The HP Omen Transcend 14 is one of the better-looking gaming laptops we've reviewed in the last year here at Tom's Guide and right now you can get one for one of the lowest prices I've ever seen.
That's because right now the HP Omen Transcend 14 is $1,599 @ Best Buy , which is over $440 off the usual $2,039 asking price for this RTX 5070 gaming laptop. It's one of the best laptop deals right now.
This is a pretty great laptop that ranks among the best gaming laptops you can buy right now, in part because it looks great and runs the best PC games at good to great framerates on the 14-inch (2,880 x 1800) 120Hz OLED display.
You can see what I mean by skimming our HP Omen Transcend 14 review, in which you can see the machine up close and read our hands-on impressions and results from our testing lab. In fact, the model of Transcend on sale today is newer and sports a more powerful Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 laptop GPU than the model we reviewed, so you can count on even better gaming performance in your favorite games.
Of course, you'll almost certainly want to enable Nvidia's DLSS whenever possible, as the frame generation and image upscaling tech will help you get good performance out of even demanding games like Cyberpunk 2077 and Doom: The Dark Ages.
But all your favorite games will look their best on the HP Omen Transcend 14's 2.8K OLED 120 Hz display. I've been reviewing laptops and monitors for years and for my money there's no upgrade that makes a bigger difference than going from IPS panels to OLED. I love the enhanced contrast, inky blacks and bright highlights you enjoy on a good OLED panel, especially with HDR enabled, and it's not just for games—movies, shows and photos will also look great on this display.
And with 32GB of RAM and an Intel Core Ultra 9-285H CPU under the hood, this HP Omen Transcend 14 has enough muscle to handle gaming, working and content creation with equal aplomb.
And since this HP laptop has pretty low-key good looks you can take it to the office or the coffee shop without having to worry about looking like you're carrying a prop from a sci-fi movie. Plus it's remarkably thin and light at just over 0.7 inches thin and 3.6 pounds heavy, so it's easy to carry all day.
You get enough ports to use a good variety of accessories, too, including a pair of USB-A ports, a pair of Thunderbolt 4 USB-C ports, an HDMI out for plugging into external displays and a headphone jack for when you're in a coffee shop.
But be prepared to carry the charger with you when you're out and about because the battery life isn't fantastic. In our testing this laptop lasted under 5 hours normally and just one hour while gaming, which is not great but also par for the course when it comes to gaming laptops.
That said, this remains one of the lowest prices I've ever seen on one of the most attractive gaming laptops we've tested recently, so I suggest you act now if you want one before Black Friday!
