Surprisingly affordable, but the battery life is a bummer

THE NEW HP Omen Transcend 14 gaming laptop is properly impressive. Usually, gaming portables come with a painful price tag. Not so with this beauty. It’s still more expensive than some RTX 4060 gaming laptops, but you won’t find many this compact, nor with such a lovely design and gorgeous, high-res OLED screen attached.
The standard sticker price for this model is $1,660 with an RTX 4060 GPU. It’s a no-brainer at just $70 more than the RTX 4050 option. That’s even more true at the $1,360 we’ve seen it offered for. That’s a great price for this little machine.
