With an RTX 2080 MaxQ and i7 9750H, the HP Omen X 2S is a VERY powerful gaming laptop.

I spent HOURS trying to use that zoomed sniper scope feature. Do you think there's a game that would make use of this? Thanks for watching!
Dave Lee Of course. Insurgency Sandstorm, put a 1x scope, make it 4x and save points for better stuff. Stonks
I don't think that it is useful for any kind of fps game. However, it might be good for a turn-based strategy or something like that, just to make certain elements of the ui bigger.
As you said it would be a little bit distracting to focus to the main screen , I think the secondary screen might be useful other than in gaming
why is your video only on 1080p, urs used to be in 4k!
CSGO just for a simple situation where you hold a tight angle. Can you try to re-apply the liquid metal it would be funny to see if they had messed up the application?
taking stream sniping to a whole new level.
Aadi Kothari Gorp sniping
ANY TRUER ?
Lol
Aadi Kothari OMG
this is the only useful function of the second screen actually :))
this is basically an even bigger Nintendo Ds
FUCK that was my idea

Thank you for your honesty. I really appreciate that you also talk about the efficiency of cooling, which is very important, but rarely heard.
Honestly, dave makes some of the best reviews. Simple, and concise. I watch your vids even if im not interested in the profuct you reviewed. You deserve more subs!
I see it as an underwhelming product but I feel like we need to encourage that behavior of experiment and search of something new.
Pondo Pondo well verbal pats on the back don’t really do it. The only way that you could truly support and encourage this behaviour is to actually buy it.
boog_masskwé buying the product would just make the current device labeled as a success. They’d repeat the idea. Not buying it forces them to think about something to appeal their customers.
Pondo Pondo Exactly! This issue I have with this laptop is that there is so much negative space.
Throw that display away and make air intake from above. Maybe it improves thermals.
@@primej485 Not buying it might also forces them to acknowledge that the market doesn't want the product and try to make something else, thus no succesor. Same thing applies for foldable phone. Edit : I'm not saying, "You should buy this product! It's amazing! bla bla bla". I'm just stating the possibilities that might come to their mind.
_Razer : Wait that's illegal_
Why?
Original comment : Wait that's illegal
@@stryker4514 Wait that's illegal
Cos one of razors first gaming laptop model had a dual screen like this
Razer actually had many screens in theory since their razer Switchblade prototype basically had a total of 45 oled screens since all the keys were small screens in theory :). I really love their Razer Star Wars keyboard with the 10 custom oled screen buttons and 1 bigger screen on the side of the numeric keys, but its too expensive for me :(.
Was waiting for your review of this laptop...nicely made video Dave. Answered all my questions about this laptop. 👍🏻👍🏻
Your videos are so aesthetically pleasing that I watch them whenever I'm feeling stressed.
Looks ugly compared to the Zenbook. The tiny screen looks tacked on, would look better if it were full length.
they could have just put the fan air inlet on the sides
John Doe or huge speakers
Yea that extra space looks like wasted space.
i agree.. it looks a bit awkward with all that space around it
Things are always better at _full_ length.
The liquid metal aspect seems way more interesting than the dual display. If they focused more on getting Zephyrus level thermals without their awkward hatch design, I feel they would have been on to a winner.
Hey what r u doing here
The thermals are worse because it is runner a second display isn’t it? Why does thermals matter so much performance matters.
Jonn McNally is you’re computer is 100 degrees then it’s gonna be unplayable. Thermals matter a lot
I think this will really be useful for graphic designers (multimedia art) :) The zoom on a certain spot will really help the user
thanks for the review now i have an idea of the laptop
Great review! I really like the magnification feature. I wouldn't buy this laptop for myself, but I like that manufacturers keep experimenting with dual screens.
Finally you did this laptop!!😍☺
As always, great video Dave! 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!
I think this would be great for Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs) and music production purposes. i.e, A mixer, drum rack, or piano rolls can be displayed below.
I don't know, mixer would be too big to fit on that little screen, I don't know why you would want the drum rack there not to mention a piano roll?

Really like your neat style. Hope you will test also the new version of the omen 15 🤞🏻
HP: introducing to our new split screen gaming Laptop Asus: HOLD MY RGB LEDS!!
After Asus Explaining things Asus:Give me My RGB Leds back
It's Hp not Asus okay
Nintendo DS bottom screen if you ask me haha
Maybe, this is the best device for DS Emulator.
At least in the case of the DS, though, the games are designed with that bottom screen in mind.
Hi Dave, thanks for the nice reviews, really enjoyable to watch. Going through a lot of research the last couple of months for a new laptop and there are so many good/hard choices out there... Any chance for Asus TUF FX705 and MSI Prestige series reviews?
Im glad I got the HP Omen 17". The one with the second screen came out the week after I bought mine. I'm pretty happy with the overall preformance but I wouldn't say it's as portable as the smaller laptops. Also the battery lasts 2 hours off charge
You: hp omen x 2s Me, an intellectual: Nintendo ds
Yeah this laptop looks nerdy af whereas the DS looks clean and professional.

