HP OMEN Transcend 14 (2025)
HP's 2025 14-inch gaming laptop pairs a Core Ultra 9 285H with an RTX 5070 Laptop GPU (8GB) and a 3K 120Hz OLED in a 1.63kg, 17.9mm anodized aluminum body. A 71Wh battery and a 140W USB-C adapter handle power, and a Core Ultra 7 255H option is also offered.
Pros
- Light and slim for a gaming laptop at 1.63kg and 17.9mm, with an anodized aluminum chassis
- 3K (2880x1800) OLED with 48-120Hz refresh, 0.2ms response, 100% DCI-P3 and 500-nit HDR
- Core Ultra 9 285H with 16 cores for demanding creative and gaming workloads
- Charges over USB-C from a compact 140W adapter, with fast charging to about 50% in 30 minutes
- Thunderbolt 4, a second USB-C, two USB-A, HDMI 2.1 and an optional Wi-Fi 7 card cover most connections
Cons
- The RTX 5070 is limited to 75W, so graphics performance trails higher-wattage laptops such as RTX 5070 Ti models in review testing
- Only 8GB of VRAM; 1% lows dropped noticeably in Monster Hunter Wilds in review testing
- LPDDR5x memory is soldered onboard, so RAM cannot be upgraded
- The chassis gets a little warm to the touch in extended performance use, and the trackpad felt cheap for the price in review testing
