Why you should buy the HP Omen 16-inch gaming laptop

HP isn’t one of the best gaming laptop brands, but it does feature in our look at the best laptop brands thanks to its stylish designs. With the HP Omen 16-inch gaming laptop, you get an AMD Ryzen 5 7640HS processor teamed up with 16GB of memory and 512GB of SSD storage. More importantly is its graphics card — an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050 with 6GB of dedicated VRAM. Combined, these are all the specs you need for some basic but respectable gaming on the move.

Performance wise, this particular HP Omen 16-inch won’t compete with the best gaming laptops, but there’s still a lot to love here. One big highlight is its 16.1-inch full HD screen with 1920 x 1080 resolution and 144Hz refresh rate. It also has 250 nits of brightness and anti-glare properties. Its high refresh rate means you won’t have to worry about motion blur no matter how fast-moving the game you’re playing is. Above it is an HP Wide Vision 720p HD camera with integrated dual array digital microphones, and there’s audio by Bang & Olufsen and DTS:X Ultra support.

Even the keyboard is pretty cool with a full-size 4-zone RGB backlit keyboard with 26-key rollover anti-ghosting key technology. It all comes together to mean that the HP Omen is a pretty stylish looking gaming laptop that is well-suited for anyone looking for a more budget friendly option that still provides some of the latest gaming technology.

The HP Omen 16-inch gaming laptop normally costs $1,300. Right now, you can buy it from HP for $500 off so it’s down to a much more affordable $800. Check it out now by tapping the button below, but bear in mind that it’s unlikely to stay at this price for very long.

Asus’ powerful new gaming laptop with a 240Hz Mini LED display makes its global debut
The 2026 ROG Strix G18 pairs up to RTX 5080 graphics with an Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus CPU
ROG Strix G18 (2026) laptop

Asus has started rolling out the 2026 ROG Strix G18 globally, and the easiest way to describe it is as a slightly toned-down version of the ridiculous ROG Strix Scar 18. It keeps the same 24-core Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus processor but tops out at an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop GPU instead of the Scar’s RTX 5090. (via Notebookcheck)

Every app on my phone has decided I need AI, and none of them bothered to ask
AI assistants are invading everything from photo libraries to messaging apps, and dismissing them only seems to guarantee they’ll return later.
Electronics, Phone, Mobile Phone

My wife doesn’t use AI very much. She isn’t philosophically opposed to it, nor is she waiting for the machines to overthrow civilization. She simply opens Google Photos because she wants to look at her photos.

Lately, however, the app keeps greeting her with invitations to try its AI tools. Google would very much like her to search her library conversationally, generate something new, or ask Gemini to edit a photo. She dismisses the prompt, gets on with her life, and eventually meets it again.

Shopping for Back-to-school? These are the gaming laptops I’d recommend
Powerful enough for AAA games, practical enough for everyday lectures, assignments, and everything in between.

Every gamer knows the pain of trying to do too much with the wrong hardware. Back-to-School is the perfect excuse to fix that. A good gaming laptop shouldn’t just hit high frame rates -- it should also survive endless browser tabs, assignments, coding sessions, video edits, and everything else college throws at it. These five machines strike that balance better than most, which is exactly why they’d be my picks this semester.
