Chassis, connections, screen of the HP Omen 17-db0114nf

With its Celestial Black Logo design in black chrome paint finish with angular lines and connectors positioned mainly at the back, this versatile gaming and creation-oriented laptop has a rather discreet gamer look.

This creative gaming laptop PC integrates good connectivity including 1 USB-C, a practical HDMI video output to easily connect it to a TV or monitor for example, audio and Ethernet ports, Bluetooth 5.3 and Wi-Fi wireless modules 6 axes for communicating and connecting remotely as well as 3 USB 3.0 (USB 2.0 compatible) guaranteeing transfers up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 if you connect USB 3.0 devices.

The chiclet keyboard has a backlighting solution that you simply activate whenever you need to better discern your keys.

Players will appreciate that the screen adopts a frequency of 144Hz higher than the standard 60Hz, because it clearly improves fluidity in games and more generally in everyday life.

Performance, autonomy of the HP Omen 17-db0114nf

The HP Omen 17-db0114nf may appeal to those looking for a versatile 17-inch laptop PC that performs well in creative-oriented gaming.

Thanks to this gaming laptop PC you can play recent games.
Because it features the dedicated high-end NVIDIA Ada Lovelace GeForce RTX 4060 ray tracing graphics card.

The GeForce RTX 4060 will therefore be of interest to gamers. But also the creators.
Because in applications using GPU computing power, it accelerates multimedia processing. This is for example the case with the Adobe, Vegas or VSDC suite.

NVIDIA Optimus technology automatically activates/deactivates the GeForce RTX 4060 in real time depending on the tasks performed.

In practice Optimus favors operation on the Radeon 860M graphics module inserted in the processor as much as possible. And this while its performance is much lower because it consumes little energy, which promotes autonomy.
Expect approximately 6 hours of battery operation in light use. Some looking for a Student laptop high-performance, large-format designer gamers may be interested… if the thickness and weight don't put them off. Obviously, this model is much less easily transportable than an Ultrabook.

Still, the GeForce RTX 4060 is used by Optimus to carry out graphics work deemed too heavy for the Radeon 860M, typically for gaming.

The Radeon 860M takes place in the Ryzen 5 8645HS, AMD processor Hawk Point Hexa Core which delivers solid general performance capable of satisfying a maximum of users, supported by 16 GB of RAM.

The GeForce RTX 4060 is well supported in games by this heart which will delight creators. Because it provides faster processing than a Quad Core in areas demanding CPU and RAM resources taking advantage of multi-core. This is for example the case in photo editing, video editing or 3D rendering.

HP opts for an SSD in terms of storage of course since it is robust, silent, energy efficient and fast, which clearly reinforces responsiveness and fluidity on a daily basis.
So thanks to the SSD we quickly reach the online game cards while starting/stopping, processing and launching games/software are done quickly.

A 512 GB SSD is integrated here, a solution found in many models on the market.
However, if additional space is needed, an external storage module can be used. To obtain fast transfers, you should preferably opt for a USB 3.0/USB-C device.

Finally, in the event of heavy loads (e.g. games, processing), expect this versatile creative-oriented gaming laptop to heat up and make itself heard.
We can add to it in addition a ventilated support to limit its temperatures (remember to check the dimensions carefully!).
