Is the HP OmniBook 7 16 good for gaming?

Only for light or older titles. It uses integrated Intel graphics, so modern games will run at low settings or low frame rates despite the 240 Hz screen.

Can I upgrade the RAM or storage later?

It already ships with 32 GB of RAM and a 2 TB SSD, which covers most users for years. Check HP's service documentation before assuming either is user-replaceable.

How does it compare with a MacBook Pro 16?

The OmniBook gives you a Windows machine with more RAM and storage at this tier and a 240 Hz screen. The MacBook Pro offers stronger battery life and GPU performance, especially for video work.

Does it have a numpad?

No. The keyboard is backlit but has no numeric keypad, even though the chassis is 16 inches wide.

What ports does it have?

It lists HDMI and USB-C connections. There is no optical drive and no NFC, so plan on a hub or adapter for older USB-A accessories.

Is the screen good for outdoor use?

The no-glare IPS panel helps in bright rooms, but 2560 x 1600 at this size is best indoors. Expect to raise brightness outdoors.
