When you need to better discern the keys, you can simply activate the backlighting of the chiclet keyboard.

The screen has a refresh rate of 144Hz which clearly improves fluidity in games and more generally in everyday life compared to the standard 60Hz.
The Full HD screen is suitable for videos due to its 16:9 format and also benefits from more faithful than average sRGB colorimetry as well as significant vertical and horizontal viewing angles thanks to its IPS technology.

Performance, autonomy of the HP Omen 17-db0105nf

The HP Omen 17-db0105nf is aimed at those looking for a versatile large format laptop that performs well in gaming and creation.

This creative gaming laptop is powered by a high-end processor, the AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS Octo Core Hawk Point in which the Radeon 780M graphics module takes place. It is here coupled with 16 GB of RAM to provide great overall power which will appeal to demanding users.

And in particular creative people because this duo deploys its potential in areas demanding CPU and RAM resources using multi-cores, such as video editing, photo editing or 3D rendering.
With this type of work, we obtain faster multimedia processing than with a Quad/Hexa Core.

Processing is also accelerated by the onboard GeForce RTX 4060 graphics card. And this under software that takes advantage of GPU computing power, such as VSDC, the Adobe suite or Vegas.

Featuring the NVIDIA Ada Lovelace architecture, the GeForce RTX 4060 ray tracing is a high-end dedicated graphics card allowing you to play recent games which will delight gamers.

Depending on needs, NVIDIA Optimus technology automatically switches in real time between the Radeon 780M and the GeForce RTX 4060. The latter is activated by NVIDIA Optimus technology to carry out graphics processing deemed too heavy for the Radeon 780M.

Whether with the Radeon 780M or the GeForce RTX 4060, you can watch photos and videos. Low energy consumption, the Radeon 780M is favored as much as possible by Optimus because it promotes autonomy which is established here at around 6 hours of battery operation in light use.
Which may interest some people looking for a Student laptop high-performance 17-inch creative gamer for whom lightness and finesse are not criteria of choice.

The SSD storage guarantees rapid game/software launches as well as processing, starts/stops or even arrival on online game cards.

Generally speaking, the SSD provides great responsiveness and fluidity on a daily basis because it is fast. And offers other advantages: low energy consumption, silent operation and even robust design.

Here we find a 512 GB SSD, like many models on the market.
However, if you need more space, you can obviously rely on an external storage device, preferably USB 3.0/USB-C type to benefit from fast transfers.

Finally, expect heat and noise from this versatile creative-oriented gaming laptop when it is pushed hard (e.g. games, processing).
To contain its temperatures, we can associate it with a ventilated support (remember to check the dimensions carefully!).
