The HP Omen 16 is a classy-looking gaming PC with strong performance and room to upgrade. But it has room to improve with a mushy touchpad and a webcam that doesn't meet flagship standards.

The HP Omen 16 is a more mature kind of gaming laptop, perfect for those who like to play games but would never wear a Fortnite hoodie out of the house. It is well-specced for 1080p play, although some of you might want to consider the step-up Nvidia RTX 3060 version instead.
