“This is lisa from mobiletechrevies” music to my ears.
isn't she? Competent and confident makes me listen
"We're going to look at it now"
Still happy with my 2018 HP omen laptop! Still runs great!
1 year old, and still runs great... Amazing!
Love watching your reviews Lisa, even if I don't want the laptop (or can't afford them).
I feel you and I agree
Just got the zenbook book pro duo. Best laptop every. I don’t think any laptop will come close to it. Love it.
I FIND that Lisa's reviews are the best on the Internet for tech, especially laptops. "X" marks the spot to point my browser, which is the MobileTechReview link.
Great review. I own the X 17
I almost went with the Alienware M15 R2 since I have use their desktops. But, I couldn't pass up this laptop. When I built it on HPs website it was around 2800 bucks. I came across it at a local electronics store for just under 1500.00. I snatched it up and love it!
Love the videos. When will you review the Microsoft new devices? SP7 and X, etc.?
Around the release date. X and the 15" laptop will come first since there are bigger changes there vs the SP7.
Thanks for responding!!!! I love your videos! I’ve learned so much from you.
So the RAM its the only overclokable thing on this laptop? By the way what about the audio quality and speakers?
Hi. sorry as I don't know where to find an answer for this: I know the omen x 2s 2nd screen allows shoeing of a snippet of the screen, but will it allow keeping fixed on the object rather than the specific part of the screen? scenario: I am flying an airplane and the mini screen stays fixed on an instrument even as I look left and right of the cockpit in my main screen (sorry is that even remotely possible?)
the hp omen x 17 gtx 1070 version comes with that same power brick instead of the square one the gtx 1080 version comes with
Will it play vanilla WoW though?
this model 1080 or 4k ? rtx ?
these days, it's lame not to include switchable gsync and optimus
Besides that it's shifted forward, you didn't really talk about HOW the keyboard is, whether it's comfortable or not. I saw quite a bit of flex in the keyboard even when you were just typing on a single key. Yikes. Otherwise, awesome review, as always! Hilarious shirt!
Hey Lisa! What's your actual laptop daily driver? Thanks.
For gaming I use an MSI GE75 Raider with RTX 2070 and Core i7.
@@mobiletechreview and what about productivity / video editing?
@@mobiletechreview How do people react when you tell them you play video games or end up in a game with you about the fact that you are, lets say, not in the age group nearly everyone else playing is?
@@mr.inconspicuous6395 I actually run into players in their 40's to 60's all the time when playing RPGs. Not so much with battle royale. Honestly, I don't think anyone over the age of 12 thinks that only kids play games.
@Deep Inside Huh. How so?
Nice video cool
Does this use the 80 or 90w variant of the rtx 2080MQ?
Same question. Have you ever found that out?
Aren't the liquid metal cooling compounds best for people that like to get into their hardware now and again? From what I see on videos where they use the liquid metals is that they should be RR'd every couple of years. Is that true, or is that just some people being overly conservative about it?
Hard to say since there isn't a huge amount of long term data yet. But many traditional thermal pastes dry and need replacing after a few years anyhow (granted, they're easier to remove though). IC Diamond lasts a good long time, and it's my go to when I re-paste my own laptops.
15,6" 1080P 240Hz✔️ RTX2080. MAX-Q✔️2TB SSD✔️64GB RAM✔️i9-9880H✔️6" 2nd Screen✔️2,4KG✔️
Greetings can ram upgrade in this model, 32 gb ram would increase this model ( Notebook HP OMEN 15 15-dh0700nd 7GM73EA rtx 2080 16 gb ram i7 9750 244 hz model )
Does it comes with a 12000 btu air conditioner needed to avoid overheating 🥵
I wish it didn't look so goophy. A lot of pros use gaming laptops too. Certainly would not show up to a meeting with that Omen. Other than that, cool video as always.
Amen to that
Yea, this really looks like an inferior Zenbook Pro Duo (with the only real plus being a more powerful GPU).
I have the Omen 15t with the i9 and 2080MQ. Supposedly with stock paste and it runs cool. HP have ot configured so that the CPU doesn't pull a crazy amount of watts. Initially when I got it would pull about 70w and hold 4Ghz, they updated the Comnand Center and now you are looking at 35 to 45w . I use Throttlestop to lock in 4 Ghz with a -138mv undervolt and I render my videos with all 8 cores at 4 Ghz and it doesnt go above 74 Deg C even on auto fan. I saw the two screen model in Microcenter and I must admit the screen was small and I could not see much use for it. My 15t is cheaper and runs cool too. Great review Lisa !
Command Center update halved the watts? My word.
@@mobiletechreview yes, I was one of the first people to buy one and I was stoked to see it averaging 86w in my handbrake encode and beating my 8700k. Breaking the 4000 point mark in CB R20, then the update came. Others reported the same but it was a good thing really , it was averaging 93 degrees in that handbrake run with max fans. Just too many watts. So they adjusted the PL1 and PL2 values. They do put the backs on tightly. I managed to get in OK. Suction cup helps 👍
Desktop master race
very aggressive choice on liquid metal, so far, every 1 year+ review of liquid metal ( mostly PC ) ate up some of the heatsink contact surface - ok-ish on PCs with standardized heatsinks. So here's hoping it doesn't become a premature trend ( until we see more evidence of good long term stability of liquid metal )
Please tell us about that shirt

Would love to see a professional and robust looking laptop from hp that can game. But they just keep on making the same plasticky looking childish omen. Super iffy hinges as usual. Even the razer is still too out there to be actually clean and unobtrusive looking. I don't know anyone who actually likes gaming laptop designs, other than when they are going through some rebellious phase, and then they regret it straight after.
Give it to me.
The dam is breaking
Thank you Asus for opening the market to a whole new era finally. After all the wanna bies are done goofing around we will see what the industry settles on as standards acceptable across builds. I'm voting for full size zero bezel dual 15" touchscreens with no tactile keys at all. Ill use a wireless keyboard if I want touch feedback.
hiii
that asus looks way better
Second screen doesn't look nearly as useful as the one on the Asus does.
It looks so unclean tbh
god, it's so ugly, it’s like buying a bmw with the smaller screen and big side bezels
lol what a ridiculous machine
gimmicky as hell
Really ugly laptop which is a shame... I'm not a big fan of HP's design although they are slowly coming out with nicer hardware.
Throttling and on liquid metal. No, thanks HP.
So stupid idea.
