Omen 16 gaming notebooks with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 series graphics hit the sweet spot between power and portability

The Omen series includes some fascinating laptops for both casual and seasoned gamers and has been at the core of HP’s gaming lineup. These laptops pack cutting edge performance hardware wrapped in a tasteful and subtle game-centric design that most people won’t mind carrying in a professional setup. 

HP recently introduced the Omen 16 series with powerful NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 series GPUs that enable coveted gaming features like ray tracing and DLSS in compatible titles. These laptops employ 11th gen Intel processors, are fairly light, and include capable thermal – all resulting in an amazing and reliable gaming experience. 

“At HP, we are committed to innovate and design a gaming ecosystem that caters to all types of gamers – mainstream, enthusiast, and professionals. As an industry leader in the gaming segment, we are striving to meet the growing demand for PCs in India with insight based and industry-leading innovations in performance, design, thermal, and battery life. With the launch of OMEN 16, we continue to develop new technologies to provide enhanced gaming experiences to our customers,” said Vickram Bedi, Senior Director (Personal Systems) HP India Market.

GeForce RTX 30 series – A massive leap in performance

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 series GPUs are based on the Ampere architecture that offers impressive performance gains over the previous generation GPUs based on the Turing architecture. The Omen 16 series employ up to the RTX 3070 laptop GPU with 8GB RAM. These graphics cards feature NVIDIA’s second-generation ray tracing and third-generation AI-powered Deep Learning Super Sampling or DLSS rendering, technologies that are widely adopted in modern gaming. 

Further paired with up to Intel Core i7-11800H3 series processors, up to 16 GB DDR4 3200 MHz memory, and up to 1TB PCIe Gen 4×4 SSD (up to 2X storage access speeds compared to conventional SSDs), these laptops will be able to efficiently handle all 1080p games at 60 fps without breaking a sweat. 

Not just gaming, but the RTX 30 series graphics should also make these Omen 16 laptops suitable for creative professionals, developers or users aspiring for engagements like high-quality multimedia streaming.

“NVIDIA GeForce RTX™GPUs are based on our revolutionary Ampere Architecture, bringing gamers the thinnest, lightest and most powerful gaming laptops.”, said Mr Vishal Dhupar, Managing Director, South Asia, NVIDIA. “GeForce RTX laptops let gamers enjoy the most realistic ray-traced graphics and cutting-edge AI features, thus maximizing gameplay experience, in a power-packed yet light form factor”, he added.

Understated elegance 

Even while harbouring all these cutting edge internals, the Omen 16 series laptops are among the lightest gaming machines, tipping the scale at just 2.3 kgs! HP sources recycled ocean-bound plastic for several parts thus helping protect oceans and the planet.  

The floating high design that makes the screen appear to be suspended in mid-air should be quite engaging for viewers. This gorgeous 16.1-inch panel with a 16:9 aspect ratio looks vibrant and crisp and supports up to 165Hz refresh rate. 

Thermals are entrusted to the all-new OMEN Tempest Cooling Technology. True to its name, the technology boasts of an improved and efficient fan design. The blades are 2.5x slimmer and there are twice as many in number when compared to the last generation cooling fans in Omen 15. 

This remarkably improves airflow and elevates thermal efficiency which in turn ensures that you don’t lose your performance edge during those extended gaming sessions. 

Also, the battery capacity has been bumped up from 52.5 Whr in last gen models to 83 Whr, resulting in a stunning battery mileage of up to 9 hours!  

HP has been quite generous with connectivity options that most users would need. These include Thunderbolt 3 (40 Gbps signalling rate) with SuperSpeed USB Type-C, 3x SuperSpeed USB Type-A ports, RJ-45 connector, Headphone/microphone combo, Mini DisplayPort, and HDMI 2.0a port. 

Personalize your machine

The high-end internals, sleek design, efficient thermals, and amazing battery mileage together ensure an amazing gaming experience. But the icing on the cake has to be the Omen Gaming Hub that lets you fine-tune internals and personalize different performance aspects according to your specific gaming needs. 

This hub lets you customize lighting, connect with friends, and keep an eye on vital system resources. Features like Network Booster makes your gaming session a top priority and Dual Force functionality sends gaming traffic over the fastest connection to minimize latency.

Focus on what matters! 

To sum it up, the Omen series is about striking the right balance and putting weight behind aspects that do make a notable difference to the end-user experience. These are excellent no-frills machines that aim to be more in step with gamer needs rather than focusing on gimmicky extras.

These laptops employ powerful components including the RTX 30 series GPUs and incorporate effective thermals without losing their coherent disposition to style. They include a vibrant display, a decent set of connectivity options, and give users all the personalization options they need. 

OMEN 16 series laptops are available for purchase at HP world stores, HP online store & other leading large format retail & online stores at a starting price of Rs. 119,999.
