks quite durable I have also opened an gaming benchmarks channel you can check performance there

@@shivangsingh3251 Uchiha Gaming YT

Good question

How is it so far??

@@bezdamonster i love it. it’s extremely responsive and rendering is suuuper fast

@@bezdamonster on the other hand, the cons i found are (imo): 1. no numeric keypad. i usually use it A LOT for AutoCad and for measurements in general, but its quite understandable since its a gaming laptop. 2. def the camera quality. its just badddd periodt. despite this i’d still give it a solid 9.5/10

Well I was taught differently if this is going to complicate things I’ll just leave my feedback out of it 👍

@@BobOfAllTrades No worries. Maybe you were thinking about power decibels, when when have 10x the power you get 10log(10) = 10 dB

@@BobOfAllTrades can this laptop run quietly watching videos ?

And m16!

@@blenderguy3250 m16 for the win

Wow I'm in the same position as you too. Im gonna need a laptop for college and will have to make a decision in the next few months lol, really confused by all the options in the market though...

@@myheadbro6214 1 piece of advice from a former college student. If you are going to travel every now and then get a lightweight laptop. If you are stationary in a home/city go for a desktop replacement. If you have to play games (because covid) mac is not an option for you yet I think.

@@StavrosZorbas thanks for the advice, and yes I'm looking for a desktop replacement, probably going to be 16 inches laptop like the legion 5 pro

Using USB to charge, you'll still need to feed it 200+ Watts. I doubt you'll be better off trying that.

Totally agree with you. Intel 11th gen processors works so much better for gaming purposes.

@@Moshe_Dayan44 it comes up with a 330watt charger

Then they need to make the correction on their website as I have no way to physically test this. I am not blessed with the awesomeness that you have my friend 👌

Running above 3.8 ghz is too hot for cpu

So how does Age of Empires 4 performs on your laptop?

@@door-to-doorhentaisalesman2978 runs great! Stable 70 to 90fps on max 1080p. At 1440 around 70. I only do 2v2 at most though. I didn't notice any drops with max units, but honestly at that point I'm usually not focusing on fps lol.

@@IraJavier That's great. I wonder how much fps in AoE 4 will I get on 3050ti / R7 5800H at 1080p?

What does your memory report?

@@BobOfAllTrades I beleive they cap it at 2663 if I remember correctly.. The new ram I installed was capable of 3200 and 16 cl but is now handicapped at 19cl and reduced mhz. The Bios has no xmp option cause they removed it. I went to the omen forums and a rep said they didnt want the machine "OVERCLOCKED" and therefore dont allow it.....HOIW CAN THAT BE AN OVERCLOCK IF IT IS CAPABLE OF THAT MHZ ORIGINALLY LOL. I havent bothered to confirm but saw in the forums that if you, in fact, buy ram from HP directly then you can indeed get it to run at 3200mhz....BUT ONLY IF PURCHASED FROM THEM.....Again, maybe something that you might be interested in knowing. Thanks for everything you do man....You above all else I trust with your opinion and knowledge 👍😎

Unfortunately you’ve really got to step it up in price to get a nice trackpad in a good gaming laptop usually.

@@BobOfAllTrades g14/g15 has good glass touchpad

I don’t think you need to be reminded of what those laptops lack either 👌

My 17” had the same problem. I just opened it up and took off the silver bracket right below the battery and bent the spring clips on the track pad and put it back together and wow. Night and day difference. Feels a lot better and tighter and not loose at all anymore. Took maybe 3-4 mins to do.

I ordered one with a 5600H but it still hasn't arrived. I was wondering how it compared with his 5800H

@@victorsvidss has it arrived and is there really a huge difference in 5800h and 5600h? I was about to buy the 5600h on with rtx 3060

@@FinHemo based on benchmarks there isn't a significant difference, and I ordered it at the end of April (yes April) and it still hasn't arrived because of the chip shortages :( HP is releasing some new omen laptops soon though that are worth checking out

@@victorsvidss thank you for this information. Do you know if the new hp omen laptos will differentiate in pricing?