I don't know if you gonna read this... But you are just an amazing vlogger!! You've got skills! You presentation is amazing! It's professional, not flashy like others, it's informative! It's just amazing! No extra ding dongs straight to the point! The next laptop I'll buy, will surely be based on your videos and your opinions! Keep up the amazing work Dave! I'm saving up for the new laptop wish me luck!
really this laptop very helpful for mini music product.. the second display help for mixing console and some other level and automation line out
This laptop is for stream sniping on the go
Especially with the second screen not filling the entire width of that panel, they really should have opened those sections up for drawing in more air. It would probably do wonders for heat management, having massive intakes on the top. Works for Razer and the Alienware m15/m17.
A couple weeks ago I got the HP Omen 15 dc1040nr, a 2070MQ 8750H, 16GB (dual channel) 144h display, and I’m very happy so far, $1500. Was getting some throttling and used a -.110 under volt and now nothing, CPU temp was peaking at 90, now 82, most of the time in mid 70’s during games, overall a great product, I’d recommend.
Is your review on Alienware M15/17R2 coming up soon?
There should be a mechanism for tilting these secondary screens, it would be far better that way
I have a Logitech G510S keyboard with a small screen on it. I run Aida64 & use it to monitor FPS as well as CPU & GPU frequencies & temps. It's like a dashboard in a car, really useful to have to troubleshoot any problems. I would use this laptop in a similar way. Although running Twitch or other videos would be great for some games too. It seems like a poor use of space though. They could have put some grills on the sides & improved airflow a little. Liquid metal is a good move though. I'm running Conductonaut on my MSI GS65.
Hopefully they'll release the software that lets you enlarge a part of the UI onto a 2nd screen. Running the mini-map of any game onto a 2nd monitor would be great.
Look down, and then when I look back up, I got killed, game over! With HP Omen X 2S, I'm a feeder ;)
dang this video was only recorded a couple hours ago i saw that meme on reddit @ 6:14 only a few hours ago
Right before I clicked on this video I watched MKBHD's video from 1:04
Amazing video Dave 😉
Hi Dave, nice video, a consult what is better the last version of Hp Omen 2018 or this? This product is more pratical?
Wow, now finally emulate my DS/3DS games, and use one screen for each screen of the original Console, also the same for Wii U Games through CEMU
could we get a Asus ROG Zephyrus M GU502 (2019) review too?
I'm thinking keeping a wiki up for complicated survival/crafting games makes sense. I can't tell you how often I have my phone out when I'm playing things like oxygen not included, trying to figure out how to manage waste water, or whatnot.
Duuuuudeeeee I’ve been waiting for this since foreverrr
Please make a review on HP omen 15 2019 model with the 1660ti graphics model
don't even game but if Dave makes a video about gaming laptops, you're godamnnn right immma watch it!!!!!
@@uberRandom-9 I already am a sore loser at most things I do, don't think I need something more to suck at :(
True, don't do gaming for a long time, never did on pc, and i don't understand the use of a gaming laptop compare to a full pc....but i like the explanation, the cleanness and above all, the honest and unbiased review.
@@karlos777x exactly man!!!!!
I could use that 2nd screen to watch walkthrough guide videos while playing. Very useful for trophy hunters
We need additional screens on both sides so we can look up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right. Because Awesome Start!
Why not call it the omen DS? Wait never mind
lmao
how bout this... make the screen 4k and boom! Omen 4DS :D
@@rbd6502 uh DS stands for 'dual screens' so it would sound like Omen 4 dual screens. If you ask me, sounds like the pc has 8 screens
Ghuu
Now I am going to Asus , I have some confusion , but now it is clear .
@@mokubakaiba1751 HP is trash. Never buy anything from HP.
@@PSYCHOV3N0M HP is fine. They had some lemons around 2009 but anything post 2010 from them has proven to be just as good, if not better than Dell, Toshiba, Lenovo, ect. and much more reliable than anything Acer has put out in the last 15 years.
@@austing4321 Lenovo is the worst laptop brand I've personally used. I got 4 bad laptops in a span of 2.5 years.
@Fachaulia Network I don't know about HP but Asus has been good for me.
@Fachaulia Network where are you located? Here in India, Asus is a good brand. It's got good customer satisfaction.
The trackpad is Really on extally Right place..good job
for the gameplay ui, a useful way to use it would be World of Warcraft's chat box, i would put that zoomed right there so i could easily see what i was typing while looking down at the keyboard, super useful, but im sure i would 100% of the time have youtube running down there
This will make grinding video games actually fun
...uh unless you can multi task watching the other screen while hardcore grinding on the other
The second screen looks like afterthought of bad design.
One of the most stupid looking laptops of all time period lmao, who the fuck waste money on this beats me.
true
@@chuggynation8275 the person that buys it for the power not the looks.
Pro players specifically CS GO Pros, have used eye tracking during Lan Games and their eyes jumping around all over the screen is insane so yeah this can be really great as looking at bottom is more comfy than looking at corners
Looks nice the laptendo DS !!
Maybe HP will convince other manufacturers to use quality Thermal Pastes
U can put chat on the secondary screen though 🤔
Bruh you gonna need telescope to read anything on that tiny screen made for ants lmao, its 100% useless .
@@chuggynation8275 Sssshhhh
@@chuggynation8275 well don’t you have a mobile phone? Don’t you read chats, whatsapp messanfer etc on it?...the secondary screen is bigger than phone!!

