00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:08.200
14-in gaming laptops are the new hotness and this right here just might be the

00:00:05.319 --> 00:00:13.799
best one this is the HP Omen transcend 14 and it's oh not how I thought the box

00:00:12.040 --> 00:00:18.080
was going to open and it's got headphones in the Box here we've got the

00:00:16.039 --> 00:00:23.199
hyperx cloud 3s and there's actually an integrated wireless dongle inside of the

00:00:20.680 --> 00:00:27.760
omen transcend 14 so these right here you can pair without having to put in a

00:00:25.039 --> 00:00:33.040
stupid little take up your USB type A or anything like that that said though this

00:00:30.080 --> 00:00:39.760
is an optional extra okay laptop can go over here it in here

00:00:37.079 --> 00:00:45.680
oh plug in the laptop hit the power button you're good to

00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:47.760
go for the charger we get this 140 W

00:00:45.680 --> 00:00:51.840
brick and it is delivering that power over USB type-c which I really

00:00:50.199 --> 00:00:55.600
appreciate although I also would appreciate if this was just a little bit

00:00:53.640 --> 00:01:00.079
smaller this is a really heavy Breck all right let's have a look at the main

00:00:56.879 --> 00:01:02.120
event here ooh

00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:07.799
now this does come in both black and white and I would really recommend the

00:01:04.559 --> 00:01:10.159
white one just because look at this look

00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:16.439
at that wow they're using the same coating that

00:01:13.600 --> 00:01:22.520
Razer has meaning that it's just oh my God you touch this thing just for a

00:01:19.240 --> 00:01:29.159
second and it looks gnarly all right

00:01:22.520 --> 00:01:31.600
3.68 lb not too bad or 1.67 kg what is

00:01:29.159 --> 00:01:36.479
quite decent for a 14-in gaming laptop is the I/O on the right here we have two

00:01:33.960 --> 00:01:40.320
USB type A's to make sure that the wire always hits your mouse if you're using a

00:01:38.119 --> 00:01:45.079
wired one on the back we have a USB type-c that has display out and power

00:01:42.399 --> 00:01:50.280
delivery and HDMI 2.1 that's wired directly to your dedicated graphics card

00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:52.479
for extra fpss on the left we have a

00:01:50.280 --> 00:01:58.520
single Thunderbolt 4 and a headphone microphone combo Jack one thing I am

00:01:54.799 --> 00:02:01.240
noticing here is they have a lot of heat

00:01:58.520 --> 00:02:06.240
sink in the back of this it isn't quite like some of those ASUS ones that go all

00:02:03.399 --> 00:02:08.799
the way across but it goes pretty much all the way

00:02:09.479 --> 00:02:15.640
across I do have to say this is quite a

00:02:13.160 --> 00:02:22.200
good looking little laptop it's made out of all aluminum on the chassis it is

00:02:18.959 --> 00:02:25.640
very very solid I can really Reef on it

00:02:22.200 --> 00:02:28.200
right here display oh also very so whole

00:02:25.640 --> 00:02:33.200
laptop's walking instead of that bending it does really have that r laser blade

00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:38.080
look although I'm not 100% if I'm sold on the look of the keyboard This has

00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:42.440
sort of a toy like experience especially once we turn it on but overall I do

00:02:40.360 --> 00:02:46.920
think they have done a really good job let's do every laptop Maker's favorite

00:02:44.599 --> 00:02:50.480
test or I just push on the laptop really hard it's it's a little bit soft there

00:02:49.040 --> 00:02:55.200
on the left of the trackpad that's that's actually quite a bit of deflection it doesn't really matter

00:02:53.040 --> 00:02:59.120
there keyboard though really stable everything around the keyboard excellent

00:02:57.760 --> 00:03:02.959
there's almost no space between these Keys which makes it really nice and

00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:07.360
smooth you just run your finger across it just like your balls with our sponsor

00:03:05.799 --> 00:03:11.319

use code circuit for 20% off and free

00:03:47.640 --> 00:03:53.959
shipping looking at the specs we have quite a quick little machine on our

00:03:51.760 --> 00:03:59.799
hands so for processing that is handled by an Intel Core Ultra 7 155h that is

00:03:57.760 --> 00:04:06.040
six performance cores eight efficiency cores and two low power efficiency cores

00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:07.079
for memory we have 16 GB of ddr5 running

00:04:06.040 --> 00:04:11.599
at 7467 megga transfers per second so that

00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:19.199
is wicked fast and also means you definitely cannot upgrade it for an SSD

00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:22.160
we have a 1 TB Joey from WD Intel Wi-Fi 7

00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:28.840
love to see that npu because everybody needs Ai and an RTX 4060 now this does

00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:32.919
come with up to a 4070 and there's a 4050 available as well and I am a little

