HP is upgrading its laptop offerings with the Omen Transcend 14. While previous Omen laptops were decent, the focus on value over quality and features held them back. The Omen Transcend 14 aims to change that by offering a more premium design, although it does have some shortcomings.
Featuring a thin and lightweight 14-inch design with a stunning OLED display, the Omen Transcend 14 competes well with options from Asus and Razer in terms of price. However, certain spec choices affect performance, especially in gaming. Hopefully, these issues will be addressed in future iterations of the laptop.
