The Omen 16 is a great gaming laptop with jaw-dropping graphics and a snappy AMD processor.

It has a pleasingly smooth and vivid 16.1 in IPS display with a 165Hz refresh rate and a full HD resolution of 1,920 x 1080.

The price of the old Omen has now been reduced from $ 1,600 to a more palatable $ 1.170 .

Its poor battery and excessive fan noise can be overlooked thanks to its reduced price.

The Omen 16 has a multi-zone backlit keyboard that can be customized.

It is powered by an AMD chip that is one of the best chips on the market for gaming.

While its performance is good, there’s only so much the Omen can take before its fans start to sound like the creaking air con in a cheap Vegas motel.

It's always good to have a 35mm headphone jack , but that solo USB-C port does cause frustration.

The Omen 16 has a snappy AMD CPU , a powerful GeForce RTX 4060 GPU , a smooth display and an attractive keyboard.

You also get poor battery life and noisy fans that can't be ignored.
