Chassis, connectivity, screen of the HP Omen Transcend 14-fb0029nf
With its compact, thin and light white ceramic sandblasted anodized aluminum design, it has an elegant and discreet appearance while retaining the angular lines of the gamer models.
This versatile multimedia laptop for gamers and creatives has good connectivity consisting of 2 USB-C including 1 Thunderbolt 4, a practical HDMI video output to easily connect it to a TV or a monitor for example, wireless modules Bluetooth 5.4 and Wi-Fi 7 be wire to communicate and connect remotely, an audio port or even 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 plugged into it.
An unusual feature in gaming models, it is possible to authenticate by facial recognition using Windows Hello technology and the Infrared webcam.
To better distinguish the keys, you can activate the RGB backlighting of the chiclet keyboard.
The screen stands out with its DCI-P3 OLED technology, which produces color accuracy that is much higher than average with great black depth, significant vertical and horizontal viewing angles, and minimal latency. Combined with the 120Hz frequency, the latter enhances overall fluidity, including in games, which gamers will appreciate.
Fans of High Definition content are not left out since the screen has a 2.8K definition clearly superior to Full HD. It is associated with a 16/10th format displaying more height information than the classic 16/9th.
Anti-reflective, the screen is glossy due to its OLED technology. The gloss revives the colors but is subject to reflections in bright environments (e.g. outdoors).
Performances, autonomie de l’HP Omen Transcend 14-fb0029nf
The HP Omen Transcend 14-fb0029nf may appeal to those who wish to acquire a compact, elegant, high-performance, high-definition, high-fidelity multimedia laptop PC focused on gaming and creation.
This Ultrabook is particularly suitable for performing multimedia processing using multi-core and AI, such as 3D rendering, video editing or photo editing.
Because it is powered by a Core Ultra 7 155H Meteor Lake processor with 16 hybrid cores, AI features and integrated Intel Arc graphics, supported by 16 GB of RAM. We thus obtain solid general performances capable of satisfying a maximum of users.
Creatives will appreciate it, especially since the dedicated GeForce RTX 4060 graphics card is on board. Because it provides graphic acceleration of multimedia processing under software that exploits GPU computing power, such as the Adobe suite, Vegas or VSDC.
Featuring NVIDIA Ada Lovelace architecture, the GeForce RTX 4060 ray tracing is a high-end dedicated graphics card that will be appreciated by gamers who want to indulge in recent games. And who are ready to make concessions to obtain good playability under the most demanding titles in 3D resources.
Because a greater number of calculations are necessary in 2.8K than in Full HD, which implies a lower number of fps in games.
NVIDIA Optimus technology automatically turns the GeForce RTX 4060 on and off in real time based on the tasks being performed.
Optimus favors as much as possible operation on the Intel Arc housed in the Meteor Lake while it is much less powerful because it consumes little energy which favors autonomy.
The autonomy represents an undeniable advantage of this configuration since it is around 8 hours on battery in light use. This is all the more appreciable as this versatile multimedia gaming and creation-oriented laptop is easy to transport because it is compact, thin and light. It may therefore be of interest to some who wish to equip themselves with a high-performance multimedia student laptop with an elegant white design.
Still, the GeForce RTX 4060 is used by Optimus to carry out graphics work deemed too heavy for the Intel Arc, typically for gaming.
Storage is up to par with this relatively balanced configuration since it is entrusted to a 1TB SSD, a significant capacity for installing and storing quantities of games, software and files including personal creations.
Getting to online game maps is actually faster with an SSD than with an HDD, as is launching games/software, starting/stopping, and performing processing.
Generally speaking, responsiveness and fluidity are boosted by the SSD compared to a hard drive.
Compared to the latter, it must be said that an SSD is much faster, in addition to being silent, more energy efficient and more robust.
Finally, although this white versatile multimedia gamer Ultrabook is noisy when pushed hard (e.g. games, processing), its temperatures remain under control.
In any case, to limit its temperatures, it can be combined with a ventilated support (remember to check the dimensions carefully!).
