If you’re going to spend nearly £2,000 on a laptop, you’ve got a lot of options. There's Alienware, of course, with Dell’s gaming brand providing a lot of portable power that’s easily repurposed for creative apps. There are entries from MSI and Razer, Acer and ASUS, oh my, and that’s before we get to Apple and Microsoft, who will both liberate many thousands from your wallet if you let them.
However, HP has a good name and reputation in this sector, so its new releases are worth your attention, and the Omen Transcend 16 is the company’s thinnest and lightest gaming laptop yet. Inside, there are some good quality components too, along with a 1TB SSD which is always good to see.
