Our take on the HP OMEN 16.1 Gaming Laptop 16
The HP OMEN 16.1 is a mid-range gaming laptop built around a 16.1-inch 2560 x 1440 display, a 14-core Intel processor and a 6 GB GDDR6 graphics card. It pairs a 1 TB NVMe SSD with 83 Wh battery and Wi-Fi 6E, so it handles modern games and heavy multitasking without feeling cramped. The 300 cd/m² panel is dimmer than the bright 500-nit screens on premium rivals, and the 720p webcam is basic. It suits gamers and students who want a large QHD screen and strong CPU headroom without paying flagship prices.

What reviewers say
Owners of the OMEN 16 line generally praise the QHD screen, strong CPU performance and easy upgrades, while criticising fan noise under load and the dim display. Reception is solid for the price class rather than glowing.
- DisplayMixedOwners like the sharp QHD resolution but say 300 nits is dim in bright rooms.
- PerformancePraisedThe 14-core Intel chip and 6 GB graphics handle modern games and editing well.
- Fan noiseCriticisedReviewers report the cooling fans become loud during heavy gaming sessions.
Questions and answers
- Is the HP OMEN 16.1 good for 1440p gaming?
- Yes. The 2560 x 1440 screen and 6 GB GDDR6 graphics handle most modern games at 1440p on medium to high settings. Expect to lower settings on the most demanding titles.
- How does it compare with the previous OMEN 16?
- This version moves to a 14-core Intel CPU and Wi-Fi 6E, with the same 16.1-inch QHD panel and 83 Wh battery. The jump is mainly in processor headroom and networking.
- Is the battery good enough for gaming unplugged?
- The 83 Wh battery is large, but gaming drains it fast. The 6.25-hour figure applies to light use; expect well under two hours in demanding games.
- Can I upgrade the RAM and storage?
- Yes. The 1 TB NVMe SSD sits in an accessible M.2 slot and memory is user-replaceable through the bottom panel.
- Is the webcam good for streaming?
- No. The 720p HD camera is fine for casual calls but soft for streaming; most gamers use an external camera.
- What ports and networking does it have?
- It offers Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth, Ethernet and DisplayPort 1.4 over USB-C for external monitors.
- Where is the HP OMEN 16.1 Gaming Laptop 16 cheapest?