00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:38.199
bit sad that they didn't give us the 4070 model so that we could really

00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:41.120
Apples to Apples compare it with the G14

00:04:38.199 --> 00:04:46.240
that we have here so maybe in the future we'll look at those side by side but for

00:04:43.520 --> 00:04:50.440
now we cannot verify hp's claims that this is the best cooled 14-in gaming

00:04:48.520 --> 00:04:54.560
laptop what we can verify though is that this screen is sick top down it doesn't

00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:58.520
look nearly as good as it does with my eyeball I am seeing a lot of glare too I

00:04:56.960 --> 00:05:04.199
can really see my shirt which is surprising cuz it's also very bright

00:05:01.160 --> 00:05:07.320
this thing right here goes up to 650

00:05:04.199 --> 00:05:10.400
nits and that is full screen window

00:05:07.320 --> 00:05:11.680
brightness which is just incredible I

00:05:10.400 --> 00:05:16.160
say this every time that we have OLED in here OLED just looks really freaking

00:05:14.039 --> 00:05:22.440
good and this is no exception it also goes up to 120 htz and down to 48

00:05:19.960 --> 00:05:26.560
although sadly it does not have g-sync it's just doing power saving with

00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:30.800
dropping the frame rates it's not actually making your games nice and

00:05:28.120 --> 00:05:35.400
smooth like you would get on the G14 now our Labs did test this display and it's

00:05:33.280 --> 00:05:41.240
a little bit interesting we weren't able to find any color profiles for it so by

00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:46.039
default everything in SDR is pretty oversaturated as it just kind of moves

00:05:43.840 --> 00:05:50.800
out into the much larger color space that this thing is able to produce but

00:05:48.479 --> 00:05:56.600
that said if you just whacker into HDR and Windows it's great even in SDR

00:05:53.680 --> 00:06:01.759
content the accuracy is way better when you have Windows and HDR and your HDR

00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:06.880
content is some of the most accurate we have ever seen on a laptop what might be

00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:11.560
my least favorite part of this laptop though is the keyboard which is very

00:06:09.639 --> 00:06:16.560
unfortunate not because it's bad it's actually absolutely fantastic we'll get

00:06:13.560 --> 00:06:18.639
said that in a sec but it looks

00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:24.960
stupid I I I shouldn't say that I shouldn't say that it looks kind of like

00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:26.520
a toy I thought this was like a $800

00:06:24.960 --> 00:06:31.400
laptop and then I actually felt it I was like oh wow that's aluminum those keys

00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:34.080
are great has an OLED screen oh this is actually really nice it's just

00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:39.120
unfortunate that that very first thing that you see are these Jelly Bean

00:06:36.520 --> 00:06:42.599
looking things the good news is though it's fantastic to type

00:06:48.479 --> 00:06:54.240
on it's not my favorite keyboard that

00:06:51.599 --> 00:06:59.360
I've ever typed on before a gaming laptop it is excellently tuned you can

00:06:56.479 --> 00:07:06.599
be wicked fast on these Keys cuz they have a nice low actuation force and you

00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:06.599
can just absolutely

00:07:06.919 --> 00:07:13.080
rip for Pure typing I would give it a

00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:17.720
very solid a and when you factor in that this is a gaming laptop the lightness of

00:07:15.400 --> 00:07:23.039
those keys brings it also well it's still an A but I really really like it

00:07:20.960 --> 00:07:28.120
the trackpad that's below it is also fantastic it's sort of just a trackpad

00:07:25.879 --> 00:07:32.280
there's nothing standout about it but at the same time it hasn't annoyed me at at

00:07:29.639 --> 00:07:38.199
all the tracking is accurate has a nice satisfying click here even if it isn't

00:07:34.759 --> 00:07:40.599
like a new Force touch fancy thing it

00:07:38.199 --> 00:07:45.960
does the job before we start gaming I just want to do my PSA of turn off

00:07:43.800 --> 00:07:52.039
enhanced Point Precision it makes you worse at gaming this right here the 4060

00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:53.960
clearly is not the most powerful thing

00:07:52.039 --> 00:07:58.599
that we have ever had in this office but at the same time it's doing a pretty

00:07:55.759 --> 00:08:06.720
decent job this laptop is nice and quiet we're able to get 77 FPS in cyber Punk

00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:08.759
113 in F1 2023 and 58 in Total War

00:08:06.720 --> 00:08:13.199
Warhammer now it is too bad that we aren't able to really compare this cuz

00:08:10.599 --> 00:08:18.919
this has the 4060 and our other laptops of similar size have 407s but at the

00:08:15.080 --> 00:08:18.919
same time seems pretty good

00:08:19.879 --> 00:08:25.110
overall all right the whole laptop's vibrating it's

00:08:24.520 --> 00:08:28.199
kind of

00:08:28.199 --> 00:08:34.880
fun that's pretty solid it gets pretty nice and low I can hear the highs and

