Chassis, connectors, screen of the HP Omen 17-ck2013nf

It has a relatively elegant and discreet gamer look with its black shaded aluminum design with angular lines and connectors mainly positioned on the left.

This creative gaming laptop PC integrates good connectivity including 1 USB-C Thunderbolt 4, a double HDMI video output + practical mini-DisplayPort to easily connect it to a TV or a monitor for example, Bluetooth 5.3 and Wi-Fi wireless modules. Fi 6E ax to communicate and connect remotely, Ethernet and audio ports or even 3 USB 3.0 (USB 2.0 compatible) guaranteeing transfers up to 10 times faster than in USB 2.0 if USB 3.0 devices are plugged into it.

The keys of the chiclet keyboard can be backlit, which is practical so that they can be better discerned in the dark.

The screen has a refresh rate of 240Hz, significantly higher than the standard 60Hz, which improves everyday fluidity, including in games, especially as latency is limited to 3ms. Players will appreciate it, but so will creators. Because the screen adopts a 2.5K definition higher than Full HD, which makes it very well suited to High Definition content such as videos due to its 16:9 format. Thanks to its IPS and sRGB specifications, the screen also displays significant vertical and horizontal viewing angles as well as colorimetry that is more faithful than average. Thanks to its anti-reflective treatment, the screen is also more readable than a shiny panel in a bright environment (e.g. outdoors) and more restful for the eyes during prolonged use.

Performance, autonomy of the HP Omen 17-ck2013nf

The HP Omen 17-ck2013nf may appeal to those who have a significant budget wishing to invest in a very powerful 17-inch laptop PC with its high-end graphics card and processor, including gaming and creation.

It is able to run the most recent 3D resource-intensive games at a beautiful level of detail, including future titles! And this despite the fact that the 2.5K definition of the screen requires more graphics calculations than Full HD, which implies a lower number of fps.

Because it features nothing more and nothing less than the most powerful mobile graphics card of the moment: the GeForce RTX 4090 16 GB dedicated high-end ray tracing with NVIDIA Ada Lovelace architecture.

Something to delight demanding players. But also creative people because the GeForce RTX 4090 ray tracing accelerates processing under software using GPU computing power, such as Adobe Premiere/Photoshop, VSDC or Sony Vegas.

On a daily basis, a switch is made automatically and in real time between the Iris Xe solution housed in the processor and the GeForce RTX 4090 ray tracing. NVIDIA Optimus technology takes care of this, favoring the Iris Xe as much as possible despite its significantly lower performance because it consumes little energy, which promotes autonomy.

The GeForce RTX 4090 is in any case used by Optimus when it comes to carrying out graphics work deemed too heavy for the Iris Xe, typically for gaming.

It is the Core i7-13700HX Intel Raptor Lake-HX hybrid processor which houses the Iris Xe within it. It is coupled with a large amount of 32 GB of RAM to deliver great overall power capable of attracting demanding users and seeing it coming. And which proves to be incommensurate with that provided by the vast majority of models on the market.

This heart which accompanies the GeForce RTX 4090 well in games will appeal to creative people. Because it notably guarantees much faster processing than a classic Quad/Hexa/Octo Core and 8/16 GB DDR4, the difference being particularly strong under work requiring CPU and RAM resources taking advantage of multi-core, such as in 3D rendering, video editing or photo editing.

We obviously find an SSD as a storage solution to ensure arrival faster than a hard drive on online game cards for example or even game/software launches carried out more quickly like processing and starts/stops .

Overall, the SSD ensures much greater fluidity and responsiveness in use than a hard drive.
Remember that an SSD is much faster. And offers other advantages such as lower energy consumption, quiet operation or even greater speed.
A 1 TB SSD is offered here, a very comfortable capacity for installing and storing multiple games, software and files including personal creations.

Finally, in terms of autonomy, count on around 4 hours of battery operation in light use for this versatile multimedia creative gaming laptop PC which heats up and is heard when pushed hard (eg: games, treatments).
A model that may be perfectly suitable for those looking for a student laptop particularly powerful in graphics and for whom autonomy is not the priority.

A ventilated support can be used as needed to limit temperatures (remember to check the dimensions carefully!).