@@FinHemo actually thier prices seem to be pretty competitive, starting at like $800 and all the way to $1700 if I'm not mistaken www.omen.com/us/en/laptops/2021-victus-16-1-intel/specifications.html Also omen.com

If you’re gaming primarily, 16:10 isn’t ideal. I personally love it since most of my time on a laptop isn’t gaming. That’s where the translation is getting lost with many reviews and viewers. Some titles will offer the native ratio and that’s nice. Others will have black bars making the image smaller than a 16:9 15” solution. Others won’t play nice at all and just obscure the image. As a content creator, 16:10 and 3:2 is preferable for more vertical real estate.

@@BobOfAllTrades thank you sir! I love gaming but I am a content creator myself so your unique perspective is always appreciated. Thank you!

Or maybe it's a thing of 2021 version.

Nice! Where did you find the best deal?

@@BobOfAllTrades I could not find any around for the life of me. A Best Buy about 2 hours from where I live carried the Intel AND the Ryzen model. Intel was 1,800 USD, Ryzen was 1,499. Guess which I picked?

@@Lcg_fgc At that price I’ll take the $300 savings 👍

Nice! I hope you get a great deal 👍

Are you referring to the one in the video? It’s awesome and I’ve never even taken the cooler off of it

@@BobOfAllTrades Yeah and what do you mean the cooler? I was just wondering if there will be any heat or throttling/performance issues in the future after buying an omen. That's cool though wow, my dell g7 didn't last long haha

“Cooler” as in the cooing solution for a repaste.

@@BobOfAllTrades Oh sweet, im glad HP has been putting thought on the temperatures for sure though, thank you Bob!

Maybe i can answer your question bro. I got HP Omen too but with Ryzen 7 4800H and RTX 2060. So what’s under the keyboard, especially under the AWSD button is the RTX 2060 with dual exhaust, and it makes half of the keyboard is cooler than the other half that got Ryzen 7 4800H under because the cpu only have one exhaust so it gets warmer.

Lie i run rpcs3 and it gets only to bout 50c or 60c ...on god of war 3

The Omen 15 is basically an HP version of the Legion 5. They perform almost exactly the same in balanced mode, but in performance mode the Legion 5's GPU can draw more power. The Legion 5's 3060 can draw 115-130w in performance mode, which is an advantage over the Omen, since the Omen 15 can only draw 100w in performance mode. The Omen 15 isn't louder, it just has a dumb max fan setting. Overall, I'd give a slight edge to the Legion 5, due to the higher power limit on the GPU, but availability is a problem in my area, so I just got the Omen 15 5800H with a 3060.

Lenovo has been caught in so many scandals where they had vulnerability in the BIOS via tracking spyware Lenovo implanted . Affected Lenovos could be easily hacked. This is a few years ago. No other company has been in so many privacy scandals as Lenovo. Lenovo is a spy machine . This is the reason I did not consider it. I also ordered custom Omen M15 Z with 5800H, RTX 3070, and QHD,.1TB Name, Win 10 Pro. That QHD alone is worth the wait.

@@NoRegret08 Oooh right, forgot about that. Well good thing I got the HP then

@@ACasualCustomer also,.I watched that they have RGB lights control in BIOS and their command software to control RGB and its glitchy . So if you uninstall their control center , you will be stuck with default lights loaded by BIOS and that laptop lights up like a Christmas tree (saw on RU-vid )

@@NoRegret08 Good point. Lenovo isn't really much worse than other Chinese brands, but like other Chinese brands there's a level of state ownership. There are plenty of non Chinese laptop brands, like HP, Dell, Acer, Asus, Samsung... Clevo is from Taiwan, so that opens up options like Sager, Eluktroniks, and XMG. There really is no excuse to buy a Chinese brand laptop, now that I've thought about it a moment.

Same here :(
