Manufacturer description
Great gaming that fits anywhere At 5.35 lbs and only 0.89 inches tall, the OMEN 16 Slim is built to go wherever you do. Whether it's fitting it into your bag or desk area, the OMEN 16 Slim's smaller footprint allows you to best maximize your space without compromising on performance.

SpecPicks Verdict
SpecPicks scored HP OMEN 16 Gaming Laptop using a rating × review-volume × price-fit model applied to published specs and reviews across the displays & upscalers category. Compare with similarly-priced alternatives in the displays & upscalers category before committing.
