The HP HyperX Omen 15, which I first saw at CES, replaces the HP Victus 15, a longtime bestselling budget gaming laptop. The Victus cost just $800, or less when on sale, and was a good entry point to decent laptop gaming. The Good - Affordable-ish gaming performance in a decent to solid package - Fine for 1080p / 1200p gaming and light content creation - 165Hz refresh rate on a fairly bright screen - Upgradeable DDR5 RAM and NVMe SSD (with two slots for each) The Bad - Not as affordable the HP Victus 15 it replaces - Only one of the USB ports is USB-C — and not even Thunderbolt - No face or fingerprint unlocking - Keyboard, trackpad, and speakers range from okay to bad Component report card - Screen: C - Webcam: C - Keyboard: C - Trackpad: D - Port selection: C - Speakers: C - Number of ugly stickers to remove: 3 Our HyperX Omen 15 review unit is a $1,199 configuration sold through Walmart with an eight-core Intel Core 5 210H “Raptor Lake” chip, RTX 5050 discreet GPU, 16GB of DDR5 RAM, and 512GB SSD.
