I say it every time I review an HP Omen gaming laptop, but this range will always have a special place in my heart. My very first rig was an RTX 1050 HP Omen 15, in all its chunky metallic form. The 2024 HP Omen 17 could not be further from those days. Yes, it’s still a hefty device, but gone are the red accents, textured lids, and angular decals - this is a slab of black plastic prioritizing performance over flashy external sing-song. Marrying an 8000-Series AMD processor with an Nvidia RTX 4070 GPU, it’s just on the cusp of mid-range, offering big-screen play without the hefty price tag of most 18-inch devices. The best gaming laptops pair form with functionality, and the HP Omen 17 falls short of the competition in one of these areas.
