HP Omen Transcend 14 is one of the most attractive products that the American company presented at CES 2024. It is an ultralight for gaming, but thanks to its compact dimensions and good features.

Omen is the brand used by HP for its gaming equipment, accessories and peripherals. And it has everything a player is looking for. The Omen Transcend 14 is a unique product as it is advertised as a 14-inch gaming laptop. “the lightest on the market”. We can’t say for sure, but its aluminum chassis weighing just under 1.6 kg looks really good.

The rest of the features are also very good, starting with the screen – which, like the ultra-light ones we saw from Acer at CES – relies on panels OLED high level, with native resolution 2.8K (2880 x 1800 pixels)120 Hz variable refresh rate, HDR with a maximum brightness of 500 nits and a wide color gamut supporting 100 percent of the DCI-P3 spectrum.

Its hardware base includes Intel Meteor Lake processors with models up to Core Ultra 9 185H and dedicated graphics from NVIDIA, up to RTX 4070. It can fit up to 32 GB of DDR5 RAM and 2 TB of SSD storage.

Very good connectivity, with WiFi 7 which is heavily deployed at the Las Vegas trade show and the latest version of the second wireless standard, Bluetooth 5.4. It includes a full HDMI 2.1 connector, which will be great for connecting to a monitor while working at a desk, as well as two USB Type-C ports (one of them Thunderbolt 4).

The configuration is completed by an audio system prepared by HyperX, acquired by HP, a keyboard with RGB backlighting and a trackpad centered on the armrest. The HP Omen Transcend 14 will be available in black or white finishes, will come pre-installed with Windows 11, and will be available in the first quarter of 2024, priced from $1,599. Good luck.
