Chassis, connections, screen of the HP Omen 16-ap0044nf

Its angular Celestial Black design with connections positioned on 3 sides gives it a relatively sober look for a gaming model whose codes it adopts.

The connectivity integrated into this multimedia gaming laptop PC is good, made up of Ethernet and audio ports, an HDMI video output thanks to which it can easily be connected to a TV or a monitor in particular, latest generation Bluetooth 5.4 and Wi-Fi 6 ax wireless modules to communicate and connect remotely but also 3 USB including 1 fast as well as USB-C practical for connecting peripherals such as a mouse, a headset, a game controller, an external storage medium, a printer or SIN.

When you are not using the webcam, you can hide it behind a privacy shutter, which is reassuring for your privacy.

The chiclet keyboard obviously comes with a backlighting solution that you just need to activate whenever you need to better discern the keys.

To appeal to gamers, the screen is adorned with a refresh rate of 240Hz significantly higher than the 60Hz standard to provide great overall fluidity, including in games.
In addition, the screen adopts 2.5K High Definition associated with more faithful than average sRGB colorimetry but also significant viewing angles, both horizontally and vertically, thanks to its IPS technology.
With its 16/10th format, higher than the classic 16/9th, the screen displays more elements than average vertically while its anti-reflective coating ensures better visibility in a bright environment (e.g. outdoors) than a shiny panel.

To exploit the full capabilities of this laptop, you must install a complete operating system, such as a Linux or Windows distribution.

NVIDIA Optimus technology can thus be activated to determine in real time the graphics resources necessary for the successful completion of the tasks carried out.
When the performance of the graphics module inserted in the processor proves insufficient, Optimus automatically switches to the dedicated graphics card, both of which of course allow you to watch HD photos and videos, including streaming.

The integrated solution is used as much as possible by Optimus even though its performance is significantly lower because it consumes little energy, which favors autonomy compared to the second, more demanding and powerful solution.

Performance, autonomy of the HP Omen 16-ap0044nf

The HP Omen 16-ap0044nf may appeal to those looking for a powerful, gaming-oriented multimedia multipurpose laptop PC equipped with high-end components and offering the choice of operating system.

This laptop is driven by an AMD Ryzen 9 8940HX processor Dragon Range high-end with its 16 high-performance cores in addition to its Radeon 610M module, supported by a large amount of RAM of 32 GB, or 100% more than the average.
The great overall power that this duo provides will delight the most demanding users, because it is incommensurable with that offered by the vast majority of models on the market.

These components will particularly delight creative people since they carry out processing much faster than a Quad/Hexa/Octo Core and 16/24 GB DDR4/5. We strongly feel the difference under CPU and RAM resource-intensive work taking advantage of multi-cores, such as video editing, 3D rendering or photo editing.

And if they use applications that take advantage of GPU computing power, creators will be even more interested because their processing will then benefit from the graphics acceleration provided by the dedicated on-board graphics card. This is particularly the case under the Adobe, Vegas or VSDC suite.

Equipped with NVIDIA architecture Blackwellthe GeForce RTX 5060 ray tracing is a latest generation high-end dedicated graphics card thanks to which gamers can play recent games.
However, some concessions are necessary under the heaviest opuses in 3D resources to obtain good playability.
In fact, playing in 2.5K requires more graphics calculations than in Full HD, which results in a lower number of fps.

The storage is up to par since it is entrusted to a silent, energy-efficient and very fast SSD with a high capacity of 1000 GB capable of storing quantities of games, software and files such as personal creations.

On a daily basis, the SSD clearly contributes to making this multimedia gaming laptop PC responsive and fluid.
This means you can quickly access online game maps while launching games/applications, carrying out processing or even starting/stopping is quick.

We appreciate the scalable aspect of this configuration which offers a free M.2 slot to insert a second SSD if necessary in the future.

As for autonomy, count on around 5 hours of battery operation in light use (with Optimus, around 2 times less without) for this versatile multimedia gaming laptop PC which is noisy when pushed hard (e.g. games, treatments) for the benefit of temperatures which remain well controlled in these conditions.
