I tested the HyperX Omen 15, and it almost made me forget my PS5
The HyperX Omen 15 pairs a subtle design and crisp OLED with good RTX 5070 gaming performance. Battery life, fan noise, and bloat keep it from perfection.
I recently tested HP’s HyperX Omen 15, and it almost made me forget my PlayStation 5. This laptop isn’t just another gaming rig; it’s one of HP’s flagship gaming laptops. The HyperX branding might sound like a mouthful, but this machine packs some serious gaming performance. While the RTX 5070 with 8GB VRAM may seem limiting, you’ll still get solid gaming performance without needing high frame rates.
This laptop boasts a sleek design, even if it doesn’t match up to some of the flashier options on the market. It also features a gorgeous OLED display, which is a standout feature. As someone who primarily plays on consoles, after a week of testing this laptop, I found myself spending more time with it than on my PS5. However, like most gaming laptops, it does have its drawbacks.
It runs hot and loud, and the battery life leaves something to be desired. But overall, despite these issues, it’s still one of the best gaming laptops for the price. In my full review, you’ll find out why.
