What happened
Recommended (Image credit: © Future) TechRadar Verdict With memory prices spiralling, you wouldn't give HP much chance of delivering a good value gaming laptop. But the Omen 16 Slim does an impressive job given market constraints. You get decent gaming performance, good build quality and excellent battery life. The connectivity could be better and it's not terribly portable, despite the "Slim" branding. But if you can bag it at the right price, this is one of the best mainstream gaming laptops available today. The source signal from TechRadar should be placed in context first: the timing, the confirmed detail, and the reason it belongs in today's technology queue.

Who should act or wait
There are two core variants of the Omen 16, a standard-sized model and this so-called "Slim". Long story short, this Slim model is a little skinnier but still isn't exactly super compact for a 16-inch laptop, thanks to not only a fairly hefty lower screen bezel, but also a chassis that sticks out beyond the base of the display. At least the slightly tanky proportions translate into a tanky chassis with a solid feeling keyboard bed. For readers, the useful frame is evidence, affected users, remaining risk, and the next point worth checking before acting. This section should name the reader group that benefits from acting now or waiting for confirmation.
