It’s deals o’clock, and the HP Store Black Friday sale is in full swing. We’ve hand-picked a selection of the finest products over in our HP Store Black Friday sales post, including the Omen Laptop 15t – which we’re going to delve into in greater detail here.
The Omen Laptop 15t is perhaps the quintessential gaming laptop. It features a 9th Gen Intel Core i5 processor, an Nvidia GTX 1650 with 4GB of GDDR5 video memory, and a speedy NVMe SSD – but that’s just for starters. The entire spec of this gaming laptop can be moulded in your image, or at least, configured for your gaming needs. You can even fit an RTX 2070 Max-Q graphics card within its sturdy, stylish chassis.
Starting out life at $699, a $300 discount off the listed price, the Omen Laptop 15t makes the perfect competitive gaming rig for any player who needs to step away from their desk every once in a while. And with an extra 5% off when you spend over $1,000 with the code HOLIDAYPC, there’s even more incentive to build out your dream machine for high-fidelity gaming.
We’d recommend at least updating the system memory to 12GB for starters – a $60 upgrade. That will ensure your system is running at its best with the full compliment of RAM channels available.
The entry-level spec also nets you a 15.6-inch 1080p display with a 60Hz refresh rate, ensuring a visually-pleasing and smooth gaming experience. That’s an IPS panel, too. For another $70, you can upgrade to a 144Hz panel for even slicker gameplay.
The on-board 256GB PCIe NVMe drive will ensure blisteringly fast loading screens for a couple of games and system responsiveness across the desktop.
Also included in the $699 price tag is a backlit, full-size keyboard with N-Key rollover. Thus ensuring every in-game shortcut or macro is available, and you don’t have to worry about unregistered key presses once the pressure ramps up. Plus, you can always connect up one of the best gaming mice or best gaming keyboards via USB or the on-board Bluetooth (courtesy of an 802.11b/g/n/ac (2×2) Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.2 networking card).
With $300 off the asking price, the Omen Laptop 15t is a fantastic proposition for any PC gamer that has places to be. Head on over to the HP Store Black Friday sale or the Omen Laptop 15t product page for the full Omen Laptop 15t specification and configurator.