5:39 Fireball to the face on turn 5. The SMOrc is strong with this one.
I think this double screen laptops are actually great for developers. You can have your main content on big screen like your editor or browser and your terminal in the small screen.
Nope. Like most devs, I simply run dual displays. Second 24 inch screen can be really cheaply bought, and you'll usually have your IDE on screen 1, and your browser plus multiple terminal windows on the second screen. The second screen is way too small to be useful on this laptop. This laptop is vastly overpriced junk for developers (and I've been a software dev since 1981, so I have a little bit of experience.. :))
Hi dave, i saw your video about the heliso 300, i also think asus rog strix g 2019 could be a best buy for 1200$, it has an i7 9gen, gtx 1650, 8 giga ram and 1 tb ssd, what do you think about it? Will you review it? Always appreciate your videos✌🏻
they should just put a bezel in the middle of the display and call it a two screen laptop
Might be good for sniping seven miles across the map in battlefield
For music production, it might be useful to have a built-in dedicated screen for the mixer or for piano roll, but that's not gonna make a ton of difference.
Hey Dev, we are waiting for your review about the new MSI GL63 9SDK-614. I'm very much confused whether to buy that MSI or Acer Predator Helios 300 2019 for my PremierePro usage.
i could use the second screen when I play LOL, "champion build" and put it there
Asus: Check out our dual screen laptop. Hp: We got it out first* *(minimum effort may apply).
.... Razer: Been there, done that.
I think that secondary display issue is mainly because of the angle the eye has to rotate, view and rotate back. An inclined movable hinge feature for the secondary display might solve the issue (sort of like panning it closer to the primary display at an angle). I would be interested if any OEM implements that.
It seems to benefit those twitch or other game-streaming people, which they can see live comments from the secondary screen, which they normally get an additional monitor to do so.
Here I am with my i5 and 1050 in an Asus Tuf fx504 being perfectly happy. (And slightly jealous)
Yeah, but you could get 6 of those for the price of this. Nothing to be jealous of my friend.
@ओम श्री with AMD R7 3750H and GTX 1660Ti or RTX 2060 you are good to go
@ओम श्री it works great for me. Plays a ton of games at 60fps if you tweak the graphics settings a bit
@@gls3578 hey if it works you've got a setup. And it's still better than my school computers
I use gigabyte aero 15x v8 :(
I love it. For me it's perfect for gaming and watching netflix etc. Without needing another monitor
Hi Dave, would really appreciate if you'll do laptop reviews best suited for video/visual rendering jobs. :D
You are dead on again Dave about the real world useability of this design. Let me just add that this dual screen setup could be very useful for video editing provided the NLE in use supports it, which I'm not sure if any does because I mainly work on Macs.
Guys what's the best tablet laptop hybrid with touchscreen plus stylus, that are most suitable for graphics work such as drawing and painting??
Probably the asus zenbook or the microsoft surface pro 6
Can we get Alienware M15/17 2019 models reviewed!?
I think the second screen would be more useful for casual games as well as for streaming. You could have your chat and stream down there while you play up top. It would need to be larger to be useful as a sniping tool, hut that's my opinion.
u r just the best ... u live for the truth... more grace bruv...
No real use yet for secondary screens on laptops, it's like an oversized touchbar, but eventually this will become common like any other new weird feature.
Are you joking? The Asus has tones of awesome uses, multi tasking video editing. This one not so much but the asus one has a real future
Check Asus ZenBook Pro Duo. Thats how to do it right. This HP OMEN is shit for children
Anybody notice 1:30 ? Cough tryna hint his mistakes. Mocking us viewers 🤣 you won Dave
Yesssss thank you!
I have the Asus Pro Duo, and I got to say I don't regret getting it over the HP Omen. Larger second screen, lit up numpad on the trackpad, sleeker design. I mainly use the Asus Pro Duo for creative development, but if I had to choose a laptop for gaming I would probably still choose Asus. Hoping the HP Omen will innovate in the future though
Here in 2019 we aren't making crazy crazy shit, we're making a new giant 3DS
I'll stick with my 3ds for now
loopy koopa why not emulate it?

There are games optimised for multiple screens. Microsoft Flight Simulator, for example. You could put your attitude indicator or GPS on the bottom screen
Hey dave, so I have been hunting for the perfect laptop (between 15-17 inch display). I wanted to get your opinion about the ASUS GX531GS that is going for $1350 USD. It has the 1070 config. Is it worth the price point? Should i be looking at the GS65 as a better alternative?
"LITTLE" 6 inch screen?? I'll have you know 6 inch is *average*
Man. The DS design has changed alot...
Ik... nintendo decided that 'asus' was a cooler name, and changed DS to Omen. Right.
when are you going to do the alienware m15 r2 *cries*, no one has posted a review yet and i've been checking everyday for the past 2 weeks. (a lot of people have) I hope you do it soon! ur reviews are the best
