Multimedia, the HP Omen 16-b0005nf is a powerful gaming laptop creator thanks to its large amount of RAM of 32 GB and its Intel Octo Core i7 Tiger Lake-H processor that accelerate processing like the high-end graphics card GeForce RTX 3070 ray tracing NVIDIA Ampere capable of running recent games. Featuring a 16-inch IPS Full HD sRGB display with more faithful colors than average whose frequency of 144Hz improves fluidity in games, this versatile laptop designed to play and create that runs Windows 11 is also equipped with a backlit keyboard (however without numeric keypad) and connectivity with Wi-Fi ax and USB-C Thunderbolt 4.

HP Omen 16-b0005nf chassis, connectors, display
It sports an original and sober gamer look with its black Shadow Black design with angular lines.
This creator gaming laptop that can be recharged by 50% in 45 minutes has a good connectivity including 1 USB-C Thunderbolt 4, HDMI video outputs and mini-DisplayPort practical to easily connect it to a TV or monitor for example, wireless modules Bluetooth 5.2 and Wi-Fi ax (newer and more powerful than Wi-Fi ac ) to communicate and connect remotely, Ethernet and audio ports or 3 USB 3.0 (USB 2.0 compatible) ensure transfers up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 if USB 3.0 devices are connected.
We can obviously backlight the keys of the chiclet keyboard which is convenient to better discern them in the dim light. However, we regret the absence of numeric keypad while this feature is standard from 15 inches to facilitate the entry of numbers.
Thanks to its refresh rate of 144Hz, the screen improves fluidity in games compared to standard 60Hz, something to interest players. In addition, creators and more generally those who want to obtain more faithful colors than average with large vertical and horizontal viewing angles will appreciate that the screen adopts sRGB and IPS specifications. The screen also lends itself very well to the display of videos and more broadly High Definition content because it adopts a 16/9th format coupled with a Full HD definition. As it is anti-reflective, the screen also offers better visibility than a shiny slab in a bright environment (e.g. outdoors).
HP Omen 16-b0005nf performance, battery life
The HP Omen 16-b0005nf is for those who want to acquire a versatile laptop with a comfortable form factor that performs well in gaming and creation and offers a large amount of RAM.
It offers no less than 32 GB of RAM, enough to see coming in this area and accompany without worry the processor Octo Core i7-11800H Intel Tiger Lake-H.
This core ensures an overall power incommensurate with that provided by the vast majority of models on the market.
It will particularly appeal to creators because it guarantees much faster processing than 8/16 GB DDR4 as well as a Quad/Hexa Core. The difference is strongly felt in RAM and CPU intensive areas that take advantage of multi-cores, such as video editing, 3D rendering or photo editing.
Creatives will be all the more delighted that the dedicated GeForce RTX 3070 graphics card is embedded since it accelerates processing under software exploiting GPU computing power, such as Adobe Premiere/Photoshop or Sony Vegas.
Gamers, however, represent the first target of the GeForce RTX 3070 ray tracing because it is a high-end NVIDIA Ampere graphics card capable of running the latest and most graphics-intensive games at a good level of detail.
As needed, Optimus automatically switches between the Iris Xe graphics solution and the GeForce RTX 3070 in real time. The latter is enabled by NVIDIA Optimus technology to perform graphics processing deemed too heavy for the Intel Iris Xe.
Integrated directly into the Core i7, the Iris Xe allows just like the GeForce RTX 3070 to watch photos and videos but also to indulge in modest games.
The Iris Xe offers above all the advantage of consuming little energy which promotes autonomy.
In this regard, count on about 5 hours of operation on battery in light use.
On the storage side, there is an SSD with a large capacity of 1 TB able to house multiple games, software and files including personal creations.
In addition, an SSD offers several advantages compared to a simple hard drive: greater shock resistance, quiet operation, lower energy consumption or even greater velocity.
On a daily basis, the SSD ensures a much better responsiveness and fluidity than a hard drive.
Thanks to the SSD, the launches of games / software are much faster as well as processing and start/stop, or a faster arrival on the maps of online games.
Finally, keep in mind that this versatile gaming creator laptop is heard and heats up when strongly pushed (eg games, treatments), however at mastered levels for this kind of computer.
