While the design of the new HP Omen is a little less than unique, the power it offers at its starting price makes it a compelling option for those looking to buy their first gaming laptop.Of course, there are much more attractive looking machines out ther...

Back in October 2016, HP launched in the country a couple of Omen laptops – the 15.6-inch Omen 15 and the 17.3-inch Omen 17. HP has recently sent us the former for review so we can find out how it performs and if it's worthy your budget considering the ne...

My final thoughts are a bit of a mixed bag, while 2016's Omen 15 starts at a reasonable price, this top-end model doesn't quite have the display quality we'd expect and the battery life looks to be negatively affected by the 4K screen. This HP Omen 15 is...
