HP Omen 15-1502na review

Welcome to a Ac Adapter specialist of the Hp Compaq Ac Adapter

The HP Omen has a specification and price that marks it out as a gaming laptop, but it’s a different beast than most of its rivals.

Its body is finished in black with adapter such as HP PPP012H AC Adapter, HP PPP012L AC Adapter, HP PPP018L AC Adapter, HP WE449AA AC Adapter, HP ED519AA AC Adapter, HP EX978AV AC Adapter, HP NW199AA AC Adapter, HP ED494AA AC Adapter, Compaq Presario CQ430 AC Adapter, Compaq Presario CQ630 AC Adapter, HP Pavilion G7 AC Adapter, HP Omnibook XE3B AC Adapter, incorporating the kind of smart pattern we'd normally associate with a high-class Ultrabook, and it’s augmented by red LEDs and a cylindrical metal hinge.

The dotted pattern extends across the Omen’s lid and is interrupted only by a smart, raised Hewlett-Packard logo. The underside is finished in a similar texture that looks better than the vents and panels found beneath most gaming laptops. The Omen’s two halves clasp together to form a device with a striking, sharply angled profile.

The metal used to build the Omen is all black, with a hint of colour provided by the red LEDs. The speaker grilles that stretch down each side of the keyboard glow with these LEDs, which pulse in time to music. The two air vents at the rear also have their own set. The power button is illuminated, and the keyboard is backlit. The only item that isn’t red or black is the hinge; it's chrome, with a blue tinge at either end.

The Omen doesn't only stand out for its looks. It has a depth of less than 20mm and it weighs 2.1kg, which means it undercuts the 2.4kg MSI GE62 2QD Apache by 7mm. It’s even slimmer than the Alienware 15, which is almost a kilo heavier and more than a centimetre thicker.

Despite the slim design, it’s sturdy – the wrist-rest, screen and underside barely move when put under pressure. The Omen would still benefit from a protective sleeve, but only to ensure its looks aren’t damaged.

It’s all good so far, but the Omen has a few issues. Four USB slots sit round the back of the machine, making access awkward. The same is true of the HDMI port, mini-DisplayPort socket and the single headphone jack. Only the SD card slot is installed elsewhere, and there’s no room for an optical drive either.

Access to the inside is challenging too. The screws to remove the base panel are hidden beneath rubber strips, which can’t be re-attached once they’ve been removed.
