When one thinks of a gaming laptop, one imagines a big and heavy machine, and most of them are. However, there are a couple of gaming laptops that take the slim route. The HP Omen Transcend 14 is one of them. HP unveiled the laptop at CES 2024, and it's now available in India. It's a relatively slim laptop, but at the same time, it can easily run AAA titles. The laptop doesn't have RGB strips like most gaming laptops and is all about stealth. Apart from running games, the laptop can also perform all kinds of other tasks, such as video editing, running 100 tabs in Chrome, and so on.
HP claims that the Omen Transcend 14 is their portfolio's lightest and slimmest laptop. I was able to try out the laptop for about a week and was truly impressed with what it could do.
The HP Omen Transcend 14 is available in two colour options in India. The Shadow Black option costs Rs. 1,74,999, whereas the Ceramic White variant costs Rs. 1,75,999. Only one variant is available in India, which is equipped with the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H CPU and the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 GPU.
The matte finish on the laptop does attract a lot of fingerprints
You get the laptop, some paperwork, and a 140W charging brick in the box.
HP has done a great job with the design of the Omen Transcend 14. At first glance, it doesn't look like a gaming laptop at all. It's slim at up to 0.79 inches, compact, and weighs about 1.6 kg. There are no flashy bits or RGB strips on the outside. We received the Shadow Black option, which has a matte finish and uses an aluminium chassis. There's no flex anywhere, and everything feels solid. However, the matte finish does attract some fingerprints.
There's minimal branding on the laptop
You get rounded edges and plenty of ports as well. The Omen logo is on the lid, and a ‘Designed and built for winning' slogan is on the thin ledge right behind the display hinges. Apart from that, there is no other branding on the outside.
Underneath, the laptop has two large intake vents for the dual fans. You'll also find the bottom-firing dual speakers at the bottom. However, the output grilles are on the front edge. You have the exhaust ports at the back, where the thin ledge is. The display hinges sit a bit forward, which keeps the heat away from the display and the keyboard.
The rear edge also gets an HDMI 2.1 port and a USB Type-C 3.2 (Gen 2) port, which can be used for charging or connecting to a display.
The rear port placement is quite useful when gaming
The HP Omen Transcend 14 has more ports on the sides. You get dual USB Type-A 10Gbps ports on the right edge, whereas the left edge houses a Thunderbolt 4 with a USB Type-C port and a combo audio jack. That's all the ports you get on the laptop, and it's plenty. A
