Last year, HP updated its Omen series of gaming laptops with the latest processors from Intel, AMD, and NVIDIA. These laptops are finally making their way to the Nepali market. So, let’s go through the specifications, features, price, and availability of HP Omen 16 2021 in Nepal.
HP Omen 16 2021 Overview:
Design and Display
Here, the Omen 16 has a 16.1-inch display with up to QHD resolution. The panel has a 16:9 aspect ratio and a refresh rate of up to 165Hz. The former is a slight letdown seeing how other companies have begun to adopt a 16:10 aspect ratio even on their gaming laptops.
Furthermore, this panel has slim bezels on the left and right edge alongside an eyesore of a bezel on the bottom with an “Omen” branding. It also brings a front-facing 720p webcam. HP Omen 16 is available in a single color option called Shadow Black.
Performance
In terms of performance, it can be configured with either AMD or Intel’s most recent processors. The maxed-out versions come with AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX or Intel Core i7-11800H CPU. Likewise, both models can be configured with up to RTX 3070 (8GB VRAM).
In addition, the AMD variant also has options for Radeon GPU. Under this, you can configure the laptop with up to Radeon RX 6600M graphics.
Both versions have up to 32GB of DDR4 RAM and a 1TB NVMe M.2 Solid State Drive (SSD). However, the SSD in the Intel configuration uses PCIe 4.0 lanes while the AMD model only supports the older PCIe 3.0 standard.
