HP Omen 16 2025 Review

HP Omen 16 2025 with Ryzen 9 8945HX, RTX 4070 8GB and 32GB dual-channel DDR5 with a free storage slot.

HP's mainstream gaming line on AMD's HX platform, with a MUX switch for direct GPU access and one open M.2 bay.

Overview

The Omen 16 pairs AMD's desktop-derived HX chip with an RTX 4070 and a 240Hz QHD+ panel, keeping both RAM slots populated but a second SSD slot free.

Our verdict

Reviewed by Burooj Alam. Rated by us, not by users.

Expert rating8.6 / 10

The Omen 16 has a Ryzen 9 8945HX, a GeForce RTX 40 series GPU with 8GB of VRAM and 32GB of DDR5. The 16.1-inch 2560 x 1600 IPS display runs at 240 Hz, and two M.2 slots with one free give room to grow storage.

It is a heavy laptop at 2.53 kg, so it suits a desk more than a backpack. Both RAM slots are already full, so any memory upgrade means swapping modules.
