Our opinion on the HP Omen 16-wf0143nf
Want a lot of power in play? L’HP Omen 16-wf0143nf is a creative gaming laptop PC comfortable in recent games thanks to its high-end NVIDIA Ada Lovelace GeForce RTX 4080 ray tracing graphics card. This GPU accelerates multimedia processing like the powerful 32 GB of RAM and Intel Raptor Lake Core i7-13700HX hybrid processor, but also the comfortable 1 TB fast SSD storage which increases responsiveness. This versatile black aluminum Windows 11 laptop designed for playing and creating benefits from a 16-inch High Definition 2.5K IPS anti-glare screen with sRGB colors more faithful than the average and high frequency of 240Hz which improves fluidity in games, a backlit keyboard (but without numeric keypad) as well as USB-C Thunderbolt 4 and Wi-Fi 6E connectivity.

The HP Omen 16-wf0143nf faces the competition
The HP Omen 16-wf0143nf is currently on sale at Boulanger and offers an attractive configuration/price ratio for its category where it is one of the least expensive to offer such a powerful graphics card with such a substantial amount of RAM, a screen with equally high frequency and definition as well as Thunderbolt 4 connectivity, with Windows provided.
If this HP Omen 16-wf0143nf does not meet all your criteria, you will find other configurations for gaming with a similar budget in our gaming laptop guide. For the same budget, choose the model with the most powerful graphics card, it will have the greatest impact on performance.

Chassis, connections, screen of the HP Omen 16-wf0143nf
Recharge to 50% in 30 minutes, this versatile laptop with a Celestial Black design, anodized finish aluminum keyboard frame with angular lines and connectors positioned partly at the back has a relatively elegant and discreet gaming look.
This creative gaming laptop has good connectivity with its 2 USB-C Thunderbolt 4 (compared to 1 maximum usually), its Bluetooth 5.3 and Wi-Fi 6E ax wireless modules for communicating and connecting remotely, its Ethernet ports and audio, its useful HDMI video output to easily connect it to a TV or a monitor for example or its 2 USB 3.0 (USB 2.0 compatible) guaranteeing transfers up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 if USB 3.0 devices are connected to it.
You can backlight the keys of the chiclet keyboard when you want to see them better in the dark.
It’s a shame, however, to note the absence of a numeric keypad on the right, even though this functionality is standard from 15 inches to make it easier to enter numbers.
To appeal to gamers, the screen adopts a refresh rate of 240Hz which clearly improves general fluidity, including in games, compared to the standard 60Hz, especially as its latency is reduced.
The screen is also suitable for High Definition content such as videos thanks to its 2.5K definition superior to Full HD and its 16:9 format.
The screen also reproduces colors more faithfully than average while ensuring significant viewing angles, both horizontally and vertically.
As it is anti-reflective, the screen is also more readable in a bright environment (e.g. outdoors) than a shiny panel.
Performance, autonomy of the HP Omen 16-wf0143nf
The HP Omen 16-wf0071nf may be of interest to those who have a substantial budget and wish to invest in a versatile multimedia laptop in a comfortable format and powerful in gaming and creation.
As it features one of the most powerful mobile graphics cards of the moment, the high-end NVIDIA Ampere GeForce RTX 4080 ray tracing, you can play the most recent and resource-intensive 3D games with this versatile laptop.
And this despite the fact that the 2.5K screen definition, higher than Full HD, requires more graphics calculations, which results in a lower number of fps.
Demanding players will therefore be delighted and creative ones too. Because multimedia processing taking advantage of GPU computing power is accelerated by the GeForce RTX 4080, for example under the Adobe, Vegas or VSDC suite.
Whether with the Iris Xe graphics solution inserted in the processor or the dedicated GeForce RTX 4080 card, you can watch photos and videos. But also play light games.
NVIDIA Optimus technology favors maximum operation on the Iris
In this area, expect around 4 hours of battery operation in light use.
Optimus takes care of automatically switching in real time depending on the tasks performed between the Iris Xe and the GeForce RTX 4070.
The GeForce RTX 4070 ray tracing with NVIDIA Ampere architecture is in fact activated by Optimus to carry out graphics work deemed too heavy for the Iris Xe, typically for gaming.
The Iris
The GeForce RTX 4080 is well supported in games by this heart which delivers great overall power unlike that provided by the vast majority of models on the market.
Creators will appreciate that this core ensures much faster multimedia processing than if we were dealing with a classic Quad/Hexa/Octo Core and 8/16 GB DDR4/5. We strongly feel the difference in areas that are intensive in CPU and RAM resources using multi-core, such as video editing, 3D rendering or photo editing.
HP obviously opts in terms of storage for an SSD that is more resistant to shocks than a hard drive but also consumes less energy, is silent and much faster.
Responsiveness and fluidity are in practice much better with an SSD than with a hard drive.
Thanks to the SSD, game/software launches are much faster, as are multimedia processing and starts/stops, while the arrival on online game cards is faster.
A 1000 GB SSD is integrated here, a large capacity for installing and storing many games, software and files.
Finally, expect heat and noise in the event of heavy loads (e.g. games, treatments) from this versatile multimedia creator gaming laptop PC which can be coupled if necessary with a ventilated support to contain its temperatures (remember to check the dimensions carefully!).
