HP Omen 16 laptop review: A good choice for gamers even with Zen 4
The Omen 16-xf0376ng is currently available for just under 1,900 Euros (~$2026). For this price, buyers get a cutting-edge Zen 4 processor from AMD: The Ryzen 7 7840HS not only offers a lot of CPU performance, but with the Radeon 780M it also has a pretty fast iGPU. However, demanding graphics calculations are taken care of by a GeForce RTX 4070 from Nvidia. The Ada-Lovelace accelerator is more in the upper mid-range than the high-end segment due to the somewhat meager video memory (only 8 GB GDDR6). The M.2 SSD could also be bigger in view of only 512 GB capacity. however, 16 GB of DDR5-5600 RAM is still appropriate for a gaming notebook from 2023. The display is a matte 16.1-inch IPS-based panel with 1,920 x 1,080 pixels and 165 Hz.

Since the case is largely identical to the already tested 16-wf000 model with a Core i7-13700HX and GeForce RTX 4080 (the AMD version unfortunately has to do without Thunderbolt 4), we will spare ourselves a renewed analysis of the chassis, the equipment and the input devices in this article and refer at this point to the existing Test report.

* ... smaller is better
However, the determined image values are similar. Both models can cover almost 100% of the sRGB color space and about 70% of the AdobeRGB and DCI-P3 color space, respectively, although some competitors (MSI, Gigabyte) score better here. The response time is not bad either and should satisfy most demands.
Illumination (91%) and black value (0.35 cd/m²) are completely the same, but the AMD edition has a slightly better contrast (1000:1 vs 888:1) due to the slightly higher brightness (338 instead of 296 cd/m² on average). However, both devices cannot quite reach the competition. Above all, the OLED panel of the Aero 16 pulls away in many disciplines if you can come to terms with a glossy surface and display flickering.
But back to the Omen 16: The viewing angles are good as typical for IPS, so the picture remains quite stable even from a slanted position. By the way, if you need the most accurate colors possible, you should perform a calibration or download and use the ICC file we linked next to the illumination graphic (assuming it is the same Full HD panel).

The screen shows good response rates in our tests, but may be too slow for competitive gamers. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.2 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 19 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (34.3 ms). |

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 18752 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured. |
Power
The Omen 16 is available in a large number of different configurations. The palette ranges from the GeForce RTX 4050 up to the GeForce RTX 4080. As already mentioned, HP uses current CPU models from AMD and Intel. Our review sample is positioned in the (upper) midfield in terms of price and performance.
Test conditions
As befits a gaming notebook, the manufacturer includes extensive system and tuning software on the computer. In the Omen Gaming Hub, the keyboard backlight, the graphics switching (hybrid or separate) and the performance profile can be adjusted, among other things (see screenshots). Since the noise level when using the performance mode is out of proportion to the (slightly) better 3D performance and the device is already quite present in idle mode, we performed all measurements in "Balanced" mode. There is also the "Eco" mode, but it is very similar to the tested setting in terms of performance and emissions.
Witcher 3 (FHD/Ultra) | Eco | Balanced | Performance |
---|---|---|---|
Frame rate | ~110 fps | ~112 fps | ~120 fps |
Noise | ~44 dB(A) | ~44 dB(A) | ~55 dB(A) |
Processor
The Ryzen 7 7840HS comes from AMD's Phoenix generation and has 16 MB of L3 cache, a maximum clock of 5.1 GHz and 8 cores, which can handle up to 16 threads in parallel thanks to SMT. The 4 nm model is placed in the middle of the benchmark field between the Ryzen 7 7735HS of the Acer Nitro 16 (still based on Zen 3+) and the Ryzen 7 7745HX of the Lenovo Legion Pro 5. Computer on Core i7-13700H(X)-based computers are usually a bit faster. The same applies to the Core i9-13900H of the Gigabyte Aero 16. Above all, we have to praise the constant performance. In our Cinebench loop, the Ryzen 7 7840HS also delivered very similar rates in the long run.

DPC latencies
As is often the case, the latencies give reason for complaint. According to the tool LatencyMon, the laptop is not suitable for latency-sensitive tasks like real-time audio and video editing in its state of delivery.

Mass storage
The SSD is quite unspectacular. The installed 512 GB model from WDC achieves more than solid rates and apart from minor fluctuations (compare DiskSpd loop) also a stable long-term performance, but the Omen 16 cannot quite compete with the SSDs of the competition in the AS SSD benchmark, a performance difference rarely noticed in everyday use.

