HyperX Omen 15 delivers strong gaming performance with cost-cutting compromises in build and ports
↗
HP’s HyperX Omen 15 offers competitive gaming performance and an OLED display but sacrifices chassis quality and connectivity at its price point.
Engineers evaluating gaming hardware for performance-per-dollar trade-offs will note the Omen 15’s strong GPU and display are offset by a plastic chassis and limited ports. The lack of Thunderbolt and a 120 Hz display cap may limit its appeal for non-gaming workloads or future-proofing.

The Omen 15 pairs an RTX 5070 GPU and 1800p OLED display with a Core Ultra 9 processor for competitive gaming performance.
Cost-cutting measures include a plastic chassis, no Thunderbolt ports, and a 120 Hz display limit despite a $2,100 price tag.
The laptop’s weight and dimensions are comparable to competitors, but its build quality lags behind similarly priced alternatives.
