HP Omen 15 - 2018
In all, though, there’s not much that the HP Omen 15 (2018) does wrong. It may not be as thin, light or drop-dead gorgeous as the Razer Blade 15 or as all-out brutish as the Acer Predator Helios 500, but it’s well-priced and a darned good compromise.

One other note to point out regarding its specs and price is that it's one of the few notebooks equipped with a massive 32GB of memory, which is great if you dabble in a lot of content creativity jobs and you need a capable multi-tasker.

With the Omen 15, Hewlett-Packard delivers a compact gaming notebook that can be called successful overall. However, despite its purchase price of 2100 Euros (~$2396), it is not free from weaknesses.

A marked improvement on the 2017 edition, the HP Omen 15 (2018) has bags of PC gaming potential thanks to a formidable processor and a beefy GPU. With a so-so keyboard and trackpad it isn’t a perfect package, but it’s still a powerful machine that will play most of the big triple-A titles on PC without breaking too much of a sweat.

The Omen by HP 15 is an odd laptop with several redeeming qualities. The graphics card is fast enough for top games, and the 144Hz screen is useful – although only certain titles will truly benefit. The processor is good, and the screen is reasonable....