Graphics card
The GeForce RTX 4070 does not show any weaknesses in synthetic benchmarks. According to our performance rating, the speed is slightly higher than the previously determined RTX 4070 average. No wonder, since HP grants the Ada-Lovelace model its maximum 140 W TGP. Whether the surcharge to the RTX 4080 is worth it is up to the user: The Omen 16-wf000 sprints almost 40% past the 16-xf0376ng in the 3DMarks. Thanks to its 12 GB GDDR6 VRAM, which is not particularly large, the RTX 4080 is more future-proof.

Gaming performance
As expected, the GeForce RTX 4070 proves to be a good basis for the Full HD panel. 1,920 x 1,080 pixels and maximum details are no problem for most games. Only very CPU-intensive or poorly programmed/optimized titles like Immortals of Aveum or A Plague Tale Requiem are fired with less than 60 FPS.

Emissions
Noise emissions
While the Omen 16 gets a very loud ~55 dB(A) when gaming in performance mode, the noise development is kept within limits in balanced mode. 44 dB(A) is by no means quiet, but acceptable in view of the given performance. In idle situations, the fans are sometimes completely off. Most of the time, they run at a fairly decent level, which could be even lower for our taste - the competition often does better here.

Temperature
The laptop heats up in stress situations, especially the underside of the chassis. A maximum of 57 °C (~135 °F) after one hour of FurMark & Prime95 speaks against gaming sessions on the lap. The upper side also gets quite warm with a maximum of 49 °C (~120 °F), but since the palm rest area always stays below 40 °C (104 °F), this value is still halfway acceptable. Nevertheless, the Omen 16 falls behind the competition in this category - with the exception of the even warmer MSI Stealth 16.
(-) The maximum temperature on the upper side is 49 °C / 120 F, compared to the average of 40.4 °C / 105 F, ranging from 21.2 to 68.8 °C for the class Gaming.
(-) The bottom heats up to a maximum of 57 °C / 135 F, compared to the average of 43.3 °C / 110 F
(+) In idle usage, the average temperature for the upper side is 28.7 °C / 84 F, compared to the device average of 33.9 °C / 93 F.
(-) Playing The Witcher 3, the average temperature for the upper side is 42.1 °C / 108 F, compared to the device average of 33.9 °C / 93 F.
(±) The palmrests and touchpad can get very hot to the touch with a maximum of 37 °C / 98.6 F.
(-) The average temperature of the palmrest area of similar devices was 29 °C / 84.2 F (-8 °C / -14.4 F).

Stress test
You do not have to fear a heat death of the components. The Ryzen 7 7840HS throttles to 3.3 GHz after a longer full load, but around 82 °C (~180 °F) is acceptable. The situation is comparable for the GeForce RTX 4070 with just under 78 °C (~172 °F). A core clock of approximately 1700 MHz does not give reason for criticism.

Power management
Energy consumption
There are also no big surprises in terms of energy consumption. 84 to a maximum of 176 watts under load are even relatively low for such a powerful notebook and speak for the efficiency of the CPU and GPU. The included 280-watt power supply is not even close to being exhausted. In idle mode, the Omen 16 only consumes 9 to 20 watts with active graphics switching - a moderate result.

Battery life
The battery life is based on the Intel version, although the AMD counterpart lasts a bit longer in our real-world WLAN test with reduced brightness to 150 cd/m² in view of 344 to 307 minutes. Just under 6 hours is a useful value for a gaming laptop, although some rivals manage even more here.

Pros
Cons
Conclusion
The Omen 16 delivers good performance with the Ryzen 7 7840HS.
The 16-incher does not make any glaring mistakes and gets at least a "Satisfactory" in almost every category.
It is even good enough for a "Good" or "Very Good" in most categories, so we end up with a respectable overall rating of 87% - just like the Intel version.
On the positive side, we would mention the stable continuous performance, the fast 165 Hz display, the solid speakers and (at least in balanced mode) acceptable noise emissions. We would not recommend the performance mode due to the loud noise (no matter if idle or load).
HP could improve the connectivity (no card reader, no USB 4), the webcam and the temperature development of the chassis, which is above average.
Comparable RTX-4070 laptops with AMD processors can be found, for example, at Acer (Nitro 16) or Lenovo (Legion Pro 5).
Price and availability
The HP Omen 16-xf0376ng with Ryzen 7 7840HS, GeForce RTX 4070 and 165 Hz panel was available for just under 1,900 Euros (~$2026) at Saturn and Mediamarkt at the time of testing.
