HP OMEN Gaming Laptop 16" QHD 2560 x 1440 pixels, AMD Ryzen 7, 16 GB RAM, 1TB SSD, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti £ 971.63 @ Amazon

Agreed with the above, usually decent pricing and performance, although typically with the 17" models, no mux, the GPU is on with no Optimus equivalent. I'm not sure if that's the case with this 16", but the 17" models also used to come with the full fat, full wattage GPU, undercutting the likes of MSI, Asus and Dell by a considerable margin for the performance, although CPU cooling was often not as good as the GPU!
I'm using a Lenovo right now but had a good experience with the 4 omens in the household we have owned so would go back in future if it was the best option at purchase again. (edited)

before you decide on the Ome do a quick check and see if they are still havig all the problems with the keyboard. I'm writing this o y 2021 Omen 15 ad as you ca see i' missing a few keys. (I have't corrected or edited the tet in this coment so you ca see the proble) Its very wide spread and HP are doing othing. (edited)

I warn you that these hp omen 16 may have the touchpad not working properly, on reddit and the hp forum is full of testimonies about it and hp seems not to be interested in fixing the problem.
After sending mine in for warranty repair it came back to me with the same defect and scratches that it did not have before.

Seems like this is full fat desktop grade gpu, not maxQ. Can draw full 150w!!!

Has this got cheaper?
£971.63????

On raw specs this seems to tick all the boxes: 16gb ram and 1tb ssd - perfect. Ryzen 7 fab. QHD display accompanied by a 3070Ti - good match. And all this sub £1000….

Just wary of the comments about overheating, keyboard and trackpad issues…. Are these the reasons for the ‘perfect’ spec at this price-point….?

Still got mine 17" 2080Super , 2020 model and paid £1450. Still going strong.

Anyone kind enough to advise how this Ryzen/3070ti compares to the previous Dell Intel/4060 deal. I ordered the Dell for similar price (Amex deal) but wonder if this HP is a better option hotukdeals.com/sha…545

What a deal. I am guessing this performs in line with a fat 3070 mobile but more efficiently.

So I've just ordered this for my Nephew.
The main complaint with this seems to be the fans constantly spinning-up and the laptop overheating. To lessen the impact of this, would it be better to play games on lower settings and perhaps stick to 1080p resolution. I know that kind defeats the point of having higher specs to some extent, but he's quite young and I don't think he'd mind the loss of visual fidelity if the fans were less annoying.

Also, if this is connected up to a bigger screen, with the laptop screen off/closed, is that likely to affect the thermals?

Has anyone received theirs?
