Video sponsored by OMEN. The OMEN Transcend 14 is a 14-inch thin and light laptop with the latest Intel Core Ultra 9 CPU, paired with Nvidia's RTX 4070 in 65W form - so to what extent can it game? By combining console-class optimised settings, Nvidia DLSS spatial upscaling and even frame generation, we can achieve PS5-class visual features and more - with ray tracing and even path-tracing in the mix. All PC capture in this video taken directly from the OMEN Transcend 14.

Do NOT buy gaming laptops right now. They simply ship with insufficient VRAM amounts for the near and far future, the 4070 with just 8 GB is particularly troublesome. Remember, you cannot upgrade the GPU in a laptop and you will most likely use it for a very long time if you spend that much money. Really hope Blackwell goes all in on VRAM or better yet, provide SOCs with high bandwidth unified memory.

And unlike most others they don't hide the sponsorship declaration at the bottom of the description but instead put "[Sponsored]" in the title and the top line of the description and the first 20 seconds of the video. Also unlike most channels they're not always begging for likes or subs, hardly ever have ads baked into the videos, and when they do include ads (eg. in their longer GOTY videos) they are pretty brief. This isn't some hobbyist channel that Rich works on the weekend. They're uploading tons of testing plus a weekly podcast and people are mad that they're not running it like a charity.

If it weren't for the look of the keyboard I'd have been tempted by this, I think I'll be going for a G14 4070 in the next week or so. I think it has a bit more wattage for the GPU without the need for dynamic boost but need to look into that some more.

@OmarRashid54 Ай бұрын

POWER. It's a thing. I'm constantly on international 10 hour flights and my MSI 3080 laptop performs exactly like a 4070. Here's the difference... the 3080 draws 280 watts! If you dont know, those airplane outlets are only rated at 115 watts and shut off (although my previous 1080 max-q got away with 140 watts) This means I get a slide show (battery GPU profile) for 20 minutes. Then dead. A laptop that runs better than a ps5 (maybe even ps5pro) and on an airplane is pretty enticing. As others have meantioned, this is a sposored video, so the negatives are missing. That being said, you can read between the lines. Lots of tweaking to make new stuff play right. No compromises with 5 year old games. I think comparisons to higher draw laptops would be helpful. Thanks to other commenters for mentioning the Lenovo slim option. One last thought... why not provide scaleable power bricks and a 140w mode for all laptops? Not enough people asking for it? Ive been looking at an ROG or steam deck, but this has got my attention. Perhaps a 5070 version next year will finally get me to bite. Having a 3080 already, I'll just tackle my switch library backlog for now ;) Thanks DF!

@federicocatelli8785 Ай бұрын

A very small niche indeed

@sleeplessindefatigable6385 Ай бұрын

I like the idea of an optional higher power brick, but I think the problem with that would ultimately be cooling. Letting a 4070 go to full power for extended periods in a laptop about as thick as three beer mats stacked on top of each other would likely overwhelm any cooling solution pretty quickly, especially considering how tightly packed in any fans would be. Personally, I think the answer is to just abandon the slim-n-lite form factor altogether in favour of better cooling and repairability, but I have to admit there are legions of people who actually do want a form factor this thin, and who benefit from it.

The main thrust of this video is that, in gaming, the Omen 14 can meet the PS5's performance, but with a little extra oomph occasionally wherever there is framegen, but always ONLY with DLSS/upscaling enabled. That is a sad, sad comparison to use as a selling point.

OLED are something else but yeah a 1080p would have saved power. A 1440p would have been ideal to strike a high DPI and conserve power but you also get higher brightness with more pixels. My 15 inch 4k OLED puts to shame the iPad which hits 500 nits full window and is crazy bright for a $300 device. The OLED is probably twice as bright and that puts it up there with the $30,000 Sony Reference monitor in terms of full window APL.

Did you watch the video!? You realize most games are not as demanding as the ones DF chose to focus on, right!? Besides, you can always plug a laptop into whatever TV or monitor you want!

@Pillokun Ай бұрын

what why? 16:9 for such a small laptop is not good, it will feel a bit claustrophobic. 16:10 or simiar is better as it offer more vertical space so to speak.

@crestofhonor2349 Ай бұрын

I'd rather have the higher resolution screen. 1080p is cramped for normal stuff on a laptop. Besides you can always turn down the resolution of the screen or use upscaling via DLSS

What's the problem with an occasional ad. It's a business. I don't currently see it affecting the rest of their content in the slightest.

@sehrschee Ай бұрын

To be very honest... 1 hour battery life is a bit rediculous.. i know its for gaming and all.. but especially in these days where games get longer and longer.. I dont game on the go so i dont have that problem. I use my MBair M2 for anything really except gaming and its gold. Battery dont last for ever thats a given, but they last a couple of hours even when using After Affects or tons of applications at once and so on.

@@Wobbothe3rd I mean yeah.. of course... but i just love the fact that i can take my MBAir into any kind of cafe and do what ever i would like to do for a few hours without thinking about it. I get what you are saying though.

@crestofhonor2349 Ай бұрын

Gaming on battery and getting 1 hour isn't all that surprising. You get higher power draw when gaming. Under normal loads it'll last much longer. Plus you can always limit performance to make it last longer like using the iGPU instead of the dGPU on battery

@@Wobbothe3rd And you dont seem to understand that 65W is a huge amount of heat to dissipate for laptop of that size. Even 40W is. Your thinking of what is low tdp is very wrong. For a laptop of that size normal power they use is somewhere between 15W and 25W

@@niebuhr6197 It is about physics and size of the device. You need bigger heatsink, more heatpipes, bigger fan to make effective cooling without increasing noise and you cant put those into a small device so more effective cooling usually ends up being still a small fan but with high rpm and making lots of noise with small devices. All I was hoping was that he would have talked more about the noise levels in this review.

I love my ASUS G14 2024, but it has the AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS, 16GB RAM, 1 TB Hard Drive and the GTX 4060 GPU. I paid for the G14, after taxes, $1,711. The HP OMEN is on sale now and it has the Intel Ultra 9, 32GB RAM, 2TB Hard Drive, and a GTX 4070. The HP OMEN is on sale for $1,911 after taxes on HP’s website. I like to game but not much. I love the speakers on the G14. I use my laptop more for work productivity, light gaming through STEAM and I desire better battery life for video streaming and web surfing. I almost considered the new Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite laptop from Samsung, but I am afraid of Windows app compatibility with ARM processors. I am also afraid that STEAM will not work on a Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite. Should I pay the $200 more for the HP OMEN because of the 32GB RAM, 2TB Hard drive and GTX 4070 GPU? I see that the speakers as well as the Front Facing Camera are horrible on the HP OMEN. Should I switch to the HP OMEN because of the upgraded specs and lower price?
