HP HyperX Omen 16 review: One of the fastest AMD CPUs for mainstream gamers

[Redaktion]

Despite reusing the same chassis design and ports as the 2025 Omen 16, the 2026 model introduces a stronger CPU, faster and higher resolution display, and a cleaner keyboard layout that even occasional gamers can appreciate. Moreover, the Valorant Edition skin is surprisingly attractive on an otherwise midrange model.

with full sRGB colors

why mention full sRGB coverage as a pro? it's a standard from 1999, superseded by Display P3 in 2015..

the display is also not a real/true 240 Hz one: with pixel response times of 5.6ms and 10.7ms, it's really a, 1/0.0056 = 178 Hz and 1/0.00107 = 93 Hz, one.

and, ofc, the elephant in the room: 8 GB VRAM for 2250 bucks (youtube.com/watch?v=ric7yb1VaoA ("Gaming Laptops are in Trouble - VRAM Testing w/ ‪@Hardwareunboxed‬")).

one could get a (Apple Refurb) MacBook Air (lighter/more portable, better display, ..) + a 12 GB VRAM desktop PC (faster, more VRAM, upgradable, quieter, reparable, ..) for about the same price.