00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:40.039
the mids and the bass all at the same time which is kind of rare on a laptop

00:08:38.039 --> 00:08:46.800
this seems really quite excellent Omen transcend

00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:49.399
then all right

00:08:46.800 --> 00:08:53.680
yeah macbook's way better that's not surprising the macbook's really good if

00:08:51.480 --> 00:08:57.200
they had a touchcreen on this I would recommend it over all of the other

00:08:55.279 --> 00:09:05.640
gaming laptops but what I can recommend though look at that contrast

00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:09.480
ratio freaking OLED love it the webcam

00:09:05.640 --> 00:09:12.120
on here is 2.1 megapixels 1080P and also

00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:18.600
has Windows hello up in there so you can log in with just your face and my face

00:09:15.360 --> 00:09:21.320
looks really red on this actually and

00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:26.440
now blown out it's not super well exposed for it looks sharp and I look

00:09:23.640 --> 00:09:31.160
very shiny I am completely blown out here and I don't think that my face

00:09:28.920 --> 00:09:35.920
looks like that at all of course we do have Windows Studio Effects in here

00:09:33.079 --> 00:09:40.079
because AI so we can blur the background we can have it so I'm always making eye

00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:44.880
contact with you even though I'm actually not and we can do automatic

00:09:42.560 --> 00:09:50.000
framing so I can go over here and maybe it yeah it zooms in on me just like that

00:09:47.560 --> 00:09:54.160
so you can see oh wow the colors look kind of correct way over here for some

00:09:51.920 --> 00:09:58.320
reason okay it seems like it might just really struggle with that light no I'm

00:09:56.760 --> 00:10:02.120
out of the light and I still look like a tomato just dark

00:09:59.920 --> 00:10:07.040
four Phillips head screws later and we can get in and see that absolutely

00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:13.760
massive Vapor chamber it's still kind of warm they call this The Omen Tempest

00:10:09.560 --> 00:10:15.519
cooling go and it uh has a fair bit of

00:10:13.760 --> 00:10:20.279
dust in here actually given how long this thing has existed look at that I

00:10:18.120 --> 00:10:23.720
guess it's fine because it's gasketed so it's just staying in here instead of

00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:28.079
going all through your device like it probably would otherwise in here we do

00:10:25.399 --> 00:10:35.440
have an SSD that is removable and according to C

00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:37.800
31415 he has commented that many times

00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:43.959
seeing if I can fit a double-sided SSD in there and so let's try it out H okay

00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:47.839
okay I guess this is a good test because that's what it should be doing just flat

00:10:46.160 --> 00:10:55.560
like that and then if we take our double-sided SSD Chuck it in here Eco

00:10:53.079 --> 00:11:00.519
boing not ideal but if you really want to force it you can all right buddy was

00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:05.959
correct I'll leave this SS here try it in the future now besides the SSD you

00:11:03.040 --> 00:11:11.959
can upgrade nothing the Wi-Fi card unaccessible RAM not accessible what is

00:11:09.040 --> 00:11:17.800
great in here though is the battery in our Labs testing we able to get 10 hours

00:11:14.920 --> 00:11:22.560
and 2 minutes out of this thing which is absolutely fantastic on a gaming laptop

00:11:21.040 --> 00:11:27.320
like this especially one with an OLED screen that is that beautiful now if you

00:11:24.680 --> 00:11:31.839
do fully load it you can get just under an hour of battery life but you probably

00:11:29.680 --> 00:11:36.959
aren't doing combuster all day so if you have a laptop that you want to just do

00:11:33.959 --> 00:11:38.920
all of your gaming and going to school

00:11:36.959 --> 00:11:45.440
it's nice and light keyboard's great screen's fantastic this is a really good

00:11:42.000 --> 00:11:47.880
jack of all trades 14-in laptop and what

00:11:45.440 --> 00:11:50.959
is also pretty good is the price the one that we got right here that came with

00:11:49.399 --> 00:11:56.839
the headphones these guys right here is

00:11:54.560 --> 00:12:03.639
$1,889 although if you don't want the headphones included this will be $6 $100

00:12:00.519 --> 00:12:05.880
it also has been going on sale already

00:12:03.639 --> 00:12:11.920
so maybe you can get a good little deal on it so overall HP Omen transcend 14 I

00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:17.120
think it's an absolutely fantastic laptop it is going to struggle a little

00:12:14.519 --> 00:12:21.480
bit differentiating itself from the competition but at the same time it's

00:12:19.480 --> 00:12:25.920
pretty freaking good if you get one but of course it's not as good as you my

00:12:23.440 --> 00:12:30.320
dear viewers hit like get subscribed and just have a great old day I'll see you

00:12:27.959 --> 00:12:30.320
later
