HP Omen 17t 5VX46AV_1 / 7LG51AV_1 (2019) 17.3″ Gaming Laptop

The HP Omen 17t 5VX46AV_1 / 7LG51AV_1 is a 17.3-inch gaming laptop. Inside its chassis with gaming-oriented design and a backlit keyboard on it, the Omen 17t 5VX46AV_1 / 7LG51AV_1 packs gaming-class video card options by Nvidia and powerful Intel processor options.

For game rendering, the laptop uses the Nvidia GeForce video cards – the GTX 1650 4GB as the basic option, somewhat faster GTX 1660 Ti 6GB or one of the high-end RTX video cards – the RTX 2060 6GB, RTX 2070 8GB, and RTX 2080 8GB. The RTX video cards provide ray tracing technology for more realistic visual effects in games, besides better overall graphics processing performance.

The HP Omen 17t 5VX46AV_1 / 7LG51AV_1 does main computing on the 9th Gen Intel Core i5-9300H quad-core, Core i7-9750H six-core, or i9-9880H eight-core processor. The i5-9300H and i7-9750H are standard processors for gaming and high-performance laptops, while the pricey i9-9880H option offers ultimate performance as the top-of-the-line chip.

Customers can choose RAM sizes of up to 32 Gigabytes and various internal data storage device options. You can get hard drive plus solid state drive configurations or pure solid state drive storage for the best performance. Also, 16GB and 32GB Intel Optane memory options can improve storage devices’ performance.

The Omen 17t features a large 70 WHr battery. Since its gaming components and big screen require more power than the standard ones, you can’t expect a great battery life.
